Mallory's Maniacs
INTRODUCTION
-Welcome, to Mallory's Maniacs a new open-ended ongoing Classic Battletech campaign. Currently being run at conventions in the New England & Pennsylvania area. Each player plays the role of a mech pilot working for a major mercenary company set in 3039. Players will develop their pilots & customize their Mechs over the course of a continuing set of missions. Each mission will involve a group of mechs (players) with a defined set of objectives. Each pilot in the group will receive rewards in the form of C-Bills and XP based on whether or not the mission is successful, whether their ‘mech survives, Objectives met, etc.. C-Bills are used to upgrade ‘mechs, or buy new ones. XP is used to upgrade pilots & buy back Edge points.
CAMPAIGN
-Each Mission is a single game intended for 4-8 players. The players will all form a single team while the GM will run the opposing force.
-Successful completion of a scenario will result in the awarding of XP and a C-Bills, as well as pieces of equipment or a mech chassis that are now available to the player as salvage.
-On occasion, missions will also include a “Bonus Objective”. This could be anything from completing the main objective in a given period of time, gathering some additional intel, capturing an enemy pilot, etc. Completing the Bonus objective will generally involve extra C-Bills or XP.
-As with other “Living” campaigns, awards will be assigned a C-Bill cost, and will be made available to all players of a mission. If the player has the C-Bills they can purchase the equipment earned in their battle before it goes up on the web site and others have a chance to purchase.
