I just keep finding out terrible people are making war games, and I'm sick of it. So I need to start making my own and promoting fellow creators.
I've decided to publish a #BattleTech campaign system I was working on to Itch. I'd say it's about 80% rules complete, but I've not been able to play-test it myself. If you were looking for something a little different from Chaos Campaigns, maybe give it a go? avernus-labs.itch.io/battletech-f...

I am "proud" to announce our first BattleMech made by committee of 67 participants! The 50-ton Pshara PSH-4RA. It's shit, and none of you who voted on this are getting what you wanted. PERFECT! In the thread below, I'll detail how these decisions were made. #BattleTech @battletechcom.bsky.social
Just re-posting to make sure everyone who participated knows what we've "accomplished" #BattleTech

The survey to build a BattleMech by committee expires in just a little over 2 days! This is your last chance to help make something truly awful. Be sure to throw in some spoiler votes! Survey closes 3 Aug. 2026, 11:59 PM GMT+8 #BattleTech @battletechcom.bsky.social docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...
Two more days! If these votes are too normal, I might not have to build anything custom at all. I will be checking MekBay against the results to see if there's an off-the-shelf solution. It's the committee's job to make sure I can't! #BattleTech

And, lastly (at least for now), are my OC merc company, the New Dallas Rangers. This paint scheme is based off the colors I chose when I played MechCommander 2 for the first time. #BattleTech @battletechcom.bsky.social
Next up is my SLDF force, which I'm especially proud of! My favorite part of this is the Mongoose stealth / no stealth. #BattleTech @battletechcom.bsky.social
Did you know you can sign up for a free Stardust account? You get several free lore articles, announcements via email (you can turn them off), and the first novella when it drops this October. And of course, yet more to come. Our Voidfarers can upgrade or downgrade at any time, no gimmicks.
Stardust
Stardust is an original transmedia sci-fi universe from Sublight Games.

We didn't like the way Patreon did things, so we built our own, just for Stardust. (Don't worry, we'll be there, too.) Can we get the number of free accounts to 100 before launch in October? ☺️

So far I've been sharing only my favorite paint schemes for #BattleTech but failure is part of learning! Here are some of my disappointments, my Rasalhague & Steiner minis. Neither turned out how I'd hoped,* but I got better! @battletechcom.bsky.social *The Devastator & Marauder turned out okay!
Today I'm posting my Federated Suns minis! Again, these results are all thanks to @thearmypainter.bsky.social 's speed paints!, but the blue stripes were done with Sharpie Creative Markers. #BattleTech @battletechcom.bsky.social
Announcing Ichor Magazine, an amateur magazine of sword and sorcery touched by the sublime. A home for new authors dipping their pen into the violet ink of unknown horror. Not ready for a NESS submission yet? We may be your perfect intro market. Opening for subs September 1st 2026
Took a bunch of photos of my #BattleTech minis, and plant to post a few a day! All painted using Speed Paints from @thearmypainter.bsky.social Have a look at this Magistracy of Canopus force! @battletechcom.bsky.social
Who wants to help me build a BattleMech by committee? Still taking responses for a little over a week! docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F... #BattleTech
Have I done anything productive? No. But I did buy a blind box of Jurassic World mini figs
hey folks, im uh, once again, really short on rent and i really need the money. I'm very open to negotiating on price as long as some commissions come in. i'll work with whatever your needs are and i'll even give discounts if you order 4 or more miniatures or enough of anything else.
Dark Web Lesbian Razgriz@dwlesbianrazgriz.bsky.social · 3w agoi know this is a total longshot but maybe one of you would be interested in commissioning me to design miniatures or game pieces for you? I specialize in aircraft and spacecraft, both original designs or based on references, as well as game pieces and terrain. Flexible pricing! Expect $150 each.
RIP absolute legend, Sam Neill. I've never heard a bad story about you, and I hope that never changes. Your performances in Event Horizon and In the Mouth of Madness are genuinely unforgettable and will influence the art I make until I die.
The Build a 'Mech by Committee survey is continuing until the end of July! Looks like keeping pilots alive is a little more expensive than most people care to bother with, but maybe they'll get like a single MedKit like out of an FPS. #BattleTech forms.gle/iZSfkEprt94G...
Completed my obligatory Magistracy of Canopus force for #BattleTech Meant to be 1st/2nd Canopian Brigade colours.
Got 24 answers so far in my survey to build a Medium BattleMech by committee, and so far it looks like we'll be building a 50-ton 'Mech if trends continue like this. If you, too, want to build a 'Mech that disappoints you on EVERYTHING you wanted, you can! #BattleTech forms.gle/iZSfkEprt94G...
I want to know what would happen if you built a 'Mech for #BattleTech by committee because it'd be funny. Since the 3rd Star League is just not corrupt enough, and the 1st Star League doesn't have enough weird tech, this is for an imaginary 4th Star League: docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...

It has, just in general, been a very productive day for painting! Here's a Frankenmech for #Battletech made of cobbled together pieces of other 'Mechs, each indicated by different color schemes from my other minis.
