All Systems Go

The magnetohydrodynamic chamber is initiated.

The catastrophic interruption reserve circuits are engaged.

The destructive interference convection scanner is proliferated.

The nucleonic particle capacitor has been flushed.

The node-first pathfinding locomotion search is mobilized.

It's time for launch.  All systems are go.

ALL SYSTEMS GO is a solo mech RPG that aims to capture the tactile feel of going through a startup sequence for a mech.  One step at a time, you initialize and prepare your Components (which you chose yourself to build your mech).  But make sure you take the correct steps, in the correct order.  If you don't do your startup sequence correctly, your mech will Malfunction!  Malfunctions can damage your mech and make future Missions more difficult, and reduce the Victory Points you receive for your mission completion.  If you don't get enough Victory Points by the end of your campaign, you won't succeed in your goal.  On the other hand, if you do succeed, you can return to base, repair your mech, and advance your skills for future campaigns.

In order to take your startup steps, our core mechanic is technobabble.  You must accurately reproduce a technobabble phrase for each of your components, in an order determined by the priority of your startup steps.  Our example above is real gameplay; these are actual game mechanics you must successfully reproduce to correctly start up your mech.  And you'll have to do it without any notes or assistance, unless you select components that let you!

Also included is the ALL SYSTEMS GO Campaign Book.  The campaign book includes everything that you need to create your own missions and campaigns, as well as twelve campaigns for you to explore the universe with, from The White-Lake Revolt to The Absolute Clown Fiesta.

The Campaign is engaged.  The Mission is starting.  Are your systems ready to go?
