About the adventure

Form a mercenary company in the innersphere. Play a mechwarrior, tank commander, aerospace fighter pilot, technician, or other role. Find contracts, manage logistics, hire new personel, fight battles, and try to turn a profit in the war-torn innersphere. 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.
