Thank you for continuing to share these!

To clarify for others considering, the sale is for the PDF. I would be more likely to get this if it was a hard copy.

I am in the same boat as you. I looked at this and thought about buying it but, I don't need it so I didn't. I could be convinced otherwise but I would rather buy more sourcebooks that I may or may not read/use.

Ah ha! Thank you!

I would have crossposted to sci-fi, but I don't know how.

Yes, original Battletech was simulating large scale mech warfare with collectible minis (let's face it though, most people just liked to paint and have them). The Battletech RPG (to my understanding) is that flavor adapted to a TTRPG.

If you like mechs and video gaming, I encourage you to check out the MechWarrior series. It is the video game adaptation of Battletech.

The site appears to be back up now.

And yes, at the very basic level, all these settings involve mechs. Lancer would probably be closer in theme to Evangelion, if you wanted to run it that way. Battletech would be a crunchy cousin, due to its roots as a war game.

I would like an excuse to buy Battletech, but just can't do it when I could play Lancer instead. Can anyone convince me I'm wrong?

I think I'll try this. Thanks for sharing!

That makes sense then. Double the time, double the things you learn from it.

If people are living twice as long in this universe, why would they not double the length of a term? Instead they've doubled the skills acquired per term. That doesn't make any sense given the context of living longer. Am I missing something?

You are welcome. I think the awareness of potential deals outweighs the risk of being spammy.
