ION Heart is a Lo-Fi Solo Mech TTRPG. Relax into your own story of interstellar exploration. Create a pilot and their mech best friend and sail the stars with. Discover planets, solar systems and cultures of your own making in the peaceful galaxy of the Astral Union.
ION Heart is all about searching for your place in the universe. Your mech has been many things across its existence: From a weapon of war to a circus juggler, it has led many lives with many pilots. Your job as a pilot is to bond with your mech as you explore together and find a home for you both in the stars wherever your path may take you.
