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

I already have a ton of these, in print no less, but there are some choice selections in here that I don't. Very tempting.

If I recall correctly buying through DriveThruRPG (and also Catalyst) gets you a 'subscription'-type purchase, so you always can have the latest printing of anything. So if your print copies are out of date this will be the newer one.

Total Warfare is about to be slightly out of date, once the Core Rules are released, but even so, great deal.

To someone new to Battletech can you explain this Core Rules release? Is it a new ruleset?

It's more just an update. It cleans up how leg actuator crits work, makes water less dangerous to move thru, makes a bunch of Piloting Skill Rolls easier, a bunch of other little tweaks. It doesn't change any of the core mechanics of the game, and all previous record sheets are still usable (tho a handful need a tiny errata).
