WELCOME TO MONDAY, YOU WEIRDOS!

Cursed: SVT-40 in .30-06 or M1 Garand in 7.62x54R?

Question: Say you're teaching someone who's new to BattleTech how to play the tabletop game for the first time. What mech, or mechs, do you give them to best demonstrate the mechanics of the game? What do you play against them with? Bonus question: In your opinion, what is the most beginner-friendly mech in each of the four main weight classes (Light/Medium/Heavy/Assault)?

Do you have a favorite plane, be it military or civilian?

Question: Are there any stories in Battletech that you aren't thrilled to tell? As one of a few examples I have noticed you have avoided the houses so far, whether out of practicality (my own take on it) or lack of interest.

@Tex please tell Discount Dan I want more Discount BattleTech, I was promised more and have received NONE after Dicount Tukkyid and that was over a year ago, what happened? Was his body found in a dumpster behind the Golden Coral? All I have is questions.

Glad to hear longform gun conversation. I also think this method for fans picking future TTB content is very fair.

During one of the Mechwarrior 5 livestreams, someone else legitimately asked about the RATTLER MK2, that wasn't me! I burst out laughing, toast to ten years of the BPL and here's to TWENTY more!? Have you ever tried sugar-free Ice Cream sandwiches? They're fantastic!

Are there any battletech books that you would consider to be a good jumping off point for a relative newbie? I like to listen to audiobooks as I work.

What if the aliens only intervene during an apocalyptic event because they haven't finished cataloging all the different species of algae? Also, any new books you're reading?

James Detmer

Hey Tex! Thanks for the updates on Farcry 5 W/ Deputy. That was one of the first things I watched of yours that wasn't battletech-centric, and got me more interested in the BPL as a whole. Glad to hear that there's more on the way!

In New York City you always go to the hot dog carts that advertise the Kosher hot dogs. Who knows what is in the hot dog water, but you know it is real meat in the hot dog.

I can totally understand why you would wait until monday, but if I was crashing at someone's house and they said that, I would laugh my ass off. Have you been following the recent novel releases and the lead-up to the ilClan era? I've been kind of seeing the smoke clouds in the distance and from what I hear things are getting weird.

I was amazed at the creativity of uranium jail, ensuring both that prisoners are too weak to escape, the organ and appendage retrival is entirely microbe free, and, if they DO manage to break out and crawl away at night, they will have enough leiden lumenescence that they will only provide useful target practice for the BPL asset recovery department! ♡

Have you played Aliens: Another Glorious Day in the Corps? Super fun in a group and easy to get everyone up to speed. Aliens is the pinnacle of cassette futurism to me.

Updates are just on Monday now. I've adjusted, not a big deal lol

Do you need more art?
