When I looked up Mekton all I got was Spanish super geometry dash gameplay.

R Talos is that you

I think I know of two groups on /m/ who play Zeta, me being in one of them. Overall the mecha customization is pretty fun although balance can quickly go out the window. Character customization is broken since Reflex makes you a god among men while Cool and Empathy are similar but separate stats. There are some very usless skills, although a GM can work most in. But for example, there's First Aid and another called Medical or something, and they both do the same thing. I think one is a little harder to learn. As far as combat goes, you will usually run into situations where the rulebook doesnt really cover anything or the wording is too vague. A quick GM can just ad-lib and continue though. Combat is also very number crunchy, thank goodness we do everything on computer to simplify rolls. I pity any poor soul who decides to use a co-pilot for ECM. Honestly, it's fun to play. Not as great as it could be but the quirks of the rulebook are actually kind of charming. It isn't hindering, just a little rough. Overall I'd say an improvement in the combat (through simplification of some areas and specification in others) and improvement of the character system would be most important. Of course, changing combat means altering weapons which means changing mecha customization, but there are ways that could be improved too. Instead of shoving everything into Melee, Beam Melee, Ranged, Beam Ranged, and Missiles, sub-categories for certain types of weapons could be made. Things like the Ablative Armor system work great though, so the system isn't without its merits.

Hope that helps.

White Box Mekton is a wargame, not an RPG.

It can't be anyone from RTG. They'd rather eat a bug than admit to the existance of White Box Mekton.

not op, but how would you compare zeta to battletech/mechwarrior?

>>14455763
It plays quite similar I find.

Thanks everyone for your help.
I promise that it has been helpful.

Keep your ears open.
Don't give up the fight.
