I was just looking at the CBT site or is it the BT site now that they have gained the rights to remove the Classic part of the title, and i noticed the quick start for the new RPG. It may possibly invalidate the entire 3rd ed or CBT RPG; No longer does it use d10s but now it uses 2d6 like the rest of BT. But it may keep the life paths as it keeps many of the attributes from 3rd ed. Anyone know more? _________________ one must work hard to cultivate the mind and body. and one must always cultivate the mind.

I wish they would do away with the life paths...really if I want a pre-done character I would wait till someone is running an event at a con and play there. The idea of building a character means you the player comes up with what happens and why and the GM either allows it or doesn't.
Life paths as written take that way and give out pre-canned NPCs for the players to run.
Glad to hear about the change in the dice, but wish they would drop the life paths idea all together. _________________ Karagin Only the dead have seen the end of war. - Plato

No wonder why the fanpro version was 50% off at gencon /shakes fist.
Those life path are a PITA. It reminds me of old school Traveler. It does add flavor, but considering your character can die so quickly in a mech, it is way too much effort
