ION Heart RPG Pilot's Handbook

In ION Heart RPG Pilot's Handbook you play your own story under the stars, all on your own. You create a pilot and a mech that travel the galaxy together. Where war once reigned, the Astral Union has now arisen: a peaceful coming together of cultures that once united against a common enemy. The fighting is over, and that means your giant robot is looking for a new purpose. What is a mech's place in a universe without war? You find out step by step. The beauty of this game lies in the bond between you and your mech. Your robot has already lived many lives, from weapon to circus performer, and together you go looking for a home among the planets. You come up with your own pilot with their own background and talents, and you build your mech exactly as you want, with upgrades and a history that you invent yourself. The stronger your bond becomes, the more your mech's ION Core can do. That way your robot grows along with you and memories of earlier lives slowly come to the surface. Play revolves around Settlements and Story Circuits. You create your own planet and a settlement that becomes your home base. From there you head out, talk with the inhabitants and start stories that can be all sorts of things, from a mystery about disappearing mega-sheep to a memorial for the fallen. This handbook of more than a hundred pages holds everything you need: rules, background stories, a planet builder and options for both quiet and exciting adventures. So you can discover the galaxy entirely your own way.
