Welcome to Mecha Monday! Here we dedicate ourselves to mecha RPGs, wargames, and boardgames alike. Here we start games, tell campaign stories, share resources & assets, and seek advice for our games and homebrew.Assorted Mecha Goodness:https://pastebin.com/E2wi55AZEmbryo Machine Translation:https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1r_cjOLuUp3HussVRhbQYU3G0zK6hwy1rLancehounds Homebrew:M3g4 folder/eMEBUbCL#kj2FRrlqTa-02U16XpnVRgPrevious Thread: >> 98072344Question of the Thread: How do you feel about fantasy mecha?Thread Theme: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n3YC1F-mLKY
Which games systems is the best for creating custom mecha? And I don't necessarily mean the most complex, just the one that has the best balance of complexity and playability at the gaming table (in your opinion).
>>98247791>QotTEscaflowne is one of my favorite anime so I've always had a soft spot for them. Sadly it's rarely done very well. I'm really looking forward to the Wares Blade books.
I can't figure out a cool and flovourful pirate build for a Lancer game, do you have ideas you could share?
>>98248068I have no idea about lancer mechanically, but going off intuition, a pirate's mech should be a frankensteined together bucket of bolts, with an overpowered engine straining to tear itself away from a chassis that was never designed for it, and equipped with some sort of grappling/capture weapon for taking prizes.
>>98247791Love fantasy mecha. Been very, very, very slowly working on a fantasy mecha setting to run for my regular group someday. For now though Wares Blade seems like it should really hit the right feelings I'm looking for with fantasy mecha.
>>98248068Get some kind of peg leg cannon to replace the left leg and some kind of hook/harpoon thing for the right arm

>>98249297>>98253038Monoeye camera in a head that looks like it was made for two eye cameras
>>98247791 >QotT i'm only into it about half the time i think my major malfunction is that i want guns and grunts out of mecha so i end up not liking knight stuff
>>98247791Speaking of OP, the Wares Blade people have been tweeting on the regular.https://x.com/waresproject_en
>>98248068What kind of space pirate are you?>Blackbeard wannabe on a space galeon>Somalian with laser AK
So if you can have a personalized mech. What kind of mech will it be? Give me your mech name.What can it do in the battlefield? How does it dominates the opposition? What's the gimmick? What's the weakness (if any)? What are its defining feature that's style over substance?What're the weapons?
>>98253807Kobalevsky 43 from Robot Jox for reasons I assume would be obvious?
>>98253596I was thinking granny pirate
>>98253945Well Kidd literally has one on the official artwork.You might also want to look into Bligh Alt frame for Kid from Enhanced Combat book since it's basically a walking pirate ship with boarding crew drones. Blackbeard build for grappling is an obvious if somewhat basic choice. You can mix it with Balor parts for some stacking.Alternatively Störtebeker with Caliban, can turn into a crazy effective blunderbuss + cutlass combo
Just reuploading Wares Blade beta appendix screenshots I had posted in a JTTRPG thread recently since that thread is dead and they're on topic for Mecha Monday threads anyway.
>>98260995>Attunement Value: 56Wow, don't think you have to worry about rolling under that.
>>98261558Probably a typo, it is the beta version after all. The beta main core book has the Spiritualist class description copy pasted into the Tradesfolk class description for example.
>>98261577Definitely a typo, just pointing it out for fun. It should be 5 because it's based on the Persona Rank.
>>98253239You say that but most fantasy mecha end up havinf missles anyway
