Lost Chronicles- A Bionicle RPG

Ive never played this in particular, but it is based off the WRP system, which is pretty good, desu. I dont like how closely matoran and toa stats edge it, though.

It also seems like there's no actual rules for a lot of the vehicles, and some of the feats seem obtuse/counter-intuitive to use together. It's apparently still a work in progress.

Are kaitas available?

Yes, but the ruling is a little weird. The system uses something similar to Destiny points from Star Wars:Edge of the Empire, where PC's start with a limited number of Unity, Duty, and Destiny points. PC's can use Unity points to form a Kaita/Nui, but the only effect this seems to have is increasing the Profile/Size of the 2 characters to massive. There isn't any listing of further statting or abilities of a Kaita, which is a shame.

A: Bionicles are fucking cool
B: So long as you aren't being a normie and summing the stories up as "Good vs Evil" . Goddamn they are so fucking convoluted and confusing... And you kinda need to KNOW something about them to understand some of the preestablished monsters.

What made boncles lore so interesting and unique?
Inspiration being the Ocenic culture? Just the fact they are basically painkillers?

It's a weird mish-mash of stuff. Makuta Teridax is basically Lucifer from Paradise Lost by way of cyborgs.

It was a weird blend of tropes and concepts which no one really conveyed in quite this way before.

For me, I found the early stuff far more appealing. I liked the mix of used-future sci fi with the Oceanic fantasy elements. They married this stuff really well, creating a distinctive and fun personality to the whole thing.

The franchise started losing me as it went on though. Partially because I was outgrowing Legos and partially because I just wasn't into how it was going full science fantasy.

Everything kinda went out the window when Mata'nui was thrown out of his body.

By which you mean, once they lost that A+ aesthetic and went to Metru Nui

At the time Lego was in serious financial difficulty and had already made multiple failed attempts at breaking into the Action Figure market, so they were willing to take a risk on something weird.

The medicine thing was deliberate as Christian Faber, one of the lead designers, had an ilness right before they started work. If you want a look into Bionicle's development check out his Blog, Faber Files.

Not just an illness, he has inoperable brain cancer

Didn't realize that this project actually went anywhere. I was part of the project during it's inception, and set up the framework for the Unity, Duty, Destiny points (which I originally designed off of the Star Wars Saga system, not EotE), as well as some other small details. Seems that the project developed a lot more after I left. Pretty interesting
