Mecha Aces uses the FUDGE system as a foundation, and builds upon the system to create the perfect synergy between a pilot and their machine. Mecha Aces re-examines the mecha/pilot paradigm in RPGâs, and establishes an innovative system built around the simplicity of the FUDGE system, and the power within the systemâs potential. Mecha and the Pilots who drive them Mecha Aces uses the FUDGE system to represent Mecha as if they are a type of character. They have Traits such as Attributes, Gifts, and Faults, so keeping track of a Mecha is as simple as keeping track of any other character. While piloting Mecha, pilots use their appropriate skill to guide the machine in the intended action. However, the system of a skilled pilot and superior machine is more than simply the sum of its parts. Mecha Aces adds the concept of Synergy to the Mecha/pilot paradigm, incorporating small bonuses to rolls made by a pilot within a Mecha (such as skill checks), and vice versa where a Mecha makes a roll guided by a pilot (such as attribute checks). FUDGE Foundation Toolset Mecha Aces includes a variety of optional features to enhance game-play in any situation and genre. This toolset of features will allow the person running the game to be flexible in their inclusion. You can use some or all of the features in the toolset; effectively controlling how terse or complex your game will be. Some features are fairly standard to RPGâs, such as Magic and Psychic Powers. Other features are more experimental and cutting edge, such as Techniques and Artificial Intelligence. A brief description of each feature is outlined below: Magic Mecha Aces uses a combination of Gifts and Skills to accommodate an innovative Magic system. When the Magic Gift is purchased, a certain number of Spell Points are used to construct the spells known by the character. Depending upon the Magic System used, the player can create a huge variety of magical powers to be used at their disposal. Several Magic Systems are included in the book, including Technomancy, Elementalism, and Shinto Mysticism. Each spell requires its own set of material requirements, such as foci to channel the power, and a reagent that is consumed by the spell (if required). Once the character knows their spells, certain skills are used to determine their success once cast. The exact skill used depends upon the Magic System. Psychic Powers The powers of the mind are included within Mecha Aces by using (primarily) skills. Once the character purchases the Psychic Power Gift, they are free to purchase levels of skill within the variety of powers available. The level of the skill determines the amount of potency associated with the power. Some example psychic powers are Telekinesis, Clairvoyance, Precognition, and Telepathy. There are many more powers described thoroughly in the Psychic Powers chapter of the Mecha Aces rulebook. Techniques Some pilots, in the course of their experience, develop signature moves that they can use to crush their foes. This does not only occur from within the cockpit; skilled martial artists can also develop certain forms, stances, strikes, and other moves to improve their effectiveness. These little tricks of the trade are represented within Mecha Aces as Techniques. Techniques are associated with a characterâs Attributes. Three Attributes can support piloting techniques, and the remaining two are slated for martial art techniques. Thusly, choosing Techniques for your character is an important decision, as you can only ever have up to five. Techniques, however, are powerful assets to a skilled pilot. They not only inflict potent damage to your foe, but the pilot can also purchase Rises and Falls for them as if they are weapons. This is more accurately described within the Mecha Aces rulebook. Artificial Intelligence While representing Mecha within an RPG, it is important to consider the aspect of AI. Having a potent machine at your disposal is one thing, but to have a thinking partner on the battlefield can produce even greater synergy that that produced by its sheer ability alone. Mecha Aces includes a system of keeping track of a Mechaâs AI in a terse and easy to use way. Using the Mecha Aces system, you can even create a totally sentient robotic character. Racing High technology begs for high speed, so put the pedal to the floor, and hold on! Mecha Aces includes a suite of Racing rules to put your pilots into the seat of the action. A full set of Racing actions are used to adjust the racerâs Throttle, a score of how well they are doing in the race. Obviously, the racer with the highest Throttle score is the current leader of the race. It isnât all about power; many of the racing moves are strategic plays at changing or taking advantage of a racerâs situation, so put your thinking caps and driving gloves on. Stock Settings Mecha Aces includes a variety of sample settings, including back-stories and sample characters. There are four settings included with the rulebook, and each one takes advantage of one or mores optional features from the Toolset, so you can see examples of how they can be used.…

A century after the fall of the Third Imperium, the Fourth Imperium is the bright hope for the future of Charted Space. Leading the fight against the genocidal Dominate, forging trade corridors through the Wilds or rebuilding shattered worlds, the Fourth Imperium stands at the forefront of the great reconstruction. But all is not well within the Imperium. It may be that the founders made one too many compromises, for now internal politics is beginning to weaken the young empire when unity is more vital than ever. Beyond the borders, tensions with the Vilani Imperium are rising, while out in the darkness a thousand worlds call for aid. The Imperium is stretched thin, perhaps too thin, but the call must be answered. Bearers of the Flame details the Imperial political and economic structure, its military forces and other services, and the hierarchy of the Nobility. Imperial High Law is explained, along with the rights and role of electronic beings, defensive and foreign policies, and a wealth of other details that bring the new Imperium to life. Bearers of the Flame presents maps and UWP data four entire sectors of space, ranging from the safe and civilized regions deep within Imperial space to the chaos of devastated Ilelish sector. Several minor powers are also detailed. These pocket empires may be enemies or allies, destinations or starting points for expeditions across the Wilds. This book is a complete guide to the greatest state of Charted Space in the New Era. Never before has the Imperium â" any Imperium â" been developed in such detail.…
