Speaking of, why hasn't someone made some kind of Fist of the North Star or JoJo's Bizarre Adventure homebrew RPG. It's like the only anime based RPG you wouldn't have to be a horrible creeper to play, because it'd basically just be "DnD where EVERYONE is a monk/DnD where EVERYONE is a monk who wears high fashion".

I'm still baffled that there was a Street Fighter RPG.

And that it include cat-women.

I think what gets me about this is her foot, and only her foot, has motion lines. Well her hand has motion lines too but in the opposite plane.

Her foot moved in a straight line at that man's face while her thigh and torso stayed planted. She's all double jointed I guess?

They mention specifically that there are like 3 or 4 different street fighter RPGs.

Not that the characters for street fighter are particularly deep or well rounded but aren't they the only reason anyone would want to have anything to do with street fighter? It's not like they inhabit a particularly lush world.

The last character is a tiger girl named "Girl Tiger". I don't think much thought went into any of it.

The entire Palladium catalog is a treasure trove of really awful editorial choices. I think my personal favorite example of crap book writing is Rifts: Manhunter. Conversely, I remember Rifts: Phase World being not super awful.

Anytime they do a Palladium game I feel like there should a contest to randomly generate some horror using the insane tables that Palladium relies on. Even figuring out what animal you'd be using the TMNT tables is a weird kind of fun (I think I was a mutant Hippo once, and then in the game I rolled a Pigeon!)

The players are knocked over by a downed ley line. The exposure to wild magic gives everyone an extra gland. Have each player roll percentile and consult the Glands Tables in DM's Guide III to determine the gland. If they roll 00 allow them to have the triple prostate in the Legendary Glands section.

I managed to get most of the orc ones (I can't tell if I've seen them all) in order, beginning with the burned down house, then going on to the battlefield full of dead orcs, then going on to the last orc ever, and finally to the last orc's ghost. I love how all the adventures hint at at least one other adventure to create some universe of supremely mundane adventures.

I really liked all the connected ones, particularly the ones about the giant toads. I also got a kick out of this one:

quote:

The party discovers a strange portal to a wondrous realm exactly like Star Wars with some names changed around. However, it is only after they pass through the cursed, one-way portal that they realize it is the prequel era and the only adventure they can have involves maneuvering in the galactic senate to gain the votes needed for trade sanctions.

Terrific installment. That old school art was 90% of the charm of those modules for me, unless block-text and tournament-style encounters possess a charm that escapes me.

I saw a photo of Erol Otus once, and was profoundly disappointed that he looked like a normal human being and not, I don't know, some kind of cave-dwelling monster. He certainly taps into something "off" and vaguely atavistic. I bet he's fun at parties.

edited to add: I'm disappointed the artists didn't go more nuts with Q1. Between the spiderweb bridge, the demons out the wazoo, and the bottom level with entire universes behind doorways, that module was deserving of its own pop-out art book (it didn't have one, right?). Otus could've made his masterpiece, presumably an underage-spider sexorium.
