Excerpt

High-octane action requires mechanics that can scale from street-level vigilantism to titanic clashes that level city blocks. This companion provides the rules for running high-energy, trope-heavy anime and superhero campaigns. You will command Kaiju Defense mechs, transform into starlight magical guardians, battle in spiritual martial tournaments, patrol cyber-feudal cities as ninjas, and wield willpower energy rings. Mechanics like Titan Threat levels, Transformation clocks, Mecha Sync Ratios, and Ki Charging ensure that high-power actions feel spectacular, fast, and emotionally anchored.
