The Machines We Built
A downloadable robot RPG
THE MACHINES WE BUILT
is a narrative tabletop RPG for 1 GM and up to 5 players about robots solving problems in a world that humanity has left behind. It's about history, legacy, cooperation, and the eternal endurance of human (or human-like) ingenuity.
You'll need at least 6 six-sided dice to play, preferably 6 per player. The GM, or Administrator, facilitates this once-ours world of apocalypse and actuators, while the players will power up...
> The Apparatus, built to shelter us, driven to survive us
> The Engine, built to deliver us, driven to outpace us
> The Instrument, built to resemble us, driven to echo us
> The Toaster, built to serve us, driven to remember us
> The Weapon, built to destroy us, driven to erase us
Together, these machines we built will explore the wasteland, hunt for Power Sources and upgrades, defeat dangerous mechanical monstrosities, and learn what it means to be human in a world with none left.
