Once upon a time, there were eight great clans upon the world of Donald's Rest.

Their world was a

cold place, with thin atmosphere. But the Clans were the greatest of the families that had founded the
world, and they built for themselves a home on the tundras and mountains and sweeping plains.

Then came Union.

And with it, a world beyond the dreams of the Clans upon Donald's Rest.

The Clans knew what came next, they were wise in their ways. They saw what Union offered. The
chance to spread their families out beyond the hard and cold Donald's Rest. The risk of the great
Corpro-States breaking down their ancient ways of living.

There was only one option for them.

It was Grimm Clan (Children of the Rails, Masters of the Old Vaults, Kings Of the Mountains) who lead
the charge. They would become the Fatherclan, adopting the other seven great Clans as Sons. So it
was, and so Grimm & Sons was born with the blessings of Union, a Corpro-State in name only.

More truly they were a Corpo-Clan; and they set to work eagerly, aiding Union in building the Blinkgate
for the Sommena System. It was there that the first of their mechs, the John Henry, was born.

They never really looked back after that.

G&S is famous in the outer rim of the Galaxy for their works building colonies and aiding fledgling
frontier worlds in the taming of their wilderness. Heavy industry and civil engineering remain their
breadwinners, praised almost universally. Their mechs however... G&S mechs have a reputation for
unstable systems, strict ammo counts, and bizarre quirks. The great Corpro-Clan is good at a great
many things, but Mech design is consistently not one of them. Despite its unprofitable nature for them,
G&S pushes forward with their licensing programs out of pure ancestral love for the art of mech
design.

MECHANICS AND FRAMES
John Henry- A former industrial mech, now a standout Heavy CQB mech that… might melt if you
don’t manage its powerful weapons properly
Volk- Often called a knockoff Blackbeard, this Big Bad Wolf is a lightning fast Brawling mech that
won’t steer you wrong…. If you can stretch its ammo and fuel long enough.
Jack- A ready, able and agile All-Rounder whose talent for giant-slaying can lead you to victory…
provided its guns and drones don’t jam when you try out those neat features.
Bunyan- An utterly massive industrial mech turned superheavy Defender, it’ll keep your team safe! ...if
it can haul its giant butt over there fast enough...
Dorothy- A solidly built search and rescue mech repurposed into a Combat Support mech... who is
surprisingly stable, all told. A rarity in G&S.
Magarac- A walking Fortress-Factory who can defend without compare and turn back death itself...
if you can manage its limited armament and speed that is.
Orlando- This Knight In Shining Armor is a premier Linebreaker crashing its way through any and
every enemy that dares to stand before it… If it doesn’t charge off a cliff.
Anansi- This Control Sniper has a story to tell. He has a thousand thousand stories to tell... if you can
utilize the wisdom of Br'er Spider correctly.
Max- A memory of our flight from Cradle, from the Fall and the Little War and all the horrors mankind
knew in those dark days. Max will make you a Brawler and a killer, things we shouldn’t need anymore.
Scheherazade- Both new and old, the Scheherazade uses its strange technology to shuffle the
battlefield into her perfect story…. If you can master her mysteries, no one will match your Battlefield
Control

Grimm & Sons Core Bonuses

You know, a lot can be said for Passion. We’ve got plenty of it, we make sure it's in every design. That
love for what you’re making... you can feel it can’tcha? But that’s the trouble... There are some...
Design Issues that can’t be solved with Passion alone. So we made these, gifts for folks who’ve been
good customers, to help keep them good customers. To make sure that they get home safe and sound
when the day is done.

Koschei-Class Secondary Mobility Modification

● A reflex module and series of emergency limbs installed into your mech. The reflex module is a
mech-scale “muscle memory” program that helps keep the mech on its feet when put under
intense stress and the emergency limbs are there in case anything important gets shot off and
you need to stay mobile.
○ Your mech is Immune to the Slowed condition from sources other than yourself and
may stand from prone for 1/2 of your movement allowance rather than the full move.

Lilliputian Modifications
● So, the boys in the Mountain figured out a way to safely miniaturize the printing specs for most
standard type frames, the usage of GMS universal parts makes it easy to do! But it takes the
genius of the Grimm Clan to find a way to keep the reactor output stable when miniaturized.
 There’s waivers and stuff involved when you use the mods, but that’s just what Vedevois said
we had to do or the DoJ’d come knocking
○ You may reduce mech's size by 1, to a minimum of 1/2. A size 1/2 mech that takes this
modification may fit through most doors. Additionally all actions against you taken as a
Reaction are at +1 difficulty.

A Family’s Pride
● One hand grips the gun, one finger pulls the trigger. But a thousand hands forged the gun. And
ten thousand hands mined the ore and made the bullets. Can you say you're greater than all
that? Of course not. You're another set of hands. Another part of the whole. Together we're
strong. So stand tall with this. A blessing from our Family to you. To make sure you get back to
your family.
○ If you would make an attack, save or skill check with net +1 difficulty, instead make the
roll with no accuracy or difficulty.

"Balm of Gilead" Nanoslurry Tanks

● Upgrading the spare parts and universal repair systems inherent to mechs and enhancing them
with the addition of our proprietary nanoslurry will make sure you don’t die! And really, isn’t that
just the best? We use the same kinda stuff in Dorothy’s nanotanks and it comes with a
manna-back-guarantee if it doesn’t save your skin at least once a deployment.
○ When you spend Repair to heal, or are healed by another player spending repair to do
so; you gain 2+GRIT Overshield.

“Angel’s Gift” Flash Printer

● Sometimes, you’re just tapped. Not enough RawMat for a real ammo-print or mine deployment.
And your friends, can’t be stealing bullets and grenades from them, that’s just a good way to
get shot. So whaddya do? You pull out this lil blessing. It’ll keep your tanks full as it can, but
its... well the Anlamanni boys don’t recommend using it on extended deployments or if you
gotta, only at the very end. S’not the most reliable stuff you get, printing off a raw coldcore
hookup. But it prints, Terra does it print.
○ You may attempt to use Limited Systems and Weapons if they are out of charges, if you
do so, roll 1d6. On a 4+ they work as though you had spent a charge to activate them.
On any other result, the system or weapon is automatically destroyed as whatever
cheapass ammo you shoved into it cooks off or a spare part goes flying and detonates
the whole thing.

New Tags

● Unreliable (X)
○ When you attack with this weapon, roll 1d6. On a 4+ the attack gains +X Difficulty, and
deals +2 Bonus Damage per Difficulty on hit.
● Exceed (X)
○ (Borrowed with permission from Creator Unreal’s QTA)
 ○ A weapon or system with Exceed can gain X heat when you make an attack or activate
the system to gain the listed effect.
● Slide
○ Any movement made by a system or action with Slide does not trigger Reactions and
ignores engagement
● Emplacement
○ Weapons with this tag can only be fired when Set Up. You may set this weapon as a
Size 1 object up in your space, an empty adjacent space, or an adjacent space
occupied by an ally as a quick action and it may only fire by any character sharing a
space with it. The weapon can then be packed up with another quick action while
adjacent to it.
● Nanite Coated (X)
○ When an enemy is hit with a weapon with Nanite Coated (X), they become coated with
nanites. The next melee or ranged attack that hits a target suffering this Condition
grants the attacker 1d6+X Overshield and ends this Condition. Nanite Coating does not
stack, instead the highest X value is applied.
 G&S-JOHN HENRY
Striker
Formerly an Industrial Mech meant for work both in Colony-building and in the maintenance of Solar
Rails, the G&S John Henry is a legacy suite of tools and weapons meant for the dangerous work of
building beyond the comfort of atmosphere. When the original Contract with Union that gave birth to
the John Henry was up; G&S were rich enough to play on the galactic field, but out of a job. So what
did they do? They repackaged John Henry for military licensing, spinning a successful industrial mech
into a battlemech and creating the rough and tumble legacy of Grimm & Sons. Without the John Henry,
G&S would not exist.

RAIL-DRIVER
Born with a twenty ton hammer right in its hand, the G&S John Henry was designed to fulfill a
UNION contract for the construction of Blinkgates and Solar Rails. With the massive mechs birth
came the G&S Rail-Driver: An adamant compound hammer capable of the kind of work required on
those massive projects. When the John Henry was repackaged for military use, the hammer was not
removed. To do so, it was said, would kill the soul that made the mech.

Integrated Mount: Gain the G&S Rail-Driver, the hammer that won the western arm. It takes its own
special mount that cannot be modified, nor can the weapon be removed.

The Rail-Driver gains the following weapon profile, replacing the original for the rest of the Scene:

Rail-Driver, Overclocked
Heavy Melee (Hammer)
Heat 4 (Self)
Threat 1
2d6+6 Kinetic
On Hit: Place a Blast 1 with at least one space adjacent to you, all characters in this blast must
make a Hull save or be Immobilized until the end of your next turn and knocked prone. The original
target makes this save at +1 Difficulty, even if they are not in the Blast. All objects in the blast take
30 AP kinetic damage from the shockwaves of your mighty hammer.

Molten Driver
An iconic piece of equipment for those used to work on Solar Rails, this frankly massive railgun is used
mostly for anchoring void-resistant plating to the outside of space stations and is capable of
superheating the rails it fires to help with penetration of those heavy materials. The military version
forgoes the traditional luna titanium spikes for spikes made almost entirely of Adamant Compounds.

Heavy Cannon
Line 5
Unreliable (1), Exceed
1d6+3 Kinetic Damage
Exceed (2): Weapon gains +1d6 Energy Damage

Magnet Harness
Designed using both conventional magnetics and the Union approved Hypermagnetic Systems, this
large, bulky system of rotating metal bands help create a small magnetic field that allows an equipped
mech to move through the dangerous terrain of 0G. And move up walls when down the gravity well,
albeit very much… worse.

1 SP
System, Unique
A mech equipped with this system treats all vertical and overhanging surfaces as flat ground for the
purposes of movement and no longer count as climbing these surfaces. However you may only move
½ speed vertically when under the effects of gravity (moving full speed vertically in 0G). In addition the
mech gives +1 Difficulty to being knocked Prone by enemy attacks while this system is installed.

“Giant” Class Myomar Musculature

Myomar Musculature is standard in a hell of a lot of mechs, but the “Giant” class of Musculature are
famous for their ability to wrench ton after ton of material straight out of the ground and set it down
with the gentleness of a kitten. Or hurl the whole lot at some poor fool. Outside of the gravity well, he
can probably catch and stop it if he’s equipped with “Giant” as well but otherwise….

Quick Action
A mech with this modification may hurl terrain smaller than itself or destroyed enemies of any size in
adjacent squares as an improvised weapon by selecting a target within 10 Squares to take an Agility
Save; taking damage by the Size of the hurled weapon or half as much on a successful save. This
ability cannot be used on enemies with the “Strength in numbers” rule. If attempting to throw an
enemy or object of Size 3 or above, take additional heat for each size category above 2.
½: 1d3 Kinetic
1: 1d6 Kinetic
2: 2d6 Kinetic
3: 3d6 Kinetic +1 Heat (Self)
4: 4d6 Kinetic +2 Heat (Self)

Magneton Crusher
A modification of the Magnet Harness (a really simple but potentially explosive modification) allows for
a localized “big crush” effect, sending mech scaled enemies to their knees as their mechs suddenly
struggle with a sudden crushing weight on important systems.
2 SP
Unique
You may make a Ram action with a range of 5 squares. If successful, you do not move, but the
targeted enemy still suffers the effects of the ram.

“Big Bend” Class Pilebunker

Traditionally mech-scale pilebunkers pull back the pistons in a prompt manner, allowing a rapid use of
the full force of the blows. The Big Bend however, is based on much older designs (including the
rumoured and feared “Judgement” ) and requires at least a dozen seconds to fully prime for firing. But
when it does fire, hoo boy.

Superheavy Melee

Workman’s Pride
Inside the mech sits a man, and the man who uses the John Henry on a Solar Rail with a dozen others
knows that this kind of work can only be done by skilled humans. No Drone or AI program can ever
truly replace the swing of the hammer and the heat of the reactor. This song is the final gift of Master
Grimm LV, a man born a steel-driver.

3 SP

Protocol
As a free action at the start of your turn, select an adjacent enemy. That enemy receives a “Worksong
Mark”. As long as the mark persists, the first melee attack made against the target each turn gains +1
Accuracy.
 G&S-VOLK
Striker
The Volk is perhaps most well known for its use in the frontier, where G&S market it as the ultimate in
cheap and effective colony defense. Originally modified from lumber-mech designs, the Volk’s been...
tweaked... over the years by the enthusiastic Grimm engineers to the point where it bares little
resemblance to WOODSMAN class logger-mechs that are its direct predecessors. Now it resembles
nothing so much as a hot-rod engine that powers chainsaws, dead sprinting into gangs of pirates and
tearing them apart. Speed, force, and rending teeth are the traits Volk uses in the prosecution of its
duties. Some people call it a ripoff of the Blackbeard. Maybe. Maybe. That lawsuit didn’t prove
anything for anyone and was just really a waste of time. What matters is that our customers appreciate
the finer things in life. Like not breaking the bank on colony defense or hyperfauna hunting... and some
days...

Some days the pirates say “My, what big saws you’ve got...” and you just have to answer

“All the better to rip n tear, my dear”

Fenrir Shredders

Original the “Chainhands” of the Woodsman-class lumber mech, the Fenrir Shredders have been as
overtuned and modified as the rest of the Volk- turning a simple utility into a deadly beast. With
Adamant compound teeth and direct power-lines to the Volk’s coldcore, the Shredders would be
deadly enough. What makes them truly terrible is the blistering speed at which a properly acclimated
pilot can swing a seemingly empty hand and tear the head off an unsuspecting victim. In
closer-than-close quarters, no one is more deadly than a Volk with saws revved to full speed.

Passive: 1/Round, when the Volk hits a character with a melee attack, it can deal 3 AP Kinetic
Damage to another character in Range 3

Active (requires 1 Core Power): Screaming Saws

Protocol
Until the end of the scene, when you activate Fenrir Shredders, you may hit as many targets within 3
Spaces as you please. Any targets struck with the Fenrir Shredders may not make Overwatch
attacks against you

Utility Saws
You know you can just strap chainsaws to a mech? I love bein an engineer. The difference between a
combat saw and a utility one is just the speed at which you can deploy ‘em? Anyway, you can just get
a bunch of hullbreaker saws on a mech, so anything unlucky enough to stand still near you is gonna be
in a world of hurt.
2SP, Unique
When you successfully initiate a grapple you may deal 2 Kinetic Damage to the grappled target.
Additionally you may use a Quick Action to rev up your saws and deal 10 AP Kinetic Damage to
adjacent objects or terrain

“Bushwhacker” Module
You know, you put hooks on your weapons, you can just. Grab a dude and slam him around. It hurts
more than their mech, pilot, hurts their pride! And then you can kick ‘em while they’re down! They
probably deserve it for not buyin a G&S mech!
2SP, Unique, Mod
Pick a Melee weapon, when you hit a target with it, you may spend a Quick Action to swap places with
them and knock the target Prone.

Burst Coat
A specialized layer of Adamant Compound worked just beneath the armor of a mech allows for the
release of simple interference* when primed with a strong electrical charge. We guarantee the Burst
Coat will break locks and keep you safe when the enemy begins to fire on you!
*the appearance of the Adamant Compount interference is not “weird lightning” and Grimm & Sons is legally not responsible for what happens if you dump too
much juice into the Burst Coat, Adamant Compounts are a trademarked metamaterial utilized in many advanced systems created by Grimm & Sons.

Shot-Spear
A hunting spear with underslung shotgun, originally designed to be used at human-scale for boar
hunting. You ever go hunting boars, pilot? Nasty critters. Don’t know when to die. That’s why we put a
shotgun in the spear, so you could shoot the boar afore it pushed down the spear and et your damn
face. What was I talkin about? Oh yeah! We made it big enough for a mech, so give it a try!
Main Melee

Threat 2
1d6+4 Kinetic Damage
You may continue to use with this weapon without reloading it, dealing 1d6 kinetic damage on hit.

“Boarkiller” Reflex Module

A Reflex Module is made by lettin a C/C watch someone do something for about a thousand hours,
creating a perfect recording of their movement, then extrapolating it into a “Muscle Memory Record”
someone with the right kinda headware can install. You can make ‘em for mechs too, but it takes
awhile for the recording to “kick in”, so be smart about it pilot.
2 SP, Unique, Shield
Quick Action
This system charges as Quick Action, while charged when you are hit by a melee attack you may
expend the charge to force the attacker to suffer Knockback 2 and make a Hull save or be knocked
Prone. Charges last until the next time your mech takes damage or the end of the scene, whichever
occurs first.

Askr Hypersaw
Combat chainsaws have ever been the obsession of all good mech technicians. We at G&S like to think
that between the Fenrir Shredders and the Askr, that we have the finest chainsaws on the market for
both combat and utility purposes. The Askr, especially, hits like a truck, chewing up armor and myomar
like nobody’s business! Our advice, swing for the legs, bring ‘em down like a tree!
Main Melee
Threat 1
1d6+2 Kinetic Melee
On Crit: The target must make a Hull save or become Shredded until the end of their next turn and
knocked Prone, only becoming Prone on a successful save.
 G&S-BUNYAN
Defender

This big lug used to be an industrimech, meant for hauling materials, setting up arcologies, that kinda
stuff. The drone too, it was just for keeping workers safe in case the building came down. Sure you can
have a C/C do the job, subalterns, but that’s not right. Men need work to stay sane, and you know?
Sometimes, bigger is better. We don’t mean to be crass! It’s just a fact sometimes. When you need a
point held, when you need people kept safe, when the chips are down and everyone needs a second
to catch their breath... that’s where Bunyan shines. The biggest mech on offer from we here at G&S.
That’s Bunyan. The last bastion, the one who wades through the thick of it, axe in hand and BABE
Drone at his side. C’mon pilot, step up to the plate and see if you can’t make a tale to be astounded by!

Ballistic/Advanced Barrier Enhancement Drone

The Ballistic/Advanced Barrier Enhancement (BABE) Drone is some of the fanciest tech G&S has
ever managed to get off the ground without it going up in flames on them. The frankly massive and
clunky drone manages to output powerful shield to defend its core Frame from incoming
kinetic/ballistic fire, but most pilots see fit to use it to help their friends. G&S knows its customer
base well, and the full production line of Bunyan includes a built-in BABE drone, capable of being
supercharged with a dump from the coldcore. The tell-tale blue is your friend, pilot, trust in BABE
and he’ll bring your lance home.

Passive: As a reaction to an incoming attack, 1/round you may give yourself or an ally within your
sensor range resistance to kinetic damage until the start of their turn

Active (requires 1 Core Power): Big Blue Friend

Quick Action
You place your BABE Drone in an unoccupied space within your sensor range, it generates a Burst 3
shield that is bubble-shaped. Any attempts to enter or exit the shield through movement of any sort
must roll 1d6, on a 4+ the movement fails and the moving character takes 3 Kinetic Damage that
cannot be reduced. Any attack (tech, melee, ranged) that crosses the barrier must roll a d6, on a 4+
the attack fails. You may reposition the drone with a Quick Action on your turn.

Jet Axe
Would you believe me if I told you this was supposed to be for lumber? Yeah with the jet engine and
everything. They get some bigass trees out in the frontier, so we figured, make the axe faster! S’just
physics, right? Well, ends up, its actually pretty good for baseball swinging fools the hell out of your
buddy’s face when you really open up the jets and let the heat through your frame. What do you mean
you don’t know what baseball is.

Heavy Melee
Overkill, Knockback X

3d3+3 Kinetic
The knockback of this weapon is equal to the amount of times Overkill is triggered while rolling
damage.

Short Life Shielder

We made a simple lil drone, it latches onto your friends as part of benefic code delivery that most
mechs can broadcast to allies. When it latches on, it deploys a nice lil barrier! Either keeps your buddy
where he is, or you can burn out the drone and shield for a nice big pop! It's sort of a sonic boom?
Anyway, atmospheres don’t like it when you detonate warp-fields in them and it keeps assholes off
your buddy’s back, that’s what’s important here.

2SP
Unique
When you Bolster an ally, you may pick one of the two effects listed below in addition to the normal
effects of Bolster
Shield Pop: All actors adjacent to your bolstered target are knocked back 1 space away from your
target
Shield Brace: Until the start of their next turn, the Bolstered target reduces all involuntary movement
by 1 to a minimum of 0

“Pontchartrain” Entrenchment Tool

Sometimes, you just need a fuckoff big shovel. So that’s what we made! And then we put some of the
smaller terraforming tools we use for KINGDOM Colonies into it! Now you’ve got a lil hand terraformer!
It turns regular ground into a dangerous line that the enemy will think twice about crossing!

2 SP
Quick Action
Draw a Line 4 of Difficult Terrain adjacent to your mech. If any of the spaces of the line intersect with
Difficult Terrain already present on the map, it upgrades to Dangerous Terrain (Kinetic).

Ox-Class Musculature Reinforcement

“Strong as an Ox!” That’s what they say about people, but what about mechs? Well we decided that
reinforcing the myomar musculature should get you enough lifting and hauling power to either build a
city or tear it down, seemed easy enough to sell at least.

2 SP
Full Action
You may seize and tear a size 1 object, piece of hard cover, or part of an obstacle and hurl it as an
improvised weapon using your GRIT for the attack roll at an enemy within 10 spaces and Line of Sight,
targeting their Evasion. If you strike a foe with the torn-up terrain, deal 2d6 Kinetic Damage and place
a size 1 piece of Hard Cover next to them. You may also just hurl hunks of terrain into empty spaces,
where they act as Hard Cover to adjacent spaces.

Flash-Ammo Mortar
Yaknow, you can make some pretty cool ammo out of nanoslurry and spare parts! It's true, which is
how the Flash-Ammo Mortar fires. Weight restrictions on what our printers could handle means you
sorta have to shoot spare parts out of it, but, it hits like a damn truck. Hell! It hits like a whole damn

There’s this story, from the Vaults, (from the Homeland, from Cradle) about a giant of a man who with

destroyed or the scene ends.
 G&S-JACK
Striker/Support
Built to compliment the Volk, the Grimm & Sons Jack is a solidly built line-mech meant for use on
frontier worlds. Boasted that it “Never needs a reload” and “Keeps on going when the going gets
tough” the Jack none-the-less suffers from heat problems and problems keeping its signature plasma
weapons working when it runs out of cooling racks. Its expertise, however, truly lays in fighting things
bigger than itself and supplying others with the means to survive encounters with the kind of frankly
stupid huge things one can run into on the frontier. Everyone underestimates the little guy, but Jack
has a habit of giant-slaying..

“Beanstalk” Climbing Gear

Built out of climbing gear for use on mountainous frontier worlds and proved the Mediterranean

“Beanstalk” climbing gear normally just helps the Jack handle rough terrain. But you know... if we
hook it up into your COLDORE, we can probably like, supercharge the magnetics and get you a
good enough grip to actually get up on another mech.

Active (requires 1 Core Power): Scaling the Beanstalk

Gain the following Quick action for the rest of the Scene:
The Jack may attempt to Jockey a mech larger than itself that is adjacent with an Agi VS Hull test. If
successful the Jack moves into the opposing mech's square and moves when they do. You gain
Hard Cover against ranged attacks and the enemy mech can attempt to shake you off with another
Agi (Jack) VS Hull (opponent) as a free action on its turn. The mounted mech may attempt to attack
the Jack while it Jockeys, but suffers +1 Difficulty when doing so.

You also gain the following actions on your turn (using one after you jump on if you have the actions
to do so)
Sabotage- Inflict either Immobilized or Jammed on the jockeyed mech until the end of their next

Plasma Pistol
Pitched as the ultimate side-arm, the G&S Plasma Pistol is touted as having 0 reloads and superior
damage to other energy weapons: drawing hydrogen out of the air to create its solar-hot projectiles,
the pistol does have a flaw. To get that extra power, the whole damn pistol starts to overheat like the
small suns it fires, damaging the internals. This is likely to either destroy the pistol outright or futz with
the cooling racks enough that they’ll have to be field-swapped which is damn hard to do in the middle
of a fight.

Aux CQB
Range 5, Threat 3
1d3 Energy damage
As a Limited (3) Attack, you may “Supercharge” this weapon, gaining the AP and Unreliable 1 Tags.
When you are out of Limited charges, you may still attack with the base profile and a high Engineering
score will add more Limited charges as normal.

“Be Nimble!” Reflex Module

A sort of “recorded muscle memory” that is installed into a mech, allowing for incredible feats of...
mostly shooting right back at anyone dumb enough to open fire on you. An odd little quirk of the Reflex
Module is that many pilots report a better subjectivity sync with their Jack; something G&S marks up to
the comforting feeling of muscle memory. Even if the muscle is myomar.

Quickdraw
When an enemy attack misses you, you may immediately fire with a single Aux weapon at the
triggering actor. If you hit with this attack, in addition to normal damage, they suffer Knockback 2

Plasma Repeater
Really just an upscaled version of the plasma pistol, the Plasma Repeater suffers from many of the
same problems of its smaller sibling, often getting so hot that the internals start to melt from the stress
of firing. But! You can flip cock it to cycle cooling racks. And isn’t that all worth it?

Pumpkin Markerlights
A system of integrated launchers fire a sort of ‘sticky’ chaff that both clings to targets and, through
simple chemical reactions with the heat produced by mechs, releases a glow that makes shooting
them all the easier. It's actually named for the bright orange color of the sticky chaff, something many
pilots have called “festive”.

2 SP

Select a target within line-of-sight and sensor range. This target cannot benefit from Soft cover (such
as smoke) or Invisibility. This effect lasts until the start of your next turn, after which the chaff loses
stick and falls off.

“Golden Goose” Drone Nexus

Is the “Golden Goose” drone based on nigh ancient resupply drones? Maybe. But it's one of the
newest pieces of tech put into the Jack. The drone actually uses a nanoslurry to create a cloud of
nanobots that slowly (but effectively) heal both the Jack and anything sharing its Tacnet. But that’s not
all! The Golden Goose can ‘burn’ itself, injecting its full payload of nanoslurry into a mech for major
repairs! But wait! Dear customer there’s one more little function baked into the thing: “Savior
Protocols”! A simple modification to the drone’s damage calculators allow it to tell when an attack may
do unacceptable harm to its charges and the drone is happy enough to sacrifice itself for the good of
the unit.

3 SP
Drone (Size 1/2, 5HP, 10Edef, 10Eva), Limited (2), Deployable
As a quick action you can set this drone down in any adjacent space. After your turn ends, the drone
primes and activates. All allied mechs within Burst 3 of the drone are healed 2 hit points per round.
Any ally within the burst may, as a reaction to receiving a critical hit or losing a point of structure, allow
the drone to be destroyed instead of taking the damage themself, this destroys the drone. Alternatively
any ally may, as a Quick action, supercharge the drone and giving all allied mechs within Burst 3
1d6+3 hit points, destroying the drone. The drone can be shot and destroyed if a single attack beats
its Evasion 12 and does benefit from cover.

“Golden Harp” Memetic Chaff

Fun fact, this piece of tech is actually reverse-engineered experiment from the much newer
Scheherazade’s data-vaults and worked into the aging Jack license in an attempt to enliven the brand.
So far, it’s worked! Pilots report enhanced survivability and utility, and only a few half-melted Jacks. So
really, all the kinks are worked out of it and the “Golden Harp” is going into full production in the
upcoming quarter.

3 SP
Unique, Protocol
Heat 2 (Self)
When this system is activated, create a Burst 2 centered on your mech; this burst moves with your
mech as an “Aura” when you move. This cloud provides Hard cover to yourself and all allied mechs
within the burst. Enemy mechs within the Burst do not benefit from this cover. This “Aura” lasts until
the end of your next turn.
 G&S-DOROTHY
Support
Dorothy was designed for something other than the battlefield, like her brothers and sisters in the G&S
line up. She was built for search and rescue operations, to move into and through destruction and
flames and get humans to safety, utilizing a simple nanite-driven suppression foam as the signature
system. Of course, the Grimm clan can’t help themselves, taking a tool built by their relatives in Clan
Zahedi and turning it into a combat support mech. With just slight modifications its nanite suppression
foam becomes ravenous stripper-swarms that work to peel armor off enemy mechs. When the armor is
finally peeled off, the swarms bring it to a friendly to help patch them up! Its efficient don’tcha know!

Sprayer Gun
A simple, no nonsense shotgun, loaded with mech scale shells. But what’s more important is what’s in

Support

Imagine it, won't you? We just take one of the orbital forges... and we put legs on it. We make it make
things. The smiths and engineers all subalterns networked under a Mother Goose clone and Pilot
working in tandem. A fortress. A factory. It'll turn back death. It'll do everything we need to make our
Promise. No more working into the grave. Just this. A magnum opus.

Magarac
-Charity Zahedi, Lead Developer of the MAGARAC Production Project

Born from the promise of Grimm & Sons and the work of the Zahedi Clan, MAGARAC is a promise
made flesh in steel and fire. An orbital print-forge on legs, capable of creating entire towns in a matter
of hours, of putting together mechs in a matter of minutes, of making everything that needs to be
made. Within its titanic bulk is a veritable army of drones and subalterns, networked to the Pilot
through a series of complex command/control structures. The MAGARAC is in full production, despite
being a new design, sent out to the borderlands and frontiers of the galaxy where G&S sees the need
for their Promise- “Working for the Promised Land.”

Look, behold, it's almost ready. It is everything we’ve worked for over the centuries. With this, we

make a miracle.

We’ve waited so long for this day, someone to take the death away. We’re doing it, by our own
hands. No one else will. We’ll make sure of it. No one has to die, not today, not ever again.

I promise.

-Charity Zahedi

Passive: As a full action you may spend 4 repairs and return an adjacent, destroyed ally to 1

Protocol
For the rest of the scene, 1/round when an ally within your sensor range would Lose Structure or
become Destroyed, you may as a reaction roll 1d6. On a 3+ their HP is set to 1 and they do not lose
the Structure or become Destroyed. If an ally is adjacent to you, this effect happens automatically

Additionally you may use this system to let an allied mech move down a sheer surface 8 Spaces with a
single move action, so long as their movement starts adjacent to your mech. Doing this does not inflict
Heat (Self).

Rapid-Print Cannons
If you replace the entire weapon mount with a weapons-grade printer, you can make some fine guns.
They don’t have many shots and literally decay into semi-useful matter-goo after a couple of hours, but
you can make them cheap and you can give them to people who need them. People who want to fight

2 SP, Unique
Quick Action, 1/round
You may spend a repair to give an adjacent ally a temporary point of Armor that lasts until the end of

Emergency Nanolaminating Systems

Nanolaminating is a process by which one reinforces the armor plating of a mech or other heavily
armored vehicle by applying specialized nanite-infested paints. The nanites use the paint as a medium
to create hardening polymers that reinforce existing armor and semi-repair gaps. This system uses a
simple fact: paint is liquid so you can probably just shoot it out of a big high-pressure hose and
everything’ll be fine.

TALL_TALE Class NHP

Derived from clones of Grimm & Sons’ colonial NHP line, Mother Goose, and trained for field support,
the TALL_TALE Class NHP is often described as ‘faceless’ or ‘reactive’. Indeed, all the troublesome

assist the pilot in whatever needs doing, bending the massive power of a mech reactor and ammo
printers to this end.

gain 1d6+4 Overshield, and the terrain becomes Difficult as drones fall from the sky and
nanites harden.
 G&S-ORLANDO
Striker
The Absolute Newest, the very Pinnacle of G&S Design, the Orlando is built to do one thing, and one
thing alone. To lead the charge. Given only to Pilots with strong ties to the Grimm clan (or with the cash
and prestige to get into such inner circles), the Orlando will be ready for full production within the
standard year… If the tests keep going as well as they’re going at least. Lotta melted engines in this
one. G&S promises that the full production run DEFINITELY won’t do the thing the prototypes
sometimes do, which is get stuck in full gear and careen through a couple of buildings and off a cliff.
Good news is the prototypes were going fast enough to activate the Curtana Active Shield! Bad news
is they were going fast enough to give the test pilots whiplash of the everything.

CURTANA Shield Systems

A sort of warp-shield not unlike that found on the HA Saladin, the CURTANA was designed to be
used by small spaceships to combat the dangers of atmospheric reentry. That it is now strapped into
the Orlando, it has the problem that Orlando’s engines only generate enough power to activate a
weak barrier while under high speeds. If one was to say, dump the full might of a Coldcore engine
into the engines and the linked Curtana system however... One could create a massive ‘lance’ of
force directed dead ahead! It probably won’t melt the reactor, and it’ll show the galaxy what it means
to truly be the tip of the spear.

Active (requires 1 Core Power): Holy Kingdom Charge

Full Action
When you use this action, your mech begins to rev its engines up to speed. Until the start of your
next turn, you are Immobilized. If you Overheat or lose a point of Structure, you stop revving and
are refunded your Core Power. At the start of your next turn, repeat this full action then draw a Line
20 that is 3 spaces wide from your mech’s position, then place your mech adjacent to the end of this
line. All actors caught in this area must make an Agility save at +1 Difficulty or be knocked to the
outer edge of the Line, knocked Prone, and suffer 6d6 AP Kinetic Damage. A successful save halves
the damage and pushes them to the outer edge of the line. Any obstacles or terrain in the Line are
assumed to be smashed through at frankly reckless speeds.
“Joyeuse” Beam Saber
A badly contained blade of plasma that so many pilots refused to update that G&S made the poor
containment a feature. A simple flick of a switch in the cockpit creates a timer on the blade, swing it

Roncevaux Overboosters
You know what makes you faster? More boosters. This heavy system of extra fuel, boosters, and
engine-hookups allows a Mech performing a Ram to do so much more than just slam into an enemy.
It's really more of a shoulder tackle at this point, both mechs being rocketed in whatever direction
Orlando choses.

2 SP, Unique
1 Heat (Self)
When your mech Boosts, if it moves in a straight line, may make a Ram attack as a free action against
an adjacent target at the end of its movement.

Ascalon Engines
An engine overhaul, a Minovsky reactor, and rebuilt actuators make up this system, creating a mech
capable of frankly insane speed. If your engine doesn’t melt out of your mech, no one will be able to
escape your reach.

2 SP, Unique
X Heat (Self)
You may activate this system as a free action whenever you move or boost. Increase your speed by up
to 6 for this movement, gaining heat equal to the speed increase. During this movement, you must
move in a straight line. Additionally, if this heat would cause your mech to mark Reactor Stress, you
may complete your turn before rolling on the Overheating table.

Paladin Armor
Not all that different from most reactive armors, except that the explosive load is about triple the
normal. This is good, as it feeds into the Orlando’s ability to charge in and break open enemy lines by
buffeting any foolish to strike it. This is bad, because most mechs can’t carry the extra weight of all the
explosives required for the armor AND the explosion can’t really be controlled enough to not damage
the mech using the armor.

Holy Armor Burst- When hit by an attack, you may create a Burst 2 centered on your mech. All units
within this Burst take 2 Explosive damage and are pushed to the outer edge of the burst. You are
excluded from the push, but not the damage, which you cannot reduce in any way.

“Astolfo” Reactive Lance

Ah, the Lance, most ancient of mounted fighting weapons. Why not stuff the bastard with explosives
and see just how fast you can ram it through any fool who stands against you? After all, Pre-Fall stories
tell of a knight with a magical lance that could unhorse any it touched. We at G&S think our reactive
lance is up to the task.

against the same target. This attack automatically hits but deals half damage.

“The Belt of Roland” Supercharger

A system of power cords and energy feeds designed to create more devastating blows, the Belt of
Roland unfortunately shares a usual problem of G&S technology. It’s finicky about what you can hook it
into, and once its hooked in, it’ll stress your mech’s reactor out... careful with it, okay?

semi-advanced “Br’er Spider” Comp/Con created by Clan Vediovis. It does what it needs to, helping
the pilot sit at the center of a perfect defensive web. Reports of self-enlightening “Br’er Spider” Units
are highly exaggerated, perhaps mistaking the advanced programming for true thought. Though the
unit does come pre-installed with a collection of fables meant to help educate less experienced pilots
and help gently bring them up to the Combat Standards of Clan Rockatansky, the family most
responsible for G&S’s more recent “Real Warrior” design school and marketing philosophy. Despite
any rumoured setbacks, the ANANSI is set for full production along with the Orlando, slowly filtering

Br’er Spider is always watching from his web, a supposedly sub-sentient Companion-Combat unit

there are strange little quirks to Brother Spider that have many a pilot singing his praises.. Most
notably his ability assist pilots in setting up “Spiderwebs”, zones of covering fire monitored by Br’er
spider while the pilot focuses on more active shotcalling and target-selection. Autonomously, Br’er
Spider can grab control of weapons and put bullets where they need to be to lock down zones of

Additionally, targets in your Spiderweb cannot benefit from Hidden or Invisibility.

Silencer
What was that noise? People always ask that. Mostly because a silencer isn’t actually silent, especially
a mech-scaled one. On the other hand, frame audio radars are tuned to pick up on very loud sounds,
so a sound that’s only kinda loud just doesn’t show up! It helps you stay out of the spotlight, though if
you go popping heads, ballistic tracing will still tell where your mech is.

Octocamo is the bog-standard in human-scale stealth-tech, a smart fabric that mimics the property of
Old Cradle monsters called “Octos'' that could change their color, texture, and pattern to blend into
their environment. We at G&S believe that if it was good enough for grandad, its good enough for you-
and so we present a mech-frame scaled ghillie cloak made from octocamo. Capable of all the

Tripwire (Mine, Burst 1): When this Mine arms at the end of your turn, it creates a Line 5 in a direction
of your choice. The first character who moves through this Line triggers the Mine: they create a Burst
1, then all characters in the area take 1d6+2 Explosive damage (Agility save for half).
Holoterrain (Grenade, Range 5, Blast 1): All actors in the Blast must make a Systems save or
become Impaired and Slowed, only becoming Impaired on a successful save. The Blast lingers as a
piece of Soft Cover until the end of the scene.

Radar Shot
Ping! What an awful noise for somebody to hear when they’re trying to go unnoticed, right? Our
patented (trademark pending) Radar Shot will drive those sneaky bastards crazy! It uses the impact of a
bullet... or rocket... or laser... to create a soundwave your mech can pick up on, essentially
echolocating those who don’t want to be found

2SP, Mod, Limited (3)

Choose a Ranged weapon. When you attack with this weapon, you can expend a charge: All hostile
characters within Burst 2 of the target must make a System save or they may not benefit from Hidden
and Invisibility until the end of their next turn.

Gumdoll-Class Holocaster
Holocasters are old tech, but you know, people still fall for the oldest trick. Especially when snipers are
dueling. Catching just the sight of an enemy, a little bit of heat-signature, that can be enough to pull
the trigger... and blow away a hologram, revealing a sniper’s position. Anansi has lots of tricks, and
tricking a sniper into showing his hand is one of our favorites (especially with how cheap to make the
holocasters are!)

Hyperfauna are endemic to the frontier, worlds with more oxygen and bigger beasties still need to be
tamed. Everybody’s heard of Vast, Daikaiju, and every other name these biological weapons go by! The
AHR is a low-weight, ultra-high caliber, modular rifle designed for mechs braving the dangerous
frontier. The modular bit is the important part, the AHR comes with parts for two modes- the speed
loading LEOPARD and the precision bolt-action SKYGOD. Pick the right one for the job and drop a few
monsters for me, eh?

This is a story of the Fall.

This is a story of a man who lost everything to that most dreadful of our sins. His family. His community.
His name. His world. It all burned. It all turned to dust. All that was left to him was this- to wander the
wastes and seek a worthy cause to die for.

This is a story of the Little Wars.

This is the story of men and women who lost more than they could know. Who were broken by the
First and Second Traumas. Who had no family. No community. No names. No world. Nothing of their
own. It was all turned to blood. All that was left to them was this- to take up the name of another and
wander the wastes- to seek a worthy cause to die for.

This is a story of Now

You do not need this weapon, o Child of the Mountain. We tell these stories and remember them as a
dirge. This is no place for us, this is no way for a Child of Mankind to live. This should not exist, but as a
memory of our Past and our Flight.

But take it, take it if you must.

Mk8 Super Reactor

The Mark 8 Super Reactor is not a coldcore. It is an older beast, from the years of warfare on Cradle,
when man learned again of the crimes Cain committed unto Abel. It is a nuclear heart that screams
with power barely contained, a wild and untamed thing that spits great gouts of flame and billows of
black smoke into the sky. A Mark 8 can pull the kind of speeds rarely seen outside of an SSC racer or
a Nelson with full PMD suite- for a fraction of the cost of either. But the Mark 8 is a cruel thing, it
pulls the same kind of Gs as those newer machines- with a fraction of the safety.

Be careful child, or you’ll die before your task is done, the Mark 8 taking you down to Hell with
whomever you duel.

Active (requires 1 Core Power): Last of An Ancient Breed

Protocol
For the rest of the scene, when you successfully Ram a character, you apply a demolition mark to
them - at the start of their next turn, if they have 7 HP or less, only 1 structure remaining, and aren’t
immune to damage they are immediately destroyed. Demolition marks are cleared at the end of a
marked character's turn. Additionally, 1/round the Max may Ram an adjacent character as a Free
Action.

The Devil has a name, in the old stories- its name is Greed. Greed is what drove the Fall. Greed is what

Punish greed where you see it, O Child of the Mountains.

When a target triggers your Overwatch, you may use your action to Ram rather than Skirmish

Shot-Saber
A weapon from a fallen age, wrought now for hands never meant to know such sorrows. Blade and gun
in accord- chopping, slashing, shredding, belching gunsmoke and spilling blood. A symptom of lives
gone and half lived. Take it up if you must, but keep it steady, keep it loaded, keep it sharp.

When all the world goes mad, it won’t keep you safe.

Nitro Charger
There is a story that goes like this-

Once there was a Road-Warrior, he travelled through the wastes in a car black as night and fast as fear.
He was someone, once. But after the Fall no one was anyone. That much and more was lost as the
seas flooded then dried, as the Garden of Eden died in a long, awful, terminal cancer.

All that was left was this-

The Wastes, Guzzoline, Water-Wars, and Horrors.

A Coldcore can be coaxed. Can be forced. It can be made to sing and scream like the engines of those
times. Things that rode on cracked black roads and endless sands. It roars in pain and fury, but it goes.
It goes fast as fast, it rides like death. Use it wisely.

 G&S-SCHEHERAZADE
Controller
Here’s a secret. Grimm & Sons don’t know where the original designs for the mech known as the
Scheherazade come from. The original printer specs were found in an ancestral Data-Vault in a hidden
room in the Grimm Clan’s familial stronghold. It is the most technologically advanced license they offer,
free of the troubles that face other G&S cores. It is, to them, a gift from their Ancestors, a gift from the
Kings Under The Mountain that will help lead them to the Promised Land. Through the sands and
secrets they’ll build perfection, and Paradise will follow.

The family does as craftsmen do, they build more and more Scheherazades, tinkering and toying with
its pieces, trying to use the seemingly arcane technologies within to further the family fortune. Do they
have any idea what they’re toying with? Not really. But does that matter? It is a gift from their
Ancestors. [Do you yet understand Mirror-Logic?]

the Scheherazade. For each of those mines, the Scheherazade regains 1 Limited charge for the

A reliable mech-scale revolver wasn’t actually part of the original designs of the Scheherazade core,
but G&S can’t really let out a mech without at least one gun. Plus they don’t know how to build the

loathe to let the original Scheherazade data be seen by any not blood related to the Grimm clan.

I look upon the mirror and for a moment it fills my entire gaze, I am looking upon a reflective silver
wasteland. I am multitudes, all staring into the mirror. And the mirror stares back at me, and it slithers,
and I am no longer infinite. I am me. But not the same me that looked into the mirror. I am not where I
stood before. The world has moved underneath me. I was always here.

Sandstorm Charges
The Grimm hold a story in their vaults, about Homeland, about Cradle, about the Djinn who lived in the
cold red deserts of Mars. Sons of the War God who turned from War and sought a life of their own.
They became tricksters and spread mighty dust-storms to keep themselves safe. A King of Mars came
upon a Djinn’s heart and forced it to make sandstorms to protect his kingdom. We made you these for
you, think of them as artificial Djinn Hearts. They’ll keep you safe.

2 SP, Limited (3)

Expend a charge for one of the following effects:
Sandstorm Grenade (Thrown 5, Blast 1)- This blast lasts until the end of your next turn. All
characters in the blast are consumed by a whirling sandstorm, Blocking Line of Sight in, out, or
through the raging winds.
Sandstorm Mine (Mine, Deployable, Blast 2)- This mine deploys and primes at the end of your turn,
when primed it can be detonated with a Quick Action on your turn or automatically when an actor
moves adjacent to it. The Blast creates a whirling sandstorm that acts as Dangerous Terrain (Kinetic)
and Soft Cover and lasts until the mine is destroyed by any attack action hitting it (Evasion 5, HP 1).
Any checks provoked by the Dangerous Terrain are instead replaced by saves against your Save
Target.

Expend a charge for one of the following effects:
Twist Causality (Thrown 5, Blast 1)- Create an area of warped causality until the end of your next
turn. All characters within this area reverse the effects of Accuracy and Difficulty (Accuracy penalizes
rolls it applies to, while Difficulty improves those rolls). Accuracy and Difficulty still cancel each other
out as normal.
Twist Logics (Mine, Deployable, Blast 2)- This mine primes at the end of your turn. It can be
detonated with a Quick Action, and detonates automatically when any character moves adjacent to it.
Create an area of warped time within this mine's Blast that lasts until the end of your next turn. Any
character starting their turn within this area must succeed at a Systems save or attempt the same
actions they took on their previous turn. They make the same choices for those actions (such as
distance moved, or targets attacked). If, for any reason, an affected character cannot make the same
action or the same choices, such as if a target is out of range or a system with Recharge has not yet
recharged, they take all repeat actions they are capable of taking, then end their turn.
