Please add BattleTech and Mechwarrior to Games List

There are a lot of RPG's out there, a lot of board games, but not all board games are of the same vein. Settlers of Catan is not the same thing as Warhammer 40K which is not the same thing as BattleTech. Without the ability to put in our own game names and have them be searchable, then we need the ability to have games added fairly quickly in order to find players. Here's hoping that this happens. I'd like to see BattleTech and MechWarrior added to the Game list. BattleTech may be a 'board game' but it is a tactical board game of a far different style than Chess or Monopoly. It also has an actual RPG only side in MechWarrior. With Harebrained Studios putting out a new 3025 BattleTech video game there is likely going to be a resurgence in interest in these two games. Please add both BattleTech and MechWarrior to the games list so it is searchable.
I've been scanning for this too... +1

Good suggestion Hex. In the meantime, try to use the Matching Keywords field to make these games searchable. For any Battletech GM, what you want to do is include the keyword "BattleTech": in the TITLE of your game,&nbsp; and also in the 1st paragraph of the Description text,&nbsp; and&nbsp; also under Edit Tags on your My Games page &nbsp;of Roll20. For the GAME in the drop-down, use "Other Games" (or use "Board Games" if that feels more appropriate to you). Then, the game will come up under "Find A Game" if the searcher types "BattleTech" in the Matching Keywords field, like this: <a href="https://app.roll20.net/lfg/search/battletech" rel="nofollow">https://app.roll20.net/lfg/search/battletech</a> In this way we can start to build a community of game listings around that game, and that is what usually leads to game titles being added on the drop-down list. Wiki docs for this, <a href="https://wiki.roll20.net/Looking_for_Group#Other_Ga" rel="nofollow">https://wiki.roll20.net/Looking_for_Group#Other_Ga</a>... If you feel a game should be listed, encourage your community members to play and post often. The more community attention a title receives the more likely it is to be added to the list.
These are still two games to add. &nbsp;Not sure if anything is going on with the Battletech uni here at roll20, but I'm about to find out. &nbsp;
