|- Important Note: This game exists in the database for its functionality as an expansion to BattleTech, and not as an RPG. It is the 31st century. Across the vastness of interstellar space, awesome powers vie for supremacy. Amidst this swirl of unending conflict stride BattleMechs, huge robotic weapons of war piloted by elite MechWarriors. Join the action, taking on any one of an endless variety of roles, from spy to smuggler, mercenary to MechWarrior. As a character from the Inner Sphere, the Clans or the Periphery, you will decide the ultimate fate of the galaxy. Enter the exciting BattleTech universe, stepping outside of your BattleMech and embracing the richness of a vast, detailed science fiction setting. Classic BattleTech RPG contains all the rules and source material players and gamemasters need, including a unique character creation system that generates game abilities and background story at the same time. Time to let your imaginations soar! Important Notice: Classic BattleTech RPG is a fourth printing of MechWarrior, Third Edition, with only the cover image and title of the book changing. No other changes have been made to the text. Expands: BattleTech
