mecha roleplaying general /mrg/

Gonna bump this and ask my own question.

How does Adeptus Evangelion fare for a oneshot?
I'm looking at the pdf's and it seems like i might be better off with a different system for just one session.

>might be better off with a different system

The general consensus seems to be that CthulhuTech is a cool setting that suffers from a bad system -- some say terrible. I've seen it compared to Rifts in that regard.

That doesn't answer my question.

I can only tell you what I've heard -- which is that its system blows. Your comment, "it seems like i might be better off with a different system for just one session" seems to confirm that.

For a one-shot session, perhaps something with a fairly simple system, like Fate? There's a Fate mecha game called "Apotheosis Drive X."

I have a soft spot for Paladium's Robotech if only because it was the second rpg I ever played

Man, Chuck Walton is such a good artist... but damn is Palladium's ruleset awful.

Chuck has some of the best mech designs

He bites sometimes, but he bites from the best, and not too much. So it's cool. He's definitely a top-notch mecha draftsman. He's no Don Figueroa, but then nobody is except Don.
