I've just created microMechwarrior - a very small, abbreviated set of rules that captures (I hope) the basic mechanics and essence of what a Mechwarrior RPG needs. 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? Worst case, I have something I can use at my WinterWar 2010 Battletech/Mechwarrior/horror sci-fi scenario.

This was also inspired by microlite20 and microlite20 modern. m20 is a 2 page version of the Wizards of the Coast d20 system. And it works beautifully.

Updated microliteMechwarrior rules
Updated with errata and with changes to mechanics for skill/task resolution. Now using TNs tied to stats as well as a more consistent mechanic with Battletech boardgame.
