No, but seriously what system would be the better to run a Psychonauts game in?

>>51318365
I'd guess GURPS but maybe Mutants and Masterminds could work too?

>>51318381
That's cheating, those two can run anything.

>>51318392
Then what about Lacuna?

>>51318446
>Lacuna
This one I don't know. Tell me more.

>>51318466
>This RPG provides a dark, surreal setting where the players are Mystery Agents diving into the collective unconscious to dispatch Hostile Personalities to the Lacuna. Criminals are then "cured" of their "criminal disease" in order to provide "a better, safer world."

I've never played it but I've always thought the premise was pretty cool. I'm sure it would require a bit of homebrew to lighten the tone but it sounds like it has some of the right mechanical components.

So the mental world sometimes ignores the laws of physics... can any system handle that and handle the switch back to the real world?

>>51317973
>What's your character like?
I'm the DM, so I'd probably be a camp counselor who smokes a pack a day to keep his twitchiness in check. A bachelor who's pathetically bad at cooking, as in 'freezes toast' bad. Has an extensive Def Leppard collection.
>Who's your BBEG?
Probably some horrid entity from the beyond that finds human dreams delicious and introduces shit-inducing nightmares and hallucinations in the campers as his form of haute cuisine.

>>51317973
I only have one friend to play with but I'd like to try being the DM who controls all the kids at the camp while my friend plays as the only camp counselor that didn't mysteriously disappear.

>Josh got into a fight with his invisible girlfriend and they're not talking
>Laura's accidentally switched minds with her pet turtle
>Kara's charging batteries between her hands while apologizing for overloading your radio.
>And Timmy's shadow is still moving

>>51318365
Dice and Glory has an entire system devoted to psionics that separates them into disciplines like pyrokinesis, healing, etc and has difficulty checks based on the situation.

It's the only non-GURPS system I can think of that really expands on the basic psychic idea into different skillsets.

>>51318365
DRYH maybe, if you plan on the characters not being amazingly talented psi-geniuses that never struggle with their powers

>>51318392
>>51318381
MnM would get kinda samey on the characters if they're all psychics doing psychic things. Although other systerms probably will too.

BBEG: Head counselor for the rich kid's camp across the lake. Fuck that guy.

>>51319439
Why would you give Shinji electro-kinesis?

>>51318904
I'm not sure the madness and exhaustion stuff really work in this context.
