What Will I Do When You're Gone?
You are a mech. Mission after mission, a pilot gets in. Many don’t come out, at least not in one piece. You remain, a reminder of the fallen.Play out the downtime actions of a succession of mech pilots, as tensions rise within a squad of mercenaries. There is no avoiding the squad dissolving, the pilots scattered to the winds or dead. But what leads to that tipping point? Content Warning: This game deals heavily with death. It is never shown. There is no glory in it. There may be blood shown, after the fact.  A GMless tabletop roleplaying game for 3 or more players. Written for the Emotional Mecha Jam 2019. #sadmechjam
