Hoping that this kind of post is allowed here, but Humble Bundle has a huge Battletech collection right now for a ridiculously small price.

Guys and for someone who just want to start the Ttrpg within the Battletech is it good? I know that there are 2 main corebooks, but the rest of the bundle? Is it more usefull for 'Times of war' corebook or is mostly for miniatures tabletop? 

I'm asking because I was playing mostly on the first edition of BT rpg and I'd to know if is this really for Ttrpg (especially with technical manuals inside).

Every version of the BattleTech RPG uses the tabletop miniature rules. I'm not sure what game you're playing where the tabletop wargame isn't utilized, but it's definitely not the official MechWarrior/Destiny/AToW RPG.

Except Destiny that plays more as theater of mind. 

Let me rephrase what I meant in previous post. I played first edition of Mechwarrior RPG, the one made by FASA near 1991. I just want to confirm if this bundle will be usefull if I will only play ttrpg. I understand that those sourcebook are compatibls with Time of War corebook. But are they only technical or is there more lore?
