The Time has come... for BATTLETECH!

BattleTech! Here at last! Ok, I’ve done them all on Roll20.. D&D, all versions… but fourth edition… why bother? Traveller… Call of Cthulhu… Masks of Nyarlathotep… Wow… Yea, Wow that was big.   But to my wargamer homies out there, I’ve done Squad Leader, Panzer Leader and of course… Starfleet Battles! All, of very high quality I might add… if you aint into the whole modesty thing. But now, the time has come for me to try my hand at one of my favorite games… ever… BattleTech!   And boy did I hit a home run with this one! I’m a massive nerd, and a bit of a dork. I wrote macros to do all the heavy lifting. Markers, Tables, Damage Rolls you name it… I did it. Take a look. Everything is made easy, through the power of good code… and the effective use of Photoshop... …and a liberal use of "Out of the Box" thinking.   Ok… so I’m looking for a few… more settled, or aged players… if you will. Player with Full Time Jobs, or retired. Players who are Out of School… and with well established lives. Ages 30+...should do it. If you aint paying Rent, or a Mortgage… Car Insurance, Home Insurance, Health Insurance, Property Taxes or performing ANY kind of other adult type responsibilities, well… you, might not be a good fit for the table… of this… I’m sorry.   So… if this all sounds good to you… hit me up with a PM, and we can swop Discord Info and get to talkin. Soon we’ll be sippin Iced Tea and munching on pretzels, stomping around in a 100 ton killing machine. and together we can ride out the heat of this summer, down in the old, cool, comfy, “Basement, of Roll20.”  

Been a long time for me since I've played (FASA era). Even my name is a reference to Battletech. I'd be happy to take a look and possibly join. :) As an aside, I am curious on how you implemented SFB into Roll20. I've been thinking of doing that for years but ran into issues with the EAC.

TBH while I enjoyed playing battletech I prefer mechwarrior as I’d rather play a character not a lance or a platoon or a company. 

i will pass this to my current Battletech clan invasion 3049 play by post players. I am too busy running 8 games to make this happen for me, but it looks absolutely amazing.

I've been trying to get a campaign going for Mechwarrior: Destiny.  I badly want to play this in a RPG format. Any interest in getting this together?

No

Any schedule already set? Since im in Asia the time might be a problem but i may have an opening available after June and ive been looking forward to get my fix of PPC burning Mech action. 

So, this is how I want to run things here. If you can’t make a certain time and day… So what? Just pop over anyway, knock on my door, or ring the bell… And we can have a beer, talk some shit, and set up a game, for when our schedules mesh. I’m shooting for the look and feel of… the Real World.   Send me that Private Message with your discord info, and poof… you’re in. If it don’t work out… again poof… you’re out… no Hard Feelings… Nothing lost.

You coded all this up yourself?  You badass.   I would love to try to find a day or two to get a game in if you guys ever do matches with 3025 era tech.  Love me some old school BattleTech!  Favorite Mechs:  Light: Jenner  Medium: Hunchback  Heavy:  Grasshopper  Assault:  Banshee

Ok I was trying not to do this here… here goes. Token Actions… I make extensive use of Token Actions. As well as Chat Menus… them’s my Chocolate and Peanut Butter… 2 great flavors that go great together! Heat level and Damage to Engines Gyros and all them there Actuators are all calculated for you. Same with Piloting checks… NO MATH NEEDED! In the Heat Phase… click a button… swish… them heat Sinks whisked it away… as per to number of undamaged… wait for it… Heat Sinks. Only the terrain need be counted-up. Also… at your fingertips are Hypertext, to bring up, in handout form, all the charts and tables needed. Look here….

there is more... far more to show you... everything really.

Ok so I did something new… a “Start Movement Marker.” Its 1 token… on the map Layer (so it wont get in the way), and in the Movement Phase Chat Menu, there is a button called: Bust a Move. When you hit it, the token Flys to your Mech’s location so you can easily know the start location of your move… as you move. The Next Player that moves, will click that same button on their menu, and that same token will then fly to that location… on the Map Layer, and so on. This way there is no confusion as to where anyone started out. I made it 50% transeunt so as not to obscure anything on the map, but still easy to see. 

This might sound like a quite rude question(Which I absolutely have no intent behind it). But why not simply using megamek to play the mech phase combat. I had been using it for campaigns for years now. And it always served me well.

Great...  BattleTech has served me well.... So, you do you, and I'll do me. I too, hope that don't sound rude.

hey there, I would be into joining this possibly depending on when games would be. I used to play the comp and nintendo mechwarrior games as well as the old card game a lot in my college days. 

Well send a PM and we can Swop Discord Info... and then we can chat.
