Battletech/Mechwarrior RPG?

[Snailman]

Hi, are there any fans of Battletech here? I'm searching for the role playing game for this universe. Unfortunately there are absolutely no source books and expansions for such for and RPG( I found no PDF books at all... are there any out there somewhere?

The pen and paper RPG was called Mechwarrior. You can find it pretty cheap on ebay: http://www.ebay.com/itm/MECHWARRIOR-The-BATTLETECH-Role-Playing-Game-Second-Edition-RPG-FASA-/290974352679?pt=Games_US&hash=item43bf6c4527

ah... I see.... hm, but what is Classic Battletech RPG then? Is it a.. parallel product by someone else? (Since FASA is gone as far as I know..) Or is it the board game... like Star wars miniatures?... played with painted figures on paper map

 

Well my friend and his company of gamers should try this instead, i think this universe is far better and closer to logical reality that space-tales like Star Wars.. I only read the books, as many they published in hungarian (42 books) but only heard that a roleplaying game exists. Not even expecting a movie... With a technology available today like in Transformers they could make a decent movie out of Battletech. IF there would enough fans to fulfill their shy-sky high expectations of profit... OK im not going to rant on hollywood stuff )

The classic BattleTech RPG was not an RPG - it was a turn-based strategy game played on a big hex grid.

 

A company called Catalyst picked up all the BT IP, and they have rebotted both the RPG and Board game - have a look: http://bg.battletech.com/?page_id=400
