Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Hosted on Hyper RPG's Twitch channel on Friday nights, this homebrew BattleTech game uses a mashup of rules from the tabletop version and the upcoming video game.It followed the adventures of Mason's Marauders, a group of mercenaries under the command of Mason Garrilac. Their story begins in the year 3024, during the Third Succession War, when a series of events bring them to the planet of Zathras, where Garrilac has a tortured history and hatches a plan to save the war-torn planet and find his own redemption in the process.Season 2 takes place in 3025, and the Marauders are now officially the Zathran Defense Force, under the command of now-Lord Commander Garrilac. But the peace is uneasy on Zathras, with offworld enemies seeking the planet's secrets, diplomatic forces angling for power in the new order, and tensions and instabilities threatening the ZDF itself.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })Between Seasons 1 and 2 was an eight-episode miniseries, Death From Above: Renegades, starring members of Zombie Orpheus Entertainment as members of a traveling mech performance troupe who are pulled into the chaos when they learn that one of their own has a secret that connects him to the future of Zathras...Season 3 began at the end of August 2017, and it's set 25-30 years after seasons 1 and 2.The series stands out for its Audience Participation and tabletop battles with custom 3D-printed ‘Mechs. When the Mechs take damage in-game, they also get damaged in real life — watch the ‘Mechs get hammered, burned, drilled and more to simulate battle damage! It's also the one show on the channel with perma-death — if a character dies, their actor is off the show.Has its own wiki.Seasons 1 and 2 were GM’d by Harebrained Schemes game designer Tyler Carpenter. DFA: Renegades was run by ZOE's Chris Ode. ZOE's Matt Shimkus took over as the GM for Season 3.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_3'); }) |

Katanas Are Just Better: Both Valravan and Talon use katanas as their Melee weapon of choice. Justified in Talons case since he comes from the Draconis Combine. |

Butch Lesbian: Valravan who responds enthusiastically to flirtation from an opposing female commander and whose wiry build, sleeveless t-shirt and jeans and general Tomboy appearance and behavior definitely fit the trope. On the other hand she does have Glad You're Alive Sex with Talon after he defeats his arch enemy so more like Butch Bisexual. |

comment |
Honor Before Reason: Both Talon and Valravan lean towards this which sometimes leads to a clash between them and Garrilac's more "whatever works"style. In one case Valravan walked off the field when she felt the others violated her commitment to a one-on-one battle with an opposing mech-warrior. |
