MechWarrior RPG - every 3rd Thursday of the month from 6-10pm

You just signed the contract.

Welcome to Mercenary Rising, a homebrew BattleTech RPG campaign where you play a newly recruited MechWarrior joining a large, established mercenary command in the Inner Sphere.

You’re not a legend.
Not yet.
You’re the new hire — and you’ll have to earn your place.

🛠 Your Role

Each player starts as a fresh mercenary recruit:

• Recently discharged House soldier

• Clan bondsman seeking a second life

• Periphery pilot looking for steady pay

• Noble’s disgraced heir with something to prove

• Technician-turned-MechWarrior thrown into the cockpit

You’ll take on contracts, fight battles, and build your reputation inside the company.

💰 Campaign Structure

This is an ongoing progression campaign built around:

✔ Contract-based missions
✔ Salvage rights & payout negotiations
✔ Mech upgrades and customization
✔ Pilot skill growth
✔ Reputation and internal politics

Money matters.
Salvage matters.
Decisions matter.

The better you perform, the better your pay — and the sooner you upgrade from that starter chassis to something that actually scares the enemy.

🎭 Roleplay + Combat

This campaign blends:

• Out-of-Mech Roleplay

  • Barracks politics

  • Command briefings

  • Negotiating contracts

  • Rivalries within the unit

  • Technician and logistics decisions

• Full Mech Combat

  • Tactical battlefield engagements

  • Objective-based missions

  • Terrain-driven strategy

  • Heat management & ammo discipline

  • Consequences for reckless pilots

Expect meaningful customization and tactical depth.

🔧 Customization Focus

Players will have significant control over:

• Loadouts

• Variant refits

• Armor allocation

• Tech upgrades

• Personal pilot development

Salvage from missions can change your entire trajectory.

Blow out an enemy’s leg clean? That mech might be yours next month.

🎲 Experience Level

• Beginner-friendly

• Veterans welcome

• Rules will be taught at the table

Whether you're new to BattleTech or a hardened Clan loyalist, there’s room in the dropship for you.
