  16. >Mekton Z
  17. Mekton is a venerable system, kinda rules heavy, but it lets you build any kind of mecha, even things like combining mecha or super robots. And who among us doesn't love giant robots?

  27. >Battle Century G and Z
  28. Heavily designed to emulate super robot anime (its predecessor was outright made to recreate Super Robot Wars), it’s a D10 system that’s a good midpoint between crunch and fluff, with narrative points and a ‘tension’ tacker in combat
  29. >from a kind anon
  30. m3g@ /folder/nOpySCAI#EgKrqOSyYeHzot_MjIxYCw/folder/napj2aLZ
  31.  
  32. >Heavy Gear
  33. 4-5 meter high robots called Gears, like the ATs from VOTOMS (robots with rollers). A planet divided in two main factions.
  34. >Jovian Chronicles?
  35. Gundam-like. Focuses on the conflict between the Jovian Confederation and the Central Earth Government and Administration.
  36. >Gear Krieg

  41. >Adeptus Evangelion
  42. Started right here on /tg/, this Dark Heresy-derived game has evolved into the most popular system for running campaigns based on Neon Genesis Evangelion. After a long absence, new people have stepped up to offer new versions
  43. >two different forks of development, Borderline (v2.5, requires WH40K Dark Heresy base game) and Beta 3 (v3.05, stand-alone)

  49. >Lancer RPG
  50. Mech game made with the design system of Shadows of the Demon Lord mixed with 4E D&D. Moderate-crunch tactical system for mech battles, with a narrative driven, rules-lite system for pilots. Offers a free, full-featured character builder and GM tools

  62.  
  63. >Armored Trooper VOTOMS homebrew
  64. A fa/tg/uy creation designed to also run campaigns set in the VOTOMS anime setting. Features a very streamlined D6 system that’s currently being developed and a very helpful creator who roams this very thread.

  70. >Armored Trooper VOTOMS – The Roleplaying Game
  71. An official RPG book for VOTOMS, this book is as much a lore bible as a system core book, being packed with art and setting info. It's a Talsorian games release that uses a modified version of the Fuzion rules, from Mekton, for your Chirico fantasies.

  81. >Remnants
  82. A post-apocalyptic tribal setting where almost all previous technology was destroyed, leaving the last few stone age people to fight over the remaining mecha weapons call Remnants. Pretty cool bleak setting wrapped up in a streamlined, cinematic D6 system
  83. >All books including two broken lands expansions

  85.  
  86. >Payload
  87. Undergoing playtesting, it’s a D10 system focused on tactical combat and customising your mech by buying/selling parts. Has a setting with spacefaring hypercorps, mercenaries, and pretty cool looking Front Mission-esque mecha designs. The rulebook is free and the creator welcomes feedback

  98. >Armour Astir Advent
  99. A narrative-heavy mecha game in a fantasy setting (for once!) using the Powered by the Apocalypse engine.
  100. >Official Page (offers a free demo)
  101. https://weregazelle.itch.io/armour-astir
  102.  
  103. >Eisenfront
  104. A 15mm scale tabletop wargame, features mecha similar to that of the Front Mission series of tactical Video Games. Lets you build mecha of your own design.
  105.  
  106. >C.A.V. Strike Operations
  107. A sort of diet coke version of Battletech. More in line with the 40k/Heavy Gear Blitz/Alpha Strike philosophy of wargaming than old school Battletech.
  108.  
  109. >Obsidian Protocol
  110. Magnetized modular parts on miniatures, this tabletop game lets you construct mecha part by part, similar to that of the Armored Core series of mecha video games. As of April 2023, the game is in the final stages of production.
  111.  
  112. >Heavy Gear
  113. A role playing game featuring 4-5 meter tall robots called Gears, similar to the ATs from VOTOMS (robots with rollers). Takes place on the colony world of Terra Nova, a planet divided in two main factions.
  114.  
  115. >Heavy Gear Blitz
  116. The wargame variant of Heavy Gear, runs the gambit of featuring Infantry, Tanks, Striders (Mecha bigger than Gears, more in design with MechWarrior style mechs), & Airstrikes.
  117.  
  118. >Mechastellar
  119. A Gundam/SRWs take on wargaming. Recommended for use with the old Gundam 1/400 Collection, but most scales below that of HG Gunplas can work.
  120. https://mechastellar.com/game-downloads/
  121.  
  122. >Type-4
  123. A mecha RPG based on a d100 resolution mechanic to support a wide range of mecha concepts. Similar crunchiness of that found in Mekton and other old-school mecha RPGs. As of April 2023, the game is still in development, with a beta copy floating around.
  124.  
  125. >ChromeStrike
  126. A homebrew, hyper-lethal D6 system with a setting based on Chrome Hounds and Armored Core. Unfortunately yet to be totally completed (and might never be) but very much playable
  127. >Beta rules (0.988 edition)
  128. https://1d4chan.org/images/0/04/ChromeStrike.pdf
  129.  
  130. >Fragged Dieselpunk Mecha
  131. Exactly what it says on the tin, a game with dieselpunk aesthetics that uses the Fragged system. Set in an alternate 1940s, it has big clunky mechs, and combat with a medium crunch D6 system with ammunition and heat management
  132. >Link to rules PDFs

  135.  
  136. >Bliss Stage
  137. A mecha RPG without mecha combat rules. Bliss Stage, in the same vein as Eva, instead focuses on exploring the themes of the genre. A narrative game in a setting where teenagers are all that remain, Bliss Stage has a system that explores interpersonal relationships, growing up, and the trauma of war.

  151. >Cthulhutech
  152. A veritable mashup of various mecha anime, Cthulhu horror, Guyver, cyberpunk rpgs, and many other influences. A pretty cool setting that’s unfortunately also legendary for its awful rules and occasionally painfully edgy writing

  157. >Lunar Reckoning 69
  158. A mecha system heavily based on the hyperkinetic Armored Core games, it emphasises super fast and manoeuvrable combat with a variable imitative resource. The game is still in beta, and hasn’t had an update in a while, but is still entirely playable.
  159. >Official beta 2.5 release
