You know you where never a problem.
But had to make the statement since in the past others have tried to push there ideas even after I said no.

P.O.L.
Have been working on organizing the Current/New files and purging Old ones for some time now, their are a lot. (160 Files, 13 Folders after cleaning)
Plan on working on it most of this weekend, so will have some updates later this week.

Progress is progress! :)

When TRO: 3050 came out, I didn't have rules for the Clans until MW2e came out.  I tend to separate the Clans from the Inner-Sphere; I'll run a game, were all the PCs are Clans or, they're all Inner-Sphere (Kurita, Fourth-Succession War campaign, in MW2e, etc. Now that the new stuff has come out, I'd like to run a Clan/Inner-Sphere integrated 3145 game.

Oh, yeah.  BattleTroops, itself was a fine game.  Since I don't know anything about MW 1st ed, I kinda wonder if that was the inspiration for the format chosen.  . . .

Not even close; the one thing I like about Fasa, is they were very creative with their gaming-systems.  Every system (Shadow-Run, Legionnaire etc.), is different.  Every game-system is different than the previous one, no matter if they are a part of the same game-line.

This is more true then anyone really gets. Running a mixed campaign is close to impossible before the Jihad and to me the forced integration of the two has greatly undermined the Battletech universe.

Except that Shadowrun DMZ is almost a carbon-copy Battletroops. 

That said, this their are a lot of similarities between some of the game lines. (MW2 and Shadowrun 2nd Priority tables)
And The differenced within the game lines has lead to a lot of the issues with integrating the different combat arms without having to nurf one or the other.
So this is not always a good thing.

Looking forward to the update

P.O.L.
Just to let everyone know, there have been not real updates because most of what I have been working on is Master page design, and converting existing files to new fonts and, layout work on areas that do not need much or any changes.

Progress is progress, thanks for the update! :)

If you ever get to a point with the life path system that you think you can turn it into a path style game board, I want to see it.   I still think the Life Path system could be turned into a stand-alone board game.

Sorry for the long wait for no progress.
Unfortunately I have been down for the last two months with Bronchitis with major complications do to a thyroid issues that has had me in and out of the hospital.
Still not fully recovered so I can't give any real plan moving forward, but will see what the next few months allow for.

Get well soon!  Chronic medical conditions are the worst (outside of the acute issues that kill you outright)... :/
