Samurai Jack New Season Confirmed

>>43947744
Wuh? INCONCEIVABLE!!!

im so ready

>>43947744
Well he save Dexter's Lab from the pile of shit that it became, too?

Who the fuck is going to voice AKU?

>>43947744
FUCK YEAH

Well, I've heard Samurai Jack is awesome,but I haven't watched it since I've also heard it was canceled and eternally unfinished. Time to revisit that decision maybe?

>>43947833
Greg Baldwin, most likely. He's a soundalike who took over for Iroh on Avatar and didn't do too badly.

>>43947744
THE FUTURE THAT IS AKU LIVES

>>43947973
Easy peasy, 4E. Jack is a perfect Avenger, make Aku some sort of horrifying Primordial that has broken free.

That, or Exalted. Jack's also a perfect Dawn caste, and Aku is a perfect Raksha.

>>43947744
hopefully its in the same art style and same slow-paced stories.
if they try to modernize it, it will probably look like shit.

"Nah, I'm not married. Neither is she."

"So then why are you telling me?

I've been here since 2009. By the rules as written, this is not the "everything" board, and never has been.

>>43951623
You should've an hero at 2008

>>43951623
I take it you missed the "HOLY SHIT TOONAMI'S BACK!" threads back in 2012?
Literally every board had one.
It's technically a rule violation, yes. But it's a relatively harmless one that saves us from having to go to /co/, because /co/ is terrible.
I'll admit, /tg/ has a disproportionate amount of "I don't want to go to the board for [thing] because they hate [thing]!" threads, but that's probably because a lot of /tg/ users are PURELY /tg/ users, and not more general 4chan users.

>>43951623
>I'm a whiny faggot but it's okay because I'm also totally and oldfag u guise.
It's really telling you have that picture saved just for situations like this. How often do you yell at nerds having fun?

I almost cant believe someone was so butthurt over startrek of all things that they made this image.

>>43951623

If you don't think a thread belongs on a board, you should quietly report it and go on with your day.

What would be a good system to emulate Samurai Jack?

Shadowrun?
ORE?

>>43951853
Legends of the Wulin. It comes assuming a pseudo-Chinese setting, but it can be easily adapted to other times and places. I know at least one anon is making a Star Wars adaptation for it.

>>43951797
>Why only this one?
Because I'm not always on /tg/ and I happened to see this thread first.
I also don't feel like changing one pixel of my image so I can post it multiple times.
Are you saying I should complain more?

>>43951839
Because there are some of those things that no one will talk about there.

>>43951839
Good fucking question.

Honestly, it's for subjects of interest within the medium. Tg will not care about johnny test, spongebob kind of things. For those people they can go to co.

>>43951894

I've seen it used to run DtD and Magical Girls.

>>43951918
>/co/ never wants to talk about Samurai Jack

Funny thing, Samurai is an utterly fantastic theme for avenger.

Crit on 18-20 on the first turn? With the Avenger rerolls to hit? Yes please.

>>43951929
But spongebob is awesome.
And probably written while on LSD.
I doubt there would even be a game system for such a setting.

>>43951961
Everyone likes to talk about samurai jack so they are. You think /lit/ wants to talk about the fucking silmarillion?

>>43947744
>Outsider updates
>Guts gets off the boat
>Samurai Jack is coming back

What the fucking fuck is going on

>>43951752
this

board police are fucking annoying

>>43951839
Why do we need /lgbt/ if your faggotry is allowed to persist here?

>>43951623
The thing is that you absolutely can't harshly enforce a narrow definition of the rules on an actually creative board like /tg/, because doing so smothers the creative process, as it stops people from being able to relax and be open to making and taking suggestions. It also stops lateral thinking, which is a very important thing to nurture here, because it's impossible to predict what will spawn new ideas. It's also a matter of inspiration: Samurai Jack has inspired tons of roleplayers, and will continue to do so, so not only does the shared love for it create an environment where people can be on good and open terms with one another, and therefore be creative, but the direct aesthetic, thematic, etc. elements are borrowed from. Boards like /co/, /a/, /tv/ etc. are not creative boards. They discuss a final product, so they don't need that same openness or loose moderation. /tg/ on the other hand is sitting with a half-finished product, where the other half is created by the GM and the players. What /tg/ is, is a place for finding out what you want to fill that other half with.

>>43952103
Oh and also a place for finding out which half-finished product, aka system, you should use, possibly to compliment an already pre-determined second half, or to ask questions about the mechanical rules of the system you've chosen.

>>43952031
They would if people who want to talk about fantasy novels went there.
A board has no hard-coded preferences. It is the sum of its anons.
Every thread on the wrong board makes two boards worse.

>>43947744
>in before is ends after 12 episodes on a bullshit cliffhanger

>>43952193
A counter point, People who want to talk about fantasy novels left /lit/ because the occasionally wanted a discussion of something other than how shit their taste is.

>>43951623
You know what's funny about that pic? There are literally (And I mean this literally, not metaphorically) two official Star Trek RPGs.

>>43948461
>"Nah, I'm not married. Neither is she."

Technically that's still a sin, as it's sex outside of marriage.

>>43947744

>>>/co/

Stop shitting the board with off-topic content.

>>43947744

Hey /tg/, name me 10 successful reboots. You can't?

I'll wait. If you can name 10, then mako will come back from the dead and we won't have to deal with a horrible impersonation just so we can finish a story that is not meant to be finished.

All this proves is that Genndy has been reduced to imitating himself.

>>43952239
Yes, and there's an official World of Warcraft tabletop game.
But if there's a thread on /tg/ about World of Warcraft the MMORPG that doesn't mention the tabletop game at all, it's off topic.
I already explained that in the picture.

>>43951853
GURPS

Legitimate suggestion; depending on what you want to focus on, a suitably high-point cinematic campaign would work. You'd need all three of the -Tech books because of time-warp shenanigans (but they're all just equipment, so no complexity there) and the most cinematic bits of Martial Arts to let Jack survive shit like that; probably Action too because that's a huge source of good simplified cinematic rules.

At the end of the day it would be a very detailed game that focuses on the minutiae of combat; I love that shit, makes me feel like I'm really there a lot more than more generic attacks. It's not for everyone though, and if detailed (but not necessarily unfun realistic) combat doesn't sound fun to you, I wouldn't recommend GURPS.

>>43947744
Whose involvement has been confirmed, save Gendy's?
>>43952322
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qby0ed4aVpo
An explanation of how creativity works, by John Cleese. I recommend it not just to you, but also to those who want to improve their creative process.

>>43952321

This. It's going to be over the top, the aku actor is going to be bad, i bet phil lamarr can't do the voice properly anymore, jack is going to say shit because he can, etc etc.

It's going to be a trainwreck. Remember the last good idea Genndy had? Remember how long the execs let it stay on the air? This is going to be terrible, and aimed right at the kids who weren't even alive when the show first aired.

>>43952321
>Reboot
It's a continuation.
>Mako
They're getting the same guy that finished up Uncle Iroh in A:TLA. He did a decent enough job there.

2/10 got a response

>>43952381
>Whose involvement has been confirmed, save Gendy's?

Mako is dead. What does it matter? It will be banal shit that will be as bad if not worse than comedy central's run of futurama.

That had top talent too, and it still failed hideously.

>>43951623
>"So what is it, mods? Is the rule just a suggestion, or is it zero tolerance?"
You are aware that there's an entire spectrum of options between "just a suggestion" and "zero tolerance"?

>>43952395
>It's a continuation.

Not technically. Again, remember how we got Zombie Futurama? Because people wouldn't let it end.

>They're getting the same guy that finished up Uncle Iroh in A:TLA. He did a decent enough job there.

You have got to be fucking kidding me. He barely spoke at all after mako died, just a few quiet words and grunts. There's no way he also has the vocal range to do Aku's voice, which is far more bombastic than iroh's.

>>43952321
>>43952388
>>43952407
Whats it like to live a life without joy or hope?

>>43952407
Mako alone didn't make Samurai Jack good.

>>43952388

>and aimed right at the kids who weren't even alive when the show first aired.

Then why is it airing on Adult Swim?

>>43952439

It's not a suggestion, it's a rule. Just like not posting ponies. We don't hold them to high enough standards for doing their jobs.

>>43952293
there's plenty of comments here talking about adapting Samurai Jack's setting with an appropriate system. Fuck off with your 'off-topic' bs

>>43952444
>Not technically
Technically, it is a continuation, as it's neither a spin-off, remake, nor reboot.

>>43952444

>Not technically.

Samurai Jack never had an actual conclusion. How is this not "technically" a continuation when that is exactly what they are doing: continuing the plot that was never actually resolved?

>>43952388

>Remember the last good idea Genndy had?

If you mean Sym-Bionic Titan, yes. It was fucking fantastic. If that's the kind of quality we get to look forward to, then I'm even more excited than before.

>>43952469
Go fuck off and tell them then. You certainly wont stop anyone. If anything all you are doing is keeping the thread on the board longer.

>>43952446
You need every story to be finished? That's pretty childish. Learn to let go.

>>43952450
>Aku didn't make samurai jack good
Oh, it was just the constant mowing down of robots and monosyllabic dialogue from jack? Really?

>>43952464
Because kids love hyper-violent shit. You think kids don't watch rick and morty? That's what samurai jack will be like, just another "lol violence" adult swim show for morons.

We need more samurai jack less than we need new star wars or star trek. Let shit die and come up with new ideas. Genndy is only proving that he's been reduced to imitating himself, because the suits won't greenlight anything new.

>>43952469
Contrary to popular belief, the moderation team is actually pretty laid back about a lot of rules. If a thread isn't full of stupid meta shitposting and there's actual discussion going on and it's not one of several similar threads, the chances of it being deleted for "off-topic" is slim. Especially if it actually changes to related stuff, such as the people talking about how to run a game in that setting.

>>43952520

>That's pretty childish.

You are acting every bit as childish as the people thinking this is the next coming of Christ and that Genndy can do no wrong. All you are is the inverse of Hypefags: someone who cannot possibly see how something could go right with a project we know literally nothing about other than "it's happening in 2016".

>>43952321
It's not a reboot, it's a continuation of the series. It's got the original creator at the helm of the project. Yes, Mako won't be there and they'll have to replace them but that's life. Should Avatar the Last AIrbender stopped production because Mako died? Should they stop making TNMT with Splinter with Mako dead?

>>43952520
>Oh, it was just the constant mowing down of robots and monosyllabic dialogue from jack? Really?
You really can't expect us to take you seriously if you say stupid shit like how Mako's voice and Jack dicing robots was all that happened in Samurai Jack, right?

>>43952520
Whatever man. Its not like the guy has been trying to finish the series for the last eleven years or anything. I'm sure some random soulless dude on the internet knows more about making good cartoons than him.

>>43952520

>Oh, it was just the constant mowing down of robots and monosyllabic dialogue from jack? Really?

I don't think you really understood what made Samurai Jack a good series if your sole reason for watching it was Aku hamming it up.

>>43951623
I would love to see you identify the line to be drawn on what is and is not /tg/-related without obliterating the creativity of the board as a whole. We've seen the results of that exact thing occurring once already, back when all the drawfags left.

Anything that inspires people to think about storytelling and narrative belongs here.

>>43952388
It's airing on Adult Swim, so no it's not aimed specifically at children. Misinformation all up in this bitch

>>43952499

>Samurai Jack never had an actual conclusion. How is this not "technically" a continuation when that is exactly what they are doing: continuing the plot that was never actually resolved?

Because it was never meant to end. I accepted that because i know that these things cannot continue forever, and that whatever they do to resolve the conflict won't be interesting. Resolving the conflict isn't the point of the show.

>If you mean Sym-Bionic Titan, yes. It was fucking fantastic. If that's the kind of quality we get to look forward to, then I'm even more excited than before.

The execs cancelled it because it wasn't Toyetic enough. You cannot be stupid enough to think that they want to bring this show out to please the nostalgia of maybe a 1/5th of their audience. It's not going to be for us, it's going to be for people born after the show was already cancelled.

It's just pointless, and it cannot be anything other than disappointing. They should have let it rest with Mako.

>>43952322
There are actually Warcraft lore threads from time to time because it helps playing the tabletop.

>>43952600
The same people air the black dynamite cartoon. Do you think that is aimed at kids?

>>43952600

You're not just a glass is half empty kind of person. You're the kind of person that takes the glass, smashes it against the wall, then tells everyone within earshot they have shit taste in drinks.

In the interest of keeping this thread alive and not letting the depressed, testy No Fun Allowed guy killing it, I would like to point everyone to the link posted in >>43952381
as it may very well help you gain some insight into how Negative Nancy's can kill your fun by putting you on your guard, and thus unable to play. It's really quite a brilliant speech by Cleese, filled with information and comedy. Because not only is it important to know how to be creative so that you can be more creative, it's also important so that you can protect your creative process, because it's a process which is very vulnerable to disruptions of this sort.

>>43952574
>he thinks children can't stay up until 1 am
>he thinks parents monitor what kids watch on tv

Are you for fucking real? What kind of helicopter parents do you have?

>>43952565
I think that if it was entirely up to him, that he wouldn't have finished it at all. I think he's just being pressured by the suits to make something that will gain ratings, and that's certain to happen given the reaction to this publicity stunt.

>>43952567
So you would watch the show if there was no fighting and no aku? Just phil lamarr saying one word every once in awhile while walking through snow?

>>43952600
>Because it was never meant to end
It actually was meant to end, it just didn't get to. Nobody thinks it will continue forever either. It's not The Simpsons. Resolving the conflict is obviously not the point of the show, as you say, but it is obviously the conclusion to the show, and was always meant to be.

>>43952570
Can I post a thread about a piece of dog shit stuck under my shoe, and say IT'S IMPLIED TO BE WORLDBUILDING INSPIRATION FOR PIECE OF DOG SHIT RPG SETTING when called out for literal shit posting?
Either literally every topic imaginable is traditional games, or only traditional games are traditional games. Black and white. Consistency. Justice.

>>43952627
Yes it is. I don't think you realize how bad the marketing of violence towards children is in the united states.

It's probably why you have a mass shooting every week.

>>43952633
You should post for reddit with that quick wit of yours.

>>43952600
>Because it was never meant to end
I'm sorry, can you point out where it was said that the show was never supposed to have a conclusion? Do you have any links to some news article or interviews as evidence to back that up?

>>43952685
Black and white is not representative of the real world or most /tg/ settings.

>>43952694
Its obviously not aimed at children it has mister Robinson in it. eleven year olds dont know who mister Robinson is supposed to be.

>>43952639
>MY SAAAAAFE SPAAAAACE

>>43952682
The show was never meant to be concluded. It's the journey, not the destination that matters.

But not in the west. We gotta have three han solo movie prequels and a reboot of samurai jack and probably a pirates of dark water movie before the decade is out.

Why create new things when you can just be derivative and be praised for it?

>>43952668

I enjoyed the show because, despite being a cartoon, it did not always feel the need to fill the episode with pointless exposition. I enjoyed the fighting, yes, but I also enjoyed the episodes that put more focus on the environment and the journey, even if there wasn't much, if any actual dialogue. I liked how the show treated me as if I had an attention span longer than that of a goldfish and didn't need constant action or talking to keep me invested in watching it.

And of course, I liked the variety, because for every episode that was quite and more contemplative there would be another that was more about comedy or the action. Samurai Jack had a little bit of something for a very wide range of viewers.

>>43952668
You know what eleven year olds today will watch? The same sort of stuff they watched eleven years ago.

>>43952735

>The show was never meant to be concluded.

Can you cite a source for this claim? Or the claim that Genndy was pressured into coming back for this?

>>43952777
If anything Genndy has probably been exerting whatever pressure he could to get this back for years.

>>43952668
I didn't say kids didn't watch it, I said it wasn't specifically aimed at children. Just like My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic wasn't aimed at people in their late teens/early twenties, yet hey look bronies. Just because a show has a peripheral audience doesn't mean it's suddenly going to inflate certain aspects to cater to that audience

Ah, and here we see the wild faggot.

>making a South Park reference
>the show that had an episode where Stan starts acting EXACTLY like you are, and everybody stopped hanging out with him because he was a bitter, unfun asshat

>>43952685
No, we'll report it and it'll be deleted, most likely. Your "consistency" is autistic and unintelligent: the consistency of rule enforcement which /tg/ needs is that things which inspire people, and it's very hard to say ahead of time what inspires people, must not be killed. Because that kills inspiration, creativity, and playfulness. Now aggressive shitposting on the other hand, does not provide much inspiration, or help creativity or playfulness. There is no clearly defined line for determining the difference between these. There does not need to be one, either. Once, they tried to draw one, and it killed the board until they erased it. Now you want it back. That wrong, and you're wrong. I urge you to watch the video: it might change your mind, by helping you understand what creativity is and how it works. If you don't care about creativity, then you don't belong on /tg/ and you absolutely don't need to be on /tg/, because any rule you wish to discuss can be found via google.
>>43952735
Your argument continues to be unintelligent. There is really no actual argument against anything John Cleese says in that video, or anything I've said: all research into creativity says the same thing. Spouting tired buzzwords does not invalidate that, but it does invalidate any point you're trying to make.

For a GURPS novice, would you be willing to stat out Jack and a few others? I'm currently learning the system, and I like having examples of what a character will look like when you're done with them.

>>43953592
See?

>>43953662
See what? It says "1. Board games, paper games, war games, card games, etc. go here!"
If you're claiming the "etc." means "literally every topic imaginable", then it should be impossible to be banned for posting off topic, which I know is not true.
A cartoon does not fit into the category of traditional games by any stretch of imagination. It is a thing that could theoretically, in the infinite realm of possibility, SERVE AS INSPIRATION FOR a traditional game, but it is not a traditional game in itself, any more than a piece of dog shit stuck under my shoe is.
You can make a traditional game based on anything if you try. But if you're not going to frame the discussion in the context of a game, it doesn't belong here.

>>43953006
Pretty bad episode, I have to say.

>>43952685
Well, no, because that doesn't have anything to do with storytelling or narrative. It's literally shit.

>>43953760
The rules disagree with you, though. It says right there: "Board games, paper games, war games, card games, etc. go here!", so I really don't see what you're complaining about.

>>43952239
What was that one Star Trek RPG with fucking ingenious storytelling advice?

>>43953791
But it can theoretically serve as ~worldbuilding inspiration~ for a game!
If the topic of the board is "everything", then nothing is off topic, and no one is banned for posting off topic. This is demonstrably false, which means a limit exists.

Nothing's hard to understand about it. It says right there, in the rules, that board games and such go on this board. That means the news about a Samurai Jack continuation is relevant to this board. I mean, what do you think games are? The details of settings and systems?

>>43953855
Or we could be reasonable about this whole shabang and take things in moderation. You know, strike a balance between inspiration threads, card games, wargames, etc.

But that involves not being an alarmist asshole, so I guess that's not happening?

Frankly I'm past caring, the board isn't going to change no matter how much of a shitstorm you kick up. Actually, you're probably hurting your own platform by galvanising the opposition more than anything else. The smart man would just report and move on if he believed something threatened the integrity of his precious board.

>>43952668
Not him, but he'll yes I would watch it if it was Phil Lamar saying one word and walking through snow. IIRC there were multiple episodes with no Aku and less than 5 lines of dialogue, most of them not from Jack. The fact that these episodes were still awesome was testament to how great Samurai Jack was.

We meet again, oh Two-headed Judge of /tg/-relatedness.

>>43953655
At work, so I can't write up a full character sheet, but I can point out key bits of Jack.

Attributes: High stats all around (being a singular protagonist, Jack can't really afford to have major deficiencies). Very roughly, maybe ST 12, DX 16+, IQ 12, HT 14+. Jack's strong but that's not his forte and he's clever but not a super-genius, so I think 12s are appropriate. Jack is very very speedy and precise, though, so I think DX reaching to superhuman levels would work. Similarly, Jack's tough as shit, so super high HT also works. Assuming DX 16/HT 14, Jack would have a Basic Speed 7.5 and Move of 7; I would round BS up to 8 and maybe add a few more levels to speed so Jack can get that sweet, sweet 2-yard Step.

Skills: You could either list out the ton of skills Jack has (dude's nearly omniproficient in anything not technological), or you can save time and sanity and just pick up decent level of a handful of Wildcard Skills. Bow!, Explorer!, Fist!, Horseman!, Katana!, Move!, and a handful of normal skills to handle miscellaneous things Jack can do like being a sailor.

Advantages: Either Signature Gear or a gadget'd advantage to represent his magical sword, depending on if you want to build it as a sword with enchantment spells or a unique advantage. A couple levels of Super Jump. A few levels of Striking ST too. With the Weapon Master advantage, you can use Katana for cinematic skills like Power Blow (double or triple strength for one attack), Breaking Blow (#shrek any inanimate object), etc.

Disadvantages: Hoo boy. Enemy (Constant, Very Powerful) is a must. Bunch of levels of Low TL, low Wealth, Social Stigma (Ignorant), and similar traits to represent a man out of his own time. Not disadvantages per se, but Jack would suffer for not having Cultural Familiarity and would have the language at Accented. Jack's also a Hero, though, so Pacifism (No Innocents AND possibly Reluctant Killer), Selfless, Honesty, Sense of Duty, Code of Honor, etc.

Samurai Jack (at least the form of it being discussed here) is a western animation series.
It is definitely not a board game or similar to a board game in format.

>>43947744
Samurai Jack has always been a really cool setting. One of my favorite episodes was when that scientist created those assassin ninja robots to kill Jack for Aku; and he had to use a mechanical arm to properly fight them.

Would be interesting to see how a campaign would function in that setting. Shit like trying to get by without coming under the attention of Aku, or actively trying to mount a resistance which is ultimately pointless since Jack is the only one really capable of taking him down.

You're seriously becoming "that guy" anon, as if rule lawyers aren't bad enough. Board policing is seriously a shitty attitude to take here.

>>43954185
How could I do that if you shut down the creative process with your board policing? Watch the video I linked, it explains how creativity works. It does not work the way you think it works. A topic which inspires and makes people ready to play will inevitably lead to creativity, unless disrupted. What you're doing is disrupting. You're making people defensive, putting them on guard. Creativity is impossible under such conditions. Samurai Jack has inspired many of us in our traditional gaming, and continues to do so, and the news of a continuation makes us excited and inspired, and helps us get into a playful mood, where we can be creative in a way which pertains to the board's topics. A lot of people who haven't read anything about creativity, and thus have a harder time putting it into words than me, still instinctively know what threatens their creative process. Right now, that's you. So they insult you when you do, because they want you to go away so that they can play again. It's vital for this board that this process is allowed to exist. Traditional games can only exist in a playful environment, it's a prerequisite for their existence. That's why you can't draw a line in the sand like that and enforce such strict rules by the letter, because the letter of the rules is anathema to the very hobbies the board's for.
Really, watch the video. It's very informative and inspiring. It's John fucking Cleese explaining the creative process according to the best studies ever done on the subject. I mean, I get where you're coming from. You don't understand creativity, you've engaged in it but haven't read or thought much about it. I've been there, done that, been at the other place and done that too. I've also seen what happened last time a janitor enforced the rules per the letter. It fucked the board up, and years later it still hasn't recovered, because so many good posters and drawfags got fed up or banned and never returned.

>>43954469
You are the only one who cares. Everyone else thinks something awesome is happening, and is talking about it, making it /tg related by mapping it to /tg topics. Even I am only posting here to distract you so we can get on with the business of discussing jack and jack-related things.

None of my posts are preventing you from discussing the nuts and bolts of a system of game mechanics designed to fit a certain setting, and how one would go about actually running/playing it.
You wouldn't have done that if I hadn't said anything. You aren't going to frame the discussion in the context of a game. You don't want to discuss a traditional game even tangentially.
The name of the board is "traditional games", not "things that make you feel good".

>>43955074

>>43954864
The purpose of "traditional games" is "to make you feel good". The method of making traditional games, aka the creative process, involves "feeling good", according to every reputable study done on the subject. Watch the goddamn video: John Cleese knows what he's talking about, and I know what I'm talking about, and you don't have a goddamn clue about what you're talking about, because you have not studied what you're talking about. You're talking out of your ass and are, demonstrably, disrupting people, interfering with their fun, with their open-mindedness, with their play, and therefore with their creativity, and therefore with the hobbies this board was made for. How do I, and you, know this? Because they are telling you so. They are not lying to you. Do you think they are lying to you? Do you think every study on the subject of creativity is incorrect? Do you think you know better than everyone else?

>>43954086
Aku is difficult, but it would probably be difficult in any point buy system. He's damn near all powerful, can do all sorts of crazy shapeshifting bullshit, commands the entire globe, and is a powerful sorcerer on top of all that.

Actually, wait, it might actually be super easy. Shapeshift (Cosmic, can add most any trait, +50%; Flawed, -10%; Improvised Form, +100%; Reduced Time 5, Instantaneous Change, +100%) with all the motherfucking points so Aku can "shapeshift" to add whatever he wants, be it an innate attack, strikers, breath attack, etc. or an actual shapeshift into, say, and octopus form or humanoid woman. For his general sorcery, I'd also use the Sorcery system.

Also all the fucking Status, Wealth, Rank, Charisma, and Reputation. Maybe high TL (isn't Aku an alien or something? I remember a weird introduction for him; if that's the case, he would have knowledge of superior tech, hence the tech boom). Does Aku himself ever show propensity with machines, or is the designing and inventing relegated to intelligent minions? If he does (or did, or can) do it personally, add Gadgeteer as well.

>>43955117
And reported, I suggest everyone else to do the same. Legit the cancer in /tg/.

>>43955291
>last remnant
Or is he?

>>43955193
Oh, I forgot to add. How do we want to handle Aku's immunity?

GURPS doesn't really like doing True Invulnerability. No matter how expensive they price it, it would always be an objectively superior choice by far to the equivalent levels of DR. Instead, they recommend doing Effective Invulnerability, where you buy enough DR to make yourself immune to any threat. Get DR 30 in a fantasy game and you're effectively invulnerable. For a modern day game you need much more (plus some levels of hardened) to withstand bullets and missiles, and a bunch of radiation resistance (dem nukes). I honestly like that a lot (True Invulnerability is boring, Effective Invulnerability makes the players get creative and hunt down attacks I didn't expect; that invulnerable dragon was easy after the player dropped a fortune on giving their ballistas steel heads and then enchanting them to make them armor piercers), but it does make situations like this difficult.

>>43955336
Would there be any way to have a character return from the dead so long as a condition is met? That seems like it would work for that particular case.

>>43955336
The thing with aku isn't that he is immune per se, but that he is composed of a smokey liquid shapeshifting thingy. The episode of the zombies (Which, I should add, has some of the best animation in the whole show) has him turn into a literal force of nature, a giant tide of goo that Jack was barely able to defend himself against without the blade.

>>43955327
ORANGES = TRADITIONAL GAMES
APPLES = THE ABSTRACT CONCEPT OF A CREATIVE ENVIRONMENT AND THINGS THAT MIGHT PUT YOU IN THE RIGHT MOOD

/tg/, what brand of toilet paper is best? I feel more creative when my anus is dry but not scratched, therefore toilet paper is a traditional game!

>>43955382
Yep. Unkillable 2 makes your corpse indestructible and while you temporarily "die," your body heals at the normal natural rate, and you can start walking around when you get back to HP 0. You're vulnerable to continuous damage sources, though; if someone chucks your corpse in a volcano, the continual damage from the lava cancels out any natural healing.

Unkillable 3 makes you go *poof* when you die; you become a ghost of sorts until your body (again) heals up to 0, at which point it will reform somewhere (specific location is campaign dependent; might be where you choose, or current location, or one specific place). You don't have to worry about your body getting damaged before you're back in it.

There's also the Achille's Heel limitation, where there is one class of things that can stop you from coming back. The broader the class, the bigger the discount (e.g. a monster only killed with a stake of holly would have to pay more than a monster that can be permanently killed by any sort of wood, including a 2x4 from the local lumber yard). Since Jack's sword is the ONLY thing that can perminately kill Aku, there won't be any discount. At most, Aku will have a 1-point disadvantage (can be killed by Jack's sword).

Also, is Jack's sword the only thing that can KILL Aku or the only thing that can HARM him? I thought it was the only thing that can harm him and bullets and shit bounced off.

>>43955472
Seriously anon, you've gone from butthurt board police straight into shitposting. Honestly if you don't get a ban from this I'll honestly be surprised.

Has the fact that this thread still remaining up despite your bitching not sunken into your head yet?

>>43955382
Well there are the existence of the gods in the Samurai Jack universe. So maybe something like having their favor could work?

I don't recall anything explicitly bringing anyone back to life in the show though. However I haven't watched it in a long time so I don't remember in all honesty.

>>43955534
I think it is the only that that can kill him, Aku was harmed by a water goddess in one episode if I recall correctly.

Nice.

Diffuse, Unkillable 2, Regeneration (Fast), and lots of HP. Possibly DR (Not against magic attacks, -20%) as well.

Now that we know HOW Aku is invulnerable, we can go into detail into how Jack's Sword works. I would stat it up as an advantage and then slap some Gadget modifiers on it to make it a separate item.

Work's getting out, I'll post the stats for Jack's Sword when I get home.

>>43955472
A creative environment is not an abstract concept, any more than "my home" is an abstract concept. My home is where I live. A creative environment is a place where I can be creative. Playfulness, or the open mode, is not an abstract concept: it's a mindset, or a state of mind. The topic of toilet papers could very well lead to a creative process: the way you're approaching it makes it unlikely, because you're not inviting people to play. I'm not in the open mode right now either, and I can't approach the subject in a creative manner while I'm not in the open mode. I could switch to the open mode, but I don't see any point in doing so, because you don't want me to and don't want to do it yourself, so I have nobody to play with as of now and the topic doesn't incite me to play on my own. That's what /tg/ needs to be in order to function: a place which incites its users to play. Not just to play games, by discussing mechanics, but also to play so that they can be creative, which is a must if they are to play or make traditional games, which by necessity involves creativity, and not just the discussion of published rules and settings. The first step then is to create a creative environment for creative processes, through play. Through the open mode. The news of a Samurai Jack continuation is relevant because Samurai Jack inspires playfulness and creativity, and that means it helps the board. Board policing and strict adherence to the letter of the rules obstructs playfulness and creativity.

Your definition is too subjective.
The news of a Samurai Jack continuation certainly doesn't inspire MY playfulness and creativity, it just annoys me.
And if you say "so what, you're not alone here", then LITERALLY EVERYTHING has to be allowed because no one can predict what will inspire at least one person on a planet with seven billion and what won't. So I honestly don't see the difference in /tg/ relation between a thread about a cartoon and a thread about toilet paper.
This board doesn't exist to put you in the right mood to prepare you to discuss traditional games, it exists to discuss traditional games.
My definition is easy: is it a traditional game or explicitly framed in the context of one? If yes, it can stay. If no, there are other boards for that.

>>43956166

Glad we had this chat. Now get the fuck out.

>>43956326
Please draw a line. Please make a complete list of things that are not related to traditional games but still relevant to a dedicated traditional games board.
If you cannot do that, you are implying there is no such thing as off topic, which conflicts with my first-hand experience.

>>43956203
Of course it's subjective. We're not discussing the speed of light, we're discussing people's creative processes. Whether it inspires everyone is irrelevant: this board is filled with threads that don't inspire me. That doesn't mean they can't be here. I already addressed the toilet paper: you start a creative process about toilet paper, for real, and people catch on, then why not? This is something /tg/ has always done, derailing obvious trolls and shitposting threads into legit discussions about traditional games.
>This board doesn't exist to put you in the right mood to prepare you to discuss traditional games, it exists to discuss traditional games.
So you're saying that this board should not allow something which it needs in order to do what it's supposed to do?
>My definition is easy
It's irrelevant whether it's easy or not, what's relevant is whether it works or not. I've seen that definition in action, I've been here since probably '08, and the board turned to absolute shit when they started to enforce the letter of the rule in '10(?). When did it begin to recover? When they stopped enforcing the letter of the rules.

I want you to Google a game called engine heart. it was created by people on /tg/ because of a series of very interesting threads about the film the brave little toaster. the threads that led to the creation of the game were talking about the movie, which led to talking about the setting as a game world. which led to the creation of a new setting and mechanics to play a game in. The creation of a traditional game. By /tg/ For /tg/. If some giant faggot like you had come around and told everyone to fuck off back to /co/ to talk about brave little toaster then that tiny miracle never would have happened. Goodness in the world is snuffed out by people like you. I am not even the person you have been arguing with this whole time. Now please go murder yourself. If you look around this thread on your way out you will notice that it IS /tg/ related because people have started to talk about stating AKU in GURPS. This is the exact sort of natural progression into /tg/ relatedness everyone but you seems to understand. If you fucking let it happen it will become /tg/ related. Threads of all kinds do this everyday. All they need is to not be trampled on by faggots like you.

>you start a creative process about toilet paper
This thread's OP has not started a creative process about Samurai Jack, only conveyed an announcement. All the minuscule disconnected shreds of creativity I see were added by others, therefore it doesn't matter if the OP is creative or not.

>So you're saying that this board should not allow something which it needs in order to do what it's supposed to do?
No, I'm saying if you're not in the mood to mention traditional games at all, then you can go to some other board and come back when your mood has changed.
This thread is only a hostile environment because it doesn't belong here and multiple people are rightly annoyed by it.
All the OP had to do was explicitly invite discussion of a potential traditional game adaptation of Samurai Jack.

>the board turned to absolute shit when they started to enforce the letter of the rule
I liked it.

Then you are a fucking moron. Nazimod almost killed /tg/.

>No, I'm saying if you're not in the mood to mention traditional games at all, then you can go to some other board and come back when your mood has changed.
So I should go to a board which does not have a creative process as it is not dedicated to creative endeavors, and when that board has kick-started my open mode somehow I should come over here to the board where I need to be creative? That is not a very easy or efficient method.

>>43956316
You know, I'm starting to feel a bit unsure about this whole business. I feel like you're sending some rather mixed signals.

>>43957003
We are not a circle of friends you hang out with all day long waiting for your "open mode" to work.
How hard is it to write "this cartoon is cool, how do I make a traditional game out of it", and not just "this cartoon is cool"?
>how hard is it to report and hide
It's the principle of the thing.

Even the assburgers among us, among them myself, are generally able to feel confident about exploring the creative potential of a topic on /tg/ without someone explicitly telling us we're allowed to.

>>43957194
but thats just it, this guy is so autistic he can only do what he is explicitly told he is allowed to do. hence his insistence on all content fitting 100% into, no more no less a "traditional game". I assume he also is not ok with dwarf fort threads or threads talking about lord of the rings because they are not traditional games.

Look, the ending was that the entire show was the movie Stranger than Fiction. It's fine. The plot came to terms.

>>43957445
Correct.

>post about ponies anywhere but the dedicated pony board
>immediate 3 day global ban, every time

>post about literature on the dedicated traditional games board, when a dedicated literature board exists, without even trying to frame the discussion in an appropriate context
>nothing bad happens

>>43957573
even though LotR informs huge amounts of traditional games information is derived from it? And the people on /lit/ couldn't give half a fuck about different kinds of elves and you KNOW /tg/ does? Why do you want everyone to have shitty boring threads when /tg/ has more people who care more about and have more to say about a topic even if it is not a traditional game? sounds to me like you should be on whatever reddits traditional game space is if you want such rigid structure.

and don't cry about you not being allowed to post ponies here after spending the better part of my entire night ruining a good thread about a good show.

>mods sage-locked the thread
Well damn.

A TRUE MAN DOES NOT SHY AWAY FROM ANY CHALLENGE! HAVE AT YOU, SCOUNDREL!

>>43957525
But did the fans come to terms? It's one thing for a show to end because it's run it's course, but when a show fails to get a third season simply because the people who were going to air what was a clear winner chose instead to go for pure shit that they produced fast enough for people to not immediately realize it's shit. By the time people were actually able to go 'hey, this is shit', adult swim could play off what they produced as successful simply due to the fact that with so much garbage being put out at once some of it was bound to get sizable amounts of attention.

>A board has no hard-coded preferences. It is the sum of its anons.

In /lit/'s case, the sum of its anons pretty much hate everything fantasy with a passion. The sum of its anons creates these hard-coded preferences and lurkers either leave or adapt to that.
