Since things are about to get a little warm over at the old aggregator site, I hope that we can be a good home for those new participants who are as dedicated to our favorite tabletop game as we are.
As such, I’m hoping that, if interested, we can grow our community by building bridges between everyone who wants to play. So please, introduce yourself. Share your experience, your favorite part of the game, and any thoughts you have about growing this hobby of ours.
Joining in, I was introduced to BattleTech through the original MechWarrior games that were lighting up the gaming scene in the 90s. One of my friends got into the card game, and from then on I broke into the fiction and began reading it as much as I could. Though I took a hiatus through college, Harebrained Scheme’s game soaked up hundreds of hours from me when I found it a few years ago. It dawned on me I #1) Loved the setting still and #2) This was a recreation of the tabletop game. So I bought a copy of the beginner’s box, then A Game of Armored Combat… and onward. I spent the next year playing against myself, until I finally met some people in the local FLGS and we started playing together last winter. Since then I’ve taken up mini-painting, I read the fiction, I have lead MechWarrior: Destiny missions, and I own enough of the manuals I can write the sticky. I’m thrilled to help build our community here.
