I've been electronic only for two years or more. I'm just a little surprised they went with smaller novellas (as they've already had some of that on BC already).

Nice it'll be interesting to see FM:Star League, hopefully it'll have pre 1st SW information for all the militaries as well as the SLDF.

FM: Star League? :D
Logged


"In turn they tested each Clan namesake
in trial against the Ice Hellion's mettle.
Each chased the Ice Hellion, hunting it down.
All failed to match the predator's speed and grace.
Khan Cage smiled and said, "And that is how we shall be."

The Remembrance (Clan Ice Hellion) Passage 5, Verse 3, Lines 1 - 5

That might be an entire book in itself. It was 20 pages just for the SLDF in the SLSB.

FM: Star League might cut off Threat Assessments 2785 somewhat but I think the two will be different given BTSD changes. I'm in a wait and see mode. Curious to see what they crank out and TA2785 will follow.

Looks like I picked the right year to quit Battletech. I realize I'm probably in the minority here, but I'd prefer the Star League stay the Star League that's shrouded in mystery. It works a lot better for long-term storytelling in the setting. I may have to break my quitting habit just to polish off the Handbook series. Everything else? Yeah, I feel happy about staying strong away from that.

Just to keep you guys informed. According to a quick Twitter post yesterday, the first 80 pages of the historical are already through layout. March is going to be a great month.

Sounds great Knightmare!

I hear your Dread Moores but that kind of happens with all BattleTech products. A little bit of the romance seems to be lost. Heck I can remember getting Objective Raids and actually having a map of the InnerSphere for the first time. Hopefully these new products will add to the flavor of the universe rather than take from it.

Sounds like a healthy dose of personal preference there.

At any rate, BattleTech's a game. Games need product. The Star League era is a huge gaping fiction hole in the universe. Plenty of product to be made from it.

The more the merrier.

Let's see if I can get it in this country....

EDIT: Yep.  Took only 27 minutes to successfully order, and 33 to download.  Ah, the wonders of single-digit kb/s speeds...
