Mekton: Difference between revisions

 

=== Fan Settings ===

 

A new edition of ''Mekton'' has been bandied around for over a decade now under various names such as ''Mekton Double Zeta'' and ''Mekton ZERO''. However, the game itself has been essentially out of print and all attempts to revive it have thus far resulted in extensive delays and cancellations. Mike Pondsmith has, however, informed the Mekton Z mailing list that he's working on Mekton Zero. Given that RTG finally released Cyberpunk V3 after all these years, there may yet be hope.

** A handful of the game breakers can be negated by a watchful referee, especially if they require the players to run all designs by them. The easiest of these to spot are the scaling exploits, in which a munchkin tries to design a game-breaking mekton abusing the scaling rules.

** Burst (especially Burst Infinite) can easily become this, if used right. It is quite possible, in Mekton Zeta, to create an [[Rule of Cool|energy chainsaw]] that can quite literally saw a battleship in half, every other turn (using the 'cooldown' turns to close in on a new target) for about a hundred points.

* [[Humongous Mecha]] ([[Captain Obvious|Duh.]])

* [[Incredibly Lame Pun]] (Many mecha and character names. And not just in the fan settings. ''North Frozen'', ferchrissake...)
