Hey Folks, quick hits (the best kind right now). We’re recapping the new fiction stuff for Battletech that was discussed at Pax Unplugged. Some of this is already out (and we’re in the process of reviewing a couple), but we’ve got some delights to share with you. So, buckle up, buttercups, let’s ride the fiction train all the way down.
Hey Folks, some quick updates and some pictures from Pax Unplugged about the stuff we're getting from Battletech in probably the first 2 quarters of 2025. Some interesting things popped up, and we have some pictures from the show.
So, Today’s a longer bit of fun, and I’m going to cover some Battletech shopping ideas for your holiday shopper. Hopefully i find something for everyone, but some of these things are very specific. BattleTech is easier than some product lines for getting multiple copies of some things, but i would always check with a partner or a close friend before taking the plunge, especially on something pricey. So, let’s see what we can see to make this a very Big Stompy Robot Holliday Season for you and your friends.
Hey Folks, quick hit today. We know the holidays are rapidly approaching (and we love every holiday and excuse to hand out presents), so we're going to spend some time covering things we think are great for the BattleTech Fan in your life. Hot Spots Hinterlands is a modern iteration of old, classic idea, the sourcebook, rebuilt for the 2020s gamer. I like this book a lot, and let me see if i can explain why.
BattleTech is often called the “historical” Sci-fi wargame. The reason for this has a lot to do with the way BattleTech has been written from its earliest days and source material. Players are actively encouraged to play through scenarios based off of events that have happened in setting.
“We’re going to refight the battle of Coventry?”
“Which one?”
This may be a low attempt at Battletech humor, but it exists in the same head space as civil war reenactors and folks who build dioramas of famous battles. We already know the historical outcome of the event (usually revealed to us in a novel or sourcebook set after the scenario being played), but we’re going to see if we can do it differently for different results.
Enter, Hotspots Hinterlands.
Hey Folks, quick hit today. We know the holidays are rapidly approaching (and we love every holiday and excuse to hand out presents), so we're going to spend some time covering things we think are great for the Battletech Fan in your life. However, through the power of Uno Reverse, we're actually gonna start with a great introduction to the BattleTech setting itself with BattleTech Universe.
Hey Folks We’re playing a little bit of hooky today. As part of Thanksgiving Week, we’re goofing a bit, (we’ll have a full boat of our normal content again next week). Today we finish up our new clans with the Crystal Spiders.
Hey Folks We’re playing a little bit of hooky today. As part of Thanksgiving Week, we’re goofing a bit, (we’ll have a full boat of our normal content again next week). Following up on the well received Void Krakens and Steel Crabs, we’re giving you another new Clan. Behold, the wonder of the Thunder Ants.
As stated, this is a FAN PROJECT. This is not official CGL material, nor is it endorsed by the powers that be at Battletech, but it is something that I find interesting. It’s also a “My Dudes are cool” sort of project. Like the previous project, this is an Ilclan Era expansion of the Homeworld Clans. Let’s see how this plays out, shall we?
