What's the best roleplaying system to run a game about mercenary children fighting gritty mech battles in space?
>>
Bliss Stage or GURPS

>>46690019
AdEva ...in.. space?

>>46690088
I haven't played AdEva, but isn't it built around angst and sanity breaks?
>>
>>46690105
true, but the mecha fight part is recyclable, also don't tell me mercenary children don't develop issues.

>also don't tell me mercenary children don't develop issues.

We both know Evangelion sanity breaks are a whole different category on their own. It's the difference between "War is Hell" and "I want to play an RPG about how hellish war is".

That said, I'll check out the rules.

This Bliss game seems interesting, too.

True, true,

>>46690172
Bliss Stage is very narrative, but about kids fighting a war they shouldn't be. Take that as you will.
>>
Jovian Chronicles or Heavy Gear.
JC is Gundam with the serial numbers filed off.
HG is VOTOMS with the serial numers filed off.
>>
>>46690201
And fucking twelve-year-olds.
>>
>>46690490
....Yeah.
>>
>>46690490
Seems like that stuff could be ditched fairly easily, though.
>>
>>46690513
Ehhhhhhhhh I wish. A disturbing part of the game is about fucking you're underage friends. Not just fluff wise, but mechanically.
>>
>>46690490

Yeah The fucking 12 year olds thing is a pretty key part of the narrative.

"I boned little Suzy so my dream mech has a stronger missile launcher, BOOYAH"
>>
>>46690559

Don't forget the part where the game suggests naming operators, that you can role play fucking, after unrequited crushes.

>>46690672
>>46690559
So this is what happens when magical realm DMs write their own systems.
>>
>>46690726
Yeah, pretty much.

>>46690019
Mekton Zeta?

Mech rules are vehicle rules and vehicle rules are grappling rules-tier in terms of being legendarily terrible everywhere.
