Pirate Point #3
The third issue of the Pirate Point fanzine for BattleTech was released earlier this week. You can download it for free from itch.io: PIRATE POINT: Issue #3.
I made a small contribution to this issue by submitting a picture of the miniatures that I have painted up as pirates. You can see them on page 37.

Pirate Point #1 and Ol’ Jackie
The first issue of the Pirate Point fanzine for BattleTech is now available. You can download a copy for free on itch.io: PIRATE POINT Issue 1.
I submitted an entry for this first issue, and Ol’ Jackie and Hanse’s War is the last item in the zine. It’s a Technical Readout entry for a particularly janky Blackjack from the point of view of a militia member in the Davion Outback during the Fourth Succession War. If for some reason you want to put Ol’ Jackie on the table, here’s a record sheet for her: Blackjack BJ-1 Ol’ Jackie.
Pirate Point: Open for Submissions
Pirate Point is a new fanzine project for BattleTech with a focus on punk style and celebrating the voices of those who too often go unheard. Here’s the announcement by Versus and a link to a document covering what it is and how to submit your work:
Greetings skalliwags of the Inner Sphere and beyond. My name is Versus, and I’m here to announce a new community initiative to create a punk zine that celebrates BattleTech and its queer fandom. This is PIRATE POINT!
Our mission is to launch a biannual digital multimedia zine that features flash fiction, fan art painted miniatures, and whatever else we come up with in order to celebrate the creativity of BattleTech fans and promote a message of diversity and inclusion. We are a fan project in no way affiliated with Topps or CGL, and we are not monetized. In other words, this is all just for fun. PIRATE POINT has been organized by myself with help from the mod team at the Star League discord channel, the community who has previously staged the 2023 and 2024 Pride Anthologies.
PIRATE POINT will be focusing on promoting queer identity creators, but Allys are welcome to submit material as well. Submissions will open up in the next couple of weeks and close in February. Until then, I hope you have some neat ideas!
GO MAKE SOMETHING!
WHAT IS PIRATE POINT? We are a creative punk fanzine centered around the LGBTQA+ Battletech community. Pirate Point was created to provide a record for fans of stompy robots to express ourselves. Pirate Point is 100% free, made by fans for fans, and has no affiliation with Topps or CGL. Battle...
