Learn how to play Battletech in '94 with some cutesy anime flair!

I've shared the cover of one of the Fujimi Dragon Book Fantasy File guides for D&D before, now here's one for Battletech.

Absolutely adorable stuff, especially the crew at the bottom.

Extremely good break down on how GenAi doesn’t learn, it copies.

Good reporting work done here

Large language models don’t “learn”—they copy. And that could change everything for the tech industry.

There’s a fan-made Word of Blake ProtoMech floating around out there called “The Ghoul.” I like the quad version, so I made my own. According to the post I saw on Reddit, it is 9 tons, has an ER Micro Laser and a ProtoMech Autocannon 4.

Look, I'm not predicting a second coming of the Word of Blake - but if there is one, let the record show that I praised Blake without coercion.

So I'm considering getting into Battletech! I used to be big into 40k, but it is WAAY too expensive and intensive to get into. Meanwhile, I am very much a stompy mech fan and I'm not scared of hex grids or math, so this looks fun!

Any advice for someone new to the hobby?
