light-core
The core-light RPG system is designed exclusively to create mechas and fight with them. No role-play, no level up, no missions, just robots fighting each other.The game has a base version and an advanced version. Both share the same principles and rules, but the last one has more in-depth mechanics for fighting and building your mecha. This system is part of the White Book of Lekan book series's universe, but the lore is only there to give a little context of what the mechas are and possibly why they are fighting, but in the game loop it is only there to give the option to group players in teams.
