Until the Clans showed up, of course. Then everything got too silly for my tolerance.<br /><br />Barking Alien: I've actually gone and done some work porting BT to Mekton. Starting with the heat scale. Heat is Battletech's signature, what sets it apart from the other giant robot games.<br /><br />And issue 9 of Different Worlds magazine also had "role-playing" rules for advancing the skills of Ogres AND the boss in the Command Post.

Also, I was always more of a RPG guy and not much of a minis/wargame guy. That said the universe of Battletech is pretty cool and I've always toyed with porting it over to a Mekton game.<br /><br />Was there ever a RPG for Ogre? I can't seem to recall one. A GURPS supplement perhaps?Adam Dicksteinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04840144928096089178noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7652921.post-45880563406538312112009-10-08T08:33:35.762-05:002009-10-08T08:33:35.762-05:00BattleTechnology issue #2:

...I still love OGRE/GEV, but that's just me...<br /><br /><br />Strange question for you though sir - I recall years ago during a friend's early Battletech exploration there was a magazine for the genre out with the first article on their "setting" ninjas in the background - came with a short story etc, would have been the 1987/1988 timeframe - any chance anyone knows where I could get a copy?
