HBS Returns to Kickstarter with BATTLETECH

Damit Jordan, Why must you take my money. Why must everything you do speak to me at some personal level.

I took the opportunity to pre-back this project at GenCon. It's $50 to do so, with a set of ten BattleTech merc unit dog tags as the convention promotional item.
Power corrupts.
Absolute power is kinda neat.

Yeah, I need to throw money at HBS again. I don't have SR:R-HK yet but I know this is going to be great. Will this be a back to school present or a Thanksgiving treat or a Holiday present?

The Kickstarter seems off to a good start, already hitting their Stage One goals already.
Do you believe in a greater WIRELESS, an Invisible(WiFi) All Seeing(detecting those connected- at least if within 100'), All Knowing(all online data) Presence that we can draw upon for Wisdom(downloads & updates), Strength (wifi boni) and Comfort (porn) or do you turn your back on it  (Go Offline)?

Going to be watching this one fairly closely...a little surprised that the cord offering doesn't include a campaign, but suspect that Wong be much of an issue.

yeah, good start.

Funded in 52 minitues and now over twice its goal and approaching 3x.
All announced goal in stage 1 funded.

The Nobel House Scion level at 125.00 is very appealing but do I get Kurita, Steiner, or Davion.

I like that they are starting in 3025. Leaves room for lots of DLC before a second full game that introduces Clans.

The $50 level seems tempting just for the bonus Stackpole e-novella . 

The bonus e-novellas and chance for a full on e-novel as Backer missions acrew seems neat as well.

Lots of really neat things about this campaign...timing kind of sucks as there are some other pretty interesting KSers happening: Infinity, Q-Workshop Paizo Dice, Delta Green...sigh... ::)

I'm into Infinity for a digital subscription and Warpath from Mantic is getting more money than i'm willing to admit.

They've cracked 1 million dollars so the single player campaign is funded.  It seems to me they have a realistic chance at getting all the way to stage 4 multi-player (@ 2.5 million.)

I'll be grabbing the $125 House Scion package in a few weeks; either House Davion or House Kurita (I'm leaning towards Kurita). I am really tempted to go for that $275 level pledge though.
