MechWarrior (role-playing game)

The MechWarrior role-playing game has three editions and many expansions and adventures, the first of which was published in 1985 by FASA, bringing Japanese style mecha to an American audience. In addition, numerous fictional novels have been written that both create and flesh out the BattleTech world by such authors as Michael A. Stackpole. There is also an animated series.

In order to reduce confusion between WizKids' MechWarrior: Dark Age games and the MechWarrior roleplaying game, FanPro renamed the MechWarrior roleplaying game as "Classic Battletech RPG" upon reprinting it in 2007.
