RosenMcStern Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 BRP Mecha has reached its final stage. The playtest I ran this week did not just go as I wished, it even surpassed my expectations! The story that came out of that session could have been a script written by Go Nagai in the seventies, and the system did a great job of processing player input and incorporating any kind of good ideas with minimal intervention on the part of the GM. We even staged a character-versus-mecha short fight, an eventuality I had willingly left out of the rules, and – contrary to my expectations - it worked! If you had missed this teaser, here is the mecha sheet for Kootetsu Jeeg, prepared for this playtest. Some rules need smoothing and tinkering, so I will run a final playtest with the beta rules I used in the last demo, adding only a couple more details for the rules for flight. During this month I can still incorporate player feedback, and indeed it could be very useful. If you wish to playtest, please send me a PM or email or whatever (quantum brainwave messages accepted). Please apply only if you are interested in actual playtest, not just reading the rules. Quote Proud member of the Evil CompetitionTM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wbcreighton Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 How are you conducting the playtest ? VTT ? Quote I use fantasygrounds.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RosenMcStern Posted August 1, 2012 Author Share Posted August 1, 2012 How are you conducting the playtest ? VTT ? Maybe. I do not have a FG ruleset that can support the game, but Maptools will do. But if anyone wishes to playtest, I will gladly hand out a beta manuscript. Quote Proud member of the Evil CompetitionTM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roll20: Web-based online virtual tabletop for all roleplaying games (RPGs) is browser based and free, with webcam conference function and all. I think it will work for any game type Quote Tea and Madness Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RosenMcStern Posted August 4, 2012 Author Share Posted August 4, 2012 Please do not turn this into a VTT comparison thread. You can open another one to list online tools for playing, and I will gladly participate. Maybe I will run a playtest online, but it is not the most important news. The point here is that the final draft is now available for playtest for volunteers, with me or with one's own group.

draven Posted August 30, 2012 Share Posted August 30, 2012 If the play test is not closed I would like to try this with my group. We are a small group only three to four players but are rather found of Mecha in games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RosenMcStern Posted August 30, 2012 Author Share Posted August 30, 2012 I have replied to your personal message, draven. The ruleset is now complete, and I can send playtest packs this weekend. Please contact me through the Alephtar Games contact form and I will send you something. Quote Proud member of the Evil CompetitionTM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
