seneschal Posted May 17, 2013 Share Posted May 17, 2013 We've been asking for sci-fi, and now we've got it. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1000buffalo Posted May 17, 2013 Share Posted May 17, 2013 Looks really good - I like the cover, and the preview. For clarity: is the PDF already "done" - that is, the preorder consists of receiving the PDF more-or-less now, and the book to be shipped when printed? Or, are both PDF and book going to be released together in June? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mankcam Posted May 17, 2013 Share Posted May 17, 2013 Wow, that's a pretty good price for print-version, pdf, and shipping...does that include international shipping? I could not see any different shipping rates with this product...the preview looks great, this will be a good book to have, its such a different genre to the other BRP settings Quote " Sure it's fun, but it is also well known that a D20 roll and an AC is no match against a hefty swing of a D100% and a D20 Hit Location Table!"

wbcreighton Posted May 19, 2013 Share Posted May 19, 2013 This is a really good deal. OOC how many pages does it clock in at ? Quote I use fantasygrounds.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pansophy Posted May 19, 2013 Share Posted May 19, 2013 And an other question: I can see stats for ships. Is it possible to build other vehicles apart from Mecha? Quote My Uploads - BRP and new: Revolution D100 Â Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cgeist7 Posted May 19, 2013 Share Posted May 19, 2013 The preview looks great. Ordered and super happy finally see this coming out! Well done. CG7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RosenMcStern Posted May 20, 2013 Author Share Posted May 20, 2013 124 pages. The book has the following real-life vehicles as examplesa: M4 Sherman, BTR-80, Mitsubishi A6M Zero, AH-64 Apache, F-15 Eagle, Kongo class Destroyer. By putting a few pieces together, you can easily stat the Yamato (both the historical one and the spaceship). I have not tried it, but you should be able to stage the assault on the Death Star, too. There is even a map for this. Quote Proud member of the Evil CompetitionTM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pansophy Posted May 21, 2013 Share Posted May 21, 2013 convinced. Just ordered it Hope the shipping costs to AU do not ruin you - I want to see more good games from Alephtar Games! Quote My Uploads - BRP and new: Revolution D100 Â Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canis latrans popus Posted May 26, 2013 Share Posted May 26, 2013 Excellent now I don't have to convert from other games for my mecha Pendragon game. Quote My roleplaying blog: Axes and Orcs.

Zarameus Posted May 26, 2013 Share Posted May 26, 2013 End of May, you say? I wasn't expecting it so soon! I've been waiting for this beauty ever since it was first announced. To be honest, I was starting to wonder if it would ever happen. I am SO happy that my pessimism was wrong! Just preordered mine - I'm practically shaking with anticipation. I can't wait for the go ahead on the PDF download. It's like an early Christmas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aramone Posted May 27, 2013 Share Posted May 27, 2013 When will BRP PDF be available at Drive Thru? I have been waiting for this book for awhile now. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RosenMcStern Posted May 27, 2013 Author Share Posted May 27, 2013 Avaiability of the PDF? This week! Maybe tomorrow with a little luck. We have just the bookmarks to add, and it should not take too long Quote Proud member of the Evil CompetitionTM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ORtrail Posted May 27, 2013 Share Posted May 27, 2013 While I'm not a big mech fan, it sounds like it would have more than enough neat ideas and game mechanics to make getting at least a PDF version worthwhile. As soon as it hits DriveThruRPG, I am snagging a copy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mankcam Posted May 27, 2013 Share Posted May 27, 2013 I have really enjoyed the content from all the BRP supplements so far that Alephetar has published. So if that is anything to go by then the book will be probably usable across homebrew settings as well as its intended setting, and the book will likely be a good addition to any BRP library. I'm looking forward to it as it greatly expands the setting builds for BRP.

Zarameus Posted May 27, 2013 Share Posted May 27, 2013 Hey, I just had a thought. I know it handles transforming mechs like the Veritechs, but is there any reason this wouldn't also be good for a Transformers campaign? Like Autobot and Decepticon kinda Transformers? I mean... They're essentially mechs who don't need pilots on the basic most level. It never occurred to me till now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ORtrail Posted May 27, 2013 Share Posted May 27, 2013 I just saw a trailer for the upcoming movie, Pacific Rim (giant monsters versus mechs and their pilots), so the timing of this release seems pretty good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zarameus Posted May 28, 2013 Share Posted May 28, 2013 So, uh... Any word on the PDF version dropping soon? /stupidly hopeful for later tonight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RosenMcStern Posted May 29, 2013 Author Share Posted May 29, 2013 Links for the PDF sent to pre-orderers. The game will be on DriveThruRPG tomorrow. Printed copies will follow within June.

ORtrail Posted May 29, 2013 Share Posted May 29, 2013 After looking at the Mecha RPG webpage, it is certainly a good deal for a book and PDF copy (and the FREE shipping). How much will just the PDF version cost? With that black border running through the book, I might be better off doing a preorder if the PDF is still around $15 or so (and save my printer ink).
