Lancer, Mecha Hack, or other Mecha-based games

In short I'm looking for a Lancer game (although that may be difficult to run via PbP given the necessity for tactical maps, so I realize that's a big ask).

Would also be up for Mecha Hack, which is much simpler and more streamlined, and thus probably much more suited to PbP.

I am not too familiar with other mecha games, but I am potentially willing to try others.

What are you looking for out of a mech game? Are you interested in the crunch of the system or are you just wanting to play in a mech game?

I don’t know Lancer well at all, but I know of a few Universal systems that I was thinking of trying to run a mech game in (mostly Cortex Prime) if you’re interested in something else. Cortex Prime is pretty straightforward and I could probably teach you what you needed to know pretty quickly and easily.

You can respond here or throw me a rmail if you’re interested

In reply to LightningLad (msg # 3):

I would love to see what you would do with Cortex Prime. I adored the Hammerheads setting in the core book.

I'm recruiting for a real robot game using Cortex Prime.  Cortex Prime is a narrative-dice pool game, kind of like Genesys, if you haven't heard of it.  It should be really straight forward and easy to learn if you don't have access to the book.

The game I'm thinking of takes place in the near future on a planet similar to but different than Earth.

An island appeared in the middle of an ocean a few years ago.  No contact has been established.  Any drones or people that go into it, vanish.  They don't return radio calls or anything else.  It's a black box.

Then about a year after the island appears, attacks begin around the world.  Armies in unknown uniforms and armor, war machines the world have never seen before, attack the unprepared and unwilling.  After fighting these forces, it seems like one company has a tool that can help: a 30 foot tall humanoid warmachine, a Titan! The forces of the world have banded together, forming the Union to fight the forces of Phantom Obsidian, the only known leader behind the enemy.

Only a few Titans have been made and assembled and your crew have been chosen to be some of the first riders.
