The Classic Mecha TRPG Wares Blade Launches on Kickstarter

Tabletop gaming fans have a new project to get excited about. LionWing Publishing has officially launched their Kickstarter campaign for Wares Blade. This classic Japanese TRPG is famous for being the first major commercial mecha RPG, and it is finally making its way to Western players in a fully translated format.

Wares Blade offers a unique blend of giant robot action and magical systems. Fans of series like Vision of Escaflowne will feel right at home with the game style. Players can choose from 40 different magical mecha, known as Ryude, and engage in fast combat rounds. The system uses a d10 mechanic and features a clever Luck dice pool that keeps every battle tense and unpredictable.

LionWing has a strong track record for bringing Japanese tabletop games to a wider audience, and this campaign is already a major success. With funding goals exceeded, the project is officially moving forward. Backers can choose from a variety of tiers starting at 30 dollars for digital rewards, all the way up to premium collector editions featuring acrylic stands and custom dice.

If you want to add this piece of gaming history to your collection, you have until September 18 to support the campaign. It is a great chance to secure the base rulebook and extra physical goods for your next gaming session.
