Mechwarrior: The Battletech Role-Playing Game (2nd Edition)

I love Battletech but I am not fond of this RPG version. But since I love everything with BT I gave it 5 stars. The next version on BT RPG is better then this. However I use Blood of Heroes rules for my campaigns.

This is one of my absolute favorite roleplaying games. And, having been a BattleTech player since fifth grade, I have been impressed all the more with how the BattleTech universe comes alive. The only thing that keeps this book from a five-star rating is the need for the MechWarrior Companion in order to have the truly complete RPG.

Have you ever wished that you could randomly missuse a deadly force on innocent victims all for a few minutes of entertainment?!! NOW YOU CAN!!!

This book is a must. It allows you to role-play your battletech games. All you have to do is make your character, and think of a way he can get into a fight, so he take out all of that stress in one manic burst of psychotic, homicidal mania!!

There is also a new form of combat called "personal combat" but its more like a death match on DOOM. My favorite part is the fact that you can do absolutely anything you please. I REALLY like to walk into big crowds and pull out my submachine gun so I can "control the population."
There is only one problem. The book leaves a few things out, so you'll wind up paying for the Mechwarrior Companion as well, but its worth the money. Just think of all the nifty things you can do!! The hell with normal book and TV!!!
