The Emotional Mecha Jam

by Ray Shinjukuon March 18, 2019

The Emotional Mecha Jam is a 2019 independent RPG anthology claimed, in its own words, to want to emphasize “the strong emotions that drive the pilots and the drama that entangles them”, themes central to the inspirations for tabletop games based on giant robot stories but lacking, arguably, from the key RPGs available. It is […]
