The Salvage Union RPG Is The Mech RPG I've Always Wanted 

Thankyou for this excellent review! Salvage Union is the Mech RPG we always wanted too, and we've been delighted to bring it into the world and share it with the community.

Damn that looks to be a pretty awesome product, the art sets the mood well and it looks really well thought out production wise.

We are not here to have fun, we are here to play a game.

Kaiju, I think is the word you were looking for, in reference to giant monsters. I've never been a big mech-based Sci-Fi fan, but this one has piqued my interest. I especially like that they're more human scaled, as opposed to Voltron, Battletech, or Neon Genesis. Heavy Gear was a game from the 90s that had a very different vibe to this, but also featured more human-sized mechs, which work better for me. This reminds me a bit of Ian McQue's art, and of Philip Reeve's Mortal Engines novels. I get the sense that it would be about building community and such, which I dig. And rules light, which I dig. So many mech games I've seen like to get bogged down in crunch. Quest was a game I wanted to pick up, but it was the wrong mix of difficult to acquire and expensive.

The book is only printed in Lithuania. Like many other rpg books. Leyland Press is UK based.

17:20 "Socrates Johnson" 😂 Great Bill and Ted reference!

Inspiration from Star Wars. That first art picture in the book was flat out an AT-AT with a boat on its back., 😂

are there any modifiers for dice rolls or is it entirely random? Like if my character has quick reaction speed can I get a bonus to initiative rolls, or am I beholden to the die itself for all these actions/events

thanks for a glimpse of this game. the art is fantastic. however, the game world is bland and limited. not very impressed with the mecha game mechanics. very vague. character types are A-typical to many sci-fi of similar genre. I'm sure that as the game developers add content, the setting will improve. as there are already a dozen plus mecha RPGs that have been published over the past 45 years and were well made. only a few have withstood the test of time. I'll pass on this version as it is too vague for my taste in RPGs.

The art is terrible.
