Mechwarrior lore, need help. - sindroms - 07-13-2013
Yeah, started playing MWO recently and it seems that the wiki does not offer a lot of explenation for this. I know that MWO is a part of maaaany games with the same setting and world. I was wondering if anyone can point me towards the source or something. A book, novel or something.

You're going to want to, erm, acquire a copy of a 1984 tabletop roleplaying game called BattleTech, by FASA. That's the universe MechWarrior takes place in.

Novels that are good...
RE: Mechwarrior lore, need help. - Kazinsal - 07-13-2013
The classic BattleTech era novels are great.
EDIT: Regardless, your definitive source is the 1984 RPG. Take it or leave it.

I found about 16 of them a while ago, and they are great novels. i think, after the 84 RPG, the original battletech novels woudl be your best bet.

Most of the best mechwarrior novels are the ones written by Michael Stackpole, and the Gray Death Saga, and Robert Thurston's Jade Phoenix Trilogy, imo.
(and I own over 40 Battletech books, just fyi. It was kinda my thing back in the day.
