[QUOTE="Thundarr, post: 430596, member: 4467"] This is actually one of the problems I have with the Mecha Crusade mini-game. It seems like David Noonan (the author) was treating the entire mecha as a suit of armor that added to the player's stats. Yes, it seemed like if your mecha was out of hits, it came off of you. I think the problem with these mini-games is that, well, they're mini. The authors do not have enough space to write out too many details so they have to take shortcuts to cram a lot into one issue. Don't get me wrong, I think David did an awesome job and that the game can work, however, I'm also not oppossed to seeing other rules for a d20 mecha game or some modifications to this one. Until the poly stuff can be released as OGC I think we'll see other rules for d20 mecha. Some could be better, some could be worse. I was just thinking of designing some d20 mecha rules right before I saw the latest issue in my local game store.
