Haven't painted any mechs since April, so I decided to end the drought with this tribute to Mechwarrior 1. (lemmy.world)

Nice! I need to bust out my Battletech and actually play the thing for the first time lol just need another nerd who has a hard-on for mechs

I bought a Battletech set but have no one to play with. But I should paint my mechs.

Not sure where you reside, but I see you and me made the same mistake for our love of mechs and, presumably, mechwarrior

Oklahoma, and this the set I bought from someone who does a YouTube channel.

I'll have to double check but I do believe I have that exact set myself! And.. weirdly..also live in Oklahoma. What are the odds

Cool! I live Sapulpa. Should hang out sometime. Maybe a meet up.

Honestly, I'm down. Could actually play our copies of Battletech for once lol

Well mine have not left the box. I really bought it to help out my ex boyfriend who needed the money. He runs the channel Battle Bond on YouTube. The people at Battle Tech pay him to promote the game. He is California right now for that reason. He the one who got me into the game, but have not gotten to play in a long time. DM me and love to find a time we could hang out and play.

Also need a place to play cause I have nowhere to play here. At least at the moment.

There have been dozens of attempts over the years to make it happen, but at some point we really need CGL or someone to make an official place where we can register as Battletech players so we can find people in our area.

Do you have a local game store where people play?

[–] Dzheyk@sh.itjust.works 1 points 3 days ago

None that tend to stay open past a year sadly. Or within an hour or so drive. One of the many reasons I'm toying with the idea to open my own little game lounge..
