Revision as of 20:21, 4 August 2005
I am in the middle of ranking the various other entries in the Mech A RPG.
For the sake of curtosey, I automatically place myself at 0 in every category, but to be honest, I didn't enter this contest seriously thinking I'd win it... it was mostly to see whether or not I could design a RPG without a trace of 'furriness' in it. That it's unfinished isn't that important, it's a success in my eyes.

Combat
Completeness
Completeness counts double.
Dreadful Tide: Holy cow. Far and away the victor in this category, it's 95 dense pages of stuff -- they made a commercial RPG without telling anyone.
Extinction: Extinction hits the 32-page goal exactly. However, it seems a little light on the content.
Guerilla Earth: 60 pages of content. Includes psi, sample mecha...
Mecha Wars: It's very heavy on the fiction and the background (14/37 pages), and it loses for it.
- 8 points: Dreadful Tide
- 6 points: Guerilla Earth
- 4 points: Extinction
- 2 points: Mecha Wars
