Author Topic: Looking to add more fan made TROs/Sourcebooks to Battletech Fandom Wiki (Read 12799 times)

Wrangler · « **on:** 15 December 2019, 10:08:38 »

Hi Guys & Gals
My hobby (strangely as it is) is archiving the good works everyone works hard on. I want these labors of love have home where others can find them.

That being said, the wiki has eight known Fan-Made TROs in this Category and Sourcebooks.

If anyone knows of a TRO, source books etc that are missing. Please let me know or you can also edit the wiki yourselves and add them to the site.

Thank you!
Wrangler

Someday, I will find the guts to try and put together Fanbook:Kowloon and the Ngo-verse to include Ngoverse specific designs done up in the correct format with fluff.

come to think on it, I should probably subcontract that part out, shouldn't I?

The Ngoverse fanbook, I imagine, would heavily detail that fanfic 'verse in terms of TO&E, equipment in use by era, and all that 'backgrounding' for fun stuff like the Arluna Flu, Elbar Declaration, Ngo family line, and so on.

I wonder if I'd have volunteers to do the art?

I don't know about volunteers, but I have to say Plog has VERY reasonable commission rates...

How come? Fan books are just fan books.

mikecj · « **Reply #5 on:** 15 December 2019, 14:46:59 »

TAG'd. Some of the fan sourcebooks are fantastic.

Wrangler · « **Reply #6 on:** 15 December 2019, 16:19:27 »

If you guys have some, please post HERE or if you don't want to message me and i will put them wiki.

I think wiki be great depository for fan-stories as well, but it's up to you folks. However, i think having them in PDF form or something be easier to put on the wiki or linked to a cloud.

Definitely sounds like fun

Lost my design for a wheeled gun design I made on the solaris7.com web site (single Gauss rifle, 10 pts each to sides and rear, and ~200 pts of armor in the prow), otherwise I'd toss that up for the database

Wrangler · « **Reply #8 on:** 18 December 2019, 07:51:58 »

Not problem. Wiki is good for anything. Anyone can edit. I have spare time i will add things as i go.
From Legend website to mentioning long gone or hard finf websites.

Wrangler · « **Reply #12 on:** 21 December 2019, 00:32:33 »

I'm slowly adding entries into the wiki. I just did my first one, Technical Readout: N & B. (Nuts and Bolts) from the Solaris 7 Website 2005.
So far i've not seen away to attach pdf to the wiki yet. I'm still learning. I wish i could contact some of folks who made this stuff to get permission.

Me, too! Wrangler, son - we need to talk. And don't forget to send me an email addy.

...I'm running out of enthusiasm and space, and haven't updated it for months... I was going to volunteer to work on the fiction site, but life is continually raising its ugly head, and I'm 50 this month. I'm just hanging on for CGL to get their act together and put out Shattered Fortress in late '20-'21 and end the Clan story arc, and I'm done. I haven't been able to play TT for years, now, and fan stuff has been the only source of interesting, creative work for most of a decade.

Ahh i was wondering what happened your post. I thought it was pinned.
I'm slowly working on wiki. My time limited time to time.

Some of your Sourcebooks (first 2) are listed. I will see Knightmare's stuff is there.

Main pain i found is adding sources (uploading) for place books arent anymore. I get dad nervious if i dont have permission. I do have Sarna editor in me.

Red Pins · « **Reply #17 on:** 23 December 2019, 13:15:38 »

PM sent, Wrangler.

Most of the OBT books are there, or the popular ones anyway. I confess to picking and choosing somewhat.

You know, you could just post links to these sources - as long and they're kept up, it should keep you at arm's length and keep dad happy.

Some links are private accounts. Which i would think its no no. Some sources are gone for good. Best i can do get still remains and list contents all the books i can read.

Red Pins · « **Reply #19 on:** 23 December 2019, 17:45:20 »

Hmm. Pass me the list of what you can't get; I might have it.

Wrangler · « **Reply #20 on:** 24 December 2019, 22:24:43 »

OK, i've added the listing for second volume of TRO: Nuts & Bolts II to wiki.
Bare in mind, i am unable to upload this to the Fandom wiki because way it's setup. I apologize. This and original N & B's website is gone. There appears to no place hosting it.

Link to Solaris7? Thanks!

Red Pins · « **Reply #24 on:** 25 December 2019, 01:24:25 »

Yup. In my list. The writer apparently had a design competition with his sons - wish I could do that. :'(

Ok, so i'm posting that i've listing for the Shadow Lands: The House Amaris Sourcebook on the Battletech Fandom Wiki.

Only problem is specially these "homeless" pdfs i am extremely grateful for, the wiki appears to have no place upload them. I'd love to have a cloud sort of storage for anyone to get these creations from.
