Tex Mechs - Ashcan Edition

Disclaimer: This game is offered for free AS IS. This is an fully written and playable RPG but the amount of work that it would take to turn it into a commercial product is beyond my ability right now. 

What is this game? 

Tex Mechs is a fun little economic and agricultural simulation RPG set in a post apocalyptical kaiju dominated Earth where you and your fellow players run a Kaiju Ranching operation and a good portion of your business involves cool mecha-sized gunfights. 

In Tex Mechs you play as mech riders. Agricultural workers who lead megasized Kaiju Cattle Drives from ranches deep in the American wilderness to fortress cities like Chicago, New Orleans or Atlanta. In the world of Tex Mechs kaiju are economically important livestock and mechs are agricultural equipment. 

Tex Mechs was inspired by TTRPGs like Troika!, Apocalypse World, Traveller and The Mecha Hack. It was also inspired by movies and TV shows like Godzilla, Gamera and Ultraman.  The final inspiration for Tex Mechs is of course cowboy culture and cowboy history. 

What this game is: 

This downloadable file is an ashcan edition of Tex Mechs.

This is a fully written and playable TTRPG with over a dozen character options, 36 fully modable mechs, a deep economics based setting and dozens of enemies to do battle against. 

 This is an unfinished version of the game available for those who are curious. There is no art in this book and the numbers related to overland travel times and economics later in the book are completely un tested.  The book is mostly edited but I would not be shocked at all to learn some typos slipped through the cracks. That is why I am offering this game up for free. I am proud of the work I put into this product and I hope you enjoy it too.
