Getting back on the narrative train for Mechanized Body. Here's some juicy Itzamna flavor for the narrative.

Damn, Lil Tach nailed this art.

The third party Lancer scene is for sure one of the coolest in the TTRPG industry. Two big projects releasing/out on kickstarter just in the last month:

Iphigenia at Midnight by Ash and Gold

The last Mechanized Body piece of this year by @tachyonart.bsky.social -

The Guangzhou, a MB from the Neutral Blocs Alliance. A specialist-class frame used as a tool of the NBA: a wet-work dredge designed to silence the fomenting worker revolts and protests that flare up across the blocs.

The turquoise straggler is most assuredly a vibe - I’m on Brompton life rn, but I might have bust my straggler out now.

Now it is so important, I feel, for writers and artist who contribute to the fictional spaces of play seen in ttrpgs n the like to write compelling stories that challenge (slay) the systems we live in. There is no escape (cowarding) from combating the type of systems that dehumanize and exploit.

i will never for the life of me forget the front page Fox News website headline that suggested Freddie Gray, a black man from Baltimore who died in a police van trip, had intentionally injured his own spine to implicate the cops. thinking about that again recently

MB #5 from @tachyonart.bsky.social. What we have here is something special- the Itzamna - crafted by The Renaissance- those who claimed the skies of Venus before the Humanic Filters raged.

"Follow the Youth's Master Hand, it with me leads us to the sky of skies, unity is too what we now seek."

Hello new followers, please find my wicked son, and it's rugged half dying MB build.

The card packs chosen allow the Quartz to become more effective when Heavily Damage. As long as the card Forged in Steel is in my discard I can remove it from the game when reduced to 0 HP to keep the fight up!

MB #4 from the hands of @tachyonart.bsky.social. This one is the Volt-99, from an independent manufacturer in the system. It’s anime super robot incarnate.

“no! pass me the class two theater meter- the output is too high. No! The meter! Not a mesh braider. Ugh…life’s work, set back another 10yrs”

SHEEEEEEEEEEEET, I can Google Sheets...sometimes.

Version 1 of the character sheet's auto deck list, MB and loadout exporter thingy is up.

Players wanted to share their builds with others but it was a lil time consuming to hand list everything, now you can just cpy paste ur build!

Like HP, Speed, weapon effects are a given, but then is cover? is elevation? is adjacency?

What do you think?

Ukuwa Station @ukuwa-station.bsky.social · Aug 4

Had me thinking like what do we NEED for it to feel like it's a table top role playing game with the deck of pilot cards and mech builds that come to life on in tactical way?

Ukuwa Station @ukuwa-station.bsky.social · Aug 4

A Reddit player joined a playtest super hyped for the card-based pilot concept, but mid-game, they realized it’s more tactical RPG than card game. It caught them off guard... and honestly, made me think about our rules for elevation, LoS and the trappings of tactics games.

For all my new and old followers, I am hosting a online one shot of mechanized body today at 6 PM CST. We’ve got a character sheet and time to teach, so if a card based mecha TTRPG triggers both your Yu-Gi-Oh brain worm and your mechs fixations then join up! #ttrpg #mecha

New MB art from @tachyonart.bsky.social - the Quartz from the Compound Alliance Triad, better known as The Mob.

WORK FOR THE MOB

"It was in our metal-son that we imbued our desires. We sent it to the planets to arrest human potential and inter it into our labor."

MASH. CRASH. SMASH.

Truly, this is my favorite pack. It's a tier 3 skill pack that you can select once you hit level 3. Like most tier 3 packs, it's a deck-defining pack, really making you think about how you build your pilot deck and MB to complement its strategy.

Last week of the month! That means last chance for you to submit community content to the mecha ttrpg newsletter:

The Mecha TTRPG Newsletter

You are about to discover that mecha ttrpgs are legion. Or more likely you already know, and that's why you're signing up. It seems as if a new mech game is coming out every month, and so many of these games are worth reading, if not playing. How do you

Another MB from the art foundries of @tachyonart.bsky.social meet the Agojie, a MDL frame.

“We built this home clean, with room to dream.
Clad in comforts of tactical mesh, I answer when destiny screams.
At my action foes fall right to left,
Lay beside me now, for they all rot in forever rest”
