Introduction

Hello reader! This is MSG: The RPG! Basically a Homebrewed Mech RPG I have been
putting spare time into and testing and running to try makin a system that will allow people to
play gundam themed tabletop RPGs(made this before i heard of Mekton Z). Currently, it has
stats and weapons for Mobile Suits, characters, and basic weapons. This system is based off of
2 systems i have most experience with, which are Only War, and Anima, which both use a D100
system. More is explained below in the rest of the Doc.

Enjoy!!

 Character Creation

Create a name, age and backstory for your character. As for your stats, roll 10 d100s and reroll all rolls
less then 30, except for the lowest roll, even if it is under 30, do not reroll that one, instead add 5 points to
its value. Assign these 10 rolls on whatever stats you'd like

Combat Rules
Skirmishes or combat will be resolved using a d100 system, based off rolling
for the action, while adding your skill in it to the base roll. For example,

Bill in his old Zaku II is engaging a federation GM in combat, and fires his bazooka
at the GM. He rolls a 75 off his d100, and adds his shooting skill to this, which is 70. His
total roll is 145. The GM pilot rolls evasion, rolling a 50, but adding his piloting skill of 30,
as well as his mobile suits mobility, which is 30 in this case to his roll, totaling up to 110.
The Rocket hits; However, the GM uses it shield to absorb the hit, which is destroyed by
the rockets impact, which has the Explosive Trait, that instantly destroys any part it hits.

After hitting a target, a roll is made to determine the hit location, going off
the table included in the ​Damage and Health ​section of the Manual. Once a hit
location has Been rolled, the damage is resolved. Damage is usually a roll of the
weapons damage die pool, such as a 3d6+3,adding modifiers from traits, like AP,
which reduces enemy armor value, then subtracting the targets armor value. The
attack then, if it does deal damage, subtracts from the enemy mobile suits’
Endurance, which is the equivalent to HP. dealing 20% of an enemy Mobile Suit’s
Endurance in one hit destroys the Limb it hit, while shots to the reactor or cockpit
of a Mobile Suit totalling over 5 damage Cause the Reactor to explode, or for the
cockpit, kill the pilot, leaving the MS available for salvaging. Shields help increase
the survival rate however, as they add a buff to piloting rolls to defend
Surrender
It is possible to make enemies surrender, however, to succeed, they must have at least half their
endurance depleted, or under special circumstances determind by your DM, and you must make
3 successful charisma checks, against their willpower, and they will be rolling to succeed 3
checks against you to continue fighting. During a turn of trying to convince enemies to
surrender, said pilot will be focussed on persuading said enemy.

Damage and Health

Mobile suits are built in the shape of a human, thus can take damage to their
individual limbs and body. The standard Hit table for a regular MS is below.

Body Parts Hit roll

Head 1-10

Chest 11-40

Left Arm 41-55

Right Arm 56-70

Left Leg 71-80

Right Leg 81-90

Special 91-100

Health is listed as Endurance on a MS, and is used in conjunction with Armor to

protect the suit from damage. Armor is a damage cancelling stat on every MS,
reducing incoming damage by the amount of armor the MS has, so 10 damage on a
5 armor MS is actually 5 damage dealt. Hitting limbs for more than 20% of a
mech’s total Endurance will destroy the limb.

Critical Hits & Failures

Due to the system being based off dice roll totals, critical hits are when you
succeed a roll by over 100 points, meaning in the case of a shot fired, you can pick
the targeted spot on an enemy suit to hit, or when you’re dodging, you’re able to
make a free counterattack. an automatic success on other rolls. Crit failures are
automatic catastrophic failures of an attempt, which occur by rolling a 5 or under
in an attempt at something, or in a fight, allowing a counterattack. Rolling a 90 or
higher allows you to roll again and add the n ew roll as well.

Mobile Suits
Every MS(Mobile Suit) is a model built with a purpose or general design
concept in mind, leading to each model type having unique statistics and strengths,
as well as holdable weaponry. Each mobile suit has 5 main stats:

Armor:​ The ability of a mobile suit’s body to absorb incoming attacks without
taking Damage. The armor value reduces damage dealt by the armor value plus any
traits the increase or lower armor.

Endurance:​ The endurance of a Mobile Suit is its ability to take damage before
being destroyed or crippled. Endurance is essentially health, and also affects how
easy it is to remove limbs or body parts from a Mobile suit

Actions:​ Actions are the amount of things a Mobile suit can do in the time of a
turn, with more actions meaning more can be done. Certain skills can increase or
decrease the number of actions

Agility:​ The Agility of a mobile suit is its ability to move around, which affects its
movement range, and it’s dodging ability. The 10 place of the Agility is the amount
of cm a Mobile suit can move with 1 action, while the Agility score is added to
dodge rolls

Strength:​ Strength is the ability of a mobile suit’s internal motors and joints, and
thus its ability to grab, punch, or overpower other mobile suits.
Reactor:​ The Reactor of a mobile suit affects its performance by determining if it
can use beam weapons, or what strength beam weaponry it can use. 20 Reactor
energy is required at least to use beam guns, but more reactor power means more
powerful beam guns.

Psycommu Weapons/Bits and Funnels

Bits and Funnels are remote controlled weapons used by Newtypes and controlled
with their minds. These weapons will appear on the field as individual Units, and
will make their rolls using Willpower of the Newtype using them.

Example Bit Stats

WIP
Large battle resolution
Major battles will be fought through the rolls of d100s by the DM and the
player, each rolling against a base of 50, modified by various modifiers, such as
“Ace Pilots”, “Titan Training”, etc. The DM rolls against the player’s arrayed
forces, while the highest ranking player involved in the battle rolls for his forces.
The rolls shall decide the momentum of the battle, as each side will roll against its
own DC, and the higher the success, the damage dealt by each fleet and damage
sustained, as well as whether actions the commander undertakes in the battle, from
boarding enemy ships to collateral damage occur.
