BattleTech Community @battletechcomms.bsky.social · Jan 22
BattleTech is us 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️
NOTE: Alt text cropped to fit I'm Detocroix. I started this BattleTech Community project in July 2021. Since then I have also organized and edited BattleTech Pride Anthology twice, I have made a lot of queer BattleTech art, if you've seen enamel pins, stickers, charity shirts, or some other BattleTech Pride stuff over the years, you've probably seen something I've made. I just want people to enjoy and feel welcome, I want people to feel safe with this hobby. I don't make stuff for myself, I make things for the queer community, I make neat things *for you*. While what's going on in US doesn't directly affect me yet, I feel you and I fear for you. There's not much I can do, being this far away, I'm even in the Deep Ass Periphery of Europe. Things are going to go worse before it can become better, and I just want you to survive this. Please. Even with all the rot going on, this place is here for you, this hobby is always for you. There's some amazing people who work for CGL who work on this franchise and they care for you too. There's queer communities that are welcoming where you can find solace and escape in, be it QueerTech/Pride Anthology Discord--our little home within home, or Star League. CGL Discord is also strongly moderated. There are places where you can go, and enjoy the hobby without being exposed to the rot. Just Bluesky is infinitely better than any other platform at this point. There are amazing queer community projects coming this year, something to look up to; we're making Pride Anthology this year too, for the third time. Wild-Cat144 is making a comic anthology. Star League is organizing a Pirate Point fanzine. I know there's other projects too, and this year is very much going to be the queerest BattleTech year ever. Outlive your oppressors, that's the best and worst thing you can do to them. We are here for you, every single day, being stupid with BattleMechs. Just don't give up <3 ~Detocroix

I read Outfoxed, the latest from @swankmotron.com and Fox Patrol's first standalone novel. It's good, wholesome BattleTech for these trying times. My review on Sarna (slight spoilers if you haven't read it yet!).

Can Fox Patrol still be BattleTech's Saturday morning cartoon series in the face of real trauma and loss? Find out in Sarna's review!

It's a spooky season, and if you ask me, genetically engineered giants wearing a battle suit that can rip mech to shreds are damn scary. Especially if it is middle of the night and they have Summoner mech for a company.

BattleTech rules revamp tests for Package 3 (Gear) and Package 4 (Battlefield Support: Aerospace) is available now!

Some personal favs on Gear test;
- UACs can no longer jam
- MRMs no longer get TN penalty, but instead take clustering penalty

Ok, now the Task Force Mercenaries are "Complete™", with the addition of the Pink Archer. Happy to solve thise Level II problems.

Realized there were no LRMs on the team and I had a spare Archer, so pink just made sense. Looks kinda orange in darker light which is cool.

#Hobbystreak day 219. Today was an admin day for the Battletech campaign I am running and I spent most of the day doing prep work. I did finish decals on my Ryuken Roku Awesome and primed and started painting some Lion Guard.

The cover to BattleTech: Outfoxed, the first full novel for Katie Ferraro and the Fox Patrol, goes way harder than should be possible. The book comes out in 13 days. Pre-orders should start soon.

My 1st Band of the Damned lance using the Battletech Gothic minis. Immediately wanted to make a Kurita based pirate band of these models and this seemed like the perfect fit
