This is the Basic edition of the ruless, stripped down and available for free. For the full book complete with art, see: https://www.drivethrurpg.com/product/379152/Armour-Astir-Advent

Armour Astir: Advent is a high-fantasy roleplaying game about striking back against an authority that seeks to control you.

It is a game of rival pilots clashing in steel-clad Astirs, of soldiers holding their own against the odds, and of spies and diplomats twisting the world to their ends. It is not a game of careful preparation or pleasant truces;

It's hard to change the world without taking a risk.

Armour Astir: Advent is a PBTA game where the players use their wits, expertise, and their huge magical mechs to fight back against an oppressive power. A love letter to mecha anime and fantasy fiction broadly, Armour Astir is designed to evoke the feel and pace of shows like Mobile Suit Gundam and Escaflowne in an accessible, narrative-focused format: without skimping out when it comes to the exciting action.

Featuring;

• Four 'Channeler' playbooks - magical mecha pilots who stride into battle in a custom Astir
• Four 'Support' playbooks - the engineers, spies and diplomats whose skills lie off the battlefield
• Customised Astirs - players may pick from examples, or design their own mech as part of character creation
• Health/Harmless combat - players must force their opponents into a corner by making them take risks or putting them in peril
• Simple Factions & Conflict Turn - The Authority makes claims and gains hold on Factions who must block their efforts
