BattleTech = GURPS
« on: April 22, 2024, 10:14:53 AM »
I was looking through GURPs for ideas and concepts for game use in the BattleTech universe but trying to settle on a Tech Level equivalence is difficult. In some cases certain tech seems to be Edge of Tomorrow or TL8 (which seems like we are in today but hey it is a 90s product) in other stuff like HPGs seems far advanced. I'm just curious what you guys think on the subject.

Each chased the Ice Hellion, hunting it down.
All failed to match the predator's speed and grace.

 ;D that is an obvious answer to my question that I didn't even consider. I was looking at Ultratech and Spaceships lately for clues.

To be clear I don't think there is a single answer. An InnerSphere nation or Great House could have a wide variety of tech levels given their various locales.

I think you should look at Gurps Space.
