My gang of MechWarrior 2nd Edition players all use The Drawing Board 1.0.23 for mech design, as Heavy Metal is too expensive and the newer designer (the name escapes me) won't do mixed mechs, and for an RPG set on Solaris IIV that won't cut it. However, there are five technology bases listed in TDB. Clan, InnerSphere, InnerSphere 'C', Mixed InnerSphere Chassis, and Mixed Clan Chassis. Clan and IS I get. Is IS 'C' from the back of Technical Readout 3050 where it talks about techs slapping captured clan weapon systems onto IS mechs? What is the difference between Mixed IS Chassis and IS 'C'? This is kind of important as our game is set pre-invasion. Our team has access to ComStar LostTech as they are undercover ROM agents that have infiltrated a Mafia ran stable as deep cover operatives.

This was stupid and certain to get him into trouble he didn’t need. Trouble. Now that was something he was familiar with. In the four years that he had attended the Robinson Battle Academy, it seemed to follow him everywhere. Not that he didn’t ask for it sometimes; Phineas had a problem with the pecking order at the newly reopened MechWarrior training academy. Technically, anyone who showed potential in piloting a BattleMech, the walking engines of war that dominated the 31st century battlefield, should be able to attend the Robinson Battle Academy, but that wasn’t reality. The limited class seats went to the sons and daughters of the Federated Suns nobility, regardless of ability. The only reason Phineas Black was there was because of his family history.

I went back to the 1st edition of Mechwarrior, as well as some other influences that I've used in other RPG gaming At a digest/booklet size, it clocks in at 6 pages rules, 1 page of "fluff" and 1 paragraph of copyright/legalese. That's compared to the roughly 67 pages of actual rules in MW1 and the 402 page (!!) behemoth that is Time of War beta. It's meant as a "rules light" alternative to the heavier RPGs, as a quick and dirty "beer and pretzels" Mechwarrior RPG. I feel kinda funny sharing it on Catalyst's forum, but perhaps someone here might give it a whirl and see what you think?
