Then came TNE where characters could nearly shrug off a plasma gun hit 

The main problem with electronic books is that you have to either use them on-screen only (a matter of preference, not to mention computer availability for some of us, I for example have access to a computer about 10 hours a day - most of which I can't dedicated to RPGing - in the weekdays and roud the clock only in weekends) or print them, which adds to the cost. For example, I can print for an expensive 0.2 New Israeli Shekels (circa 0.045 US$) per page, which could increase price by 25%-50%.Originally posted by Fritz88:
You can get them at drivethrurpg, as well, in electronic format.
By the way, how is Striker in this regard?Originally posted by SgtHulka:
Then, in Azhanti High Lightning, you need an 8 just to hit something (IIRC). That evens the playing field a bit, since in Snapshot you only needed an 7 to hit Cloth armor with an assault rifle, and only a 1 with a (much less easily acquired, i.e. more likely to be in the hands of your enemy) Gauss Rifle. Or was there a mechanic in AHL that decreased the to hit number based on autofire?

I'm a CT canon-monger as well. And I was guilty of ignoring MT for a long time. But recently, I decided that MT material is actually USEFUL add-ons for my CT campaigns.Originally posted by Bromgrev:
Having never laid eyes on a copy of MT, can anyone convince me of its merits as opposed to the LBBs? What does MT have that CT doesn't?
In other words, should I be trying to get my hands on a copy?
