I guess no one really tried because giant mechas are not taken too seriously. I have no idea why, but one of my settings is something akin to Elder Gods vs Mecha. And differently from the anime, there is no Elder God or similar construct inside the mecha.

I was actually wanting to play in Digital Hellhound's RtD in the hopes he gave humans some leeway, like powered armor or giant mecha. It would still be a losing battle for the humans, but it would be heroic nonetheless and it would have lots of explosions.

Multiworld Madness technically did, but I doubt that's what you meant.

HMR stands for Hazardous Materials Requisition, not Horrible Massive Ruination, though I can understand how one could get confused.

There can/will be giant mecha, eventually. That's what I meant with the whole 'ever-advancing technology' bit. This kind of tech just won't be present at game start, except for... a few experimental projects, funded by the people who knew of the coming of this day.

And yes, the fastest way to do this will be reverse-engineering Ancient tech and powers.

EDIT: Oh god, no combining mecha though. That's a terrible idea.

So I was looking over my old RTDs (Quite a few of them ....), and decided to remake my Assassin's Creed RTD so that combat, and movement are more fluid so that movement would have an actual effect in combat besides the obvious back stabs. This is the premise of the movement system I'm implementing for it, any feedback is welcome since it most likely needs to be refined quite a bit.

Started this thing, now, with the first version. Here's a linky; touch it.

I won't abandon it, so many things you guys haven't done yet. You still haven't received the mission that gives you 5,000,000 G.C. :P

Yeah, sounds good. Adwarf.

It's inspired me to think about starting my space-dogfighting/wing commander/freelancer RTD game finally. Maybe this time, I'll relax the epic overarching story a bit and just let people play the game. :P

Seems that was downfall on the last two 'experiments'.

I inspired someone hurray!

PS: I ran a Mech RTD a while back, it failed due to critical system failure where everyone died in the first round of combat.

How were those mechs? Evangelion sized? I think the most plausible (ahahahahaha, oh wow) form of giant mecha is the Armored Core-style one. It is around the size of a house and generally nimble while still able to dish out enormous amount of damage. Yeah, I play AC.

They were about skyscraper size, and AC style with parts, and such. Would've worked better if I refined the system a bit more.

On that note of overarching storylines, what do most RTD'ers prefer? A story-bound game or a game-game?

I think GM's like story games, and players like game-games

Though I'm the exception, since I prefer story and roleplaying over substance anyway. :P

I think it mostly depends on the GM and what the players expected. Also how the GM is enforcing the stories. (GM forcing PC to do something isn't often fun).

I like story games.

Because they are more fun to watch and GM :P
