Cradle's hottest small-press zine, New Wild West is the foremost collectively owned magazine focusing exclusively on the junked, scrapped, and beat-up tore-down all-around best homegrown engineering that the outer diaspora has to offer. A veritable smorgasbord, a who’s-who and what’s-what of the planets in and around the outer ranges of human habitation, we have all the details on the rust-bucket fighting machines from the Karakoram Line, to the Annamites and beyond! With sources you wouldn’t believe and direct lines to the brightest minds of the distant diaspora, we have cutting edge information that would make Union UBM weep! For the high-brow Cradle resident with baby-soft hands or the down-on-her-luck diasporan looking for ideas on how she can optimize her operating temperatures, for the lowballing mechanic or high-falutin gang leader, we got it all. New designs, straight from the source, updates on everybody's favorite scrap gangs, and survivalist tips you won't believe, New Wild West brings you: Volume [ERROR, REDACTED]

Half fanzine for the popular TTRPG Lancer, half third-party expansion pack for the same, New Wild West is a quick-and-dirty project by Hyper-C Shells, author of the forthcoming module Trouble On Dpok. The core conceit of the project is that this is an in-universe fanzine for junkyard and hand crafted mechas in worlds far from the well-developed galactic core or Cradle.

I am looking for artists and writer, and I would like you to make either an illustration or a mech or a column for writers. I need roughly 4-5 small illustrations, 7 mechs, and 6 pages of written material. If you choose to draw one of the 7 mechs, then this project will be a bit strange; your prompt will be primarily second hand information about the mech. Then I'll have another artist draw another version of your design for Comp/Con and for the cover of the zine. The method behind this madness is that these are supposed to be drawings and reports from readers and contributors which may or may not accurately represent reality.

If you are interested in designing a mech, you can select one based on the lore at the below link:

https://docs.google.com/document/d/1VtNa2BZkpvXWelOOhXeuK9wE8C0CkF-U4qJ0uf4Agts/edit?usp=sharing

For the small illustrations, I am looking not for full-page detailed illustrations, but rather simple drawings to fill white space on the page. We can discuss ideas for them, but their general subject should be distant and under-developed planets inhabited by hard-bitten and high-strung colonists and mech pilots.

This project is open to both amateur and established artists.

Finally, if you are a writer and would like to write a brief column for the book, please contact me.

Please contact me if you are interested. I can be reached on twitter at https://twitter.com/HyperCShells and on discord at @chrome ruin

All work will be paid.

is this the right place to provide feedback on new wild west?

I prefer it in my server, but here is fine!

#

okay

#

a few of the systems in the lcp, specifically Ranger links, Friendship Core, Sharpshooter Links, Upcycle, and Hypertextual Linkage have duplicate tags, i think because the tags are both being added automatically by Comp/con (or whatever process), and have been added manually in the lcp

chrome ruin

yeah, I noticed that. I'll be fixing it for sure!

Uhm, hello?

#

I was told to give feedback on the alt frame version of scrapper details?

#

I'll wait until I'm pinged ig

charred jetty
#

I kinda played with it for a bit and it was a bit op.

  • The damage on the integrated was scary as it killed things too fast or guaranteed a structure.

  • Improvised ammo was disgusting in a good and bad way as I kept using long ranged heavy and super heavies and it just looped with me firing the integrated and reloading and doing the next on my mount

  • Indulgences were very powerful but almost never got the full effects since battles went by so fast with how much damage is dished out.

  • The long in tooth was really powerful, especially given if your weapon already has ordanace which gives it an outright flat range bonus

For the Make Peace passive on the Onion I'm a little confused on some of the wording. It's a d6 but stops and ends on a 4 and the final bit mentions if they got to 4 or higher am I missing something about getting to 5 or 6?

at first I was disappointed by the Details license, finding it very underwhelming, but the Straight-8 is a thing of beauty !
sure, at first 8d3 with overkill might seems scary, but there is a itty bitty little frame that just happen to not roll damage rolls...
*evil grin* I'm sure I can make a disgusting Peggy with this bad boy !

summer oar
spare shoal
#

ah, don't worry, this is very subjective, I am a filthy min-maxer and I was hoping that a frame meant to be a superheavy platform would finally make them better than overlooped Loading weapons ^^'

to be more specific, I find that the license lack any equipment that benefit Superheavies specifically, and the frame traits really do not seems that good to me, or at least are outside of my playstyle so I fail to considers them correctly.

Devil's own luck is generally good, but I don't plan on being destroyed in the first place if I can help it, the first 4 effects of Raise hell are minor with only the last 2 being really goodI just noticed that it doesn't say that it rolls over back to 1 after the 6th barrage, if that's on purpose then this trait is much better and might make the frame worth it, and the superheavy mount is just a worse heavy mount.

The active is very situational and only allow for one emergency barrage per combat, and the integrated weapon really suffers from the bonus damages being cut in half.

#

Also, are the effect of Raise Hell sequential or does each number retain the previous ones ? the text is a bit ambiguous and if it's the later and it do not roll over to 1, then I must amend my judgement and say that this frame is in fact extremely good !

summer oar
#

thank you for explaining!

summer oar
#

@chrome ruin could you confirm, does raise hell either change for each number, or do they stockpile the effects?

tho i could be wrong lmao

Hey guys, I was wondering how the Shattered NHP from the Dime interacts with Iconoclast (Dustgrave)? It seems to be worded to make the whole have really nice synergy aside from one part of Iconoclast that says “When you Cascade and lose control of your Mech” like do you guys think it’s just restating what Cascading does, or does it complete prevent synergy with Shattered NHP?

summer oar
#

I mean I wouldn't say that it has complete synergy prevention, it's still synergizes with the first two levels of the talent

#

I also PERSONALLY assumed it meant only when shattered NHP cascaded, tho i could be wrong

So, ive been reading thriugh new wild west, and one ability caoght my eye that raised an eyebrow. The EM Bombs for the Cloud.

to quote, "Once per scene, when you fly over a hostile character, you can drop a bomb on them as a free action. The target takes 2 AP Explosive and must make an Agility Save or become Jammed and Impaired until the end of their next turn. On a successful save they only become Impaired."

Far be it for me to critique the work of a creator, after all im no gm, much less a homebrew chef, and have no idea how to balance stuff, but once per scene seems pretty low dont you think? Maybe make it once per round or turn, or just make it limited or something. even allowing one more use per scene would make it much more appealing.

THoughts ont his? and sorry if im being rude at all by saying any of this

jovial fjord
#

Jammed is pretty dang powerful, so we see why a limiter like that was chosen.
Whether that's the right limiter, strictly speaking, uhhh. Shrug, wdk. But that's why, at least

balmy rover
#

actually now that i think about it, it makes sense why its so limited. if you get a speedy mech flying, you could easily carpet bomb half a squad

#

sorry for being such an idiot here

balmy rover
junior tendon
#

Have you considered trying it out in an actual game? To my knowledge all the mechs and systems in NWW have been playtested a bunch so I'd assume this was decided on for a reason

balmy rover
#

Fair enough lol.

Sorry if I've been an asshole.

formal thorn
# balmy rover oh yeah im not saying it shouldnt be limited, im just saying that imo once per s...

Hi there, I've playtested it!

I find that the list of requirements often bring a lot of prior requirements!

I find this system falls in line with two core systems

  • stuncrown
    And
  • horos 1

Both systems are limited and cause jammed. While they have a quick action tax, they do not provoke overwatches. Furthermore, they are far less limited with stuncrown being a large aoe and horos being 1/ character!

em bomb is single target, and often provokes overwatch or requires a use of mechanics.

#

As such, I do not think it is that bad.

balmy rover
formal thorn
#

Iirc it is 1/scene

balmy rover
#

ok.....well, as someone who has never played the frame before, heres what going through my head when i look at it:

it gives a decent bit of garanteed damage, as well as causing useful status effects, in addition to being only one system point. however, the situations it can be used in are uncommon and require some work on the players part. thankfully, due to the nature of the Cloud frame, the circumastances to use the ability are easy to get when using the acompanying frame are easy to get.

formal thorn
#

I shall speaketh the age old adage

  • read lancer, read
#

All bit aside ....

balmy rover
#

however its usage is so limited that it the longer i look at it, the more i see a cheaper yet objectively worse version of stuncrown

#

so why wouldn i just put the system points into getting a stuncrown or horus 1?

formal thorn
#

2ap is outdone by Icockast or the GMS ar

#

And things you want to deterministic have good Eva

formal thorn
balmy rover
#

still bad. like i said, its just a worse version of those abilities, so you may as well put two points into engineering and get one of those abilities instead.

formal thorn
#

Not quite

#

EM bombs

  • does not require as much LL investment as stuncrown or system points investment as horos 1
  • does not require a quick action , so you have better action eco
  • lower sp cost.
#

It's a versatile tool, gives you a little extra something to toss in. Like spike charges on Caliban . The design is not
"Consistent source of jam" , it's extra utility in a pinch type beat

#

1/ scene
"I am having trouble handling you " tool to give you some breathing room

balmy rover
#

well when you put it like that, i can see the appeal.

#

yeah, ok, im getting it now. its meant to just be a cheap one and done tripup in a fight, nothing more

formal thorn
#

TF2 style sidegrade is the way I see it.

balmy rover
#

its like an ullapool caber

formal thorn
#

It is a different took for a different use case.
Horos is a strong controller/hacker tool
Stuncrown can be a lovely "get away from me" or a gnarly striker enabler by jamming and impairing. .
And EM bombs is a 1/scene system you can use as a ablative system for a spot of versatility you can afford to lose

balmy rover
#

i getcha, i getcha

#

ok then, thanks for the talk man!

Got a question about the Stowaway NPC; is it supposed to be able to take a turn/act while inside of its host? I'm assuming 'no' because that seems more reasonable than an untargetable threat that gets to eat any wreck its host is adjacent to.

jovial fjord
#

The Stowaway functionally does not exist until its host dies (if we recall the NPC correctly)
It's not mechanically "inside" the NPC. That's just the fluff. It effectively spawns when that NPC wrecks

Specifically, how does the Rhea Supply system (Details III) deploy? Is it an actual deployable, or does it essentially "share" the space of the mech that uses it?

And also Dime's Active Core Power doesn't count as a tech action, does it?

  1. The dime originally didn't have a weapon, it's definitely a hacking focused mech more than anything, i mean look at its nhp
  2. yeah exactly, it does heavy tier reliable damage, fairly consistently, on a cannon

1d6+3 is heavy tier?

yeesh

#

(this is so cool tho)

im currently running a madrigal/dime combo

formal thorn

# uncut iron 1d6+3 is heavy tier?

1d6+3 is average 6.5; whereas 2d6 (vague heavy baseline) is average 7
main weapons are generally in the 1d6 range
(all with bells and whistles which the reliable would count as)

HMG and Daisy Cutter have significant downsides they trade for being well above that and are not representative of the baseline (and that's arguably why they're so popular)

also: when dealing with anything limited, remember that you can add +5 charges with HASE and a core bonus, so it has to be balanced around that

Hey, I'm having a bit of difficulty with the 1.05 lcp; I'm trying to install it on cc-dev, but for some reason all other lcps work for installing but NWW doesn't show up as an installable option - it appears in the box, but doesn't show anything and won't install

#

Works fine on normal compcon

#

v2

#

Weirdly enough I tried an older version and it doesn't seem to like that either - it loads into the left menu on compcon, but is greyed out and doesn't show an option to install

#

Nevermind; please ignore the above, got the dev version from discord

Hullo can I ask is the superheavy mount still supposed to remove a main/aux mount on comp con?

#

I thought having a superheavy mount on the details frame would mean you dont need to sacrifice an extra mount, or is that still intended?

silver birch
#

Like is the superheavy mount just straight worse than a heavy mount?

#

Cuz it can only equip superheavies but still requires to sacrifice a mount

#

Not sure if it works right in comp con...

#

@chrome ruin hope its not a bother to ask, one of my players is askin as they are doin a build kitty_peek_lurk

The Scrapper Writings is a mech that finds people in the night. It's designs find people in their dreams, beaming ideas into their head, directing them to build using parts ranging from black market to abandoned smartfire to many, many, horus parts and union research.
It has almost an instinct for finding broken things and making them it's own. It has an uncanny capability to bend luck, to bring its crafter to their goals.
Not building it may drive you mad. Building it drives you to horrible places. Horus software on scrapper hardware.

idk if this is an issue for anyone else, but the dev build for compcon v3 can't properly load NWW, for some reason changing the lcp version to not have a zero in it solved the problem

#

figured I should let people know

desert pier
#

Yeah compcon v3 may be strictly enforcing semantic versioning (aka semver), which something like “1.03” is not if that’s how you’re doing things

#

1.3.0, 1.0.3, and 1.3 I think should be legal

#

(Semver uses major.minor.patch syntax)

So, a little birdie named "The Cardstock Caster" over on itch.io told me that there's a new version of Trouble on Dpok being worked on, that if you asked nicely enough, you could get access to.

That being said...

#

I need that kobold infected barbarossa so bad omg

chrome ruin
#

I have some changes that I haven't been able to integrate specifically to that frame, the ghoul

#

Mostly because they are untested

Oh, snap. I thought Dpok was done. I didn't realize it was still being worked on in any sense. I'm looking forward to more, whatever shape that takes.

I've got a question about the Saladin alt-frame, Bibars. Do the Particle Weaves it hands out count as Overshields?
