Age: 18+ Background of the Saga: You're signed on with a hard luck mercenary unit working near the Periphery that has only been in operation for a few years.

Game style
Roleplay Heavy
“Roleplay Heavy” games place the focus on the story, the characters, and the world they live within, and tend to lean hard into the various roleplaying elements of the game. These games will frequently find the party talking with NPCs, exploring the personal elements of their backstories, or even having emotional moments around the camp fire.
This game is play by post. the GM will post at least three times per day on the Discord. The setting is a small mercenary unit in the Periphery, before and during the 3049 Clan invasion.

Gameplay details
Multiple posts per day but players can think about their responses. Session zero will cover player expectations and posting guidelines. GM will have a channel for private feedback as well as a public channel for Clips and Highlights. Players can expect relatively long stretches of daily play by post narrative play of the characters within the unit or on individual or collective infantry/ espionage/ sabotage/ assault, etc. missions broken up by military style engagements with aerotech, Mecha, armored and wheeled vehicles, and infantry, set within the BattleTech universe of the inner sphere. Most of these other than small side skirmishes will be handled by megamek software.

How will character creation work
Mechwarrior RPG second edition will be the rule set used... but you are allowed to use MechWarrior 3rd Edition or classic BattleTech RPG rules for disadvantages. Pre generated characters will be available, or you can do your own. Characters should be ready to go before the player actually enters the game.
