Description
Classic BattleTech RPG is the latest role-playing game set in the BattleTech universe. This version is tied to the BattleTech storyline more than the previous iterations, as a character's home determines many aspects of their stats, not just their background. In addition to providing a comprehensive character creation system that builds backgrounds as well as statistics, Classic BattleTech RPG contains a plethora of information so that players who may not be familiar with the BattleTech setting can still jump in and play. Also included is a full-color inset that is designed to give players a quick feel for each major faction.

- This is a FanPro reprint of MechWarrior, Third Edition. This was done to avoid confusion with MechWarrior: Dark Age and its successors. For all intents and purposes, the contents of the two books are identical (with the exception of updated errata).
