Oh, man. Them clanner elemental women are prime for the internet's current thirst for big, muscular women.

Now I know how it feels when people who aren't into Warhammer see Warhammer posts. Wtf is happening.
Yeeeeaaahbuuuoooyyyyy
I love Battletech, and I surely hope that the influx of related shitposts increases

I don't understand a single word of any of this, but it's front page now, and I like giant robots, have a doot

So this is a flirting thing that made the frontpage??
RedC0met3
?♂️ Nah just bored at work sharing memes, didn't expect to hit fp with Battletech at all
CrimeBrulee
Hey bro own it, a little work flirting never hurt anyone.¹

This makes me miss MechAssault on the old Xbox. So much fun just blasting shit
SpartaWolf117
No, a brick wall cannot outrun a Dire Wolf. It just gives it stiff competition.

The Banshee clown one is great.

Problem is, it's the one actual *good* Banshee variant.

Sadly the group I used to play with stopped playing when the game store closed.

A tragedy in 2 parts.
RedC0met3
Whereabouts? I've got a group up and running in Florida
triscuit3000
What a coincidence, I'd just gotten back into MW5. Been thinking about picking up some minis to paint...
JustAnotherRandomCommenter
there's some really nice new ones.
triscuit3000
Yeah saw a wolf's dragoons set the other day that had me tempted.
lemmerustlethosejimmies
I only just feel like I'm getting a handle on Warhammer 40K and now you heathens offer this
Jagadid
At least it's not games workshop aka no fan works or lawsuit.
TrueLegateDamar
Same, though I lost interest when it came to the Clans that felt like an attempt to have alien factions without actual aliens.

boy i'd love a game where it actually feels like you're piloting a giant mech
DocBenny
Mechwarrior Living Legends was pretty close, no idea if it's still alive tho
AnonMasterRace
It is. They’re also working on a second. Initially it would have needed you own the dumpster fire of MW5 to play but they got around that.

Its old now but Steel Battalion on the OG Xbox was def that. Huge controller with 50 buttons, 2 joysticks, and foot pedals.

Ohhhh shit the pods! Fucking LOVED Battletech at virtual world back in the day.
modus0
Wizards of the Coast store in Seattle area had some early 2000s, $20 for 20 minutes, but it was an amazing 20 minutes of 'Mech fun.
dudehiemer
I got to play the the ones in Atlanta, and Walnut Creek. It was pure magic.

#1 Oh it isn't that bad. It could be ShadowRun. - Oh wait, they're both owned by Catalyst!
Fastjack2056
Well, that one hurt...
dongsamongus2000
shadowrun is super easy, Roll 25d6 1 are crit glitch, 6 crit success, count successes.
bobbo007
Fucking trying to run a shadow run. Didn't know they were same people.
Potts
Always have been. Both used to be under FASA, I think they were bought by Microsoft, then they got licensed to Catalyst.
WeirdoIIC
Microsoft has the rights to digital stuff only. The actual games are owned by Topps. Well, Battletech is, dunno about Shadowrun.
linguistfromhell
Anyone who cringes at Battletech's charts would run screaming from EVE Online.
Mechman13
Honestly, I never minded the paperwork. Makes doing taxes seem so much easier and less complicated
Fastjack2056
Careful not to get 'em confused, last year I tried to add three forms and dumped coolant all over the table
ICollectReactionGifs
GURPS. christ its like tax prep but with magic
Heffe3737
Or Twilight 2000 v2, where you need to calculate square roots. Wtf?!
tocfanke4
I tried to play MERP when I was 14. It's a "streamlined" version of Rolemaster, which is like saying a streamlined tax audit.
Arcanum3000
I've always liked GURPS, but you do need to decide in advance just how simulationist you want to be with the system. And the skill default>
Arcanum3000
> system is overly complicated, or at least it was last time I messed with it.

To who? ComStar? In the 3160s?
OddBrock
They could have kept a good thing going if the Blakists hadn't ruined it

God Bless, Tex.

I know what Battletech is, but I'm not deeply steeped. The Clans got exiled by a phone company??
Toffeeaccident
Yes.
OddBrock
They left after a massive Civil War; they came back centuries later & curbstomped by the people that operated the FTL comm network
Manae
https://www.sarna.net/wiki/Battle_of_Tukayyid_(3052) Space AT&T played 'em at their own game and won. Basically ended the Clans as they were
frozenchicken
Clanners = Star League Defence Force remnants turned barbarians, Comstar = Star League Ministry of Comms turned religious phone company.
CasinoV
Their invasion was stalled by Comstar, but the actual invasion was later stopped by the short lived 2nd Star League.
JustAnotherRandomCommenter
nah, when they invaded it was Comstar (the guys who run the faster than light communications) that organised and financed the defence, and
JustAnotherRandomCommenter
essentially ran the key battle at Tukayid. they also contributed some very high tech mechs to the fight there.

I don't recognize the two in the middle. They look like Dragons, but not quite.

Fuck, I'm old.
mysterymeat
My first taste of battletech. Simpler times
Vengeraxe
played the shit out of that goddamn game. I miss it so....
Stuckinthesun
My memory is that it is a beautiful and amazing game. I'm in no rush to find out how wrong I was.
mysterymeat
I played it again a couple of years back on an emulator. It wasn't horrible and I liked it enough to play it all the way through.
mysterymeat
It wasn't up there with my memories of it though.
