Metal Position
Robot Fighting Cassettes
Metal Position: Robot Fighting Cassettes is an instant battle TTRPG about exchanging mixtapes that turn into robots and making them fight, in and around a community radio station in the mid 2000s.
This game is about memory and music, community and sadness in a particular time when the best way to express your feelings was still to record a cassette tape.
There’s two competing themes in Metal Position; the crashing hearts of over-feeling community radio programmers, and robot fights.
