FASA founder Jordan Weisman has bought back the rights to MechWarrior, Shadowrun, Crimson Skies and the other properties of the FASA catalog after the recent closure of the FASA Interactive studios by Microsoft. Weisman also launched Smith & Tinker which now owns the licenses, and while it is too early to announce future plans, the goal is to surprise and delight old fans, while welcoming new fans to these fantastic worlds.

I'm Ready for MECHWARRIOR 5!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I still remember their (really old) pen and paper RPG/boardgame that had no concept of dodge or saving throw. Just pray opponent action isn't successful.

sa later boardgame rules may dodge/saving throw na ba?

up to 3050 lang kasi na rules ako familiar.

To celebrate, I'll be hosting a MegaMek game soon (if it works). Latest MegaMek version here:

http://sourceforge.net/project/downloading.php?groupname=megamek&filename=MegaMek-v0.32.2.zip&use_mirror=nchc

First planned game is purely IS 3025/26 tech for nostalgia's sake. Will post details soon.

Hmm... Balik sa FASA eh? Does this mean the end of Wizkidz' Mechwarrior AoD clix line? Di ko pa nga nalalaspag yung base ni "Seka's Pride" eh! hehe

Megamek test...pitted my Locust 3V and WASP 1A3 vs two Urbanmechs (bot)...I got massacred

That's the original meadow map that came with BTech the boardgame...This is as classic as it can get.

speed vs firepower = firepower wins... hehehe

kahit mabagal ang urbanmech, may autocannon naman sya.

Yes speed vs firepower test...I just ran across the map like crazy pero inabutan pa rin ng AC

Galing na ng MegaMek, very polished and talagang you can set up ANY scenario found in the sourcebooks. Pati tanks, mech. infantry, choppers, elementals...you name it.
