One thing I've been thinking about with whatever I end up using is making each mech more reliant on a crew rather than strictly a single pilot. This definitely gives me some options to play with and I'm not likely to run this anytime soon, been moving, but I've been chewing on what system would work best for my M*E*C*H "the Korean/Vietnam War but with Mecha" game idea.

Subpilots are a thing in Battle Century G. They’re pretty simple.

Splicer posted:Same. I got a burst of nostalgia and remembered it, and it's an amazing setting. The cartoon series is an adaptation of a comic called Xenozoic Tales which I have not read. Yo, Strike! with the vehicles mini-expansion does all 4 of those things. Meshing them together? No, not as in doing them at literally the same time. You can totally string them together in sequence, though. Like the dino cars have a vehicle combat, then the loser flees and a car or dino chase ensues, followed by a dino combat if they fail to escape.

theironjef posted:Huh, really? I went looking for details on that and just found an interview with one of the designers running some textbook responses. All "It can't be overly sexualized, our lead animator is a woman" and "look, it's not a game about sexy woman. It's a game about women and some of them happen to be sexy" and "we didn't set out to put all the panty flashes in the game, those are just the logical result of good animation." I'd say the second one is a valid point fool_of_sound posted:The basic Mecha flavors are gritty war, alien invasion, idealistic kaiju hunters, horror kaiju hunters, battle tournament, and Silly. There's also a surprising amount of Fantasy Mecha series fool_of_sound posted:It’s also the premise of forums favorite G Gundam. If anyone here hasn't seen G Gundam yet, they really should as it's amazing theironjef posted:If I didn't know any better, I'd say you were setting this poor guy up. To be fair although mechanically it's iffy, that setting is a good one from a fluff angle, same with DragonMech from the same company

So the Unity folks got back to me pretty quick and I've been reading through the PDF all day. I think I've found the next 4E-alike I'm gonna try to run, especially since it seems a lot easier to do with online play with, given 'players roll all the dice' and using range bands instead of grids.

It's like if 4e and 13th Age had a kid, but the kid mostly took after its 4e father? It uses a 2d10, players-roll-everything system with a pretty neat custom setting and interesting, flavorful classes. The guy did a lot of work, and it seems to have paid off. dwarf74 fucked around with this message at 04:56 on Jul 8, 2018 |

It's kind of frustrating to try and talk about a game that nobody but Kickstarter backers really has easy access to at the moment. I'll say that of the currently existing "like 4E" games that are out there (not counting ones still in development like Let Thrones Beware) that it's probably the most 4E-like I've come across. Like everybody always talks about 13th Age as being a game for if you liked 4E but I've never found that to be the case, while Unity is actually very much a game that clearly descends from 4E D&D.

Like everybody always talks about 13th Age as being a game for if you liked 4E but I've never found that to be the case, while Unity is actually very much a game that clearly descends from 4E D&D. About its biggest departure from 4e is in its use of 13A-style zone combat. Fortunately there's a simple "so you want to use a grid..." section in the rules. I admire the desire for simplicity, and I very much enjoyed using zone combat in SotDL, but this is 4e-like enough that playing it without a grid seems wrong. I'm going through it now, and one interesting thing I'm noticing is how a lot of attention is paid to mechanically pacing the game. Whenever the party rests, it increases a GM resource pool called Ruin. Ruin can be spent in a number of ways - from making bad poo poo happen, to nighttime ambushes, to powering nasty monster abilities. It's a neat idea, and seems appropriate for a game where the GM literally never rolls dice.

I think maybe they shouldn't have named their RPG the same as an ubiquitous game development platform. "Unity RPG" google rankings are not a battle I see them winning.

It's not really my favorite name in the world either, no, but it's kind of a minor quibble. The bigger annoyance is the delay in getting it up for sale so I could at least drop a link or something whenever it comes up.

No get out. I had to play a roll20 game as a 'celebrity guest' for a con a while back and it was awful. Got stuck having to be polite to a dude who was playing a dwarf barbarian using her boobs as weapons that he called the "titty migraine." He also told me before the game to not worry about being g the guest or whatever, because he was the funny one.
