WHAT IS GUNDAM?

GUNDAM is the longest running Giant Robot Anime franchise in history, and a surprisingly gritty and realistic portrayal of future warfare (at least, as realistic as you can get with giant robots).  The Universal Century (UC) setting is the most prolific, and all of our gaming activity is set in the UC timeline.   Mobile Suits, or MS, are piloted giant robots that feature prominently in the series. With MS averaging 18-20 meters tall, it does require a different scale of scenery and figures than our usual campaigns.   Below you can find links to our figure collections, sources for figures, and even rules for playing your own Gundam themed tabletop games!

FIGURES FOR TABLETOP GUNDAM GAMES

Thanks to its popularity, acquiring figures or models  to use in tabletop games is surprisingly easy and affordable.
 
Our GUNDAM RPG was set during the Zeta / ZZ Gundam time period, so we used 1/220 scale MS figures purchased mostly from Mandarake.  There are also plastic model kits and garage kits available at this scale, though not as common as 1/144 scale kits.

Although mostly restricted to the 1 year war time period, the 1/300 scale Strategy of Gundam figures are amazingly detailed for their size, and are great for games of MS ERA..
