Another week, another update to the system, this one is a bit less content rich but still impactful, especially with the rework to how enemies gain Nutrition. I do hope that these changes will make the game more enjoyable.
Something else that came to my attention was that, in altering significant amounts of the base game content it has felt increasingly as though I was converting Lancer into a different game to where it would be unrecognizable or too prone to forcing the fetish content onto players. As such I am currently working with community members to figure out how to approach this issue. Whatever the outcome is, I do hope it can make for a better overall experience (even if it ends up being a ârip off the band-aidâ situation)
Portly Pilot Base Draft 15:
Made applying Nutrition on enemies more viable
NPCs now only have 10 Overnutrition per size, while players still have 20
Implemented an optional rule in the âNPCs and Nutritionâ section where if an NPC goes up by Size 1 between their turns, they will be IMPAIRED until the end of their next turn as their rapid weight gain leaves them distracted.
Introduced changes to 2 Atlas systems make them work better with the homebrew
Multi-Gear Maneuver System now lets characters with a base Size of ½ but enlarged by any means (including base Frame Size increases) to use the zipline option
Jager Kunst I enables characters with a base Size of ½ but enlarged by any means (including base Frame Size increases) to be treated as 1 Size smaller for the system, down to a minimum of Size ½.
Added a few small goodies
Mass Redistributer - Market Pilot Gear
Environmental Camouflage - Brand New Kobold Trait
Rebalancing
Berry-Laced Code now forces Systems Saves instead of Systems Checks
Demeter Guided Bomb now forces an Engineering Save instead of an Engineering Check
Butter Buff Howitzer now forces an Agility Save instead of an Agility Check
Feeding Hose now Threat 2, and so long as the hit enemy remains within threat and you do not attack someone else with the feeding hose, you can keep making the Free Action against them.
Renamed âMeal Injectionâ Missiles to âMeal Injectionâ Coreworm Missiles
Shortened the lore for the Frostbite Coolant Pods
Clarified the HORUS âPrinting LL2 Framesâ roll result for 1-2 also applies to NHPs
Fixed grammatical and formatting issues
Portly Pilot Ravager Draft 6:
Added several new mech exotics
Caustic Thermal Rerouter
Ghostly Devouring
Reaper Nanocomposite Conversion
Revised digestion rules
The Nutrition, Overnutrition, and Size Increases transfers are now immediate rather than over 4 turns
Digested Biological mechs, vehicles, or other entities also give 4 Nutrition for every Size ½ increment of their Base Frame Size
Clarified that Artemis Class NHPâs âMutagenic Codeâ works within Sensors
Removed the ââ around any instances of digested (to be honest I am not sure why I even did it in the first place)
Howdy everyone, work is still being done to try addressing the âovertakingâ issues mentioned in the previous post. In the meantime, a few quality of life changes have been done along with bringing in some inflation content for those who enjoy it. I do hope that everyone enjoys these new additions and stay tuned for the adjustments coming Soon .
Portly Pilot Base Draft 15A:
Added some inflation-themed equipment
Gelatin Beam Emitter - Market Mech Weapon
Cockpit Crusher - Market Invade Package
Engorging Spray - Market Mech System
Bio-Integrative Firmament Shifter - Market Mech System
Rebalances and Reworks
âButterfingersâ Cyberwarfare Package now has Ravenously Hungry persist until the affected character passes a Systems Check as a Quick Action
Motherly Handoff drone is now deployed as a normal drone/deployable and can hover whenever it moves, compared to before that would hover 6 spaces above the ground and mimic your movement
Lard Wall 2 now triggers when you exceed your mechâs Frame Size rather than Cockpit Size
Massively reworded Lard Wall 1 to make it less of a word soup
Do you have any plans to incorporate the Field Guide of Suldan stuff with this system? I kinda wanna try a fatty trying to fit their way into a C&H Matador.
I have no plans on integrating it into other homebrews as I would prefer for it to only require the official content. That said, you are more than welcome to make Portly Pilot supplements or houserules for other homebrews like the Field Guide of Suldan or Enhanced Combat.
Hey hey people, Warlynx here. Really hoping that this ends up being the last major up date (meanwhile I said that 3-4 versions ago) since I would like to end up with something âfinishedâ that I can confidently put down and enjoy rather than constantly feeling the need to add more to it. While adding more stuff is fun on the player side, it is a headache for GMs to have to constantly adjust for all the new items and rebalances. I did do some work to handle the âovertakingâ situation along with doing some general tidying up. Regardless, I once again am hoping that you enjoy all the new changes
Portly Pilot Base Draft 16:
Introduced two new talents
Kinky Craftsman Talent, a talent focused around causing status effects to your enemies via a customized integrated weapon.
Tungsten Zeppelin Talent, a talent focused around messing around with the newly added Full Floating status to hover and inflating enemies
Removed or relocated the following:
Hacker 2 Jam Cockpit Overhaul - Removed due to unnecessary interactions
Cleansing Band - Removed (effect moved to an Augmented version of the Shedding Hardsuit)
Leech Tether - Relocated to âAdiposa Industries Market Systemsâ instead of âOptional Market Systemsâ
Mass Seeking Targeting - Relocated to âGourmand Optional Systemsâ instead of âOptional NPC Systems
Added the Full Floating status
A special version of the Stuffed/Inflated status. If the total amount of FULL FLOATING stacks meets or exceeds the pilotâs total size from their base size and other size-increasing effects, you are SLOWED but can Hover equal to your speed. If their Speed is 0, they can move as though they have a Speed of 1. This effect lasts until the end of the scene.
Changed the last option of Reserve Air Supply to grant it as intended
Calor-Colar stills lets you manually control control when you release the stored gas
Added two new alt frames
âLime Hawkâ - Deathâs Head Alt Frame

Torso Bindings - [kink optional] Market Pilot Gear

Rearranged the Title Card Banners to provide better image quality (images arenât as stretched out so they look better and you can actually see more of the image itself)
Section 3 is the exception due to how the original image was laid out
Moved Section 5âs image to the right to display a different portion of the image
Fixed grammatical and formatting issues
Portly Pilot Ravager Addon Draft 7:
Adjusted how the digestion calculation works
Used to be: Maximum HP + Overnutrition Points + Size Increases
Now is: HP lost to digestion + Overnutrition Points + Fat Size Increases
Removed or relocated the following:
Horror âAssimilation Mawâ Weapon Rework - Removed (effect moved to the Great Devouring)
Pirate âPrying Clawsâ System Rework - Removed due to unnecessary interactions
Lich Unraveler and Napoleon Displacer Reworks - Removed (effect moved and reworked to the Feasting Shell Volleygun)

Calor Colar prey trapping no longer works if you are over stomach capacity
Adjusted the âWeight in Processingâ optional rule
Added new Goodies
Great Devouring - Exotic and Horror optional trait
Howdy howdy. Just wanted to say I made a few improvements and changes to the Character Template Sheet to try improving the user experience. I donât know nearly enough about it to do anything more sophisticated but I do hope that you enjoy these changes.
Provided dropdown lists for Bond Name and Bond Power Source
Added basic reference information on the Bond/Burden/Clock System
Automated many of the numbers on the combat page and included a tab for stat increases from other modifiers (HP from Personalizations, Save Target from Lesson of the Open Door, Heat Cap from Superior by Design, etc.) along with automating some of the Portly Pilot numbers
Provided dropdown lists for the mechâs chassis mounts, weapon mount/size, weapon type, and system SP cost
Provided dropdown lists for the Portly Pilot status and instances
Greetings again, itâs time for another installment of âthis is the last major Portly Pilot update I swearâ. What initially started off as me realizing that statuses and conditions are not one and the same then led to me realizing that the concept for the Artemis Class NHP could become a full on condition much like what happened with Full Floating, then I ended up realizing I had neglected narrative content and kink-optional npc systems for the base books, and the realizations kept going on and on until I ended up with a lot more changes than I expected. While I do still have some stuff in the works, I am trying to wind down in hopes that I can release a âfinalâ version of the homebrew that does not require GMs to constantly update things every time I end up with a major update. As always, I hope that you all enjoy the new content these updates add.
PsstâŚI may end up creating a fat-themed Bond in the next update
Portly Pilot Base Book Draft 17:

Portly Pilot Ravager Draft 8:
Added a new condition; Transmuted
Transmuted characters gain the Biological Tag if they do not have it already. Transmuted characters take AP energy damage whenever they would gain heat but are not immune to tech actions like normal Biological units. In addition, they can also perform tech actions, but they take 1 for every Quick Tech and 2 for every Full Tech.
Changed Artemis Class NHP to inflict this status (still applies shredded as well)
Clarified that Bioverride Nanites cannot be used to transfer Engorged Stomach, Devoured, or Churning
Removed the Pilot Quirk causing upon digesting a Neural Core
Is now Limited 2
You now expend a charge to create a neural core without consequence, though creating a core without expending a charge will cause 3 AP Kinetic to the pilot
Area Distortion Subaltern now has 0 armor and no speed to be in line with other drones
Blinkspace Reactor Injector is now Limited 2
Reaper Nanocomposite Conversion now only triggers 1/round
Digestion Attuner âStasisâ option now lets you drain 3 Nutrition to make a devoured character regain 3 HP
Ghostly Devouring now lets you gain or clear an instance of INTANGIBLE
I am not perfect and I realized that I not only made a few mistakes with the latest update, but also that some of my earlier additions to the homeforge were nearly unusable, far too niche, or were not worded properly. Along with that I wanted to address some general balancing concerns especially with the new Breaker NPC which I felt I made some of the optional systems/weapons far too strong. Also as promised, the fat-themed bond is included for folks who either want to fully indulge themselves or who want a side of a different bond to gain their chosen bondâs veteran power.
Portly Pilot Base Book Draft 17A:
Added âThe Gourmandâ Bond, a bond centered fulfilling the desires of yourself and others
Includes new artwork by WaifuDekai
Addressed a few small oversights
Productive Song and Rapid Backlog are explicitly classified as tech attacks along with requiring Sensors and/or line of sight

Set E-Defense of Chunk Cache, Caloric Silo, and Adiposium Extractor to 5 instead of 8

âJesterâs Pieâ Remote EW Harpoon has been reworked
No longer a Limited weapon
Hits now make enemies PRONE and JAMMED instead of PRONE and STUNNED
Siphon Mass can no longer deal damage
Fry Systems lasts until a successful systems check as a quick action
Hijack Controls only works if the target stays within Range 5
You need to wait before your target resolves the save to use it again
Class OB Leg Actuator Reinforcements has been reworked
Now is a quick action that lets you jump up to half your speed towards the target to apply the effects as before
If flying, hovering, or otherwise above the character, you can take the quick action to instead drop directly onto them. This makes you take half the damage you would have from falling and the total fall damage you would have taken is added to the damage sum for the Agility Save
Mobilas Prototype Mobility Drone is now Limited 1
Temptation Visor now works on both willing and unwilling individuals, but is still much more effective on willing wearers
Spring of Blubber areas now expire at the end of the scene
Mass-Seeking Targeting now only requires âa Portly Pilot status and/or conditionâ rather than âa Portly Pilot status and conditionsâ
Enhanced Shielding Array now has an OVERSHIELD limit capped at 5/7/10.
Breakerâs Adiposium Shotgun is no longer inaccurate, but is now loading
Added Maternal Countermeasures - [kink optional] Gourmand/Sat-Fat system
Greetings everyone. As I get closer to the hopefully full release of Portly Pilots, I wanted to handle a variety of quality of life changes and small additions to make the whole corebook feel more âcompleteâ along with providing some alternative ways to playâŚmainly for people who wanted to have AI/NHP characters (looking at you LEGIONNAIRE homebrew players). As always, hope that you all enjoy these new changes and additions.
Portly Pilot Base Book Draft 17B:
Expanded the rules on how non-Biological characters can gain weight and overall interact with the Portly Pilot system (NHP/AI player character fans, this one is for you)
Also included information on playing as Size ½ mechs for those wanting to be the mechs rather than a person piloting one
Added the Olympus, a Size ½ mech available at LL0 focused around providing team support (and giving people wanting to play as Size ½ mechs an option from the start)
Adjusted the mechanics of Full Floating slightly
Adjusted several of the downtime actions
Intensive Work and Labor now gives you a reserve even if you rolled a 9 or below
Eccentric Client - Feedee Resources now gives 15 Nutrition
Eccentric Client - To The Brim now has the instance of STUFFED/INFLATED unable to be cleared or removed by any means
Suspicious Dealer - Fruity Consequences now gives an instance of LINGERING FRUITNESS rather than 2 instances of FRUITY BODY
Made a section dedicated to clearing up how some of the kink optional statuses/conditions impact NPCs differently from players
Reworks and rebalances
NPCs now have an additional unique criterion to have their chest count as obstructed; piloting a mech or vehicle with armor greater than its frame size
//RUNAWAY PRODUCTION - Leaky Life Support now makes enemiesâ chests count as obstructed until the end of the scene
Fixed grammatical and formatting issues
Portly Pilot Base Book Draft 17C:
Added âSwitched Massesâ - Exotic/Horror System
Did some general bookkeeping
Changed Hefty Impactâs description to be more in line with official content

Reworks and rebalances

Frostbite Coolant Pods now clear half of your current heat cap rather than your current heat
//SweetRevenge now costs 0 SP
Tainted Nutrition now does 1/2/3 Burn instead of a flat 2
Howdy howdy. With this update in particular I wanted to focus on the kink optional market pilot equipment as previously they only had 1 pilot weapon and a handful of gear that just barely made up a single page. With this update, I wanted to give more options for each of the three kinks right from the start as opposed to before where a significant chunk of the items were locked behind exotic gear. Not only that, I also wanted to make some more refinements to bring the homeforge closer to a âfinal releaseâ state such as finishing up the optional systems for NPCs, making some adjustments to some of the reserves, and providing a few more mech options to the mech items. As always, I am hoping that you enjoy these new additions and changes (along with hoping that my brain will finally be satisfied with what I have made instead ending up releasing several more âlast major updatesâ).

Unexpected Food Delivery now gives only 3 instances of STUFFED/INFLATED per scene
Security Codes now explicitly lets you reroll either the positive/negative roll or the specific effect for the Chunk Cache
Goo Injectorâs instances of Stuffed/Inflated now last until the end of the scene

RUNAWAY PRODUCTION - Leaky Life Support now splits the instances of excessive production between multiple pilots if there are, but Milky Transferrence now lets you additionally choose whether the targetâs chest is counted as obstructed or not.
Cleaned up the description for the Retrofitted Fertilizer Mortar
Greetings everyone, I hope that you have all been well since the last update. I am currently in the process of working on making a thorough compendium for Foundry VTT that anyone wanting to GM Portly Pilot and its optionals so that having to meticulously port everything from the books into the VTT itself is a pain only I have to experience. Additionally I am starting to feel satisfied with the content present in the base book and ravagerâŚbut still may implement a few balancing changes or additions before finalizing them. In the meantime, I hope that you all enjoy these new changes and additions.
Portly Pilot Base Book Draft 18A
Added two new alt frames
Siren - A Gorgon alt frame that fattens, lures, and tempts targets into winding up in an immobile bliss
Ishtar - A Gilgamesh alt frame centered around establishing fortifications and defensible areasâŚand strangely normal by Adiposa Industries standards

Adjusted Flowing Barrierâs description to be more in line with existing Overshield systems
Added a section on how you can change non-Portly NPCs to interact more with with the homebrew

Tweaked the word arrangement on the lower part of The Gourmand bond and alt frames to make them look better
Handled some formatting issues with the Tongrelow alt frame
Fixed various grammatical and formatting issues
Portly Pilot Base Book Draft 19:
Made a new status; Obstructed
Some issues have caused the pilotâs chest to become obstructed or the liquid being unable to be leaked out. This causes them to store 2 Nutrition Points of liquids that back up into their body for each instance of EXCESSIVE PRODUCTION. For every 10 Nutrition Points of liquids stored this way, the character gains an instance of STUFFED/INFLATED. Characters can get the OBSTRUCTED status from meeting one or more of the following criteria:
Actively wearing a hardsuit that provides 1 or more Armor
Have the TIGHT FIT or PRONE status.
They or someone else are purposefully obstructing their chest.
They are being GRAPPLED as a pilot while outside of their mech or vehicle.
Are inflicted with the OBSTRUCTED status directly.
If this status was inflicted directly, it wears off at the end of the scene. Otherwise, it cannot be cleared until either the status is transferred or the criteria is no longer met.
Change Automatic Extractor, Productive Needle Launcher, optional NPC rules, Rapid Backlog, Incapacitating Mines, and Runaway Production to inflict this status
Expanded on the lore for Adiposium
Added a section for how to handle player immobilizations
Added some new goodies

Biochemical Surge is now Limited 2
Oni Warclub now deals 1d6+4 damage
Milk-o-nami has been reworked
Jet Mode now deals 2d6+3 damage and Spray Mode now deals 2d6+1
Jet Mode is now Reliable 4
For every 3 instances of the lactation/fruit effects, the weapon deals an additional 1d6 Kinetic damage.
Maximum bonus damage that can be achieved is 3d6, and this bonus damage is halved on spray mode like normal bonus damage.
Refitted Fertilizer Mortar now deals 1d3+2 Energy damage
Added an additional option to the Waddling Pilot Immobilizer Tank NPC trait to gain Obstructed until the end of the scene
Fixed multiple grammatical and formatting issues
Portly Pilot - Ravager Addon Draft 10
Clarified rules for devouring Squad NPCs
Fixed page numbers
Added a few goodies
Modification to the Sirenâs Irresistible Song trait to work with the devouring system
Sobieski - A Nelson alt frame focused on kicking (or rather devouring) enemies while they are down
Marbled Witch - A White Witch alt frame that focuses on forcing enemies to attack it instead, often with consumptive results.
Protective Stomach Trait - A trait focused around selective digestion and providing aid to allies
Howdy howdy everyone, today marks a major day in the Portly Pilot addon as, you guessed it, the Foundry VTT compendium has been completed and is (hopefully) ready for use. This is my first venture into making this homeforgeâs content premade in a virtual tabletop environment for other people to import directly. Not only that, but having to go through everything again made me catch some major and minor oversights that I missed for so long. While there may be some changes here and there, I feel safe in saying this serves as the âreleaseâ version of itâŚat least until my brain goes back to obsessing over this and I end up producing 30+ more pages of content before it is satisified. Nevertheless, I deeply hope that you enjoy all this new content and the Foundry VTT Compendium.
If you experience or notice any issues with the compendium, please do not be afraid to let me know!
Portly Pilot Base Book Draft 19A:
Reintroduced the âBelly Beamâ Plasma Beam Projector (to be honest I have no idea when or why it vanished), with two small adjustments

Renamed Siren âCondenmedâ Trait to âHardened Codebaseâ
Clarified the rules on Tailored Shot some more

Changed the wording around various saves to make them more in line with the official content
Rebalances and Reworks
Sabotaged Equipment reserve can now be triggered once per scene
Fuji Rudimentary Gunnery Assistance now only lets you hit the same enemy once rather than twice
Kinky Craftsman âHot Swapâ now lets you switch between two weapon profiles instead of just the effect and save
(Example: Profile 1 is a Main Rifle that deals Energy and forces an Engineering Save for Stuffed/Inflated, Profile 2 is a Main Melee that deals Explosive and forces an Agility Save for Ravenously Hungry)
Poisoned Fruit now properly lasts until the drone is destroyed or at the end of the scene
FTF-0A Biomass Converter Bolster effect now lasts indefinitely or until it makes a check/save.

Irresistible Treat now makes the Slime Mass take the maximum amount of Churning Damage
Frenzy Launcher is set to Limited 3
Gut of the Beholder now lets you do quick actions instead of exclusively quick tech options
Conversion Pylon now has no armor but 10 Evasion and E-Defense to bring it in line with normal deployables
Biological Override Cannonâs 2d6 Explosive Damage on Transmuted/Biological targets is no longer considered bonus damage (no reduction due to it being an AoE attack)
Marbled Witch Repair Capacity has been reduced to 4
Greetings all. SoâŚIâve gotten to the point where I have recognized that if I donât force myself to stop, I am just going to end up endlessly adding content to the core book until Iâm either burned out or itâs some 500+ page gargantuan document. Every time I thought I had a âfinal versionâ or âlast major updateâ, my brain kept finding issues or thinking of new stuff to add. Eventually I just said that enough was enough and that I had to make a definitive TRUE FINAL VERSION. Granted I will still be making quality of life adjustments and balancing changes to it, but I have decided that I need to stop constantly expanding the core book. Whatever new stuff I think of should be tied to additional supplements, not to some monolithic and unapproachable document. However, I wanted to make this a proper send of, so I hope that you all enjoy the new changes and additions because oh boy is there a lot of them.
Portly Pilot Base Book Draft Release 1.0.0:
Implemented significantly more automation in the Google Sheetsâ Portly Pilot info section (Special thanks to Wolfen and Flare Aurablaze)
Changed credit section
Overhauled Pilot Sizes
A pilotâs size is now split into two categories; Board Size and Portly Size.
Board Size is the size the character is treated as when it comes to mechs or mech-scale entities interacting on the pilot (ex; lifting, dragging, grapple, ram, etc.) along with the size of their board piece.
Portly Size refers to the pilotâs bulk and effective weight for things such as a mechâs Cockpit Size, stored nutrition, and other interactions with the portly pilot system. Every Board Size ½ increment is equal to Size 4 Portly Size increments.

Howdy howdy everyone. So remember how I mentioned that additional content would be tied to supplement content? Well turns out I had some more ideas and thought it would be fun to introduce some licensed equipment. Yes you heard right, full 3-Rank licenses and custom equipment along with a new branch of Adi-Ind; Adi-Req to have core bonuses based around usage of these licenses. That said I did make a few changes to the base book to compensate for changes made to some of the material in the suppliment, but all the new content has been reserved for said suppliment. Do keep in mind the Foundry VTT compendium has not been updated yet as a dedicated .LCP is in the works which should help streamline the data importing and management massively in addition to letting you import it directly into any LCP compatible program instead of only Foundry. As always, hereâs hoping you enjoy all the new changes and I will let you know when we get a functioning .LCP for the homebrew.

My previous statement about getting into a mostly happy state with the homebrew is becoming more and more true with every passing version. Who knows, I may end up reaching an actual stopping point when it comes to major content updates as already between the 3 versions there is nearly 270 pages of content. Again the .LCP is in the works but with this intending to be my last major change to the core book and settling onthe Ravager stuff, it is likely that only the Corsairs module will have substantial changes from hereon out.

Greetings all. So, I am not entirely sure if I plan for this to be my last âbigâ update. For me I feel like I have already made a mountain of content and I would rather focus on making sure all (or most of it) is viable to use rather than simply pile on more content. Another major factor in this slowdown is some complications regarding the .LCP process that I do not want to exacerbate by doing any groundbreaking changes if possible. With all that said. I hope you all enjoy the new content.
