It would have just enough ridiculousness to allow for comedy, but not to such a degree that it gets in the way of characterization and descends into "lol random" territory. All in all, the perfect semi-serious Sci-fi campaign (Except for Season 7, that one was shit and Kochanski was a boring cunt).

Well I don't fault them for that. How the hell do you make a system that can generate millions of variations of guns WITHOUT automating it for ease of use.

>>50132807

Have a basic stat block for pistols, shotguns, assault rifles, sniper rifles,rocket launchers and shotguns.

Have a mod table for semi-auto, automatic, single shot, rocket (multi-rocket pods for rocket launchers), and elemental types

Have a table for brand variance effects.

Once all of that is established. Roll on each table once for loot finds in crates. Basic enemies have basic gear unless story appropriate, and unique weapons are strictly quest rewards with crazy ass effects.

DONE!

BITCH DID I SAY IT COULD NOT BE DONE?

in borderlands a weapons damage, effects, magazine capacity, and range all depend on the parts assembled to produce it, character level, and weapon brand name, part of the charm of the setting as presented is that you can get a shotgun for sniping or a full auto sniper rifle

basically, /tg/ refused and continues to refuse to to let any borderlands game run without a complex weapons making system. otherwise it's just a funny setting to play a slightly apocalyptic-feeling game in...

it's dumb, but it's always been the sticking point.

Savage Worlds with Savage Armory. It has a point-buy weapon creation system. Then just make little cards out of it and pull from those when you generate a gun randomly.

I think it would be pretty fun for a campaign. It's like a lowered powered supers game but with mercenaries, vigilantes, and agents of clandestine organizations. PCs get a mission they need to fulfill, using their unique powers and skillsets.

I wouldn't know what system to run it in though. I've heard Mutants and Masterminds or the Atomic Robo RPG could work but i'm still considering my options.

pic related, it's a book series not a tv show or vidya, but it might be awesome to play it as a fleet-strike team sent in on long duration recon against the Green Peace Commandos(a legitimately powerful military special force) or cultists of Baal. over 4 books the setting shows up to be very consistent and well assembled.

>>50134627
actually, the setting might be fun to play where you start as a team of faceless mercs and work your way up to named character status.

so you start as a field demo-expert and you work your way up to Junkrat levels of notoriety as a destroyer of buildings.

>>50134798
>actually, the setting might be fun to play where you start as a team of faceless mercs and work your way up to named character status.

I don't think that's the draw for players at all. Players want to be special.

>>50134627
A lot of the characters are Shadowrun as fuck.

>>50134826
>Players want to be special.

>>50134845
I disagree with this on the principle that they're PCs and the kind of fiction Overwatch conveys.

>>50134827
The Shimada brothers definitely, none of the metahumans though, except maybe Roadhog.

I wouldn't use Shadowrun for it though.

>>50133700
It's especially cool when you think of or all the cool, if somewhat ridiculous,shit that exists in the Red Dwarf universe. For instance
An evolved common Cold that physically manifests aspects of your pshche, like confidence and paranoia
shapeshifter creatures that steals aspects of your personality
A Robot that is formed by the Collective Intelligences of every one on board the space station where it exists
An Andriod that survived till the end of time, developed saw that there was nothing that came after The End besides endless Abyss, and spends his existence judging people on whether or not they have the right to exist
A Giant Squid that secretes a toxin that makes you hallucinate an experience of complete and utter despair
A holographic ship of the Best and brightest, (and most smegheaded) holographic people that travels the galaxy on its eternal mission
And anything else I haven't mentioned. As long as your players can suspend their disbelief, there would so much cool shit you could do with just the cannon of the universe.

>>50134902
also soldier(vanilla street-sam), McCree(handgun adept), D.Va(rigger).

and all the augmented characters missing limbs...

but there is no teleportation or time travel in shadowrun. so it cannot do characters like Tracer, Sombra, or Edgelord.

Reaper is literally just a vampire or a wraith (as portrayed in the 2D Storytime) with body armor and shotguns.

Granted yeah, he has a teleporting power, but that's kind of meh as far as the comparison goes. In his cutscenes we never really see it, we only see his wraith form.

I see what you did there, it's a pity nobody plays the multyplayer anymore. single player felt good to play...

>>50130964
See, for me the thing about the BL games are that it is a system which is simultaneously about Skills the players have *and* the gear they acquire, and often how those two interact is the gold experience.

On one side, every player in the game has not one but three dedicated skill trees which branch off from their signature ability, and these are complimentary trees that can cause significant differences between player A and player B. There's a world of difference between an ADHD weapon-switch krieg and a "phoenix shield" pyromancer krieg.

What you need to do is find a supers system where everyone is really just a stock human, but on top of that they have an ability... And they are permitted to slowly expand on that ability over time, while still having basic human stats, like being vulnerable to bullets.

>>50130964
Get out of here Anthony Burch.

>>50137636
perhaps instead of classes you build a character at the beginning, and select your signature from a large list. some have prerequisites like "must play a female character" or "strength no less than X"

>>50137765
who?

>>50137762
>about Skills the players have *and* the gear they acquire, and often how those two interact is the gold experience.
I suppose that is true...

>while still having basic human stats, like being vulnerable to bullets.
...most of the time...

but I see your point, so what might need to happen is each signature ability has it's own tree of skills, a LOOONG tree, like, a dozen tiers or more, and you only take one ability from each tier.

Auriga

Pretty solid, if fairly generic, fantasy with some fairly unique races and a lot of Endless lore to draw on, plus lots of potentials for crazy Dust shenanigans where PCs are concerned.

I always liked the idea of a party of Dust-Enhanced mercenaries, who would stand out against the background of the world in a way that is pretty appropriate for PCs in a general fantasy setting.

Yeah, but it would depend on having good players who are funny and can Roleplay well. Sure the Sci-Fi aspect of Red Dwarf had a lot of cool concepts to work with, but it was the characters and how well they were written that made it work so well. If the character's aren't as engaging, relatable, or humorous it loses a majority of it's charm.

Strike! would be pretty good for quite a handful of games. Anything that's team-play oriented with asymmetric characters (basically all the MOBAs, most MMOs), as well as tactical stuff like XCOM or FFT.

If you are going for gameplay over simulation anyway.

All players would have to think of a proper name, people could work in the Great Game, or battle devils, and there would be none of the bullshit fucking grind of those games.
