Yep I'll gladly back this, been really impressed with everything from the TiNaT guys so far.

Ok, questions...

1. Climbing - the 2AP trigger for a 'Climb Test' - does it only count if the AP are spent in a single Activation, or over multiple Activations?  Example: Activation one, a model spends 1 AP to climb 1", halfway to the next floor above. On the next turn the same model now spends 1 more AP to make it to the next floor up.

Also, is it one test per climb, regardless of how high, or one test per 2" / level of structure?

2. Lasers - The special rule for these Relics allows us to roll 2d10 and pick the better result to hit. Will they Malfunction if either die comes up a '1'?

As I recall Laser weapons only malfunction on double ones.

Only if during the same activation as the model is effectively scrambling up terrain in a non-safe manner.

For now lasers only malfunction if you roll double Fumbles.  We may introduce a recommended change that instead of malfunctioning in this manner, the weapon flat out breaks for the rest of the game.

Thanks for the speedy reply!

Got it. Slow and safe, no tests. But risky scrambling may get you where you need to be in time to be useful.

Yow! We might play-test that. Right now lasers don't seem to be prone to malfunction, so we might try the Jam on any single '1' result as well. Honestly though we just haven't had enough time with them in game.

All the best for a successful Hard Copy KS!

Is that an official banner or a fanmade? Is it just me who thinks a Commercialbanner should be free of typing errors?

It's a Kick Stater campaign, you get kicked and state that it hurts

Gladly backed, already have the pdf so I'm really glad to see we get a little bone thrown to us in the form of that awesome Johnny Atomic figure.

Too many options - now I have to decide between being a Wasteland Legend or King of the Wastes.

Also, how integral are the bottle caps to play or are they a 'nice to have but not essential' sort of item?
