Seven Days of Battletech News
Wow.
What a week its been. There has been so much news pouring out I don’t know where to start! There are some exciting things on the horizon for our game and I am going to remain cautiously optimistic for the time being. I trust the folks at Catalyst to do what is best for their company and thus Classic Battletech.
Here is a whirlwind recap in case you have been under a rock the last five or so days.
November 10th, Wizkids Games is Closed by Topps
Original story here. A sad day for a lot of people and a significant source of uncertainty for many more. I remember picking up the original Mage Knight game when it debuted. I credit that game with getting me into the world of miniatures.
November 15th, Chaos Campaign and Jihad Turning Points Luthien
Original post here. Two amazing products and one of them is free. At a low price point of $5, the Turning Points series is a great buy for anyone interested in the Jihad or the Chaos Campaign system. I plan on posting a mini-review of each shortly.
November 15th, Catalyst Adds Dark Age to the List of Eras
Original story here. Not much surprise here. As the Jihad continues the timeline will inevitably creep closer to the Republic of the Sphere dominated Dark Age. This move was symbolic in nature and solidifies Catalyst’s dedication to the continuation of the Classic Battletech story line well after the Word of Blake meets it’s inescapable end.
November 17th, Catalyst Submits Offer for Wizkids Properties
Original story here. There was speculation early that this might be a possibility. I would have thought that with the timeline and product release schedule planned out, such a move would not be needed until closer to the end of the current license agreement.
There is a lot to talk about. I will get to it all in time. Exciting stuff to look forward to.
Keep an eye on the site for more frequent updates in the near future.
