/tg/, I need your help.
What are good medium-crunch superhero games with a hit point mechanic (as opposed to tests against toughness thresholds, like in Mutants and Masterminds) that are not HERO? HERO and GURPS are way too crunchy and undynamic for my purposes.
I tried the anime game OVA Revised, but it lacks a viable movement mechanic (i.e. you are either in range or you are not, which might be animesque, but it's stupid).

Why the hell you need a fucking HP system?

Because I want to have one instead of people getting progressively more beat up until they fail a check at semi-random. In my experience, it provokes players into playing more tactically, as well as is accepted better by the playgroups I play with.

Besides, the settings I will be using it with have assessment of the overall condition as a setting feature. So players not knowing exactly how much structural integrity they have remaining (because they could fail the check soon, not soon, or not fail it at all) doesn't make in-narrative sense.

Allips, Ghosts, and Revenants are just a few of the types of undead capable of forming without need for necromancy. The main reason is strong emotions, a completely natural phenomenon. Some undead, like Wights (who can also arise independently sometimes) are also capable of reproduction.
With that in mind, can the case be made that (in some settings) undead are in fact part of nature and the druids are just being whiny?

Everything is "natural" per a certain definition, druids in general are just whiny hippies.

Yes. Everything is natural. The only difference between the intelligent races and bugs is we are better at destroying and building.

Aww shucks, I fucked up those links of mine. Meh, I'll fix them for the next OP.
Aanyways. I think my current system (Misfortune) is already at the stage that I can't even add anything to it anymore. I can't even think of systems that I'd like to implement.
So I'll probably just start adding different possible setting rules there, like the magical girls stuff this time.If you see similarities to Accidental Magical Girl CYOA, you're definitely hallucinating. It wasn't made for me and my group to convert characters from the CYOA to Misfortune or anything.

Unified resolution mechanic for combat, social and exploration or one mechanic for each, so you can tweak one without messing with the others?
Have some nice examples of good design for social or exploration?
>>
>>50853151
Here we go again /gdg/.
Just look at this dice curve. It's so perfect and beautiful.
http://anydice.com/program/a325
So, that brought me to think of a new roll resolution system. You can already see the basis of the system there, where you have 5 ratings: Garbage, Bad, Average, Good, Magnificent. Something to that end.
But the real kicker would be the critical system. It seems pretty obvious that critical successes and failures occur at 1 and 12, that much is pretty clear.
But there are three tiers of critical success. I need to find a way to calculate them, as of now I have nothing.
Additionally, there is crit confirmation, but the ends (-3d12 and +3d12) have it integrated. The confirmation is simply rolling d12:s until there is 3 on the table.
>Tier 1 (Critical): The end result you get is 1 or 12. http://anydice.com/program/a328
Just means best conceivable end result.
>Tier 2 (Miracle): The other dice are either 7 or over for success or 6 or under for failure
The end result transcends logic, meaning it's better or worse than imaginable.
>Tier 3 (Legendary): All the dice are 1 or 12
The chance for this is (0.06%) means it will happen once ever (Though I'm planning to incorporate game mechanics that kind of fudge this). It means something absolutely weird and mindbending happens. It can be tied to the success or failure, or can be something unrelated.
Like, I think people like crits so it would be okay? And because the basic system is so incredibly simple (If your assigned roll is over 7, you succeed)I tend to roll constantly as I write or think about systems, puts my mind at ease. And I just happened to roll triple 1:s, the highest crit failure possible. Whoops.
Of course, that just the basic resolution system, nothing else, really. How I will even incorporate stats and skills (If I will even separate them, once again) will be a mystery.
I might go with something strange, like allowing dice to be turned, not rerolled.

Alright, I hate being that 'that guy' because I'm sure this has been asked a hundred and a half times before me, but I haven't been here for almost two years so please put up with me:
Are there any systems with concepts similar or adaptable to Stands in JoJo's Bizarre Adventure?
I would like to run something anime as fuck in the unspecific future, but leaning more towards the fight/muscle/80s-type than the schoolgirl-type.

I need 40k Codices that aren't scans so I can use Ctrl + F to find specific rules etc (specifically AdMech and Speesh Mareehn codex).

How does one invoke favours of Tzeench? Is it wise to do so? How fucked am I to try to ask for his favour?
Alternatively, if Tzeench proves to be too much of a hassle, how does one get in good graces with the Omnissiah?

Not proficient enough in lore to tell that with certainty, but my guess would be that it's completely non-sensical for an orphan to be adopted by clone-soldiers.
So I'd say, choose between being a jedi or a clone-trooper, but not both at the same time.
