You want names?  ??? Huh.

Okay. I'm Ben Parker. Yeah, I heard some decent ones. My favorites:
- How ya been(Ben), Parker?
- Why don'cha park her, Parker?

I go by Daemion over on CBT

Used to be a BattleCorp member. Tried submitting some stories to BattleCorps with no effect. Haven't quite given up on that venture, but it certainly isn't high on my priority list anymore.

In spite of the lapse, I'm still an avid BattleTech fan.

See the 'Where In The World?' post to find out where I'm from.  ;)

I'm male and single: Typical gamer.  ::)

I playtest for Levs. (Am I allowed to say that?) And the engine numbers on slots is my idea. (Although, I'm sure that Randall would have figured it out on his own eventually.)

If you want to know anything else, you'll have to ask.

afilter reporting for duty.  I am a career U.S. Army officer with a degree in military history. I have been a historical wargamer since the early 80s...ACW, Naval, WWII land, and WWI/WWII aerial combat and others.

Really have not been into any fantasy gaming since my D&D days back in Junior high and now occassionally playing some SWM with my son who is a big fan.

Discovered Leviathans from a post on another forum a few months ago and have followed the development since.  I really like the alternate history back story and the time period in general.  I am a sucker for minis in general and am really looking forward to seeing where the game goes from here.

Hi, my name is Anton, aka RAE and by the same nickname I occasionally pop up on the ClassicBattletech.com forums :)

I'm a native Russian, residing in Krasnoyarsk, a major industrial city in the Central Siberia. It's a nice place to live, well, if you don't mind a bit coldish weather ;) Currently, I'm studying linguistics, particularly majoring in Chinese.

I've been interested in Leviathans from the very beginning, since initially I thought that this was going to be a new take on the Crimson Skies, which I'm a huge fan of. But Levs turned out to be a completely unique and awesome setting and I'm really looking forward to see how it develops, especially seeing how much devotion Worktroll, Randall and other PTB have for the universe :)

Hello, like Bosch and Worktroll, if you are from the CBT forums, you probably know me as one of the whacky Blood Spirit Fans over there. ;)  If not, yeah, I am using the same username, just to avoid confusion on my part. But, I am from the Panhandle of Florida, sometimes called "Lower Alabama."

I am really looking forward to the game coming out..I am already planning my paint schemes for my ships....No, no, no! No way in heck am I going to paint them dull, boring battleship grey...I am thinking light blue undersides with dazzle tops for some, Dazzle for others, and otherostentatious colours for others..battleship grey is BORING to paint!

Hi everyone,

I'm Brian - in Dayton, Ohio.  I can't wait for this game to come out!  My usual online handle is bitraven, but I couldn't resist using Don Karnage for this board  ;)

Is it out yet?

Howdy Ya'll!

Trenchknife here.  Same cat that prowls through CBT.  Texas by birth and blessing, but I'll likely choose German and/or Russian as faction of choice for Leviathans.  Well, Russian only if I get to help squish the communist revolution in it's infancy.  It's a goal.  Otherwise, I might just have to become a Russian privateer for hire!

I'm Roderick, from Scotland, but I hang about online under Tonbo Karasu, because it was easier to get my L5R character name as an e-mail address last century.

I've been involved in Battletech, RL and other wargames for over 2 decades now, and remembered greatly enjoying Leviathan...

New game, about flying warships in 1910, not the Renegade Legion game..but, from the demos, this is going to be a blast!

Another CBT emigrant here. :) Same name, different faction. Went with the hometown favorite for this.

The home of the brave and the free,
The shrine of each patriot's devotion,
A world offers homage to thee"

Falchion here. Same fuzzy guy, same fuzzy menace. Give me a month and you'll see a Falchion's Leviathans Do Nots list that'd rival the one in the Hall...

Hey everyone. 

First saw this game at GenCon '09.  I played the demo with several other people and was sold immediately. 

Can't wait for the release!
