We want to play Tricube Tales!

With the discovery of faster-than-light travel, humanity rapidly spread to distant star systems and began colonizing other worlds. Alien life proved to be primitive and posed no real threat to human technology. But that all changed a decade ago, when humans made first contact with the Xenos.
The Xenos are an aggressive species of interstellar conquerors who ruthlessly wipe out their rivals. As human forces struggled against the invasion of organic warships and bioengineered mutants, scientific minds developed a new weapon to help turn the tide—giant armored robots controlled by human pilots, wielding a fearsome array of weapons and powered by self-recharging energy cores. The Mechs and the urgency of organizing manufacturing and logistics to support them drove the development of an interplanetary military into an interplanetary industrial dictatorship.
Several years have passed since the fall of the empire, which coincided with a retreat of the Xenos, and a newly-formed republic now attempts to restore democratic rule throughout the galaxy. But the fledgling government is still young, and remnants of the former empire continue to operate on the fringes of society, just as new criminal organizations have clawed their way up to fill the power vacuum.
The Laser Knights are a religious order of guardians and protectors, who use their psychic powers and laser swords to maintain peace throughout the galaxy. But these are challenging times, with greed and corruption spreading throughout the republic. Powerful guilds vie with ruthless crime lords, while something even more dangerous lurks in the shadows, pulling the strings.
Meanwhile, is it true that the Xenos will be coming back? The remaining Mechs are not in mint condition.
You are cunning mech pilots. You work with your comrades as part of a special unit that seeks to preserve the Republic against all dangers.

You have been selected to land on the Jungle Planet of Ramen and locate an old Imperial depot that is supposed to contain hundreds of spare mech actuators. It is unknown what obstacles you may face!

Tricube Tales has many different settings available. https://www.drivethrurpg.com/product/294202/Tricube-Tales. Would anyone like to play a simple fast moving game?

That could be fun. I'd be interested.

I'm interested too! :)
How many people are you looking for?
Apr 8, 2022 1:24 pm
I'm looking for 3-5.

An option we have, if no one else pops in this week, is to use the Tricube Solo oracle to "collaborate" with all of us pitching in story ideas as well. We could rotate whose turn it is to consult the oracle and add special sauce.

I'm thinking a post rate of at least 4 times a week.

I'd be up for giving that a try. My preference would be finding the 3-5 players, though.

I can usually do daily posts. (timezone CET)

If you need a third, I'll be your huckleberry. I bought Tricube a month ago or so but haven't done anything with it. Yet.

Great!

Everybody please kick in your TOP FOUR settings from the Tricube bundle. Let's see if we have commonality. If not: d12.

As a big fan of TriCube, I'm really glad to see this little game getting some GP love. If you could use a fourth, I'd be very happy to join in. I'd vote for: Metahuman Uprising, Chrome Shells & Neon Streets, and any of the InterStellar settings (Bounty Hunters, Troopers, or Laser Knights).

Alternately, they don't officially have a setting based on Supernatural, but I don't think it would be too hard to port Carry On (https://www.drivethrurpg.com/product/337290/Carry-On) from the 24XX system to TriCube, and that would be awesome too.

Mechs, Superheroes, Samhain Slaughter would be my top three. But if I could change my fourth to a down vote it would go to Zombie Apocalypse. That genre just doesn't grab me these days. I'm not saying it's bad it just doesn't interest me without a big twist.

Mechs
O K ! We have a clear preference for a bashing together of the four Interstellar settings. I'll get to work on that. You all, please come up with characters. Once I propose a scenario, we can find reasons for them to be there (and already banded together? Your choice!)

EDIT TO ADD It seems like bashing Mech War against the other three will cause some sparks, they won't easily weld together. Could we do "dismounted" scenario where Dreamblade runs a Trooper, then a "mounted" scenario where all four of you are piloting mechs?

I'm fine with Mechs. Love mechs really.
Apr 9, 2022 4:54 pm
I'm good with Mechs too.
Apr 9, 2022 5:04 pm
Hey, if we all want to do Mechs then that will work!

(I will need to rework the first post, but that's not gonna be hard. Stand by ...)
