Word of Blake

If anyone is wondering about the title of my blog, it's from a sci-fi universe for which I write and create maps, called Battletech. There are two miniature games set in said universe, Classic Battletech and Mechwarrior: Dark Age.

In addition, several computer/console games has been set in the universe, including the MechWarrior series (1-4) and most recently MechAssault 1 and 2.

This is a universe which is constantly moving forward, and which is covered in soon almost 100 novels and dozens of sourcebooks.

And all about giant human-controlled robots killing eachother :)
