Created by Leyline Press

Salvage Union is a post-apocalyptic Mech tabletop RPG with easy to learn mechanics. You play as a group of salvagers, scouring the wastelands for scrap in salvaged Mechs. The Salvage Union Starter Set contains everything you need to start playing.

Latest Updates from Our Project:

90k Stretch Goal Unlocked! Sakura Subscription Sticker Pack adding new Systems and Modules.
over 1 year ago – Fri, Nov 01, 2024 at 12:37:13 PM

Hello Salvagers!

Thanks to your immense support we've raised over £90,000 for the Salvage Union Starter Set, unlocking the Sakura. This is the final sticker set of the three, and adds new Sakura systems to the game, which you can stick directly into your Salvage Union Starter Set parts catalogue, or Core Book.




Our next stretch goal for £100,000 adds the adventure 'Thatcher's Mech Base' to the Asset Pack. We're really excited about creating this one as the adventure is silly good fun, and we'd love your support in hitting the goal in the last few days of the campaign.



Thank you all for supporting the Salvage Union Starter Set, it's been a fantastic campaign , and we're really excited to see what stretch goals we can unlock in the final days. With so little time left now is a great chance to back the campaign if you haven't already, and tell your friends about the game!

If you have any questions please don't hesitate to comment or get in touch.

Hello Salvagers,

There's now only one week left to back the Salvage Union Starter Set. We're close to unlocking the £90k stretch goal for the Sakura Sticker Pack, and would love to hit the £100k stretch goal to add the 'Thatcher's Mech Base' adventure to the Asset Pack.

We'd really appreciate your support on this final week to tell as many of your friends about the game as possible, and to share it on your social media accounts, to help us keep unlocking those stretch goals.

Thankyou all so much for your support so far.

Happy Mech Monday! New Community Designed Gatecrasher Mechs.
over 1 year ago – Mon, Oct 28, 2024 at 10:58:21 AM

Happy Mech Monday!

Thankyou to everyone who entered a Gatecrasher Mech Pattern this week. It was another fantastic round of submissions.

Our favourite was the Retiarius Terebro Mech by blk_ivy, it's a strong industrial build, with a classics inspired name we loved, and was designed only using the free Salvage Union Quickstart showing what you can do even with a limited amount of hardware, congratulations to blk_ivy who wins a free copy of the Salvage Union Starter Set. 



Originally designed around heavy mining and resource capture, the Terebro is a pneumatic impact driver, designed to use a heavy modular mining rig, capable of activating in short drives as a saw, or in a more longwinded format, capable of impact drilling. Either way, the real star is when the system's heat limiters are overridden- a sudden explosion of massive drilling power slammed into a single point, resulting in massive hemorrhaging on mech-scale systems.

In order to prevent overheating, a similarly scaled cooling system has been installed, allowing for the use of active thermal cooling- although this drains batteries, it allows for quick recouperation. However, due to the overwhelmingly resource-management oriented design, this chassis framework is incredibly heavy and has virtually no space for any other form of ranged weaponry, nor even the most basic of hacking tech- this isn't a combat frame afterall, it's a resource capture system. And exceedingly effective when it's up close.

Argo - A greek myth inspired Mecha game with Art by Alex Connolly has launched.
over 1 year ago – Wed, Oct 23, 2024 at 06:50:23 AM

Hey Salvagers,

We wanted to highlight another project which we think is awesome.  Our friends at Hatchling games have just launched Argo, a greek myth inspired Mecha game. It has art by Alex Connolly, who did the amazing blueprint style Mech art within the Salvage Union Core Book.



Inspired by Greek myth and retro cartoons such as Ulysses 31, this narrative focussed Mecha tabletop RPG is designed by the team behind Cryptid Creeks and uses the Paragon System by John Harper.

You can check it out here: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/tatteredbear/argonought

Thanks and happy salvaging!
