‘Starfinder: Mechageddon’ – Canceling the Apocalypse One Mech at a Time
Mechs fighting kaiju, the fate of a planet at stake, and pilots about to become galactic celebrities await you in Starfinder: Mechageddon.
Cue up the Ramin Djawadi ft. Tom Morello hit, Pacific Rim Main Theme which has no right to a name so plain for a song that goes as absolutely hard as it does, because it’s time to cancel a planetwide apocalypse all from the safety of the cockpit of your mech. This is the adventure that justifies Starfinder’s whole existence, in my opinion. Because you play as mech pilots who have to fight giant monsters and save the world from a shadowy third force.
Newly out, and arriving in PDF tomorrow, the new Starfinder campaign takes you from rookie pilots to galactic celebrities. And if you’re lucky, you’ll only lose about an hour each session referencing the 2013 movie that made everyone realize just how much Guillermo del Toro liked both Portal and Neon Genesis: Evangelion.
Starfinder: Mechageddon – Cancel Daimalko’s Apocalypse, If You Can
Of course, all of this is dependent on you liking Starfinder, which is its very own unique flavor of Paizo game. It’s currently transitioning to a 2nd Edition, due out later this year, but there are definitely some rough edges in the system. However, the new mechs and the structure of the campaign which includes built-in “interludes” to help with the pacing, feel very cool.
If nothing else, the idea of new mech campaign rules is enough to pique anyone’s interest.
On a rugged planet crawling with colossi—terrifying kaiju that demolish cities with fearsome power—courageous mech pilots battle monsters to protect the world’s people. As the war for control of planet Daimalko rages on, a mysterious third power plots to use an ancient artifact to purge the planet of all life. It’s time for Daimalko’s defenders to suit up against a new threat!
This 184-page hardcover campaign tells the story of rookie mech pilots on Daimalko, starting out as city defenders and venturing to the stars as the heroes become galactic celebrities. This epic campaign spans levels 3 to 18 and features new mechs, bonus adventures designed to slot into the campaign as interludes or stand on their own as one-shots, mech-sized maps, and more. Mechageddon! is an exciting introduction to mech combat and the Starfinder RPG, packed with adventure content and new rules you can use to build the ultimate mech campaign!
