Year: 20XX.  Theater of War: Pacific Rim.  Campaign: Crisis at Titanium IslesImagine your favorite tabletop RPG or actual play podcast took place in an anime-inspired mecha setting. Now imagine that world was real.In a near-future alternate timeline, four young heroes are summoned to the top-secret Operation Aegis Drift to pilot experimental Mechs as the world teeters on the brink of catastrophic war.An urgent blend of action, upgrades, relationships, and world-building. WHAT TO EXPECT: - Inspired by my love of listening to Actual Play TTRPG podcasts. - Party-based adventure with four diverse MCs. - Loop of exploration, combat, upgrades, and roleplay. - Events unfold in PRESENT TENSE, just like a TTRPG session. - This adventure path / book takes our MCs from Level 1 to Level 7 – no overpowered characters yet. - Instead of epic fantasy or far future space opera, this TTRPG setting is a near-future alternate timeline. - A cross between Western (e.g., Mechwarrior) and Eastern (e.g., Gundam, Neon Genesis Evangelion) style Mecha fiction. - Anime tropes: purple haired girls, animal mascots, giant robots, laser swords, psionic powers. Doesn’t appeal to you? No problem! Lots of awesome stories out there to read instead!
