Reactors & Romance

Reactors & Romance is a rules-light, narrative-focused, one-shot-oriented RPG featuring mechs and flirting.

Players take on the role of a hot-shot mech pilot with only two ways of problem solving: flirt your way through with your romantic charm, or fight your way out with your mech. Your ability to do either is measured with one stat, your HEAT. Your HEAT measures both how hot your mech’s reactor is getting, and how hot of a pilot you are. Your mech will get less and less reliable as it builds up heat and takes on damage. Fortunately, you have always done your best flirting under pressure.

Game play is inspired by Lasers and Feelings, All Out of Bubble Gum, and Thirsty Sword Lesbians, with the over-the-top mecha action of Promare and Gurren Lagann.

What You Will Need
3-6 players (including a GM)
1 d6 per player and GM
Tokens to use for Keepsakes (optional)

Physical copies of Reactors & Romance are available through The Fabric Treasury.com

"I could not stop smiling while playing Reactors & Romance. The games all about building connections, firing missiles and when all else fails trying to flirt (sometimes very badly) your way out of scenarios. Reactors & Romance is the rare game where failure and success are just exciting as each other. In the words of Mega XLR 'You dig giant robots! I dig giant robots! We dig giant robots! Chicks dig giant robots! Nice!'"
