NO, that stuff made a lot of players quit back in Battletech Pen & Paper. WoB/Jihad Timeline was a major f-up, too fubar for anything.

Isn't that like 20 years from now?

Why would people leave the pen and paper game over it? Wasn't it just a bunch of crazies who controlled terra and COM Star starting a massive was with like everyone?

Jihad by conservatives shouldn't ruin a game, it just puts people into 2 factions, instead of 12+.

The Word of Blake does not split from Comstar until 3053, and its Jihad does not begin until 3067. Such a Faction campaign would involve nukes and poison gas attacks, and lead to the disintegration of the Free World League, which harbored it.

As someone who sadly, missed out on the bliss witch was BT Tabletop...

WHY?

Why did it ruin tabletop, in what way did it ruin it, and why would it ruin a game like MWO?

Some concrete reasones for us who only dabble in the lore? (BT WIKI)

Aside from the lore which I just don't care for (especially the devlin stone republic of the sphere stuff). Plus the fact everything in this era was designed to support the clicky abomination first.

Protomechs
Superheavy mechs (>100 tons)
Land air mechs (it's an aerospace fighter AND a mech)

Plus some serious power creep on IS components and weapons
Compact engines and gyros,
hardened armor (you get half as much armor per ton but it absorbs twice as much damage so you can carry double the armor you normally could, combine with XXL engines for extra lolz)
XXL engines
Plasma Rifles (long range ammo fed flamers that hit like a PPC and add extra heat when they hit)
Thunderbolt missiles (does 5,10, 15, or 20 damage at up to 18 hexes, AMS has 50% change of shooting it down)

If mwo adds this kind of crap in... I'll walk. In TT I can just choose to not play in that era. In mwo, I can't.
