Quote from: BoxCrayonTales on October 24, 2024, 01:47:48 PMSo when are we gonna get a new mech game that isn't Battletech? I have some ideas for original mech games and settings. I think it would make the most sense to start with generic rules that can support multiple settings, then make a plethora of settings rather than limiting yourself to just one. E.g. the war of earthly aggression, the bug war, mech sports, mechs vs the cthulhu mythos...

There's an alt-universe BattleTech product (BattleTech Gothic boxed set) that's being produced with a new setting and it will have kaiju-like monsters to fight with your mechs.

I'm not giving money or exposure to bigots

They're taking a step towards giving you what you asked for but that's not enough for you. Suit yourself. I'll take a look at it and judge it on its own merit (or lack of such).

Since we were talking about BattleTech, I assumed he was talking about Catalyst/Topps.

BattleTech is a wargame of warlike nobles inside giant robots fighting over land ownership in a centuries long war. 

This new Gothic version is just silly. I have zero interest in it.  Warhammer 40K is a genre unto itself, and already has several good copycat games.  One Page Rules for example

This new BattleTech game is likely to flop hard.  In fact, I'm now to the point that I'm considering boycotting them.  I have enough BattleTech.  I'm good.  Everything else I can do myself since I own a Mars Elegoo 3D resin printer.

One additional thing.  One source I heard from says BT Gothic is just one of several Alternative Universe BattleTech games planned.  There will also be a diesel-punk version set in an alternate WW-2 for example. Gothic is just the first one out.
