Could a NEXT mecha from the armored core series take on an ADmech titan?

I am new to tabletop games overall, and would like to start a club at the boarding school I will be going to next year (it required high academic achievement to go into, and the orientation confirmed that it will be absolutely full of nerds). So, which game should i start with? What will I need? How much do you think it will cost? What preperation will be required? Just a general start up guide to tabletop RPG's would be really neat, as I'd love to get started! pic unrelated, of course

The old general is dead! Long live the new general!

Note that the AS Companion just came out and fixed several of its issues.

Hey /tg/, I was hoping someone could update me on the progress of the fan translation of the Log Horizen RPG? I saw the thread months ago saying it would be a bit before something really playable was released and I haven't heard/seen anything in a while.

So I was off for some time to relax on the lakeside. When I was not relaxing, I did some rules for the Knights Repentant. Tried not to make them broken, but probably there will be some stuff about it.

Here's the link:
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1fvsZebQYI1xZpjXQkGSLDN9DctUbYmJ1nMUmgXSmVqM/edit

And about who the Knights are, see:
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1fvsZebQYI1xZpjXQkGSLDN9DctUbYmJ1nMUmgXSmVqM/edit

I will be doing stuff on them from time to time, so these rules are just samples at the moment. Tell if something is wrong with them and I'll do something about it.

So what are people thinking the plot/arch of the Khans block is going be?

My theory:

1. Khans: The present. Dragons dead, warring clans, very dystopian. This is the bad future. Sarkhan returns to the plane.

2. Relics. Sarkhan finds a way to travel back in time in an attempt to change the future by making sure the dragons don't go extinct. This block either takes place in the past, or follows Sarkhan's attempt to reach it.

3. Dragons: Either takes place in the past when the dragons are all still alive with Sarkhan trying to change the future, or Sarkhan has already succeeded in changing the past in Relics and this is the new future. The return of the dragons is possibly not a good thing. All the mythic clan dragons get printed in this set inevitably.

Stat me, name the system please

Excuse me, Commissar, but why does the Imperium so rarely take advantage of chemical or nuclear weapons? I of course know of Exterminatus, but given how few alien races use closed air filter helmets (really just the Fire Caste and some Eldar), I have to imagine that they would be incredibly effective! And yet I've never heard of just a few mortars being given to units to shell enemy positions with some agent orange or something.
