Another batch of high-quality PDFs of 1st & 2nd edition Heavy Gear books, hexmaps & counter sheets.  These are expensive, but currently available in a half-priced bundle.  A great deal if you’re a fan of mecha gaming - tabletop rpgs or wargames.

Computer Gaming World April 1997
This issue elaborated on its cover with a preview explaining how FASA was taking its Battletech intellectual property away from Activision, so the computer game company had decided to make a new giant robot computer game drawing on a different giant robot role-playing game (which drew inspiration from a different mecha anime than Battletech had).

Belated Anniversaries:
Mecha Press 1991 through 1993
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Mecha Press was a sister publication to Protoculture Addicts, focusing on mecha anime after PA had become a general anime magazine (it had started as a Robotech fanzine).
The magazine was a wonderful resource for mecha anima fans (a large portion of western anime fandom in the '80s & '90s) with synopses and in-depth episode guides of various mecha anime series' (that could still be hard to come by in those days) as well as articles on related materials such as manga, novels, models, toys, and mecha-themed tabletop games like Mekton, BattleTech & Mecha!. And I would be remiss if I didn't mention that Mecha Press had excellent technical drawings & illustrations, by artists like Dominique Durocher, John Moscato, Alexandre Racine and Ghislain Barbe (@qosmiq).
The tabletop gaming material in Mecha Press stood out to me in particular, as I was just getting interested in gaming again after a hiatus during my teens. I credit Mecha Press with making me the mecha anime fan and mecha gaming fan that I am today.
Mecha gaming was obviously of great interest to the publishers of Mecha Press (IANVS Publications, later Dream Pod 9) as well, as they began creating their own mecha tabletop RPGs, card games and wargames (first Jovian Chronicles and then Heavy Gear). This interest in games eventually led to the undoing of Mecha Press, as it was discontinued when Dream Pod 9 decided to concentrate on producing tabletop games full time.
(Making this post now because, while looking back at old Dream Pod 9/IANVS Publications material in anticipation of the 30th anniversaries of Jovian Chronicles and Heavy Gear, I realized that I had missed commemorating the 30th anniversary of the publication of Mecha Press, the magazine that led to the creation of Dream Pod 9 and their games.)

We got a release date for Heavy Gear RPG 4th edition! Looks like you can get a copy this December (2023).
This is one my later contributions to the project. Always a bitter sweet thing when a project wraps up. It feels like it ends just as I’m starting to get the hang of it.
Check the original article here.

New forms of ROTOM found in the Kroel Region This forms of ROTOM can be found within the abandoned ruins of the first "Neo-Kroel Mega Plaza", a large scale multi level mall that was meant to be one of Neo-Kroel largest shopping centers, but one day its construction simply stopped and the site was abbandoned in a hurry, after a long series of mysterious accidents and disappearences, among many other paranormal events. This ROTOMS have made the ruins their homes and have possesed the powe tools left on site.
Their types are: Hedge Trimmer - Electric/Bug Power Drill - Electric/Steel Roller Compactor - Electric/Ground Jackhammer - Electric/Rock Cement Mixer - Electric/Poison
Tumblr media
After progressing in the history and returning back to the abbandoned plaza, you would gain access to a deeper area of the construction site where larger equipment was stored, if you take the Kroelian ROTOMS to this area and get them close its matching construction vehicle, ROTOM will evolve into ROTOMEISTER
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
ROTOMEISTER keeps the same typing as its previous form but will not be able to change forms like ROTOM does, but the signature move they had will be also upgraded into a more powerful move
Trimmer Form - Electric/Bug Drill Form - Electric/Steel Roller Form - Electric/Ground Hammer Form - Electric/Rock   Mixer Form- Electric/Poison
They all have the ability Technician, but can have the Hidden Ability "Heavy Gear", this ability raises the pokemon ATK if its SPD is raised, and raises its DEF if its SPD is lowered
Tumblr media
And after further progress in the story, you should be able to reach the lowest level of the Abandoned site, where an Item can be found, it is called the Supercharger, this item is special battery that can power up several machines at the same time and was still in its testing phase during the original site construction to energize the machinery
If this item is given to ROTOMEISTER and then it is activated close to the other machines, a new form can be achieved: ROTOMEISTER-V
Tumblr media
ROTOMEISTER-V is the combined form of all possible ROTOMEISTER forms, it is an Electric/Fighting type Any signature move it previously had will become a new even more powerfull move called Demolition  Demolition  Fighting Type  PP 5  Power 150  Acc 90%  -A powerful punch using its arm drill charged with all its energy, this move is treated as Electric type as well, user must   recharge the turn after.  It has the ability Heavy Gear by default
This form can be reverted by taking the Supercharger from ROTOMEISTER-V, returning to a normal ROTOMEISTER
