Ah, judging by your designations, I'm guessing you're a clanner too. Death to the inner-sphere degenerates!

I.S. 4 LYF

(ComStar specifically, I ran a squadron back in the pen and paper days. You can tell I was the nerd because I picked my designation by the fact that the the group was essentially a bunch of computer geeks.)

Heheh... I arrived at the scene a little too late for the table-top I'm afraid... it's a shame there aren't any pod-bays in England.

I think me and my wife are listed as playtesters in the Mechwarrior 3rd ed RPG....

...they're turning MechWarrior 3 into an RPG?

Yegads! Is nothing sacred?

(Okay, the first two Battletech games for the PC were RPGs, but MechWarrior has always been the brand "action" goes under, all the "boring" stuff (tabletop, RPG, etc) goes under the "Battletech" name.

Interesting tidbit: The "Official Battletech Universe Product" symbol never appears on the MechWarrior 3 packaging.

Nononono...

BattleTech is the tabletop game. Mechwarrior is the role playing pen & paper game.

I am not aware of any work on new computer games in the BT universe...

I am so out of practice, it's not even funny anymore.

What would you need? Fiction? Reviews? Photos of my cat?

All of 'em I could especially do with reviews and coverage of the games and materials I don't have the pleasure of owning myself. (Even DaLion from CnCDen has photos of his kitties on his website).

Heh. Unfortunately, I'm not playing anymore. Maybe you can contact the people at BattleCorps...
