RPGs / Need a system for my game...

« on: January 15, 2015, 02:05:31 PM »

So I've been kicking around an idea for a high-action anime-inspired RPG in my head. The basic premise is that there's a high school that has magical girls, super-powered martial artists, sword fighters, and other anime hero archetypes making up a large portion of the student body. As a result, I'll need a system that can handle a lot of action and superpowers. At first I was thinking Savage Worlds, but I'm starting to think about using Strange Fate like Ross did with Base Raiders. What do you guys think?

Rewatching Kill La Kill makes me want to make clothing made with strange super-threads a power source in Base Raiders.

I believe Ross has mentioned that he likes the 40k, but isn't really a fan of the Dark Heresy system, though I could be misremembering things.

Also, what the upload schedule now? Duality, Masks, then One Shot? Or is Dungeon World tossed in there somewhere too?

Putting words in Ross' mouth: It's a complex system which he would need to teach to all of the other players for probably only a game or two and they aren't big fans of Warhammer. So, more effort than it's worth basically.

Ah, ok. Yeah, it's definitely a complex system, though 2nd ed was recently released so I'm not sure if it's become more manageable. The books are super pretty though, FFG has some excellent production quality, if a bit pricey.

The third edition beta of Adeptus Evangelion got posted, it's no longer DH based. Links to downloads and all sorts of cool AdEva stuff: http://tinyurl.com/AdEvaRes

Also, more Save Game. That setting's so cool.

If we really want a mecha game, there's Giant Guardian Generation, which is basically Super Robot Wars: The Tabletop RPG.

Have you guys looked at Adeptus Evangelion? It's a Dark Heresy modification for NGE games. As one Anon put it:

YOU MAKE THE CHILD
YOU HAVE THE MENTAL ISSUES
YOU DRIVE THE ROBOT
YOU FIGHT THE ANGELS
YOU GO CRAZY
YOU TURN INTO TANG
MAYBE SAVE THE WORLD
IF YOU DON'T FUCK IT ALL UP
WHICH YOU PROBABLY WILL

In other words, it's perfect for a horrible monster like Ross to run! 

Well, we already did The Final Revelation, so we're pretty full in the devoid of hope gaming category.

But Ross didn't run that game, iirc

RPGs / Setting up Game Clubs

« on: December 18, 2014, 03:34:51 PM »

I'm thinking about starting an RPG club at my college this coming semester. What should I have to successfully start a club? What systems would be best for introducing people new to the hobby? How long should meetings run on average?

Any and all input would be helpful.

I posted this for two reasons:

1. I can totally see Wilbur Whateley as a Kishin
2. The prospect of Excalibur showing up as an NPC

I just found a fan-made Savage Worlds supplement for playing games based on the manga/anime series Soul Eater. If you want anime action with a light Lovecraftian twist, check it out!

If you guys ever want some material for a MAOTC campaign, you could easily base a game off of Persona 4.
