[QUOTE="Hussar, post: 7135290, member: 22779"] As was mentioned, it IS a thread about why FR is hated. I keep trying to get someone to sell the setting to me but, the only responses I get are either, "Well, ignore the setting material" or "don't use the setting". Neither of which is a ringing endorsement of the setting. I can totally get what you're saying. And, to boot, it really depends on whether you're looking for a wargame or an RPG. But, yeah, there's a bloody mountain of background material in Battletech. And, yuppers, I can see that as a huge turn off for trying to get into the game. As a Battletech fan, I do have to say that the Catalyst Games stuff is very good. Their Basic Box covers the game pretty darn well and if you pick up one of the Tech Readouts (3025 is my favorite period - I have no love for the clan stuff that comes later), you're good to go for the wargame. But, yeah, I can totally sympathise. ----- For me, and this is purely my selfish wishes here and certainly not what I expect from WotC, I LOVE the setting guides for the Magic the Gathering game that have come out recently. The three guides that have come out so far are about 40 pages long, chock a block with TONS of flavor, and very much what I want for a setting. Add a decent couple of maps and I would gladly play in any of those three settings for years. [/QUOTE]
