INTERSTELLAR OPERATION BETA RELEASE
Catalyst Game Labs is pleased to announce the Beta release of the sixth core BattleTech rulebook: Interstellar Operations.
“BattleTech has a brilliant community,” said Randall N. Bills, Managing Developer. “As we discovered during the Beta release of A Time of War several years ago, their attention to detail is fantastic, enabling us to publish better books at every step. That dedication still deserves attention.”
With that in mind we’re repeating that previous process, releasing Interstellar Operations in a “Beta Release” PDF book (players will notice there’s no index yet, for example). We’ve started a Interstellar Operations Beta fan input thread on the BattleTech forums. Until the 1st of September [end of day, PST] we’ll be watching the thread to see what problems the community discovers. At that point we’ll address those issues that need work, and then ship the to the printers. Keep in mind, though, that there’s a difference between “error/broken” and “don’t like it that way” when it comes to the rules; the prior is what well be addressing, not the latter.
To thank players for all they’ve done over the years—and for the help in ensuring this book we’ve all waited so long for is the best it can be—we’re inviting all players to submit Interstellar Operations scenarios for potential publication (as we did the Adventure Seeds for A Time of War). Once you’ve bought and downloaded the PDF, please take a look at the following downloads as well:
Interstellar Operations Scenario Samples and Template
Anyone interested in getting a scenario published should generate one using the Sample as a guide, and specifically use the Template when creating the actual scenario. The specifics of the form of these scenarios are still in flux. Player feedback will help to determine that final form…and your submission might not only be chosen, but you might just influence how these scenarios will look as well!
After reviewing the material above and generating your scenarios, post your submission(s) to the Interstellar Operations Scenario thread we’ve started on the BattleTech forums. When you post your scenario(s), please include your name as you wish it to potentially appear in the book if yours is accepted. Catalyst will review those scenarios they find most unique and fitting and will publish several in the final Interstellar Operations book, tweaking and editing as appropriate to fit our publication style.
In order to ensure maximum exposure, Catalyst Game Labs is releasing the PDF at $10 for a limited time. Once a street date for the book is determined (i.e., it’s in our warehouse), Catalyst Game Labs will release the final version of the PDF, with the price returning to the standard $25. Anyone who previously purchased the PDF at $10 will automatically receive a free upgrade to the final PDF.
Where to Purchase the PDF:
