Mechwarrior Role-playing Resource: Assault on Ingress, A Mechwarrior: Dark Age Role-Playing Game Campaign
Here’s a good resource for Mechwarrior: Dark Age roleplayers – a free online campaign set in the Dark Age. They’ve combined the rules for Mechwarrior RPG 2nd edition with the tabletop rules of Mechwarrior: Dark Age. . .
Here’s a quick introduction from the campaign designer:
”Our campaign begins on the planet Ingress. Ingress has a rich history which is fleshed out nicely on the Comstar Site here, and is also briefly featured in the Chaos March sourcebook which I conveniently own. . . I have already run two long term campaigns using Mechwarrior 2nd edition and the classic Battletech rules, one set on Solaris VII and one set on Outreach, so I had no worries about how the game mechanics would play out. Rather, I was concerned about running a game set in the new timeline and using the new Dark Age rules from Wizkids. . . I do not own the 3rd edition of Mechwarrior but from what I know of it the rules would have been much more difficult to incorporate into the Wizkids tabletop game, so I stuck to the 2nd edition rules which I know quite well and have served me faithfully for years.”
From what I’ve seen, it looks like a well thought-out and detailed campaign setting for Mechwarrior roleplaying. And I love how it incorporates Mechwarrior table top miniatures into the action. Check it out!
