Salvager! This all-new Salvage Union Bundle presents Salvage Union, the rules-light post-apocalyptic tabletop roleplaying game from Leyline Press about ragtag pilots who scour the ruined wasteland in scrap-built mechs. The corporations stripped the world bare, and giant Bio-Titans and alien nanite goop infest the land. But your rustbucket mechs still rumble across the wasteland, funding your freedom one wreck at a time. As you jury-rig, repair, and claw your way across the wastes, every mission is a gamble – between profit and survival, between what you scavenge and what you lose. In gritty, desperate, and very human adventures about collaboration, risk, and moral compromise, the high-stakes consequences of your choices hit as hard as missiles.
There's a new #BundleOfHolding up for #SalvageUnion. $20 for what i suspect is the whole run.
I haven't had a chance to check this out direclty, but I was very tempted by the Kickstarter and the vibes are still really appealing: I'm a sucker for any kind of story about maintaining technology with whatever ragtag bits and bobs can be scavenged.
Seems like a perfect way to sample it.

@e_eric You know, I think I have to put something on the table about this game. I was really just about to commit to picking it up.
I love the visual aesthetic of the work. I love the layout. I love the packaging. I'm an absolute sucker for giant robot settings in general.
The problem is that the setting itself, in terms of political and social setup, bores the living snot out of me. Yet Another Corporations/Capitalism Is Bad™.
Aren't we done beating that same boring, been-done-and-better-by-cyberpunk setup? Enough.
That's what kept me from buying it because I have plenty of games which tell me that corporations and being able to buy and sell freely are terrible things even as they are trying to get me to freely buy something of theirs.
I had no idea if anyone had told the creators this before, but man, it really needs to be said at least once.
