Does anyone have access to any of the 1e Heavy Gear books, such as the original rulebook? I've looked in the troves (this and the original trove) and nothing. Anyone have any ideas? I bought Heavy Gear 1e as pretty much my first RPG/wargame and would love to get hold of it.
...without spending cash of course!

Personally I have no idea but maybe asking in the pdf share thread or seeing if anyone else has any ideas or copies

This model looks better than the ones currently in Heavy Gear assault
Jose Barnes
This is a hundred times better than the fiberglass looking ones they decided to use. And it actually looks like the Gear.
Ryan Garcia
Honestly the HG: Assault models look like they were made by someone who just didn't care enough about the IP they're working with at all. Like they wanted to make a mech arena battle game where mechs are based on the same skeleton with different armor for customizing and just happened to have the HG license for convenient brand recognition or something.
Elijah Cox
Yeah, I mean they don't look bad per se, they just don't look like any model of gear in HG.

Oh no doubt as mechs they look fantastic. They just, as you said, don't look like anything from Heavy Gear.
Like if I didn't already know they were for HG: Assault and someone showed me them if never have guessed they were supposed to actually be Gears and not just mecha inspired by HG and VOTOMs and the like.

I remember my GM described GRELs as looking like O2 deprived pale guys, whose skin was pallid with pink or purple highlights instead of beige-brown or reddish.
Like white people after a hard workout and a frigid cold shower.
The art of Blue / Purple people is pretty comical by comparison and doesn't really seem to have a reason other than for easy differentiation of GRELs from regular human stock.
Jayden Hall
That's a pretty good take on them, I always kind of imagine them looking like the Engineer from the movie Prometheus but with more of a purplish tint to the skin tone.
Ryan Green
What's the status with the blitz rule book? I can't seem to figure out what the latest edition is from dp's website.
Benjamin Thomas
The one on drivethru RPG is always the latest, if I remember right.
Nathan Thomas
user is correct here
Charles Kelly
Maybe Ghislain just like purple, that's why he gave the gears purple toes.
Joseph Russell
Fucker reminds me of the Neosapiens from Exo Squad.
Asher Hall
That's basically what GREL are.
>tfw you now want to run SilCore Exo-Squad...

/m/an here, this is the game based on Votoms right? Is there a Scopedog equivalent?
Nolan Sullivan
Probably the Jager in appearance and role, all the Southern Gears have the VOTOMs-esque rounded armor aesthetic as well.
Gavin Cook
>i think the basilisk fits the bill.
Evan Nguyen
I was just about to post "the Basilisk is a lot closer in appearance though" with that exact same image.
Jaxson Gonzalez
I remember someone posting a D6 System conversion for Heavy Gear, does anyone still have the links?
James Lopez
How's the game doing these days anyways? I've got first edition books back at my folks place (never did bother to move the giant armoire of books once PDFs came about)...
