*comes racing into the thread, gasping for breath due to the effort of clicking on the forum post* Did someone say ANIME? But seriously, I could use a project to distract me from the piss-reeking hellscape that is real life so I'm down for this. Is it still open?

Mr. Fowl posted:Chihayafuru is also totally a sports anime, but you know, with a card game based around classical poetry. It's got friendship and poo poo all up in it like a sports anime should.

I think I'm better equipped on the anime side of things than the tradgame side, to be honest. I imagine anything I make will have a strong influence from Tenra Bansho, Double Edge and Gold Sky Stories.

Huh. That actually requires very little in the way of changes to my setting. Though ironically, declaring it a sequel does retroactively make it sound much less inspired than it already was.

 It is the year 2017 of the Pilgrim Era (PE). Soaring through the cosmos in a sub-light Dyson sphere, the would-be colonists of the HMS Hemingway have long forgotten the world they left behind. Yet one cultural artifact remains beloved by all: Jai-alai, the fastest sport in the world! Rebound! Alter:F is a game about the passions of the players & supporters who bear their dreams onto the court. Choose your destiny! Is it a heated clash with your rival, or escaping the shadow of underground gambling? A tale of surpassing your parents doubts, or the agony and the ecstasy of forging a team of misfits into champions? With roles for players, coaches, friends, and even aliens, multiple campaign styles are possible. All roads converge at the stadium. So strap on your 'xistera!' Step into the 0-G 'cancha!' A dream of fiery youth begins here! ++++++++ Mystic Mongol posted:OH WELL, guess I'll follow Rangpur around and give him helpful suggestions about how his RPG needs to involve booster packs of CCG cards! edit: I liked the idea of going for underrepresented sports, so for the record, there are zero manga about Jai-alai (that I was able to dig up, at least). I did locate a single series about Curling, but they didn't talk much about the sport in any of the three chapters that were translated. TBH it mostly seemed like an excuse to draw fanservice, soooo... It was either going to be Jai-alai or water polo, basically.

Also: fairly straightforward to play, once you get past the specialized equipment, and of course, the risk of death. (Hardest ball in the world, and it travels like 300 km/hr. It's why they make the back wall out of granite.) Mind you, I don't know how well I actually be able to represent it but it's well suited to level of abstraction you need to make it a pen-and-paper game, I think.
