Good timing. Are there particular systems ideal for multiple players playing/contributing to components of a mech, and more importantly having rules for smaller scale more mundane vehicles?

QoT: Submersible vehicle. Hydrodynamic streamlining just as crucial as aerodynamic streamlining especially with regards to speed & cruising efficiency. That's not even taking into consideration design choices caused by the pressure gradient experienced underwater.

Hello, /mechm/. My players have finished up their business in orbit, and the ground war has slowed down. So there's a high probability their next destination is the moon. I've described it pretty much like ours IRL. I've been looking through my map collection, and I'm not entirely satisfied with what I've got.Can anyone share a battle map for lunar terrain, or point me in the direction of some good ones?

Is it expected that a mech pilot have a basic understanding of the mechanical know how of their mech? Should they at least know how to do basic maintenance and repairs?

I like the discussed differences between Parry and Block here. Helpful!I forget what game it was, but there was this one that my friends and I were playing -- it had rules for Block and Dodge which made them functionally the same. So we called it "Dock & Blodge."

Has anyone here dared to run a mech game with Spacemaster (Rolemaster but scifi)? What was it like?

What about armor?In your mecha games, do you prefer armor to wear down, or is that too much bookkeeping?Do you like armor to offer variable protection in different places?What ideas and mechanics make mecha armor interesting? Stuff like multi-layered armor, brittle armor, ablative armor, reactive (exploding off) armor, energy-vulnerable armor, electrically-fortified armor, etc?Whatcha got, gearheads?

Giant human looking robots or like more smaller believable sized robots?I’ve always had a problem with gundam cause of the size and the fact they got guns and shit. For me I like a robot with internal weaponry instead of whatever that giant gun crap is lmao.

Trying to decide how to equip my first team of mechs for Mobile Arms. So far the team is comprised of
>Medium stealth mech outfitted with a shoulder mounted railgun, targetting array to shoot at mechs through walls and a personal AI to help assure the shot lands, and is piloted by a gunner specialist
>Medium mech with a beam rifle and a chaingun. Both are outfitted with special ammunition that should tag enemy mechs so the railgun mech can lock onto them. Has a free hand so he could feasibly punch and fuck with any mechs that close in on him. Piloted by a heavy weapon specialistI'm pretty sure I want the 3rd and final member/pilot to be a spotter of some kind (pic related) that works in tandem with the sniper but my question is; what sounds like it'd be a cooler addition to the team mech wise?
>Medium frontline/overwatch mech, outfitted with dual auto rifles loaded with tungsten rounds so it can lay some hurt down while spotting or running objectives
or
>Roller-blading light mech outfitted for melee; wrist mounted gigascalpel, a free hand for punching and a module unit so the mech is followed around by a little gun drone buddy

Anyone have more art and images of spike guns/pile bunkers/whatever else they're called? It's difficult to find anything since it's all spread out over a dozen different terms

Anon10/16/25, 02:00No.96763151
Is there a TTRPG where all players control a single giant robot? (Or one where multiple robots piloted by the players can combine into one, that's fine too)
