Since we last met Ternwillow was destroyed, Civilization was forced under the sea, and mankind is just trying to survive.

A mecha module compatible with TROIKA!  We wanted to make something that is playable, hackable, modular, and art.  

Find out why Ternwillow has gone underwater through play. 

  • New Pilot Equipment (10) - Aquatic Rebreathers, to Jet-Rafts, and Schooling Remora Countermeasures.
  • New Interchangeable Mech Parts (29) - Photon Mines that overload optics, the Nautilus Cloak active camouflage, and Aquatic Seals so you never have to worry about a leak.
  • New Vehicles (4) - Speed Boats, Air Freighters, and Cruise Ships!
  • New Pilot Backgrounds (2) - The Urban Sniper that hunts with a Robotic Clone and the Mech Whisperer that rides on top of her mechs.
  • New Mechs (6) - trident wielding fast swimmers, living fortresses that serve as cities, and Aquatic Patrol Bots. 
  • New enemy pilots (3) - rented security and wounded ace pilots wired directly into their mechs
  • New missions and maps (3) - Can you shut off the data flow? Upgrade your Fleet? Or rescue a downed pilot from a black site?
  • New modular alarm systems - 3 new ways to trigger alarms and 3 dynamic response networks that mutate their reactions over time.
  • New Civilization - The Seat of the Blue Ash… where did they come from? Is it a new home for Ternwillow? What codes do they follow?
  • Settlement Generator - How big is the settlement? Is it on a tanker? What sort of problems are they having? How are the Defended? And Who is the Leadership?
  • New Scrap Tables - What’s in the Wreckage? What’s in the Escape Pod? 
  • New Classified Ammunition - No one knows what this is, I hope you don’t get caught?
  • Strange Underwater Happenings - Where did that fin come from?
  • Underwater Rules - Atmospheric Conditions, a Tidal Generator, and a new out of control table for underwater chaos
  • New pilot rules - New damage ranges [OFFSCREEN], new [AQUATIC] qualities for firing underwater, Missile strikes, Overloading and Overclocking
  • New Berserk Actions - For when you need to front flip into an axe kick and bash skulls.

"New missions and maps (3)" Is there a fully fleshed out adventure in this?

There’s not an “adventure”. I’m still deciding what an adventure for Ternwillow would look like.

Included are 3 “Missions”; Each a combination of encounters, maps, and random tables, each has a goal or a series of goals and new equipment or new NPCs to interact with or add to the party.

1. Poseidon’s Inferno: breaking into a facility and shutting down it’s satellite uplink.
2. The Whale Locker: an aquatic scrapyard, raid it and get some new equipment!
3. Black Reef Medical: a top secret medical facility, they have one of your pilots, go get them back!

They work great as one-shots and encounters in-between a larger adventure. There’s also a series of Alarm Trigger and Response Networks to augment the maps and make everything that much more absurd or deadly. Ranging from detecting hacking attempts or mech activations to deploying machine sentries, flooding the facilities, or incinerating the whole place.

I don't think anyone knows what a Troika adventure would look like until played but at least something as fleshed out as the demo hotel adventure in the core book would be awesome for this or like So you've Been Thrown Down a Well. Something open to interpretation but more than a list of ideas like Savage Worlds Plot Point system.

How does this link to "The Tragedy That Begot Ternwillow?" Is it more setting info or a sequel?

It’s both. It’s more Mechs. More pilots. More bestiary entries. A couple missions. A couple alarm systems. Some maps. A city / settlement generator. Underwater rules. Continuation of the story. Idea is they fled to the sea after everything fell apart.

Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.

Original electronic format
These ebooks were created from the original electronic layout files, and therefore are fully text searchable. Also, their file size tends to be smaller than scanned image books. Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
