BattleTech¶
I enjoy playing BattleTech and run demos. It is especially important to me for new players to feel safe and welcome joining this hobby space.
You can find more stuff I do on my personal website.
Communities¶
I help moderate the Catalyst Game Labs Discord community.
I enjoy playing BattleTech and run events as part of Colorado BattleTech. See the Colorado BattleTech website to find BattleTech players in Colorado.
The ‘Mech Painters Union is a BattleTech fan group dedicated to working together for better painting. We share miniatures that we’ve painted with advice to help each other improve our art.
Rules¶
BattleTech: Outworlds Wastes¶
I’ve developed a lightweight narrative league and event framework with simplified logistics rules, BattleTech: Outworlds Wastes.
BattleTech: Outworlds Wastes also has a redesign based upon the new Chaos Campaign rules from the Mercenaries Box Set and BattleTech: Hinterlands sourcebook.
Skirmishers¶
Skirmishers is an effort to rebuild the old BattleTroops game from FASA. We are attempting to overhaul and streamline the rules while expanding them to cover additional weapons and units.
Scenarios¶
Mercenary’s Pride¶
Mercenary’s Pride is a fun project retelling Jane Austin’s Pride and Prejudice as a series of BattleTech scenarios and comm logs.
Alpha Strike Epic¶
Alpha Strike Epic is a series of Alpha Strike events for Colorado BattleTech with 100-200 minis on the table.
Pirate Point¶
PIRATE POINT is a queer punk fanzine centered around the LGBTQIA+ Battletech community, and was created to provide a place for fans of stompy robots to express ourselves. It is 100% free, made by fans for fans, and has no affiliation with Topps or Catalyst Game Labs.
I have submitted scenarios allowing players to fight ‘Red Cell’, a violent splinter group formed from Word of Blake remnants who mandate strict adherence to their interpretation of Blakeist ideology.
Units¶
Basic Artillery¶
I’ve always found it a bit odd that basic artillery trailers were not more common in BattleTech. I’ve created basic Age of War and later era towed artillery units based upon the Early Republic era Gun Trailer (Thumper).
Experimental Atlas Variants¶
I’ve worked on a few custom Atlas variants representing experimental R&D in the late Succession Wars era.
Resources¶
I have a small list of common resources that are helpful for BattleTech players.
