I feel like Mutants and Masterminds could work as a good basis for a Dota2 or League of Legends tabletop rpg. I mean personally I've always seen both games as a kind of Fantasy Superhero fight club, the only problem is I think the whole item building aspect of both would be lost in that system.

Then again I've only played like two sessions of M&M so I would be a poor judge of that.

Ahri and those bird fuckers are humans with animal parts and that bird bitch has the audacity to call Rengar a "race traitor". Rengar doesnt even act like a bad guy in the lore he just likes hunting.

The one thing that is kinda funny is how Rengar lost his parents but is raised by a human and becomes an amazing hunter while Nidalee loses her parents and is raised by animals. I always thought that when rengar is not hunting he acts more human than nidalee.

I started working on this, but put it on the back burner for awhile. Now that the expansion is coming out tomorrow, I feel my ambition returning.

The thing with league lore is that it mostly feels like fanfic, like someone tried to make a setting by throwing as many 'cool' ideas as possible to make a setting with no regards to overall tone.
The fact that many league characters are clear rip offs of existing characters in established franchises only add to my displeasure.

Dota on the other hand is a lot more subtile about how they tell the story, leaving room for speculation, interpretation and theories, like PA becoming spectre. additionally they have one theme and mostly stick with it, sure there are silly characters like bristleback and tusk but similar to Puck in Berserk they don't change the overall atmosphere.

I wish its community wasn't a bunch of whiny bitches. Great fukken game though.

The Gears of War games are a guilty pleasure to me, and I would love to see a table top game for its setting. I'm not even talking about for a war game, which I think might have actually been done, I'm talking straight up roleplaying game. The Locusts are a fascinating villain, the human government is delightfully heroic and corrupt, and the lives of the scavengers are so painfully under explored that stepping into the shoes of people just trying to survive in the middle of a world wide apocalypse war has a ridiculous amount of potential in my eyes.

Dark Souls is something I'd be interested in running/playing a game in, but there's two problems.

1. Half the appeal of a Dark Souls game is the bleakness of the universe and that you're going to get your ass beat, get up, get beat, get up, and so on until you win. I don't really know how I'd translate this to a tabletop form without it either being hopelessly frustrating or simply removing tension from combat completely.

2. Crafting a workable narrative in the Dark Souls style would be a real trick. Part of the fun of Dark Souls is puzzling shit out for yourself by looking through item descriptions and filling in the gaps on your own. I don't really know how I'd do this for a group of in person players without just throwing exposition at them.

>>53884351
I think both arc warden and weaver are more likely to be the strongest hero.
Weaver for creating reality itself and zed for beeing able to imprison what at the current point are the strongest forces in the universe, the ancients.

Have you considered the possibility of keeping the me hanic of resurrecting at bonfires? It's not very standard for tabletop RPGs, but the cycle of dying and then trying again until you make it seems to integral to Dark Souls that I'd strongly consider it.

>>53878719
So people who worship machine gods? or are we talking like full horizion zero dawn where the world is crazy old and civilization fell a long time ago and now its the people who are very weirdly primitive but also have scatterd peices of the long forgotten tech

Cause i mean if its the latter play other dust
it allows for rolling of enclaves most of which fall in the tech level 0 or tech level 1 category meaning they cant make more (this is sole production on their own btw) then stuff like knives and spears made with rocks and stick at level 0
And at level 1 make t hings like swords and actual metal spears
All in all it allows for a large varied experience if you are willing to put some time into rolling up a bunch of unique enclaves
Even the base ones are pretty good
Medium tech level outpost that has a crazed (ancient psychic) that they worship the non psychics are enslaved while the higher class are full of psychics
and then there is hope or salvation i dont remember its name that is a low tech like level 0-1 that just has a giant fucking food resource and is really cool towards everybody unless they are like 110% evil

>>53884392
Your second issue can be handled purely through how you reveal things. Have your NPCs always being vague fucks only pointing them in potential right directions. Create multiple areas that don't necessarily lead towards where your campaign is planned to go. When they beat a boss, give them the loot, then tell them literally nothing else. Be visually descriptive, but not narratively.

As it comes to the YOU DIED system, yeah, that might be harder to figure out. Maybe keep it similar to how the games handle it, except time does advance. So maybe they go back to get their souls, but the boss they tried to kill is gone and doing something else, and they have to go to a new location to deal with them. Or maybe the enemies are waiting in ambush to get them before they can get their stuff back. It's not perfect, but it would add a unique spin to things.

Maybe not literally this, but a similar themed metal setting. I actually developed quite a lot of ideas about how would I like to do that over the years, but I was always two occupied to properly sit down to it. One day I will.

>>53885624
FAE = Fate Accelerated.

It's a simplified Fate system. using things called "approaches" instead of skills and stats and stuff like that. Approaches are broadly applicable; they are things like "forceful" (while it's usually things like breaking down doors, it could be intimidating someone into doing something), etc.

You'd just replace those with the color wheel, since they work in similarly broad categories.

>>53885694
>Does Dota lore, as small as there is of it, even has any sort of internal coherency? Isn't it pretty much just bunch of different characters with completely unimportant and unconnected backstories full of random names?
No and yes.

The lore is entirely contained in the comics, which only establish characters for the various vendors, and character back stories which are mostly just random shit.

Some characters have minor relations with one another, like Lina and Crystal Maiden, but there's not an over-arching setting for stuff to be taking place in.

>>53885733
I like that one 3 panel fan-comic where it's speculated that Lina and CM are actually Jakiro's kids.

Rakan and Xayah are using magic to help them blend in wi th the humans as they appear to be trapped in the human world

>>53884392

I'd probably solve 1) by just running the game to be very, very difficult (traps, giving certain enemies dangerous abilities they have to avoid or learn to counter, making bosses genuinely hard or with weaknesses that cant be easily countered first try) and then having the players respawn at a bonfire, but with a limited number of respawns.

You could give them items like the DS2 Human Effigy or DS1 humanity, that keep them from turning Hollow. They can find more in the world, but keep them limited enough to keep things risky.

Could be fun actually. Fantasy Left 4 Dead, where increasing threats kill off your party as they struggle to find the next bonfire where their fellows can rejoin the party. You don't need to really worry about being particularly fair, and EXP even has a genuine explanation for once.

>>53884392
How about making it so that when they die they do respawn, but in some completely different place instead of the last bonfire they rested at? The death would still be dangerous, because it would make them lost and fuck up their plans, as well as make them closer to hollowing, but you would avoid the whole "having to replay the area again and again" thing. Could be kind of confusing, but cool if done well.

>>53878809
Huh; I remember you. Didn't you chug a bunch of pills and worked on it overnight?

>>53879789
>>53885694
Besides the comics, there's a series of lore videos made by the biggest meme in the scene that are pretty good. It doesn't have a lot to go on besides the brief hero lores and generally works by connecting those and keeping in mind things from the comics, but it's definitely not just random names and information without a sort of bigger picture.

There are plenty of characters in League who are boring beyond belief. That even includes some who used to be pretty interesting before Riot's new writing team decided to shit all over stuff that didn't need changing.

See: Poppy and Galio.

>>53886373
But instead of him take Dragonknight for example, who's backstory, although perhaps not that original, is much more and enough to imagine an interesting plot for him. Or Bloodseeker who's story is imo genuinely quite interesting and creative. There are both more original and more generic characters in both games, no sense in cherrypicking to see which one is "better" in this aspect. It's not like lore and writing is important for mobas anyway, at least not too much. And since to make a proper setting you would have to speculate and add lots of stuff to both of them, it all boils down to personal preference really.

So which of the armies do you support? Murder horde or literally nazies

>>53892498
Literal nazis, no contest. Kyros is meant to bring order and law to this land, and you can't have that with an army who's only desire is to fight, because eventually there will be no one left to battle.

you could also side with the freedom fighters but that kinda goes against the idea of being an evil minion now doesn't it?

>>53892582
Chorus is a really bad joke, but in hindsight I feel like the ending kinda fits the freedom fighters the best

>>53880541
>Dota 2's lore is more subtle, almost Dark Souls like
dude, shut the fuck up

>>53892624
Either freedom fighters or going full betrayal on everybody, sure. I do like the game and I do think they handled the endings well enough, but it does suck that there isn't really an option to stay loyal to Kyros.

I do hope the game gets a sequel though. The gameplay implications of controlling edicts and being at war with a big bad with your own customized army sounds like a hoot.

>>53892624
I must admit that i like the Chorus "the culling" joining ritual.

>>53892681
There is a DLC comming soon and with it a free update that should allow you to remain loyal to Kyros

This. Star Wars Pocket Model TCG was just not enough

Oh, yeah, definitely... but what if someone made it and there was this pdf that existed of it... it'd be something like Dungeons: The Dragoning all over again.

Ayup. Then started the /fvgt/, got Batavi to get the Love and Krieg threads started, started the Fading Embers setting, then discovered that the board just isn't at the point where it will support dedicated projects like that without constant effort from one single person holding it all together, descended into cynicism when everything died during my finals, them started counter-shitposting and satirizing /tg/ until someone posted a Far Side Comic which I then adopted to start namefagging as Wayne.

Yes this is very autistic behavior. This is deliberate.

Hot damn, I had no idea. That's pretty sweet.

I'm doing this right now. It's been my holy grail to make a mecha Fantasy game.

I don't have a pic, but Edge Chronicles. Holy shit those were good, basically nine books of almost nothing but fuckawesome worldbuilding and art.

How would dota ever work as a table top game? And don't they already have an ASSFAG table top game?

If you want the real clone Wars experience, build two armies yourself, then play both sides.

>Wakfu
High fantasy high adventure with a shitload of fun lore and demons bound to magic items. System considered is 13th Age, with the Icon mechanic applied to the nations instead and custom racial classes. I just don't know enough about the math of 13th Age to create custom racial classes that match the feel of the classes in the game/show.

>Spiral Knights
A setting centered around a giant megadungeon. Would probably do well for a dungeon crawling game. Actually considered hacking Dungeon Squad for it.

You mean like the 1998 rainbow six ?

That's an awesome suggestion i'll take a look at it, though I'd be looking more for tech as magic rather than straight up psychics. Could it handle that sort of change?

>>53881288
>Numenera

I've looked into that and it's much to "out there" for what i'm looking for, though I do love the idea of Cyphers scavenged from ruins.

DotO: The Broda Game

At the start of the game, two teams (or one team vs the GM) select their heroes. Heroes have four abilities named the same as they are in DotA.

Heroes have four main statistics: level, life, mana, and damage. They also accumulate gold over the course of the game. For 10 gold tokens, a hero can advance one level on its carry track or buyback.

Carry tracks represent the damage of a hero and how well they scale over the course of the game. A hero's current damage stat is determined by their place on their carry track. Heroes have different carry track values.

Crystal Maiden might have:
4 / 6 / 8 / 10 / 12 / 14 / 16
While Luna may have:
1 / 3 / 6 / 9 / 14 / 20 / 27

The game proceeds in rounds. Each turn, players draw five possible action cards from their action deck. During their planning phase, they can trade one card to any of their teammates for another card. Then they play three cards in order, face-down. The possible actions are Prepare for Fight, Push, or Farm. These action cards are played for specific locations: Dire Jungle, Radiant Jungle, Radiant Off-Jungle, Dire Off-Jungle, Bottom Lane, Middle Lane, or Top Lane.

Farming is just farming. Player gains 1d6 gold.

Pushing will cause the player to push forward in a lane and farm aggressively. They take a -5 penalty to damage stat if a fight begins. Player gains 1d8 gold. Player rolls half of their dice against the tower in a lane. If the sum of the dice rolled against a lane's tower is greater than 10 (T1)/20 (T2)/40 (T3)/80 (Rax)/120 (Ancient), the tower is destroyed. Destroying each level of towers awards the destroying team 3 gold tokens each. In addition to the gold reward, destroying the Rax inflicts a -1 gold penalty to all farming or pushing actions done in a lane.

If multiple players are farming or pushing a lane, the value of the highest rolled farming or pushing gold dice is used as the gold award, which is split among those farming or pushing as desired.

I really want warframe as an ttrpg, and I've tried writing it myself before but there's just so much shit in the game now that it's hard to keep up to date enough to be playable. I've also looked at and run Warframe: Armistice Era, which was bad and generally discouraging. I guess it'll just never happen.

The Stormlight Archive setting is pretty great. The main problem is how to balance all the Surgebinding/Honorblades. It would be awesome play in the Cosmere really, with characters from different books with alomancy and Elantris magic but I think is impossible to find someone as hyped for this as I am

>>53900540
Preparing to Fight allows for a hero to use an ability without paying the dice cost.

Fighting:
If heroes on opposing teams are present in the same location, they can Fight instead of whatever action they would otherwise do. If a Fight begins during a turn, players may forgo the actions they planned on their turn and move to the location of the Fight, acting in two rounds of the turn instead of three.

Players take penalties or bonuses as appropriate. They can be Aggressive or Defensive.

If they are aggressive, then they roll their attack skill in d6s and target an enemy hero. To use an ability, a player must spend the dice listed on the ability. So a Frostbite might take a 4+ and 5+ dice to cast plus 2 mana tokens. Dice not used for abilities are spent as damage. Damage inflicted is equal to the total number of damage dice pips, divided by 5 if the target is Aggressive, and 20 if the target is Defensive.

Players gain experience as the game progresses. Each hero killed gives 5 xp and each action spent farming or pushing gives 1 xp. A player levels up each time they gain 10 xp. The maximum level is 25. Each level increases their mana, life, and damage, and every 5 levels grants a special talent.

Players may buy special items with gold which grant damage, life, mana, or special abilities.

I've been kicking this idea around my head for a bit. Feel free to call it shit or suggest improvements.

Came here for this.

Yes, you could fairly easily run a game set in Hyrule using D&D or your preferred fantasy system. Any idiot could write up some stats for Gorons, Zoras, and Deku Scrubs.

The problem is that it's nearly impossible to capture the puzzle-solving feel of Zelda in a TTRPG. Spatial/visual puzzles just don't work with tabletop unless you literally want to design a new type of board game for every session.

Also, designing puzzles for groups is a damn hard problem. A normal Zelda-level puzzle becomes fucking trivial if you have 4 people in a room trying to figure out the solution.

That's why the 4 Swords/Tri-Force Heroes games focus on puzzles that require precise timing and coordination between teammates. But IDK how the hell you would pull that off in a tabletop game.

>P1, roll to shoot the red switch
>P2, roll to throw a bomb at the blue switch
>P3, roll to jump over the gap and hit the pressure plate in time
>Whoops, you failed. Start over from the beginning.

So, if you're running a Zelda game, I guess it would probably end up playing more like Hyrule Warriors. Maybe not the worst thing in the world, but it doesn't seem like it would capture the magic of that setting.

How would a satisfying combat system work for this?

It's too complicated to put into a board game

>>53901123
I honestly think a campaign more in line with the original Legend of Zelda game would be more fitting. Hell, the map and dungeons could translate into a basic hexcrawl, one that could be populated with even more things to find and random encounters.

Good taste, anon. I would love to play a bomb knight delving into the clockwork depths.

>>53901123
I think you could get around that by considering puzzles to be freeform, if only to save time. Pretty much every item only works in 4 or 8 directions with the only problems with accuracy being the character's placement (misjudging bomb arc, over/underestimating travel time for arrows).
>>53901299
This could also work, OG LoZ was more a tactics game with the occasional delivery sidequest, finding the weakness item, and figuring out which block to push to open the secret door to said item. Even things like hiding the key to the next room in/on an enemy like a skeleton or darknut could easily be described after a simple perception roll.
