Here's The build that we made in my game for Kong characters...

>KONG FEATURES
>Stats: +1 Heart, +1 Power, -1 Speed
>Abilities: Strong Toss - Kongs use their Power stat instead of their Speed when making a ranged attack with a thrown weapon.
>(ex. Kongs make a Power roll when they throw a barrel, hammer, boomerang, etc. The Kong still uses their Smarts score for magic wands, and their Speed score for bows)

>>54328348

I'm trying, can't be fucked to list domains

Good Deities:
-Rosalina: Mother of the stars and creation, the main religion of the Mushroom Kingdom, Sarasaland, and Diamond City. It's believed much of the royalty in the Mushroom World, such as the royal families of the Mushroom Kingdom and Sarasaland can trace their lineage to her

-The Star Spirits: Seven lesser deities serving under Rosalina, each have different respective domains in which different denizens of the Mushroom world pay homage to based on their profession.

Neutral Deities:
-Culex - Eldritch being from a different dimension, simply watches mortals. Cults vary in their views to him.

-Tribal gods that the kongs and yoshis worship

Evil Deities:
-King Wart: Lord of nightmares and torment. Mortals often fall to this realm when they have nightmares. Commonly worshipped by Shy Guys

-King Boo: Lord of Death, most commonly worshipped god of the Koopa Kingdom

-Smithy: Lord of war and destruction(Think kind friendly Khorne). It was said that it was he who first taught Toad-kind how to create weapons, bringing war and murder to the world.

Anymore? This could be splatbook material is it gets fleshed out enough.

I was considering adding Fawful to this but I then I thought he'd work better as just an evil sorcerer and possible BBEG for a campaign.

Don't think you can hide that from me

Is there something like a Bestiary or Monster Manual that contains stats for all the enemies the PCs could encounter?

How about item prices?

Is the GM supposed to make all this up by himself?

>>54329759
Seconded, without this the ruleset seems kind of useless.

Or you could use the alternative, fight amongst yourselves which one you want to be canon.

IMO the games would work best in a time period where Mario married Peach and became king of the Mushroom Kingdon and Luigi married Daisy and became king of Sarasaland.

Adventurers like the PCs would only be needed in a time where the overpowered demigods that are Mario and Luigi are too distracted by kingly duties to go and fix problems.

New Donk City (and Mayor Pauline, which is probably the closest civil equivalent to a princess now that I think about it) is a relatively recent development. That said, there's no reason you can't run a story there.

Man I wish that I knew about this a few years ago. I made a three person Paper Mario inspired tabletop game but never really got to finishing it. There were 9 playable classes, a cozy post apocalyptic setting and light platforming mechanics.

Maybe I'll find that old word file and shill it once it's done, but for now I need to check this game out.

Didn't think anyone would bite

Anyway in the game I was working on the Athletic stat of a character doubled as the Jumping stat, and gameplay worked like a platformer/RPG hybrid i.e. getting from the start of a level to the goal with your partner.
There would be eight sections from the hub town to the goal, littered with enemies, pitfalls, and events. It was pretty rudimentary, as easy as a pass/fail roll to beat a pit, but it was something. In the right situation you could even springboard off enemies for a boost to your jump roll and knock bad dudes into the abyss.

Humans, Yoshis and Toads were the three Jumper class guys, and they could also jump on foes instead of trying to roll their middling to subpar attack stats during battles if they wanted in exchange for doing slightly less damage and being screwed with spiky topped enemies.

>Poochy & Yoshi's Woolly World

Seriously debating if Paper Jam should be included because that would split the Paper and main timeline and I kind of want them all to happen in the same timeline. This is regardless of game quality.

So way in hell is anything NSMB canon, which includes 3D land/world.

Fuck any Paper Mario after Thousand Year Door.

Including only the first Warioware game because the rest are inconsequential and I love the idea of Wario being a game development tycoon in my setting.

Odyssey will probably be canon, but it's not out yet.

I want to develop a system for vehicles, so maybe the Mario Kart games should be canon.

If there's anything that would fit that I'm missing, let me know.

I'd also include Inside Story (Because why not, eh?) and Dream Team.

I personally position Captain Maple Syrup as a pirate queen, with everyone else either competing for a separate king title or yet to knock her off the throne. I mean, when you can challenge Wario and get away with it (even pull one over on him), you've got some serious cred.

>>54342062
K. Rool is unaccounted for, but there are still Kritters all over the place.

>>54342121
I kinda like him just up and vanishing off to become a pirate

In the German Club Nintendo comics, he changed disguises so much because he suffered from amnesia after his first fight and rebuilt his identity from scratch. Maybe he abandoned his throne to sail the high seas under a new name.

I'm no expert in Mario, but I would make combat as either Jump, Punch, Weapon or Magic. Maybe Roll for a DK expansion.

So Hammer (Weapon) is good against spiky shells, Jumper is good against enemies that use a shield against front attacks and so on... Trying to make something simple, looking at the RPG from SNES, N64 and so on.

>>54342345
Attacking is already broadly separated into melee, ranged and magic. To maintain the dynamic action you get from the RPGs, there are also three forms of active defense you can take (guard/dodge/counter). Jump/Punch/Weapon are just 2-3 variants on melee attacks, and I'm sure you can find inventive ways of getting around spikes.

>>54342345
You don't really need 'rules' to do that though, just common sense and good description.
Jump-Man: I'ma jump on that goomba!
GM: You notice that the goomba is wearing a nasty looking and rusted spiked helmet. You feel like you could get tetanus just looking at it, and you wonder what would happen if you landed on it. You still want to?
Jump-Man: Nah, guess not, I'll run up and punch him in the face then!

Granted, your players need common sense, and I've met quite a few people in this hobby who have an extreme deficit of it.

>>54350566
Ran a campaign where the Mario Bros and Peach along with most of the named good guys went off to a Karting event and just never came back. Bowser stuck around and took over a chunk of land but he and his cronies disappeared a week later. With no big names around everyone kinda settled for a hundred years or so until a Neo Koopa Army showed up raiding towns and the PCs went hunting for the source.

Turns out that some bored Koopalings sent out some forces just to pass the time. When Bowser took over a century ago, he found it all boring and let Jr. take the reins. A week into it and Jr. managed to piss off every neighboring country and everything went pear shaped. Bowser and his son retreated with a bunch of forces into the lava infested badlands and lived out a cushy retirement. ...Until Ludwig and Iggy sent out some troops to raid towns for instrument parts/cool stuff to pass the time. This set the PCs to find a frail old Magikoopa in flame colored robes named Bowser and his beefy son Junior. They get pissy and start a fight, knock out Senior and accidentally send a Mega Mushroomed Junior on the warpath to the hub town.
The final boss is a chase scene lobbing projectiles at the unflinching Junior as he stomps over the path they took to his house and a Godzilla style raid by him on the PC's hubtown where they have to borrow some Clown Cars and get to his eye level just to finish the fight.

God that was a fun one.

Holy shit I've been waiting for a Mario RPG thread on /tg/ for a million years.

I've been working on some revisions to this system after discovering it on 1d4chan about a year ago. Can you fa/tg/uys tell me what you think?

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1TNIGww-irrwywHgSCZPgCw_AT9Q5fmwAmyF2_8T0dBk/edit#gid=0

Big things include a HUGE list of races that I worked out myself, a natural evasion stat, full list of badges, some items and bare-bones crafting rules. Currently working out a bestiary using the Mario Wiki.

Cool

Looking good so far...

1.) Fix your HP (Heart +Toughness)
2.) Fix your FP (Heart + Coolness)
3.) Spend your Purchase Points on your gear, traits, & items.
4.) Select a Special power

LeBron is almost ready to slam dunk into the pipes of the Mushroom Kingdom!

>>54359515
Wow.
I'm definitely going to use this item & badge list!

>Natural Evasion
Though I am turned off by the idea of adding another stat.
Characters already have Toughness for blocking, Speed for dodging, and their appropriate attack stat for counter-attacking.

I'm currently trying to build a Shy Guy so that I can start looking for a game somewhere, but it's hard without knowing what a regular character looks like or what preset Specials would cost. Is it really at the discretion of the DM or is there like a general rule list beyond the basic op post? 'Preciate the help.

>>54360751
Talk to your GM.

>>54360652
I need to read things more thoroughly. Thanks for the pointers!

LeBron James
>Concept:
The L-Train
>Race:
Human
>Stats:
6 Heart (+2 pool, +1 race), 4 Power (+1 pool), 3 Smarts, 3 Coolness, 3 Toughness, 4 Speed (+1 pool), 9 HP, 10 FP (+1 pool)
>Hometown:
Akron, Ohio
>Perk 1
Miracle Legs: LeBron ignores debuffs while dunking.
>Perk 2
Star Assist: LeBron can spend his turn helping another player, giving them +1 to their rolls. LeBron receives the same penalties that the other player receives if they fail their roll, but he's a nice enough guy to let them take all of the glory if they succeed.

>Ability: Starlike Ambition
Specials cost 1 FP less, min. 1.

>Special: L-Bump
Give yourself Dodgy for a while. 3 FP.

5 starting PP spent on
>B-Ball +1 (2 PP)
>Cavaliers Getup (1 PP)
>VoltShroom Energy Drink
>KeroKero Cola (1 PP)
>2 Mushrooms (1 PP)

>Character Fluff:
After a rough losing streak in basketball, LeBron takes the subway to New York to take a vacation and finds himself sidelined into the Mushroom Kingdom. He's unsure of how he got there or how he can get home, but nostalgic memories of playing video games as a child make him comfortable in this strange new land.

>>54361525
Nice!

>>54360751
If possible, try to balance against the examples given on the 1d4chan page. Past that talk to your group/GM and try to come to a consensus. Finally, accept that you may find something was actually stronger or weaker than it seemed, and be open to balance between sessions.

Just try to make stuff that's creative, flavorful, and fun and you'll probably be fine.

I tried writing LeBron as a support character mechanically, with a lack of direct attacks and multiple options to help the other PCs out. Star Assist is a fantastic perk that can be applied in and out of battle if the party is willing to risk the increased penalties for failure. Miracle Legs is mostly fluff but it can be used offensively, especially against flying enemies. Actually reading it over makes me think that the abilities might be easily abused, though.

Ok I built an all around Shy Guy and used the low hanging fruit that is politician jokes.

Built him as a guy that I thought would be fun to play. He'd get slaughtered alone but with a team he has stall tactics and a silver tongue with NPC's if played right. Used the Point Buy system, dunno if I did it right.

Ended up with 6 player points, bought an old racket, an enhanced robe, an alternate mask, two basic items including the Paper Mario mystery box that I think would spice up any dull game and then an extra perk.

Any criticism would be appreciated.

Working on a scenario to run for my friends Here's the backstory:

>after years of adventures, mario finally settled down and marries peach
>luigi and daisy retire to rule sarasaland
>usher in short-lived era of peace in the mushroom kingdom and surrounding kingdoms
>even bowser plays nice
>however, things aren't perfect and rogue nations and armies of pirates continue to trouble the world
>after a few years of diplomacy, mario and co. decide that politics isn't going to fix things and most of the Mario heroes/main characters: Mario, Luigi, Peach, Donkey Kong, Yoshi, Bowser, Toad, and Waluigi all work together as a band of heroes in order to stop the Pirate Nation of Moolasses, a vast pirate nation headed by Captain Syrup and King K. Rool that have been harassing and conquering outlying lands
>Moolasses is shrouded in mystery and only accessible by sailing across the sea
>band lose contact with the Mushroom Kingdom after a few months and are never heard from again
>in their absence, Bowser Jr. and the Koopalings conquer the Mushroom Kingdom, but end up being mostly benevolent, but incompetent rulers
>it's been a few years since our heroes have disappeared and the world is in disrepair, not post-apoc but certainly not doing so well
>the pirate menace encroaches ever closer to the heart of the mushroom kingdom as the Koopalings consistently lose more and more land to Cpt. Syrup
>K. Rool is missing in action as well, first plot hook would be about finding him
>main plot revolves around basically figuring out what happened to the great heroes

I've never done this before, and was wondering how this sounded. I also considered simply having Bowser stay behind and rule the kingdom instead of going, not sure which.

I think just from the history, there's more than enough plot hooks for my players to follow--do they try to find some of the heroes who stayed behind (Wario, or Queen Daisy, specifically?). Do they search for K. Rool, who's rumored to be marooned somewhere?

>>54359515
This is pretty intense. I'll need a bit to chew on it.

>>54363797
Almost the same as my setting.

I personally like the idea of Mario and Luigi as kings, gives the players a reason to adventure if the brothers are busy with political matters.

You made sure to retcon all the NSMB games right?

>>54363797
I feel like you could get a full plot out of any one of those ideas. Bowser taking over and trying to get the Toad people to accept him but screwing it up every time because he's an incompetent supervillain could carry a whole campaign by itself, from either side of that conflict. They're not going to want for things to do.

Is Smash Bros kind of like Nintendo's Planescape?

>>54364989
Yes, but because the Zelda, F-Zero, and Fire Emblem P&P games all run on different systems, don't excpet to do much dimension hopping.

>>54355934
I was under the impression the GM is allowed to pick and choose which games he wants to be canon and non-canon.

Like I can't reiterate this enough, but who in their right fucking mind wants the NSMB series or the Paper Mario games after 2 to be canon?

>>54328793
Isn't Mario basically a god? Or at least like an angel of justice

Mario is not a god (nor is Luigi).

He's just REALLY REALLY GOOD at his job.

>>54365176

I gotchu, he's like the plumber you recommend to your family and friends, fixes that shit up right

>>54365243
Most everyone who knows the Mario Bros. and crossed their paths know that they are, for all intents and purposes, an irresistible force of nature. Very few individuals fuck with Mario and get away with it.

>The Mario Bros. are out of town on "business," and all's quiet in the Koopa Kingdom (for once). Princess Peach and Princess Daisy have decided that while the boys are away, the girls will play!
>Peach and Daisy are taking a breaking and having a much-deserved (in their mind) "girls day out" just for them. Shopping, sightseeing and a real hopping nightlife await.
>Of course, royalty cannot be left unattended, so the party has been recruited to serve as the ladies' personal chaperones, their "secret service," if you will. The two promise it's not going to be boring and there will be plenty for them to do as well.
>Can you protect the princesses from nefarious plots and see them through the night?

Donkey Kong is much the same. He is not a god, but when the time comes, he is legitimately unstoppable. The difference is that unlike Mario, the only times we ever see DK get down to real business is when he's protecting hearth and home, i.e. DK Island is ever under direct threat.

There's a reason they say DK's strength is challenged only by Bowser himself.

>>54363806
I haven't playtested any of it so I'll welcome any feedback

>>54360717
Thanks, I know more stats is not usually a good thing, but evasion is derived like HP or FP. I'm personally not a fan of roll-off combat, so that's my own attempt to try something different with it.

My personal beef with it in this system was when I had a Kong PC with 7 Power counter-attacking everything and never getting hurt

>>54342024
As a fun fact Wario Land 2 was originally intended to be one massive open World for each area, with syrup castle, ratios castle the city, the factory, and the forest all being a massive sprawling labyrinths with secret scattered all over, in the end that that was cut because how many lost was way too common

>>54329335
The only extra races that make sense as playable to me there are Beanish, Birdos, Nokis, Pinatas, and Kongs.

Most of the other stuff is mary sue material or some shit that's non-sentient.

>>54370975
Penguins work.

You could even make it so the Mario penguins are the same as the Tropical Freeze penguins.

That's where Special attacks, grenade like weapons, Area-of-effect attacks, spiked enemies and such come in handy.

Your GM lacked imagination (when it comes to harming players)

Hey is anybody running an online game on like roll20 or Discord that could use an extra player? I really wanna get into this but I'm having a hard time finding people willing to give it a go around here...

>>54372848
There's a couple of games running on the disco, but they're both full. You could try putting your name on the waiting list in case someone drops out.

Anyone have a demonstration as to how this works in-game? I'd love to see

>>54373160
Anyone save any of the gameplay logs for those games?

If so I would like to see.

>>54373761
>>54374124
There should be a couple old logs floating in the thread. Just know that those are for older versions of the rules, playtests that I ran.

>The character sprites
>The background art
>The music
>The puzzles
>Running two simultaneous games that eventually intertwine
>Logging all of the sessions onto a site

But a word of warning: the players are totally fucking annoying and stupid.

This campaign was wasted on them.

>>54374124
They're being run on the disco, so everything is there.

I wanted to join the Discord for an online group of people playing this that someone posted earlier, but the link expired and I was hoping to join it in order to get on the waiting list to play and/or just sit in on a session and see how people play.

Once I was comfy with how to run a decent game I would offer to make a session and help with the overflow of people wanting to play. I like designing stuff anyway and have a few story ideas floating in my head.

>A notorious papparazzi claims to have acquired some footage of Princess Daisy engaging in some, uh, "personal quality time." Naturally, it would be extremely scandalous if such a tape were to go public, so the party is discreetly enlisted to track down the papparazzi and destroy the evidence before it becomes public.
