A downloadable game
Even in a world filled to the brim with diverse technology, the only true way to solve a problem is through the powers of steel titans.
This tabletop rpg allows players to quickly create a mech with a variety of technology to complete any task they face. Combining these different tech pieces together for a single roll, whether it be your own or a roll of a friend, allows for big and bombastic moments of synergy.
The game provides the following:
- Simple core rules that only take up one page (5.5"x8.5").
- Template mechs and pilots to use for quickplay or potential enemies.
- Optional rules for leveling, mech-less gameplay, and alternative mech building methods.
- Guidelines for running combat.
This is my first time posting a TTRPG on the site, so I hope you have a good time playing!

Love the design of this game! The whole idea of using syllables count mechanically is really inspiring and led me to making my own syllable based one-page almost immediately. Just wanted to thank you for the idea! ... And also point something out I randomly noticed about your project.
Apparently the way Itch allows users to search for projects is extremely separated by project type, and they make the point to separate "(digital) games" and "physical games." While doing some research/testing into how it all works, noticed your game is categorized as "game" as opposed to a "physical game" (which I assume is the preferred category... But also for all I know this might be intentional) . . . I get this is probably a weird specification to make, but it seems if you are searching physical games, this project just won't turn up as a result (personally wish there was a search for both physical/digital - or they call the "games" category "digital games" - but oh well). IDK if this is something you'd want to change or not, but just in case it was, thought I'd point it out.
Thank you so much for liking this game and being inspired by it!
And thank you for pointing out things to me to try and help me improve. I'm not on itch very often so I'm very thankful to have someone kind like you suggesting ways to be better. I'll probably fiddle around with stuff after posting this.
Anyways, thank you once again for everything you've done.
