I went to my LGS last night after seeing posts all day about how scarce this expansion was. My LGS had plenty of copies on the shelf and a great discount.

I am trying to avoid FOMO purchases, but with Fantasy Flight I can’t tell anymore how long any product will be available.

Anyway, when I get the chance to play it, it will be ready to go. The set is really nice and I like the campaign as I was sleeving it.

Happy gaming everyone!

I picked this up today on my lunch break. New to the game but a longtime tabletop RPG player, I am hoping to play in my local Pathfinder Society games, I have the Player Core and saw this on sale so I picked it up. It’s 2nd Ed, but I was told it’s not 2nd Ed Remastered. I guess what I am wondering is the lore, maybe not the mechanics, still good so that I can learn about the factions and how “in game” the PFS operates?

I am assuming that I can go to Paizo and download any table rules I need to be aware of?

Thanks in advance for the assistance.

I have only “rediscovered” BattleTech within the last year. I really got into learning how to paint the miniatures, reading about the lore, and muddling through a handful of tabletop games at a local game shop.

Recently I griped about how another player “took advantage” of my inexperience on a game night. I probably made the other guy sound a little bit like a jerk, but the more I have thought about it, I think I played a major part in that game.

I really don’t know the rules. I have them, but I just always skimmed them and went to a table and to be fair, I made my opponents suffer through my lack of knowledge of the actual rules. Really, if I learn the rules, I can actually contribute to the gaming community, and protect myself from folks stretching the rules to their favor.

All this being said, I found an online learn to play guide and started tonight with first lesson, Movement and the Basics of Shooting. Two 1V1 skirmishes with me controlling both mechs. I feel embarrassed to say that I actually learned a lot.

If you are still reading this and are probably shaking your head, I get it. My point is that sometimes I need to crack open the rules and actually learn them. There are 15 lessons to play through, a journey journal that I am keeping for questions I have and what I am learning. I will not go back to my local game shop to play until I finish this tutorial, and I think it’s for the best.

I feel like I am should leave a G.I.Joe-esque PSA:

Knowing is half the battle. The other half is not to make Comstar angry.
