A TIME OF WAR

It is the 31st century. Mankind has spread to the stars and spawned titanic stellar empires, each controlling hundreds of worlds across a thousand light years and beyond. Yet the sins of man have followed him from the cradle of humanity.

Political machinations of feudal lords plunge whole sectors into war; unscrupulous merchant starship captains smuggle weapons to their own faction’s enemies; greedy military commanders demand tribute from worlds they’re protecting; animalistic pirate kings harvest high technologies and human slaves in lightning raids; betrayals from oath-bound allies leave honorable soldiers growing cold on forgotten worlds; death at the tip of knife from a concubine turned assassin to avenge a world and love lost: it is a time of war.

What empire will you swear allegiance to: a warrior merchant of House Steiner; the honorbound samurai of House Kurita; the vat-bred warriors of the Clans; a mercenary that fights only for the highest bidder?

Choose your life in the universe: a MechWarrior piloting the thirty-foot-tall BattleMechs that turn the tide of any battle; a spy deep behind enemy lines discovering critical secrets; a merchant carrying critical supplies; a scientist unleashing the latest cutting edge technologies?

How will YOU become a legend?

Are there any published adventures?

Kai Z October 23, 2022 12:34 pm UTC

Does anyone know if there are any content wise changes made or is it just a new cover?

Lots. Point buy is now the main method of character creation (life path is still present if you want), there are pre-built archetypes (similar to the grab-and-go archetype method of Mechwarrior 2nd ed), and of course lots of fixes and such. Enough to justify a reprint of the hardback. :D

Can this game be played without battlemech and mechawarriors characters and still be viable ?

Antonio E July 08, 2021 6:59 pm UTC

PURCHASER

Yes, character creation is pretty flexible. You could easily run a Traveller-like game. Note however that you will need some Technical Readout for starships/vehicles as there are no stats in the book.

Is this PDF the latest version, the one that includes the Errata for version 2.02?

Just bought this, I found there's no rules for mech combat inside. While I understand that this is a spin off from the wargame, I would like to insert some mech action into my rpg game from time to time without having miniatures. So what else do I need to buy to get a couple of mechs and being able to work them with some not too complex rules?

You would want the Battletech: Total Warfare book. That contains all the basic rules for moving not just mechs, but also a wide variety of other vehicles around and blowing stuff up. Tactical Operations steps it up a notch even further which would probably be outside your wanted scope.

Thanks, though that book seems to be quite big, and looking through the index, there doesn't seem to be any mechs described there. I read in other places that these are in Technical Readout's... so maybe I should take a look at those? And use them with tactical combat as described in A Time of War, would that work? What about the BattleMech Manual?

Joseph V May 15, 2018 5:33 pm UTC

Technical readout's have pictures and mech data. Useually just standard layouts of the mech. Record sheets will have the "Mech Char" sheets. All of these are sorted out by year. They will have the mechs new to that era. All record sheets will also have a mech pic. I would also recomend a free program called solaris skunk werks for building your own loadouts

-thank you for the assistance.

I know this is Necro'd but I had the same question - the book itself suggests getting the introductory box set +/- total warfare for the tabletop aspects of mech combat.
it also suggests buying technical readouts for more gear

Hello,

What are the differences with BattleTech: Classic BattleTech RPG I have already bought last year ?

Daniel F April 22, 2019 9:27 am UTC

PURCHASER

This one right? --> https://www.drivethrurpg.com/product/24644/BattleTech-Classic-BattleTech-RPG
I am wondering the something.

Yann E April 22, 2019 6:14 pm UTC

Nope, the one I have is this one : https://www.drivethrurpg.com/product/24644/BattleTech-Classic-BattleTech-RPG?affiliate_id=939306

Andrew O July 21, 2019 10:07 pm UTC

Classic Battletech RPG was the edition that came before Time of War - you'll note that Wizkids was the publisher for CBRPG and Catalyst, the current license wielder, publishes Time of War.

Yann E July 21, 2019 10:08 pm UTC

yes but what are the differences ? I have Classic Battletech.

Formato

Original electronic

Imagen escaneada

Estos productos se crearon escaneando una edición original impresa. La mayoría de los libros más antiguos están en este formato de imagen escaneada, ya sea porque nunca tuvieron un archivo original de diseño digital o porque el editor ya no lo tiene disponible.

Para crear las ediciones de descarga en PDF, cada página se ha procesado con un software de reconocimiento óptico de caracteres (OCR) para tratar de descifrar el texto impreso. El resultado se coloca de forma invisible debajo de la imagen de cada página escaneada para permitir búsquedas de texto. Sin embargo, es muy probable que los textos de libros que estén impresos sobre un fondo gráfico o en fuentes escritas a mano no sean reconocidos por el software OCR y, por tanto, no formen parte de los resultados de las búsquedas. Además, algunos libros más grandes pueden ser reorganizados para que se adapten al sistema y puede que no tengan ese fondo que permite búsquedas.

Para los libros impresos, hemos realizado escaneos de alta resolución de una copia física original del libro. Esencialmente, hemos remasterizado digitalmente el libro. Por desgracia, la calidad resultante en tales libros no es tan alta. Es el problema que tiene hacer una copia de una copia. El texto se puede leer, pero las ilustraciones empiezan a verse oscuras, pixeladas o carentes de tonos de gris. Las fotos pueden desarrollar patrones moiré. Especificamos claramente qué títulos impresos provienen de imágenes escaneadas de libros, para que puedas realizar una decisión de compra informada acerca de la calidad de lo que vas a recibir.

Formato original electrónico

Estos ebooks fueron creados a partir de los archivos originales de diseño digital y, por tanto, se pueden realizar búsquedas en todo su texto. Además, el tamaño de archivo tiende a ser más pequeño que el de los libros de imágenes escaneadas. LA mayoría de los libros más nuevos están en este formato. Tanto las versiones para descarga como para impresión de estos libros deberían tener una gran calidad.
