As IO fully spins back up I expect to be posting blogs a lot more frequently about its development and asking for the community to give their input more on this rulebook than perhaps any BattleTech rulebook to date.

(Anything followed by an asterisk is a вЂњfiction/sourcebook sectionвЂќ, as per the standard organization of all the other books.)

At the same time, however, my long work on Leviathans has shown me how a lot of close discussion of rules and direction of content with the community can significantly improve that content.ДЄnother angle on IO is that weвЂ™re delving into one of the most un-charted areas, rules wise, for BattleTech.
