I just feel like if you say "system doesn't matter" and you're a game designer I don't know how I'm expected to ever take your games seriously.

a book full of mecha and tables, how could I not. I've spend more time looking at the PDFs of Mekton zeta, so I really wanted some part of it in physical print, even if I doubt I'll ever actually play it.
