After the thoughtful advice of KillerDM, I have created a new group: The RPGBomb MegaMek League. So, anyone interested in tourney play, (or just playing!) please feel free to join up! We've got a spiffy new logo and everything. We hope to have organized play as well as free match-ups.

Regarding my previous blog post, players interested in a tourney or ladder of some sort should join the League group. Enjoy!... Read More

Interested parties, send me a message...
 EDIT: Scratch that. If you are interested, please join the RPGBomb MegaMek League group. Enjoy!... Read More
