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: >>98346561Question of the Thread: Do you like mecha designs that deliberate look stupid?Thread Theme: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ND6Ws0we6kA
>>98487719>Do you like mecha designs that deliberate look stupid?No. It doesn't matter how intentional it is, if it looks stupid it looks stupid.
>>98487719>Question of the Thread: Do you like mecha designs that deliberate look stupid?Not really. It's kinda why I'm working on reworking the old MSGBS rulebook. Universal Century is the best Gundam timeline.
>>98489369I really dig people making games out of gunpla but boy they really are big for a wargame. Some people got really mad over the gundam game being new minis and not reusing gunpla and yeah, I don't think bandai's winning move is to ask everyone to buy a bunch of shoebox sized terrain.
>>98489766Checked. That's a fair take. I like them for hobbyist process more than assemble or other companies. The rulebook edit doesn't require basing or anything, I'm just using HG on 130mm bases. They arent terribly large being a bit larger than a 40k armiger and smaller than a knight. Terrain is also pretty simple as there is a fair bit of overlap with N scale train autism. This was on a 3x3 and there's still plenty of room for models and terrain.
>>98490101Damn, im retarded. Forgot picrel.

>>98487719>Space Colony gets intercepted by a raiding party of a mysterious aliens called the Nekonians>Colony emergency lands on planet>planet is seemignly abandoned with structures that resemble our own, but much larger>players must explore the planet while surviving dangerous wildlife. While trying to avoid the attention of the Nekonians, or worse, whatever creatures dwell this forgotten world.Does this sound like a fine premise or does being in a giant world defeat the point of being in a giant robot?
>>98487719I know they call it the Fatty but DAYUM

>>98487719>TQThe Zock is Zeon's dumbest design, but I love it.>>98489369Best of luck to you! I'm looking forward to seeing what you do with it>>98489766I was a little surprised they went with paintable minis rather than Gunpla, but I think they want Gunpla to be a completely separate market from the various hobby products. Overall, I'm happy there are more Gundam minis.>>98490114In addition to N scale terrain, the folding cardstock terrain you get from Drop Zone Commander in picrel also works wonders and is very portable.
>>98487719What's the difference between looking stupid and deliberately looking stupid? There are plenty of mecha designs I'm not a fan of but not sure if the designers thought were hot shit or not. Namely the Baund Doc, I really don't like it
give links to mecha game discords (not pilotnet)talking about anything in 4chan has proven impossible, i'm so desperate i'm willing to bite my tongue and stop screaming YWNBAW whenever I see a transgender
>>98498814at the risk of being tautological, its the intentionalitybut making something stupid on purpose is actually quite difficult if you want the reason it looks stupid to have a meaningif something looks stupid because to us because it was made by space-people whose brains are coming out their ears from space radiation, then you cant just throw something together but think about what dumbass design principles space-assholes would have that looks good to them but bad to usit would have to be bad, but with all the bad elements being cohesive enough that someone in-universe would have built it and said against all logic "this looks good"
>>98498814Daimidaler is (or at least used to be) a fairly well known example of the latter
>>98498955sounds like you're pretty based
>>98493319>Does this sound like a fine premise or does being in a giant world defeat the point of being in a giant robot?the trick is to eventually make a giant robot for the giant robot to pilliot.
>>98487719is their anything that can be played that a mecha that funtions in lore with divination , that would also allow you to change the rules to allow real life divination tecniques.I have an autist to take care of.
>>98499206that has to do with giant robots of course , how could I forget.
>>98499206>>98499209That sounds pretty rad but not that I know of
>>98499219I mean , aren't most mechs like extremly mayority scientific , are their any games that even have fantasy as part of them.their might be some "computer prediction" mechs that I could maybe change , to reflavor it. but I don't know how different mecha rpgs play , I only play one or two ttrpg , although I do want to learn to make my autist happy.
>>98499192I'm tired of being basedI want to play tabletop games, not scream NIGGER at the top of my lungs whenever I see a black. it's not funny anymore. I don't enjoy it, I just do it out of obligation now. I just want it to end, I want to have friends again that aren't insufferable cocksuckers that speak only in buzzwords and 'jakspeak.
>>98499266oh, you don't seem based at allgood luck with your gay demon D&D
>>98499330Gay Demon D&D doesn't exist outside of scripted "realplays" on youtube and WotC's official art. It's also not a mecha RPG.
>>98499266just become black.
>>98499341What if he's not from the west coast of the USA? Transracialism isn't tolerated anywhere else.
>>98499337oh bullshit every shitty art of donut steal D&D parties are 3/4 pink or blue gay demons now
>>98487719I like a bit of absurdity to my mecha, actually, because so many real vehicles (especially outside of the civilian world) DO look a bit weird - they're made for function, not form. In extreme cases it can be dumb, but if played well it works because it makes the machinery feel like a real machine that exists in its world, not just a Dude Made of Metal that a lot of mecha designs look like because they're purely pursuing a model kit or something.
>>98487719This little guy doesn't look stupid at all! If you've got a source, that would be much appreciated.Also have a chunky fella in turn.
