This blog is devoted to the development of a ruleset for use with anthropomorphic futuristic war machines made famous by Robotech and Battletech. This is a project devoted to converting ideas presented in these tabletop games to a more 4th Ed feel, and this blog is really geared toward those of us working on the idea.
