ChromeStrike (0.9.85)

It's been fairly busy over here so ChromeStrike hasn't been my top priority.  In this most recent edition a better skill system has been put in place, along with the re-added character equipment section.  This should allow characters to be that much more varied and able to excel at certain activities outside of their machines.

Other than ChromeStrike proper, there's been a bit more work done on the potential expansion booklets.  My favorite of the bunch, Spess (shush, that's a working title) is going to deal with more Gundam-y and Armored Core-y weaboo space fighting.  Because let's face it, energy shields and beam swords should totally be an option.  You heathen.

ChromeStrike (Update)

In the spirit of getting ChromeStrike presentable the rulebook is currently being redone for the second time.  This time it's going to be much more neat and presentable- higher resolution background pages, logos, better fonts, and placeholder art.  Overall it's quite a bit more sexy then before.  Chances are you will agree with me once it's floating around the Internet.

In other news, it's getting about that time where I begin to commission artwork.  I've already got a small list of random potential drawfriends and Deviantart folks.  Should any of you out there know a decent artist, I'd be happy to consider them for commissions.

Expect a 0.9.80 release some time in the next week or two.  0.9.80 will still be using the old format, but will have updated rules, some missing sections added, and a new mech part or two.  In due time it will be phased out with the new rulebook (KILL ME NOW).  New book is coming (C) Soon.

Above images are not final and are subject to change.  Especially that cover-coloring.
