Heavy Gear (1st Edition)

A science-fiction game system set four millennia in the future, combining roleplaying and tactical combat. The roleplaying rules use six-sided dice to resolve conflicts, while the tactical system can be played independently or alongside the RPG. Optional rules support tabletop play with metal miniatures, and additional rules cover a Heavy Gear fighter card game with multiplayer and duel formats. The book also introduces the setting and provides descriptions and game statistics for eight Heavy Gears, four ground vehicles, and two striders.
