- Reposted by Battletech Queer CommunitySo she's real rough, but I managed to end my loooooong painting dry spell and get some paint on this Nova. He's a Silverroot Keshik Nova, my partner's favourite mech that she discovered through the games - the way she got into the setting.

And vote for Rusty Zimmerman for debut author, too, while you're at it. It'd help us both out a ton. www.goonhammer.com/the-2025-goo...

- Reposted by Battletech Queer CommunityWhen I was just starting to dip my toes into Battletech beyond a passing interest, I first encountered a handful of raging bigots... only to be very quickly swept up into a queer-inclusive discord. And I'm proud to say I now *run* that discord, and we're over a thousand members strong. Seyla!
- Reposted by Battletech Queer CommunityAn interesting read. Whilst Cis myself, the LGBTQ+ gaming community, and the Trans community in particular, have long been staunch allies and supporters I do not deserve, but I do my best to reciprocate, and ensure my spaces are safe and welcoming to them, while actively hostile to bigots.
- Reposted by Battletech Queer CommunityAs a trans woman that's into #Battletech, I have been grateful at the welcoming space my local gaming store has fostered for the LGBTQ+ community as a whole. And the guys I play with there are excited that there's another individual that wants to play Battletech with them.
- Reposted by Battletech Queer CommunityJade Hawk from Battletech, went with a kind of "crow" theme on it, compared to my Blue Jay Phoenix Hawk IIC ....do I need to do a whole bird lance now? #battletech #minipainting
- Reposted by Battletech Queer CommunityMy siblings in the Battletech and wider wargaming community are the trans folks who have welcomed me the most since coming out, and I'll always be grateful for them! They've helped me feel community in times when I struggle to find it anywhere else.
- Reposted by Battletech Queer CommunityReally wish @mechpaintersunion.bsky.social's socials were more active, because I keep writing articles for them and then nobody notices. Anyway, today I talk about scale as applied to #BattleTech miniatures.
- Reposted by Battletech Queer CommunityShe's guarding an important objective.
- Reposted by Battletech Queer CommunityThis is a great read. BattleTech (mentioned in the article) has a ton of trans players and I'd say the vast majority of fandom likes it just fine or, at worst, doesn't care one way or the other because it's more folks to play with. (King Crab by @versusrev.bsky.social)
- Reposted by Battletech Queer CommunityI have just been notified that my book "BattleTech: A Question of Survival", which has won a pile of awards and I really love, was released on Audible today... so... go listen. amzn.to/3LK73Og

- Reposted by Battletech Queer CommunityI've been so excited to announce this zine - we've been cooking on it for a bit, as the #BattleTech community needs more spaces for well-polished short stories. Robot nerds, take a look and send us your submissions!
- As we step foot into an uncertain new year we're announcing the newest BattleTech community initiative organized by the Star League discord server: a brand new fan anthology of short fiction & art by the community, for the community - OUTREACH!
- Outreach is a community effort by the Star League Discord group, the premier LGBTQIA+ BattleTech discord server. For the community, by the community.

- Reposted by Battletech Queer CommunityCheck out this week's Hobby Hangout on our Instagram! www.instagram.com/ca... We want to be able to bring it to Bluesky, but until we can get over that technical hurdle, check out the Hobby Hangout over there. Here are some awesome previews of what was featured this week!
- Highly recommend any folks looking to dip their paws into writing BattleTech fiction to check out Pirate Point as a place to get started Flash fiction is a great way to try writing short, fun scenes to get yourself in the mood for more There's plenty of other ways to contribute too! ☠️
- Theres one month left to write and send in a quick story for Pirate Point. My advice: 1000 words is good for ideas that have low mileage; a joke or a gag, a single crazy scene, one of those "what if" observations. Send something our way! piratepoint.itch.io/pirate-point... #battletech #mechwarrior

- Reposted by Battletech Queer CommunityI love the old #Robotech sculpt of the #Archer.
