2025 Event
The Grand Mecha Melee: And the Coming Doom
Short Description
Pilot your giant battling mechanized machines and lead them to glory on the Imperator’s sludge world in a grand competition for honor, glittering prizes, and secrets.
Long Description
Commanders of gigantic mechanized machines gather allies and weapons, outsmart opponents, uncover secrets, win duels, and (hopefully) save the entire universe now that the Great War is over.
Talk, plot, quest, use your resources, and compete. (Not a Boffer-LARP, this is theatrical style megagame-like mixed with resource management and statistics.)
Factions
You will belong to the Imperial Cohort who govern the Empire, or you will represent one of its many previously warring factions, like the alien Aelfs with their obnoxiously over-large swords, the ostensibly neutral communications network spreading news, the mysteriously intricate Church with its strange bespoke traditions of worship, or the organizing zealous new-established United Socialist Union, the drug-addled gambling-addicted libertarian youth-focused Extremely Free League, the eccentric mages with their inscrutably weird “power” system that requires them to work with others, the borderline-insane chaos-wielders who (most probably) are going to channel too much sanity power and completely lose their already-fragile grip on reality (but hey, maybe you can do better), or you could join the free agent grinning “friendly” mercenary Wulf’s Dragons who serve everyone and no one save themselves (and who need a lot of funds to keep themselves afloat).
Quests
You’ll go on Quests, recovering items and Resources. You’ll fight battles in the Grand Melee. You’ll accomplish personal goals. You’ll work together and against each other. You’ll vote for a leader and you’ll rise or fall together.
Mega Edition
The Mega Edition of Renaissance World focuses on powerful actions, traits, and items, rather than numerical statistics; however, this event also involves tracking statistics for your mechanized battling robots.
Conflicts are resolved via rock/paper/scissors, modified by abilities.
