Trouble Mechas

An angsty teen Mecha Pilot RPG for 2+ players by Pets Dinner

for the One Page RPG Jam 2025

The year is 2222. It has been 100 years since The Expansion, when human colonists left Earth and made their new homes throughout the Solar System. However, the colonists resisted the Earth’s government’s attempts to regulate and govern them. To the colonists, they saw this as Earth’s overreach and tyranny. To the government of Earth, they saw the colonists as wayward and uncooperative. Whichever view people took, war was inevitable. Now, the armies of both sides are exhausted and turn to their final option: a new breed of human, created to be precocious and devastating warriors, the teenage Pilots.

Now you are thrust onto the front lines in powerful, experimental fighting robots called Mechs. For what cause will you fight? How will you navigate the web of Solar politics and intrigue? How will you reckon with your own humanity?
