SACRED MACHINATIONS

About SACRED MACHINATIONS

When ancient monsters re-awaken, five resistance fighters must embrace their destinies as divinely endowed mech pilots—despite clashing duties and domains. These pilots are Yazrin Wali, a mechanic-turned-mech prodigy who only feels human in the cockpit; Ifunanya, a bionic experiment designed to be the perfect pilot; Five, a simple farmer who’s secretly struggling with their path; Dr. Nemesis Zhong, a renowned but reckless xenogeneticist; and Sirin Wolfe, a former hero of the resistance grown old in the shadow of grief. SACRED MACHINATIONS is the official actual play of the upcoming TTRPG of the same name inspired by Gundam, metaphysical narratives, diverse approaches to divinity. Starring GM Lexi McQueen (he/they/she) and players Connie Chang (they/he/she), Stellaluna (she/they), Drakoniques (he/they), Sea Thomas (they/them), and Hamnah Shahid (any pronouns). SACRED MACHINATIONS uses an original (and soon-to-be-released) tabletop roleplaying game of the same name written and developed by Drakoniques and Powered by Fabula Ultima.
