Always wanted to run a game in this universe actually. Or play in one, either would work. Just always wondered what system i would use and what not.

There's been several suggestions, most of them surrounding crunching melee combat.
>Song of Swords
>Riddle of Steel
And a couple others that escape me.

>>43531131
>No magic setting
>Got ring of wish
I...have questions.

>Vow of Poverty

Looks like you're either leaving it where you found it or letting someone else have it.

wish for kickass shades for your entire party and their donkeys, obviously

By riding the Bicycle of Justice!

Already done. Almost every day.

... because gas is expensive bro.

Pitch it to them using superheroes that are popular so they have a frame of reference for the power level you have in mind. From there, just start talking about ideas. Most people have thought of what superpowers they'd want or what a cool superhero they'd like to see is like.

From there, you just can't get too pushy about it. The concepts probably won't be what you had in mind, but just let the group have sway here. You don't want to shoot down someone's idea right off the bat for being silly or whatever. Base the tone around what they pick.

Offering to run it yourself can also help. Maybe even do a one-shot with prebuilts just to introduce the system, then explain how it can be used to make their own characters.

Fire: the Devouring is probably the least awful thing to come out of the NWoD.

>>43531108
Fire: the Inferno was infinitely better and you know it.

>>43531037
Honestly, I don't understand why it is you are burning it, it actually is somewhat enjoyable, especially if played with people you either know very well, or people you already don't really like. It is the ideal family game, because your family belongs to both categories.

Pile on all of the gore, sex, gory sex, and other depraved shit all in the first session, throw in some ridiculous overpowered magical items, and force in some weak love interests with a horde of waifu characters and they'll be hooked.

Haven't seen the show, but I saw the Toonami promo.

Your basically spot on. In the manga it just keeps trying to out edge itself. OVER AND OVER AND OVER! I mean jesus!

Not really a competition to begin with.

>>43530323
I'd allow it. Seems cool. PRAISE THE LIGHT

Poorly fleshed out concept with shitty mechanics.

Undying Light exists solely to play Magical Girls.

But all of it's good points are based on not having crunch.

>>43530266
It actually needs less crunch. It's trying way too hard to emulate D&D instead of doing its own thing as a World game.

Got excited. Thought we were continuing

>>43530205
Or we could not try to stat someone in a system that frankly wasn't made to handle that kind of power level.

>>43530205
>>43530304

No, I got this.

For every stat just put "FUCKASSMAD" and let him kill everything by punching, even when it doesn't make sense, like punching until a planet size object disintegrates, or punching literally god to death.

Simple. He's a plot device.

>>43530304
Eh, not even the power level you can aim for general abilities. That being said Asura is one of those examples of why Monks shouldn't be lawful only.

>>43530010
Every single one of them is a sex object.

Seriously, look at those beautiful bastards.

As for stats, let me find my old rulebooks. Haven't dug up RT in years. This is going to take a while to find.

>>43530010
I was a bit put off by season 2's "end". Was the serie cancelled or something?
How do I get more, or at least a feeling of fulfilment from it?

Bump.

Which would be better- abstracted height levels, or an exact number? Abstracted = less math, exact numbers = less gamey range system.

There's some WWII ship fighting games that have rules for aircraft where they add an extension to the aircraft's peg base to physically elevate it.

After that, you might as well do away with the models because you're just "flying on instruments" so to say because abstracting it to that degree makes physical representation impossible to pointless.

Until hologram technology is readily available to the average consumer at a good enough quality, 3D game rules like realistic aerial combat are pretty much impossible on the tabletop or mathematically confusing on the page.

>>43531018
>>43529984

I just had a thought:

Could you use the height of dice in an ORE system to handle... well... height? Then just use tokens to represent whether a unit is one the 1,2,3, etc... z level of the combat zone?

Holy shit, people actually play Numenera?

>>43529771
Err, yes? Where do you think you are, /sp/ or something?

A Numenera thread?! Unheard of.

I've been in a campaign for half a year now and I'm really enjoying it.

Intellect is good, I run a Nano who Talks to Machines, but I haven't run into it being too OP. I dump pretty hard into it which leaves my might and speed pools pretty low. My current campaign is all over the place, we ran the Devil's Spine adventure for a while and that went hilariously off the rails and now we're in completely homebrew territory, my DM is pretty great. Currently headed west from the Cicalian jungle to the cloud crystal skyfields.

First for marrying a Kasatha!

What should I play /pfg/? The current party Is a grippli gunslinger and a saurian bloodrager
