‘BattleTech Universe’ – A Thousand Years of Lore And More Out Now
BattleTech Universe is a new book that details the long history of the Inner Sphere, arming you with the greatest power: knowledge.
A new BattleTech lore book came out today, BattleTech Universe, which takes a look at the more than thousand years of the BattleTech setting. It is an incredible resource for anyone playing in that particular sandbox. Whether you’re running a campaign of BattleTech, or are playing the MechWarrior RPG, you’ll find the extensive history of the BattleTech universe in BattleTech Universe.
BattleTech Universe – The Rich History of the Inner Sphere, the Clans, and More
Why pick up a lore book? For me, it all comes down to inspiration. Whether you’re playing or running an RPG or a tabletop game, it takes a lot to make stuff up whole cloth. There’s a lot of synthesis involved – you take the ideas that inspire you, remix them, and something new comes along, just like how our DNA works, according to that one presentation from Jurassic Park.
This means that you need to take in the details to find the little things that spark your interest or remind you, “Right, this is something I really like about the setting.” One of the biggest things in a campaign setting type book is the gazetteer, which catalogs all of the little points of interest, figures, and events that might be happening in an area.
BattleTech Universe does that for the millennium and change that encompasses the Inner Sphere:
“The rich story of the BattleTech setting has played out across more than a thousand years of future history, encompassing the full sweep of human experience Here, for the first time, that story is presented in one comprehensive volume!
Dive deep into BattleTech lore with this look at the factions of the Innner Sphere, Clans, and Periphery, and learn about key events, personalities, and conflicts for each. Whether you enjoy titanic battlefield clashes, high-stakes covert ops missions, cloak-and-dagger political intrigue, or any other kind of story, you’ll find it in the BattleTech setting.
