Hmm. The #battletech community seems comparatively lacking. I should start working to build it (while conveniently avoiding the chuds).

@Scolopendra I've been thinking about that for like 2 weeks. There's almost nothing on Masto, and I can't find a single Battletech Video channel on Peertube.

I have several 'mechs I need to get photographed and shared.

We need more #mechwarriors on mastodon...

@j4yc33 Completely concurred--at least there's an opportunity here.

@j4yc33 Heh, yes! I got to introduce my theyfriend to the original while sitting in my car outside of a donut shop wasting time for their flight elsewhere.

Jeff Wayne's Musical Version of the War of the Worlds has a long history in my family.

@Scolopendra It was one of my top played albums of high school for sure. I love giving it a listen to on late nights when I can't sleep with some nice... uh... plants...

@Scolopendra For real though, especially with Megamek, Roll20, Tabletop Playground, and Vassal I'm sure an online lefty #battletech group would be amazing...

@j4yc33 Speaking of VASSAL, I've made (and am still working on) a module for Mechwarrior: Destiny. I've been running my RPG group with it.

@Scolopendra that sounds like something to look at! Destiny and Alpha Strike have always grabbed me with their cinematics when I either don't have an opponent who can/wants to handle all the book keeping of classic or ATOW.

@j4yc33 Yeah, I definitely prefer Destiny's loosey-gooseyness over ATOW (and I used to run MW 3e!). AS is great for larger-scale things.

I also managed to run a murder mystery in Destiny where I as GM didn't know whodunit. Worked out really well.

@Scolopendra Thinking about it, if you have any ideas or whatnot about community building for #MastoTech (#BattleDon ?) SB17 would be willing to host whatever we need!

@j4yc33 Cool! I'll cogitate on it a little.
