Summary: We are joined in studio by none other than Chris Perrin, creator of the Mecha RPG available from Heroic Journey Publishing. Chris discusses his new Kickstarter project, Mecha Combiners, and we talk KantCon a little. We talk inspiration for Mecha, and other place where Mecha can be found in games.

About Mecha Metal and Flesh In battlefields on Earth, in space, and on realms known only to imagination, brave men and women answer the call of fate. They leave behind their simple lives and become pilots of giant armed robots, called mecha, opening a world filled with excitement and danger. Live and Die No matter their beginnings, mecha are tools of war! Pilots will soon learn that with the awesome power of their mecha, comes the awesome responsibility to fight the evil gods of the Living City, put down the Separatist Guard’s shameful rebellions, topple unjust kings and his lackies, the Arbor Defense Force, find love with the Cheerleader Captain, and get to class before the Vice Principal finds out. Such is the life of a mecha pilot. Together As One No pilot faces these trials alone. A pilot will always have his mecha to be strong where he is weak and protect him in the face of unspeakable danger. Also, the pilot will always be there for his mecha, who needs to be led to glory on the battlefield. Mecha… The RPG This is mecha-style anime role playing at its finest.
