About the adventure
Form a mercenary company in the innersphere. Play a mechwarrior, tank commander, aerospace fighter pilot, technician, or other role.

As a mercenary you have the freedom to take contracts from any of the major houses, or the periphery states.
Game style
Rules as Written (RaW)
Games that are ran “Rules as Written” emphasize realism and stick to the letter of the rules, allowing players to explore creative solutions while still operating under a consistent rule set. Players have the ability to utilize the rules in creative ways to create awesome characters and moments in the game.
Theater of the Mind
“Theater of the Mind” uses little to no visuals for scene settings and combat. Instead, the narrative imagery comes from the Game Master’s descriptions and character action and movement comes from Players’ descriptions.
Combat Heavy
“Combat Heavy” games emphasize the combat mechanics within their systems over roleplay or puzzle solving. There are frequent and longer battles with enemies and a greater emphasis on tactical game play.

I will try and touch on all the main points of being a GM, from my POV. I have been playing weekly with David for over 3 years David is a hard-working, dedicated GM who goes the extra mile to create a good atmosphere. You see it in all the small/big things like the Foundry server, use of music/mood, etc. He knows the rules deeply but doesn't bring his ego into it and when he makes a mistake is candid and frank. While not a trained voice actor, he does a nice job of bringing life to the NPCs and giving them personality. He does not hold that party's hand. He gives the players complete agency. If you succeeded on a knowledge check and found that the critter is immune to fire and two rounds later the wizard wants to cast a fireball, David happily accommodates them. In summation, David is easy going yet earnest and dedicated and creates a great gaming experience.
