Wanted to gauge interest on something
My friends and I have been working on a hack of the blades system because we love it so much. I wanted to know if anyone is interested in the idea of a mech based system hack, we think it’ll be ready (in a barebones) state in about a month. Just curious, we love the system and were tired of the heavy crunch inherent in other mech games.
Definitely interested!
I’m intrigued.
I’m sorry there’s not much info about the hack here, It’s really rough and I wanted to have more of it complete before I went on further. Just wanted to know if people liked giant robots fighting one another 🙂
YES DO IT
Yes!

Eyyyyyy I also began work on a mech based system a while back but have been too busy to work on it.
Do it.
Michael Yater it’s so nice to know that others want to do the same thing! Did you ever publish a prototype? With your permission I’d like to look over it for ideas.
I barely got into the process when i started. ran a playtest of some bare-bones systems once but thats about it. Id love to provide what i have and if you want i would be interested in contributing if possible. What is the best way to send you what i have so far?
Michael Yater I could just pm you the google doc, fair warning it’s pretty bare bone (only like 20 pages) and not all the playbooks are even finished yet
ladgalad My email is michael.yater123@gmail.com I will send you my google doc (which is even less than yours) and then you can send me what you have. Sound good?
Michael Yater sounds good I’ll send you the link when I get the chance
Might want to take a look at “Tears o f a Machine,” a very fast moving, rules light mech system.
Rebecca W It seems really cool! But it’s more NGE and less Gundam than the itch I’m trying to scratch.

Sean Winslow Sounds like they’re well on the way to their own thing, which is good!
Thank you so much for the support guys! With the Forged in the Dark initiative announced we’re really striving to make it publishable. We’ll release ti to the wild the moment we feel its ready for full on playtesting, wish us luck!
