Charles, thank you for joining us.
ArchangelHOST
Okay, I mean, the point of...
ArchangelHOST
Because Warhammer and Battletech are like the two extremes.
ArchangelHOST
Battletech is incredibly plausible, leaving aside the specifics of certain technological specifics.
ArchangelHOST
It's often way too plausible.
ArchangelHOST
Whereas Warhammer is reductio ad absurdum.
ArchangelHOST
enjoyed it.
ArchangelHOST
Warhammer gets its impact through absurdity.
ArchangelHOST
Battletech gets its impact through plausibility.
Brian SchneiderHOST

It's tragic, really.
MarxHOST
Thanks for joining us this week, everyone.
MarxHOST
Big thank you to Catalyst Game Labs for their continued generous and noble support of the Battletech IP.
Drake Grim PhantomHOST
Big thank you to Joel Morelli for the music, and to Pixabay for so many of the sound effects, or the original of the sound effects, I suppose, before Marx messes with them to make them all Robified and awesome.
MarxHOST
As always, no part of today's production used AI in any way, because AI slop is the worst, and nobody should use it for any creative thing ever.
AlexGUEST
We're trying to grow that.
AlexGUEST
And then we have a lot of our community members who stand up their own events like Battletech and some historicals and things like that.
AlexGUEST
So it really is kind of, you know, grassroots convention, I guess.
DuncanHOST
And you said that you just kind of grew out of kind of...
JonHOST
eastern style mechs are typically very agile and dexterous and you you can move around and they're usually dexterous enough to like pick up weapons specifically made for it if you don't know what i'm talking about look up gundam and western style mechs are basically walking tanks You know, there's these clunky, ugly slabs of iron on two legs with weapons fixed to them.
JonHOST
If you don't know what I'm talking about, look up Battletech in MechWarrior.
JonHOST
I was going to say, it's
JackHOST
kind of like the Pacific Rim robots.
Austin WalkerHOST
Yeah.
Austin WalkerHOST
Rob, I have a very specific just-for-you question, because I don't think anyone else here has played the Battletech tactics game.
Austin WalkerHOST
Is Jay Morden just Kamea Orano again? No.
Austin WalkerHOST
Not in terms of personality.
Austin WalkerHOST
just go
Ali AcamporaHOST
with the name of the game
Austin WalkerHOST
again? So, Battletech, the 20, the best mech tactics game of all time, one of the best tactics games of all time.
Austin WalkerHOST
Rob, I recently reread your review of that game for...
DuncanHOST
It is.
DuncanHOST
To all the Battletech fans, I know it's called a Timberwolf.
DuncanHOST
I know.
DuncanHOST
That's his message.
RogPANELIST
If I remember something like that.
RogPANELIST
So
DuncanHOST
Matt, MechWarrior is in the Battletech universe, which has basically been largely unchanged in its rule system since 1985.
DuncanHOST
And the role-play game uses the same core combat mechanics as the actual miniatures game, so that they interchange easily.
