Greetings and welcome to my small corner of Sarna!
  
I have been a fan of Battletech since I found the 2nd Edition box in my local bookstore in the mid 80's.  I read the novels in high school and college, ran many a game in the basement of the dorm or in my apartment, and destroyed multitudes of mechs via my pc and various Mechwarrior games.  Admittedly, I have only played the game sparingly over the last few years, but I have been a big fan of the deep and detailed storyline of the Inner Sphere since day one.  I have all of the classic novels, sourcebooks, technical readouts, and more up to the Jihad.  I am working on adding those books to my collection now as I think I can wrap my brain around it.  When the Jihad first appeared, it was a bit of a shock after many other shocks in the universe so I left Battletech for awhile.  But, while my level of involvement has fluctuated, my interest in Battletech has never left me even after almost two decades.

My history with the game goes back to when I found the 2nd Edition box in my local book store in the 1980's.  Since then I have been reading and playing in the BattleMech/MechWarrior universe for almost 40 years!
  
My goal here on Sarna.net is to add those little details from the universe that often get missed as most people focus on the mechs and weapons. Alien species, companies, universities and all the details that give Battletech depth and character.  Also, in my opinion, this would make Sarna a great tool for anyone running a rpg in the universe. As I have run a few of those types of games, having a detailed resource at hand would have made life simpler!

Greetings and welcome to my small corner of Sarna!

My history with the game goes back to when I found the 2nd Edition box in my local book store in the 1980's. Since then I have been reading and playing in the BattleMech/MechWarrior universe for almost 40 years!

My enjoyment for the game universe led me to start editing Sarna over a decade ago and now I am one of the senior editors of Sarna! No idea how that happened!

I am also a demo agent for Catalyst Game Labs and I help run a gaming group in Louisville, KY called the "Louisville BattleTech Network".

I even have a tiny little YouTube channel, The Draconis Rift, where I share some BattleTech videos now and then. And yes, I know I am very behind on that side of things!

Feel free to contact me here or on the Sarna Discord.
