This deck of cards? It’s your mech’s battery pack.

Every time you use your mech, you take one step closer to burning out… Finish your missions before you run out of cards and deplete your battery.

What if I told you that you were going to need to push your mech to the limit in these missions? You can PUNCH the big red button on your character sheet for a blackjack-inspired boost. But if you “bust,” you will burn through your energy.

What if I told you that in your missions you will collect loot and spare parts? Using these, you’ll be able to upgrade your mech. Connect the dots on your schematic sheet, and color in your upgrade.

What if I told you that your mech came with an ancient grunge mixtape. It has a mind of its own, playing thematically relevant songs at just the right moment.

What if I told you that this is “Rust Never Sleeps,” a grunge mecha #ttrpg for solo play. And if you claim it on itch before it releases, you will get the beta edition for free when it releases on 5/01/25.

I'm convinced you understand 'Mech pilots

Does the mixtape come in the form of an official playlist, or would we be putting it together as we play?

backwardsttrpg.bsky.social•54 days ago

It starts with an official playlist, but players remove and add their own songs as they progress through missions!

samloewe.com•54 days ago

oh neat! is the playlist already out to listen to, or will it be released alongside the full game?
