MEST Tactics :: Updates

Big News!

I took the time to make many new components of the MEST Tactics game system which were previously unavailable become available.

Overview

These are the recent changes.

MEST Tactics QSR v2

This is an extraction of the MEST Tactics Core rules limited to 40-pages. It keeps the number of Archetypes (character profiles) to a small number and removes nearly all of the Intermediate rules, and all of the Advanced rules and traits. Again, this is from many, many, years of effort to edit and clarify. 








MEST Tactics on Tabletop Simulator

I've made public the MEST Tactics modules which I wrote and scripted for Tabletop Simulator [ TTS ].
TTS will require that the free playground container known as "Steam" be installed on your desktop or laptop. TTS is a separate purchase of about $15 USD for license.

Afterwards, each player can access the modules ("mods") which I created and made public in the TTS Workshop under the keywords "MEST" and "MEST Tactics". 

Launch the MEST Tactics - Baseline module first, and then any one of the MEST Tactics - Terrain modules to add interesting terrain.

The entire Introductory Scenarios, including character cards and the free TTS fantasy models are available for players that have mastered the QSR from above.

I've got bunches of other play-aides made available within the Baseline module as well.












MEST Tactics Site

I've updated the MEST Tactics Google Site with lots of content, including media shots and some history of the game design. The Downloads section is where you will want to visit for PDFs of everything.
