Ominous Jazz posted:Card's Against Humanity works if you're the target audience, 15 years old and somehow couldn't sneak booze into your small party. You get to be racist and say naughty words only it's a game and you haven't developed the critical thinking necessary to think about why being "pretend racist" with cards is weird. the one time i played cah it was at a party where everyone but me and one other guy was a 20-something mormon so there was no drinking so this checks out

yeah i imagine alot of 'anime games' are still in that 90s mindset where marketing told all us kids that anime was a genre on its own so if you like one anime you'll like all anime so they try to make gundam and slayers and cardcaptor all playable in one system

Ratpick posted:Someone on tumblr posted a way back about using Strike! for Mass Effect. I have to admit that I'm not familiar with the series myself, but as far as I understand they're essentially sci-fi RPGs with some cover-based shooting, so it does not seem that far-fetched an idea. You could probably even hack the emotional attributes system in some way to make a Paragon/Renegade system. Maybe? I don't know. yeah the cover + positioning stuff of strike could actually be a real good fit for how mass effect 2 and 3 play is that emotional attributes system from a supplement? i don't remember it being in the core book

Ratpick posted:It's in the core book, but it's an optional rule. I think the example given was using it for a Sanity system, but one of the Kits (the moneybags kit) used it for Greed. okay yeah found it on page 73 i'm not sure you'd necessarily need it to be a continuum, you could maybe have paragon and renegade as two different skills? i remember in at least one of the MEs the two didn't cancel each other out and you could potentially have both maxed through new game+ the whole 'stop becoming a PC or lose the skill at 6' is a little extreme for paragon/renegade though. i'm actually getting kinda interested in running a mass effect strike game now, if anyone's got any other ideas of how to do paragon/renegade stuff(or if it's really even necessary) i'm all ears

depending on what you mean by 'lighter' marvel heroic roleplaying is great and is far more about genre emulation than calculating how many square pounds the hulk can lift (if you can put up with games that are discontinued + involve dicepools)

Nuns with Guns posted:Having gotten to look over the Nocturne book more, I have to say that I really dig the classes in there a lot too. One's kind of a mage class but mostly relies on building a battle construct to fight for them. One eats ghosts and uses powers derived from that to fight. And the last one is a Blade-style monster-hunter-who-is-also-sort-of-a-monster. I'd throw all of them in a pool alongside the Glorantha classes (when they come out) and the regular 13th age classes if I ran a game poo poo i completely forgot that even came out, how's the world fluff?

i mean yeah there is the video game origin aspect, it was just weird at first glance for a franchise for kids to have a fangame that's not more easily approachable but whatevs, it seems like it knows it's audience is gonna be mid-20s nerdos at least semi-into pen & paper stuff and i can't fault it for that

Alien Rope Burn posted:So much of D&D is "yeah, the book says that, but..." it hit me the other day when i was reading up on the new 5e book just being a bunch of old adventures refitted for 5e the similarities between the way d&d sells itself and internet fandoms sell themselves, it's so much about evoking community history and moods and cute little in-jokes or references and so little about the property itself so it kinda fits that so much of d&d is 'well in my headcanon necromancy isn't evil' and other begrudging semi-acknowledgments of the property's flaws
