Thot Posted August 24, 2018 Share Posted August 24, 2018 A while ago, there were talks about Mecha, based on RD100. Is this still a thing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RosenMcStern Posted August 25, 2018 Share Posted August 25, 2018 Yes, but unlike we announced in 2016, it will not be "next supplement to appear" and is hard to give an ETA. We have even done an initial playtest, but the result was that the rules require an almost complete refactoring from the BRP version. With the current schedule of already-kickstarted books to deliver, it will take some time before we can schedule a development plan. Consider that even the BRP version took three years longer to complete than initially imagined, and you have the complete picture. 1 Quote Proud member of the Evil CompetitionTM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

soltakss Posted August 26, 2018 Share Posted August 26, 2018 Over on TDM's forum, Loz pointed someone to BRP Mecha in response to a query whether TFM were planning Mecha for Mythras, so it looks as though Alephtar games is still the Mecha standard-bearer.

Thot Posted August 27, 2018 Author Share Posted August 27, 2018 So, what is a reasonable SIZ stat for a BRP mecha. What is its STR? If we're going BattleTech style, a BattleMechs will be around SIZ 77 to SIZ 100,with equivalent STR, right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RosenMcStern Posted August 27, 2018 Share Posted August 27, 2018 Hmmm, this discussion is not appropriate here. You are asking about a characteristic which is not even present in Revolution D100 I think we can necro the main BRP Mecha thread in the main forum And robotech mechas have been discussed here, too: Quote Proud member of the Evil CompetitionTM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Much to read. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thot Posted August 31, 2018 Author Share Posted August 31, 2018 Anyway, my suggestion for that book would be to do it differently than BRP Mecha: Make it not a genre guide, but one specific, cool mecha background. That allows for a lot more things to build upon, such as adventures, merchandise, possibly even novels... genre guides are less sucessful for a reason, and they already exist for the genre.
