Dec. SNSO: CHROME For the Holidays!


The end of 2018 is near! And the season of giant robot fighting has officially begun! This December we we're giving you a titanic twofer three-fer and going CHROME FOR THE HOLIDAYS! What better way to top off a fantastic year of scifi adventures than with massive mecha-load of fun to get your servos spinning?

Choose from two fantastic RPGs. The first is a Mecha Vs. Kaiju Fate Core game from John Till...


WIDOW-MAKER BOMBARDIER BEHEMOTH!
You are a member of the  elite Widow-Maker Bombarder team on Science Island in the Philippines. Of course, you're a teenager! Of course, your parents are mad scientists who created two generations of mecha: first to fight the Marcos Dictatorship, and later to defend your homeland against the monstrous Leviathans and Behemoths who invade from foreign lands and boil out of the very seas around the Philippine Islands.

And in case you're in for some rock'em-sock'em robots style fun via Savage World: RIFTS, from Matt Towle...


WHEN THE LIGHTS GO DOWN ON ISHPEMING!
Sunday! SUNDAY! SUNDAY!! At the Robodome!! What happens when a colossal robot crashes town during the semi finals of the Robot Gladiator Championships? Dwarfing even the largest human-piloted mechs, the gleaming silver titan seems to have nothing but destruction on its mind. The army can't stop it, the police can't stop it, but can your tricked-out gladiators come together as a team and put a stop to the COLOSSUS OF ISHPEMING?

You'd THINK we'd run out of room with all those giant robots running around, but word has it there might be a Robotech miniatures game to take on a few challengers.
If you're nice to Erik Mornes, maybe he'll let you roll dice while he slaughters your forces on the battlefield!
