Whoops, I already commented on this but it didn’t save…
This is a really interesting co-op game where one player, as the Dr. Rossi (great name), will orchestrate the upbringing of mecha pilots who have to protect their academy (and the world) from demons. There is a fleshed-out story, and specific quick-resolution mechanics for battles with the demons.
One note regarding formatting and gamerunning, having the encounters (demons, stats, rewards) spaced out with the plot might make running the game more challenging. I would envision a plot arc that just has footnotes about the enemies and their stats, which can be collected into a table/quick two-page spread at the end. Just a thought on formatting and ease of running the game (although I haven’t had a chance to).
Interesting story and setting. If you want to play a demonic/otherworldy Mecha Academy game, this is the source book for you.
Edit: One thing I have to say is the song was an absolute bop. 5 star audio
So I'm not able to actually play, but I thoroughly enjoyed reading the gameplay and seeing how it would play. I love this style of writing. Excellent. Cover was absolutely a selling point. Sound track was great too.
love table tops! solid concept!
