Mecha & Monsters: Evolved - Core Rulebook

Thanks for the feedback! We'll look into it.

if you do decide its worth it, id for sure buy the premium in hardcover to keep as my GM copy and use the paperback i have to pass around the table! hope to see expansions someday too!

Hi Dean,

The hardcover for this will be available. It's under-going an errata update which requires reproofing the book.

Tiny Pirates is certainly not abandoned by the publisher (as the publisher, I would know!) However, if you feel the games are incomplete, it's possible the mechanical presentation and design ideas we're presenting might not be the right fit for what you are looking for? Not every game works for everyone, and sometimes TinyD6 isn't the right fit!

Hi Dylan!

If Mecha & Monsters: Evolved is your only TinyD6 game, I can certainly see how that'd be confusing. Let me try to clarify (and this should have been a sidebar, we'll have to add it to our errata list):

In a standard TinyD6 game, characters decide on a proficient weapon group, and a mastered weapon inside that group (such as "one-handed melee" and then "longsword", or something similar). In M&M:E, the proficiency is determined by the system (as you already alluded to), not by a selection. So while the proficient/mastered paradigm still exists, the need of the game to balance the higher damage output attack opens in systems/evolutions, means there are far less mastered attacks than a standard TinyD6 game.

The text is there due to it's innate nature in the TinyD6 design eco-system, but the unique design paradigm of M&M:E inside the TinyD6 system means it is text that isn't as prevalent as it is in every other book.

I see. I am familiar with TinyD6 a bit through Tiny Dungeon 2e, but I didn't want to make any assumptions about rules carrying over.

So, let me just make sure I'm understanding this right:

-All mecha are Proficient with Light Melee and Light Ranged thanks to the Basic Weapons system. By default all mecha are not Proficient in any Heavy weapon; they gain a Heavy weapon proficiency through a Weapon System (of the ones in the book, that would be Antimatter Missiles, BGS, Kinetic Drillsaw, Main Cannon, Retractable Sword or Thermal Lance; notably a couple of the melee ones specify that they're one-handed, but I guess that overrides the two hands rule?).

-The only Mastered weapon attack in the game besides homebrew is Kinetic Drillsaw. There is no other way short of homebrew to get Master Proficiency on an attack in M&M:E.

Is that correct?

Without reviewing every system mentioned, that is on a basic level, correct.

There will be expansions eventually, and the assumption is that more mastered systems/evolutions will eventually show up!

Got it, thank you!

Yup! We've heard the feedback. It will take some time. We'll also be rolling in some of the corrections and errata found.

Awesome, thank you Alan.

Oh good grief. Multiple edits, from multiple sources, and we all missed that (and the one below.) We'll be getting that sorted. ASAP, as well as getting an errata/clarification sheet up.

Unfortunately, these mistakes happen sometimes.

Just received my POD copy today, and this issue is still prevalent: [DESCRIPTION GOES HERE] for the VCAH.

Nothing like releasing it to the public to find all the errors you thought you caught.

Thanks for letting us know.

All in one!

Thank you!
