Science fiction month continues at TGG as I delve into the fast playing, rules light mech roleplaying game Salvage Union. Players take on the roles of mech pilots salvaging from a wasteland in order to survive while looking to stick it to the planet’s corporations and surviving alien invaders. The Workshop Manual contains everything you need to get started including a short introductory adventure.

Be sure to stay tuned because later this month I’ll be sharing reviews of the initial three adventures which have been released for Salvage Union.

SUMMARY

If you're looking for a quick playing, rules light mech game then look no further than Salvage Union. This is a really well put together game with as much focus on the player characters as well as their various mecha. The layout and production quality is excellent and the book will certainly hold up to repeated use at your game table.
