So with the announcement here, what do you think the mash up is?  It says there's a hint in the art for the previous article, but I have no idea.  I don't really care about Battletech, but am curious.

I'm betting that Racter's bot Koschei is the first Battletech.

There is also a whole new twitch Chanel that is scheduled to have a night or Mechwarior RPG gameplay, a night of Batteltech tabletop gameplay, and 'More table top to come'

maybe another aveneu for Shadowrun as well, but the dates line up for debuting the new channel and its content.

I don't think it's a mashup, but rather some new that will benefit both lines...i.e. bringing back all the FASA fiction, graphic novels, etc.

Disclaimer: my opinion only...no insider info in this one, sorry.

It's going to be big.
It's going to be impressive.
It's going to be historic.
Power corrupts.
Absolute power is kinda neat.

Yup. It's where my title over at the BattleTech forums came from. "LBI Shareholder"

Well, just saw these pop up on DTRPG:

Shadowrun Legends: Choose Your Enemies Carefully (Secrets of Power, Vol. 2)

Shadowrun Legends: Find Your Own Truth (Secrets of Power, Vol. 3)

Suspect we'll see an announcement about "Shadowrun Legends" shortly :)

How's that mash up with Battletech though?  And am I reading that these are novels right?
