Going to run an Armored Core inspired oneshot game this Friday (more precisely AC2, as it's set on Mars).
Any adventure ideas? I could just run them through a few missions with some hot mech-on-mech action (and I will), possibly some one-sided contract termination, but I know they wouldn't mind some opportunity for RP-ing outside the mechs.

So, something like Front Mission -1/ 8th Ms team esque game?
Mercenaries or Regular soldiers story?

Probably mercs, since the protags of AC usually are. But I could probably still change that.

It's a one shot, so make sure SHIT GOES DOWN. Plenty of action, start out with some atmosphere setting like mech maintenance, hangar banter, nice easy mission to get everyone's ass slide into their seat. Then *WHAM* shit is going down. Everyone is up to their eyeballs in shit. Physical ammo is getting used up, batteries are running low, parts are getting destroyed. Not everyone makes it out alive. Corporate warfare is a bitch.

It's a test run for a mecha module I'm working on for Strike!
>How long is your session planned for?
About 6 hours tops.

2 already signed on, I'm looking for a third.
Funnily enough I was looking to do a For Answer inspired campaign. Any one have an idea what system I should be using?

OP here.
Although I'm going to use Strike, ChromeStrike is AC: the game.

Cheers man, big help. Good luck with your game

Thanks famalam.Inconspicuous bump

ChromeStrike can be a little tough to handle. The more time you spend with it, the more you come to realize that it's not finished.
Still, I've been having a lot of fun with it.

If you want to get multiple missions knocked out, then you better have some fast combat.
Also, do the leadup to the Frightener insurrection.

I remember reading Lunar Reckoning 69 a long time ago and thinking that it would work pretty well.

Strike! is pretty fast, thankfully.
>Also, do the leadup to the Frightener insurrection.
Yeah, I have been wiki-ing AC2, and that seems ideal. Been like ages since I played that game, but I remember it being my favorite of the series.
Bump before sleep.
