It cuts as it smushes while it crushes, it's the pincer!

A Titanomachina system card for the Pincer 1. It is charge 2 for two attack actions, 1 cog, at range 1 with grapple and shield breaker. It has the block reaction.

Robert Wood@octopodig· 28d

A plasma driver seems like a vastly underpowered way of delivering plasma with a tremendous kick. Operated by the right crew the results will be shocking.

A plasma driver card for Titanomachina. It is charge 2, 3x attack actions, 1 cog, 4 range, shock, and the recoil trait. It has the block reaction.

What if mallet-configuration Clymene had dual plasma drivers instead of plasma howitzers? #Titanomachina

The Titan Clymene in red, blue, and green. She is armed with two plasma drivers, a missile pod, and an auxiliary sensor. She is stepping forward, as if to embrace Her opponent with those nuclear arms. She is on a pink-on-black grid background.

Presented for your consideration, the Fireball Party Bucket. Want to party? Fetch the bucket...

A picture of a stack of Fireball Party Bucket containers. They are orange and red, and they have a handle that is white.

Yup

Some twat in front of a death-trap, with a caption saying: "Real Men Test in Production."

Trying out a new colour scheme for Clymene. Tried it on Eurybia, but it seems to suit Clymene better. #Titanomachina

The Titan Clymene in a green, red, and blue colour scheme with green at the joints, and blue plates decorating mainly red armour. There's some light pink, light blue, and black in there.

Glorious Bastest triumphs over less glorious Isis in a time of dynastic uncertainly as Ahkenaten roams the land! Notice Ay in the Throne Room... #Ankh #BoardGames

An Ankh board on which the forces of Isis (light blue) contend with those of Bastest (purple) in ancient Egypt, with several expansions including the Pharoah, Guardians, and extra Gods.

Our lamentations: Tethys arose from Her sunken cities and quadra-decimated the city. THE SURGING TIDE SWEPT ALL BEFORE HER!

The Titan Tethys in Her quaternary configuration, two rocket pods and two laser blades. She is light green, grey-blue, and grey with some blue and red details.

Tethys was sculpted by Jason Miller.

Stygian Styxx #Titanomachina

The Titan Styxx in senary configuration armed with a vulcan gun, plasma howitzer, and buzz saw. She has a colour scheme based on Queen Teal rather than Her usual Hooker Green.

Styxx was sculpted by Jason Miller.

"Eurybia is advancing; Eurybia is engaging targets, I see you..." #Titanomachina

The Titan Eurybia with four legs, a right arm claw, and left arm macro gun, taking a step forward towards the lower right corner of the photo. Eurybia is standing on a wooden table-top, in front of a faux-leather sleeved photo album. She is grey.

Robert Wood@octopodig· Jul 5

Heck yeah! #Titanomachina

Four configurations of the Titan Eurybia on a coaster, on a table, enhanced to show off detail on unpainted grey prints.

#Battletech Share your dream mech that you want to pilot

ALM-XF, aka the Fireball Extra Fast. Made for illegal street racing. It's a egg-mech with arms, legs, racing vanes and a spoiler. It is portrayed like it is running. It can go up to 432 kph and has the Hard to Pilot quick.

Show me a cool physical game.

A Titanomachina board set up for play at Hal-con 2025, showing four Titans in yellow, pink, blue, and green, each with a figure, habitat blocks, shield tokens, dashboard cards, and system decks. The pass and personality cards are fanned out and there is a reference card. Art by Loic Billiau, Kristina Amuan, and Jason Miller.

Goods news, cogs! #Titanomachina

A Geordi TNG-style meme with the Titan Tethys. The first panel is Tethys blocking the text in the second planel saying: "Getting in the giant robot" with Her claw. The third panel, or first panel of the second row, has Tethys in a more accepting pose, with the text in the fourth panel saying: "Getting in the giant robots with friends." Going pretty far for a cheap laugh eh?

It's fungus life forest 🎶🎵 #fungus #moss

A fungus growing out of a tree trunk resembling a pair of lips, as if the tree were a puppet of some kind.

Sometimes I need to remind myself of what I want to sell...

A Titanomachina prototype board at Hal-con 2025, with 100 habitat cubes (wood+stickers), 110 cards, four miniature Titans (5cm figures), card sleeves, dry erase markers, A5 rule book, and 40 plastic transparent bingo chips as shield tokens. The delivered product would come in a box with an insert for storage, plastic cubes, and standees with a link to STL files for the Titans.

I've played a few of these sorts of demo games.

A seven panel XKCD comic about Chess. There are three top panels with two distinguishable figures. Panel 1; Figure 1 is playing on a desktop computer: *move* Figure 2: "Why'd you move your knight away?" Panel 2; Figure 2: "Just think [i]logically[/i]. The goal is checkmate, sobyou should always move pieces toward the other player's king." Panel 3; Figure 2: "I guess occassionally you need to move backward, but it'd be trivial to make a list of those circumstances and-" There are four bottom panels. Panel 4; Figure 1: "Have you ever [i]played[/i] Chess?" Figure 2: "Not much, but-" Figure 1: "Wanna?" Figure 2: "Uh, Ok." Panel 5 has them alternating *moves* with Figure 1 winning in 8 moves. Panel 6 is just Figure 2 looking at the board. Panel 7 has Figure 1 back at the desktop, with Figure 2 saying: "This game isn't very well designed. For starters, knights are too weak..."

"...and Eurybia who has a heart of flint within her." Hesiod, Theogony 233 ff #Titanomachina

The Titan Eurybia in blue and silver armour, in Her primary configuration of vulcan gun, laser blade, and rocket pod, but with an additional rocket pod over Her right shoulder. She's set against a pink-on-black grid background. I like to think She is described as having a heart of flint because She doesn't take shit from anyone.

What's a good reaction to an attack when you can't spin your stealth system up to full speed? Deploy counter-measures!

An icon for a cloaking action with a Stealth system in Titanomachina, a rounded-corner square containing an eyelid represented by a curved line and five straight lines as 'eyelashes'. It's green.

An icon for the counter-measures action for a Stealth system in Titanomachina. It is a circle with a figure inside with red lines from the background cutting across the figure. The notion is it reduces the available targets for the attacker.

Happy Father's Day!

The planet Uranus. Cold, icy, distant, Uranus is not a great dad, but at least he is castrated, right?

It's Friday and I'm feeling whimsical, like dual-battery whimsical #Titanomachina

Two configurations of the Titan Styxx in the colours of the Transgender Flag. The left one has two big arms with laser batteries and a missile pod in a turret mount. The right one has no arms and two gun batteries.

Styxx was sculpted by Jason Miller.

Click-click-wink #Titanomachina

The head, chest, shoulders, and sponsons of the Titan Clymene. She is also holding up a pair of plasma howitzers with the cyclotrons held up like thumbs. She is winking and giving finger guns to the viewer.

Robert Wood@octopodig· Jun 18

There's already an 'up' arrow in Titanomachina to indicate pushing ('impact'), and a turning arrow to indicate grappling, so I figured a 'down' arrow to indicate pulling ('drag') and a sideways arrow for recoil. For harpoon reasons.

It's a downwards pointing black arrow in a black-edged grey square on a white background.

It's a sideways (right) pointing black arrow in a black-edged grey square on a white background.

Robert Wood@octopodig· Jun 17

Hmm. Which one says 'you can't see me,' keeping in mind the standing guy without the negation sign means 'I can see you.' ✂️🎲

A green square with sharp corners upon which stands a figure, super-imposed over which is a negation sign of a circle with a line through it. Kinda heavy though.

Robert Wood@octopodig· Jun 17

They share an economic zone! #Titanomachina

The Titans Eurybia and Rhea, both in the colours of the Lesbian Flag. Eurybia is in Her primary configuration of vulcan gun, rocket pod, and laser blade. Rhea is in Her senary configuration with two hands and two laser batteries. They are set against a pink-on-black background grid. So obviously they're allied in some fashion.

Robert Wood@octopodig· Jun 15

Eurybia in the colours of the Asexual flag! #Titanomachina

The Titan Eurybia in the colours of the Asexual flag, purple, black, white, and grey, set against the notion-space background of a pink-on-black grid. Somehow She manages to make a rude gesture with Her pincer.

Robert Wood@octopodig· Jun 14

Eos, in the non-binary flag colours! #Titanomachina
