Dragon Ball RPG got like five books, but the Wheel of Time RPG got two, so Goku loses because there's more poo poo for the lovely DBZ game than for the lovely WoT game.

Also in serious news I’m pretty sure I’m going to be ready to put up a recruitment post for the very first English playtest of Lost. I just need to finish translating the combat mechanics and it will be in a playable state (though all the DM stuff is in Japanese so it won’t quite be runnable yet without a Japanese reading DM).

Rand could possibly use mental interference to make Goku dizzy enough to get a Balefire to the face... Even so I'd give it 4:1 Goku.

Funny, the last DBZ thing I watched was a movie where Goku loses. Maybe there's more than one? I haven't watched much DBZ. He lost in this one, anyway.

I keep getting the urge to run DC Adventures because I've been reading a lot of DC Comics. Can people please remind me how shity the game is so that I don't do that? Ironically, I am running a Marvel Heroic roleplaying game in the DC Universe using the pre-made Adventure "suffer the children." Yet still the urge persists.

DC Adventures is just straight up Mutants and Masterminds 3E with all the inherent flaws thereof including, "Is published by Green Ronin" since I don't think they've ever actually apologized or anything for the lovely way they reacted to the harassment charges against CA Suleiman.

Moriatti posted:MHR is probably the best Superhero game? What would the DC game offer you that you aren't getting from MHR? Frankly, I think some of it is that Marvel Heroic roleplaying does have the issue where combat can start to feel very same-y. I've run 3 Adventures in the system and the dc one is the 4th. We have been running for about a year now. We first did Breakout from the core book and that took a month. Then we did the Council of four pre-made Adventure that's all about going across the Multiverse to Stop & evil Fantastic Four from deleting everything to make the perfect universe. Then we did an adventure that I made that was about Doctor Doom and Norman Osborn teaming up to frame Spider-Man and the Fantastic Four for a theft to use the technology to build the Cosmic Cube to rewrite the universe and make themselves gods. That actually ended with doom dying because he lost control of the Cosmic Cube. Now we're doing the suffer the little children adventure for the DC Universe. I think we are on either a year or year-and-a-half of play. After a while, combat does start to feel very similar. Even when we started getting people to use assets and complications more, it does start to feel like the same thing over and over. It is very free form and it does allow for a lot of things, but it still has some issues. Also, it really lacks support for non-combat Stuff. Like, it's hard to get more than 2 to 3 dice for mental or social actions because of how the data files are set up. If your powers don't cover anything mental or social, then you will have trouble doing them unless the Doom pool has been depleted in a big fight. Also, putting dice together constantly does get a little tedious. While we have reached the point where every dice roll only takes about 15 to 30 seconds since we're that good at just putting them together, it's just a little tedious after a while. Also, making events for MHR feels like work. Like, more so than other system. I don't know why, but I don't feel like I can "wing-it" like I can in other systems and I really feel like I'm forced to plan and it just makes things harder and that's why I run mostly pre-made adventures. I seriously don't know why, but something about it just makes that feel needed. Also, it feel like it has to be big. Like, I can just do a small story. Or it feels that way. It always feels like a civil war thing and not ,say, the Sinster Six comes to fight for a bit or something. Lastly, some of it has to do with my players. I like playing with them, but they never embraced some of the elements that makes Marvel Heroic roleplaying better than some of alternatives. Outside of Jordan and one guy who left, they always want to play original characters which came with the problem of them caring a lot about them and not wanting to switch around. It kind of hurts the benefit and mindset of the game where you're supposed to use your characters like rental cars that you just jump from as needed. Oddly enough, and maybe it's because I asked but I did also asked in the beginning and no one wanted to do it with the Marvel stuff, but everyone was quick to pick a character from DC's Library during the latest Adventure. Not sure why that is. This one is less important, but I am much more enjoying running DC stuff. I have no idea why. Sure, I have been reading the DC Comics more lately because rebirth was really good, but somehow I just seem to understand that Universe better. With Marvel, I kept getting confused. With DC, I can always get a good guess about what of villains going to be like and know how to do their personality. Maybe it's because of all the animated cartoons I watched when I was a kid. That said, I still love how balanced everything is. There's literally no other superhero game that is this balanced. The fact that I can have a party with any composition and no one outshines anyone is great. That's why I don't want to switch to another system even though I have the urge to. Because if I do DC Adventure, because it's just mutants and masterminds, all the balance goes out the window and I can't have the anyone with anyone stuff. Though, I have looked a bit at icons which actually looks pretty good as a fate Style game, wearing the cape which is a bit too complicated but still light and balanced, and the new Sentinels RPG which feels like a mix of Marvel Heroic roleplaying, fate, and powered by the Apocalypse.

I pirated the game years ago. So, that's already kind of gone. They never got a dime out of me, except when I bought some stuff from them because they were being really pro-lgbt. Oh the irony.

DC has a balancing issue where if you aren't at PL on attack/defense/damage/toughness score anybody who is has a severe advantage over you because of the way the math works out. It's a simple fix (just make it so everybody has their saves and attacks at PL) but it's frustrating that this is stated literally nowhere in the book. It's a 5% difference per point and that adds up quickly, especially when having your numbers at PL is only a 50% chance. The charts in the back of the book kind of spell this out, but not in a very intuitive way. It annoys me.

Yeah, if your problem is combat not being varied enough I can see MHRP not working super great. Though I'm not sure why you're not running it in the DC universe? Strike is my go to for combat stuff but it's not great for out of combat.

Moriatti posted:Yeah, if your problem is combat not being varied enough I can see MHRP not working super great. Though I'm not sure why you're not running it in the DC universe? I am running it in the DC Universe now. That's what Suffer the Children. It's a pretty cool adventure, actually. You can find it here. I still find it weird, though, that's in the New 52 continuity solely because the New 52 just launched when he wrote it...despite him spending a page making GBS threads all over the New 52 as garbage. I really love the idea of missions. It makes it feel like an ongoing series and not just a big event. Like, the overarching plot in the background you normally see in comics that develops over a bunch of other, minor plots. Really should be standard in MHR adventures. But, yeah, it also comes down to the fact that there isn't a lot premade for MHR in DCU and, well, I feel like making Events for MHR is more work, for some reason. Other games I feel like I can wing it, but, with MHR, I feel like I got to preplan and I got to really put effort in and make it somewhat big to justify it being an Event. It's a weird psychology thing that makes me feel that every Event has to be Civil War Tier. Or atleast a 5 part comic storyline like Breakout. Not sure why. Also, Strike! isn't supers though and I was super-bored when my 13th Age group switched to 4e D&D. Like, I always forgot my abilities because I never played before and we ported over so I started at level 11 so everything became confusing and the wait between turns was so long that I started reading books.

There's a paid quickstart up for the Sentinels of the Multiverse RPG on Drivethrough, which is sort of "Cam Banks takes lessoned learned in MHR and tries a similar game with a different license." Apparently there's a kickstarter on the way for the full game at some point soon.

I bought that, actually. Brought it up earlier. It looked interesting. I feel it's a mix of MHR, 13th Age, FATE Core, and Pbta. It has a MHR dicepool system with dies equaling powers and SFX...but you always roll 3 dice: 1 from Powers, 1 from Qualities, and 1 from Status. Your status gets bigger the more damage you take, like a 13th Age escalation die. You also unlock more SFXs the lower your status is. Even if you never get hurt, if the environment gets hurt, it can make everyone count for SFX and Status Dice as if you were at that level of status. Status goes Green, Yellow, Red, Out of Play, btw. You got boxes, though, so it isn't 4 hp, IIRC. It's certainly interesting and gets around a big problem with MHR where people would have widely varying dice pools sides and would never be able to get any dice for non-combat things. It has FATE's actions. 6 instead of 4, but boost/hinder is literally the same thing so really just 5 actions. The 5th action is recovery, by the way. They may call them differently, but you got Attack, Defend, Create Adventure (Boost/Hinder) and Recovery. It has PBTA's system for resolution. Every action has a series of results that can happen. It's essentially like a basic move in Pbta. This includes things like partial successes where you can get minor and major twists on top of success/failure. Lastly, you always roll 3 dice. Thus, you have a low result, a mid result, and a max result. You always take the mid result by default, which is interesting and like 13th Age derived stats. Some SFX let you use max result for certain things. They also can be used for other things. The example play used the low result to be damage taken from a major twist. It's all really cool, even if the license is poo-poo dog poo poo yucksville. Covok fucked around with this message at 23:17 on Dec 10, 2017 |

It's a weird psychology thing that makes me feel that every Event has to be Civil War Tier. Or atleast a 5 part comic storyline like Breakout. Not sure why. Fair on the extra planning part, I can relate to that. I usually just do some faction milestones and/or rewards and run the setting By default it isn't, though it can model supers reasonably well? It's power card combat but it is lighter than 4e so turns are much quicker but if grid combat isn't your jam then IDK if it has much to offer.
