1996 Bubblegum Crisis RPG and Star Blade Battalion Mekton Advertisement

This full-page B&W advertisement from Pyramid magazine shows off two R. Talsorian Games products from the mid-nineties.

  • Bubblegum Crisis* was R. Talsorian’s Fuzion roleplaying game based on the Bubblegum Crisis anime series and was one of the most attractive gamebooks the company ever published. The line ran for three books . . . and somewhere in the world is a one-sheet Bubblegum Crisis mini-game they published. I’d like to find that mini-game.
  • Star Blade Battalion Mekton was a new worldbook for the Mekton* roleplaying game, and one of a handful of products the company created for use with the Mekton Zeta RPG.

Both properties spark memories of the mid-nineties, and seeing this ad again leaves me with the desire to create a book all about the giant robot games of the eighties and nineties. I’ve got ideas. I’ve got references. I’ve got skills. Why don’t I have the time?
