Very carefully. Everyone would have to be 100% on their characters before it began, since there's really no good way to introduce new characters. Then character death becomes a problem. At least with that there are like what, 8 different ways to revive?

>>46677892
Sorry man, the ending was total garbage so now you have to wait for the epilogue that will fix everything, right? And then after that there's the game.

I hate to break it to you but 8-Bit Theater ended years ago and it keeps getting dredged up on semi-regular basis until today.

Archagents and Exiles should be fluff. They should have as little real impact to the game as possible, SBURB is complex enough as is.

Someone had an idea to run it in FATE with Kind Abstrati and aspects as Skills, that could work.

This topic comes up periodically in the Homestuck fandom, and the general consensus is that it won't really work. If you absolutely insist, just get a GM who's got a universal system they like and adapt it yourselves, but honestly Homestuck works better for Freeform RP than it does for a TTRPG

>>46677992
Hussie actually once mentioned he'd like to do that during a Q&A on his tumblr. This was years ago, though, no way of knowing if he actually plans on it.

The issue is getting one before getting in the game. Unless you're in a Roxy situation.
>>
Seer of Void, how fare ye comrades.

I feel like all you really need is a generic narrative driven system. Anything too complex will make Pathfinder look like a fucking one page system.

I feel like it would have a lot of potential with the right people though, especially if Hussie ever came out with a book or something to quantify a lot of unknowns in the setting considering the kid's session is by its nature incredibly unique.

Then again such a book is against the spirit of the narrative in a way.

>>46678175

You'd think that but the freeform community for Homestuck is probably as convoluted as the comic itself.
>>
>>46679221
Was a big part of it for a while. Had fun.

OP I would start by looking through the archive for the other 10 million threads made on the subject in the last 7 years.

If you honestly can't be assed or lack the critical thinking skills necessary to locate and search the archive, just use GURPS.

Finally. Now I can binge the rest of the story.

I stopped at the scene just after the final boss put on his puppet show. Would it take a month to get through the rest of it?

I think the rest is about 4 hours long or less.

>All these Anons who somehow know their role and aspect

>haven't even finished the series, planning to binge through it all sometime

Why.
>>
>>46677828
I'd follow this >>46678044 rule set. It's a lot more fleshed out than the one I was looking at a few hours ago. Seems complicated at first but is actually pretty simple.

I'll probably sleep on this info and get started on building a session for some people tomorrow. Well, not "tomorrow" but when I wake up.

Some of my friends and I actually played a Homestuck RPG a few years ago. The rules were a little weird: all complex actions use a quirky confres that utilized a deck of cards. Suits determined tier of success, numbers and faces were your actual number, basically. Still, we set out with a terrifying 9 players and managed to get into the Medium, whereupon player infighting and general lack of interest from the two DMs made it all collapse.

I made a pretty piss-poor character, desu. Freddy Xavier, essentially a mashup of Dave's attitude with Rose's interests, and a healthy heap of grimdark and magic thrown in. An... Heir of Blood, I think? I still don't understand necessarily how you determine what your class and aspect are from your history and personality, but that was something I was gonna rock via attained powers. (This was back before Act 5 had even ended, so the ruleset didn't even know what all the classes were "really" like.)

There was an interesting occurrence, though: a lot of the character interaction had happened outside the game in-channel (irc, natch) as "pesterchum," and it was determined that if anyone was gonna snap under pressure, it'd be Freddy, who was crushing on the resident weeaboo (who secretly was crushing on the resident skeptic intellectual asshole). We proceeded to write about 5 separate stories on what would happen if Freddy went Grimdark, as a proposed Doomed Timeline.

Some time later, while actually using the silly Pesterchum.exe program someone had written, just chillin' about, I was messaged out of the blue. Huh. That's weird. Just a random message. I don't remember the names off the top of my head, but essentially some people were setting up a completely random ARG-like RP where they messaged people and ran through this story about destroying Skaia and moving on to serve some Doc-Scratch-like entity in destroying the Four Suns (adding more than just the Green! Huh.)

Cont'd
>>
2/? Cont'd

So it was that for the next few weeks, I'd plop down in front of my laptop and get on Pesterchum, waiting with bated breath for that little "ping" of someone in the OtherGame to contact me. They all remained incredibly tight-lipped about who they were, what they were doing, even a few times answering my OOC queries with IC responses, then ending the chat. It was mysterious, it was breathtaking, it was enticing. It kept my attention, easily.

Finally, one of the players broke, after a particularly depressing segment where someone died in front of Freddy, leaving him on a ship headed for the Red(?) Sun. Turns out it was some kind of experimental RP thing a dude and his gf had concocted, and that it might not last much longer, because they'd need to move out of their apartment soon. Still, I thanked them for a wonderful time, and gave my heartfelt encouragement to continue.

Haven't heard from them since.

Ah, I found my old pesterchum logs that I copied over when my MacBook from college finally gave out. Listing in alphabetical order, because idgaf about trying to list these in importance:

adulatingColleage
cogentedFrondeur
deceitfulConfidant
discontentItinerant
ebullientAssailant - the aforementioned gf
militantExemplar
multifariousPerceptor
namelessPanderer - the one who started it all
nescientProletariat
ostentatiousGuardian - aforementioned First Guardiant, like Doc Scratch
temerariousCorsair

and of course, myself, atramentousProspect

Maybe some day I'll make a thread detailing everything that happened. Maybe some day I can find these people again and catch up as online buddies. But for now, I'll stop hogging the thread. Here's a pic of Freddy drawn by one of our players.
>>
A game about Derse, Prospit, Exiles and Skaia would be so much better than a game about the actual "players"
>>
>>46677828
I wouldn't.
Working to destroy all life on earth would be a better use of my time than doing that
>>
Feature-based is the way to go. I'm running one in GURPS.
>>
>>46686506
There's all kinds of shit you can look at that's based on personality tests and shit. It's all user made though so take the reliability of them with a grain of salt.
