Bringing a baby up to the bridge of a battleship to see if you can use him as some sort of newtype radar is one of the most “subtext is for cowards” moments in Victory Gundam. Tomino!!! You can’t keep getting away with this!!!

Yooooooooo
Tomorrow, we'll be hosting our fourth Bagong Laro RPG day (and the last one for the year).

We'll have three tables: Gubat Banwa, Reach of the Roach God (using OSE) and A Goon's Guide to the Galaxy.

(And if any Manileños see this, we've still got room forms.gle/16Sgkv6SVSEG... )

Speaking of SPEEDMECH... converted the playtest sheets to landscape and updated to modular action slots in anticipation of some physical playtesting.

Realised the kits I’ve cut so far have been stabby boys. I do love misguided/loyal knights whose ideals and loyalty cause them to rush head first into situations they shouldn’t.
