Hi there! I'm a DM with over 15 years of experience with various systems covering most genres and including officially published games and homemade systems. In the past few months I've rediscovered my love for the Battletech universe and would like to run a game in said universe. I will list as many details as I can. The year is 3035 and the party are members of a very down on their luck mercenary company. After a botched contract given to them by House Kurita, the company's commander is MIA and down to minimal resources, meaning a couple Leopards, two barely functional Lances of Mechs, and about 50 personnel. With each passing week handfuls of Mercs once dedicated to the company are scalped by other companies or agents of the Houses of the Inner Sphere. The party consists of those unwilling to give up hope and those who wish to see the Company rise in status, all while kicking ass, taking names, and drinking gin. The Details The game will be run every other Wednesday starting in mid/late April, most likely from 7pm-11pm EST. The game will use Discord for the majority of communication, though I am still figuring out what I want to use for gameplay. Either Foundry or a tool most suitable for BT. The systems used will be Mechwarrior 2e for ground level gameplay and classic battletech for everything else. I am looking for 4 players for this campaign which will feature equal amounts of mature roleplay and crunchy combat. Expect humor, banter, and heartfelt moments as well. It can't always be warcrimes all the time. Players will most likely be in control of 2-4 characters possibly including two mechwarriors and two support staff or other members of the Merc band. I'm not a thousand percent sold on this part yet. Just might be your one Mechwarrior and that's it. Disclaimer: I love the Battletech universe but I am still learning a lot about it. I'm an extremely experienced DM but I have not run a game in this universe before. I ask for your grace and patience and loo k forward to figuring this out together!
