Yesssssss I've been waiting for this thread  I've been interested in Ryutama for a while, as it sounds like it would be great for one shots or laid back episodic gaming with a lot of in-party roleplaying. The lesser emphasis on combat and hard tactical crunch would leave a a lot of room for things to be, you know, fantasy-like too. Anybody who knows more feel free to taunt me with how awesome it is and how I'm never going to play it. Or tell me how wrong I am and how amazing it still is in entirely different ways, that is cool too. Pretty please?

Ewen Cluney posted:Giant Allege: A 28-page GM-less mini-RPG sold as a PDF (PDF games are exceedingly rare in Japan, and this is the ONLY GM-less Japanese RPG I've ever heard of) where you play lawyers who have giant robot battles on behalf of their clients.  I... I must learn more about this. If the style is anything like Phoenix Wright or Super Robot Wars then I might be in love.

Randalor posted:Has anyone heard anything about the Shin Megami Tensei tabletop RPG line? My friend was mentioning to me that he stumbled across scans of it awhile back, but the site he found them on was shut down, and we were wondering if it was any good/how it played. From what I've heard it is the game mechanics transcribed to paper. Think of a GameFAQs document detailing with tables the process of Demon Negotiation and you have a good idea of how it goes in a general sense. I cannot confirm or deny this, but it goes well with what Ewen caught wind of himself.

Traveller posted:So what about them Shin Megami Tensei games, huh? What the hell how does that even work  , would you play a knight of the court of King Frost? Would you be leading the armies of Lucifrost against the other alignments? I'm afraid of thinking about this any further and being disappointed later on when it turns out to be a joke alignment choice.

Everything people keep saying about TBZ makes it sound like it would be my favorite RPG ever, so there goes the rest of my nerdy budget this month.

It was about time someone stepped up to the plate, I had been thinking if TBZ would have been a viable starting point. Looks like it is!

I'm going to have to set aside a weekend or two to read this over, there is a lot of content. I'm surprised at how good it looks for a preview pdf with a disclaimer that it does not look good too.

MadRhetoric posted:Oh man, this game. I'm not sure how I feel about variable "hit" TNs in a dice pool system but gently caress me the general system seems fun as hell. It sounds like the elements build up to be one hell of an experience, even if some of the mechanical bits are iffy.

Tyndolionel posted:2) A character's Kiai can be used both for one-time success-chance-boosting, as well as character advancement and consumables. It is also a pretty easy thing to houserule out, even if it is annoying to have to do so, so if it turns out to be a problem it won't be one for more than one session or so.

"I'll just run it with FATE." is kind of the common conclusion people come to when a system has a lot of really nice ideas but no depth to its mechanics. Might as well go with the simpler system that doesn't pretend to have (much) depth in the first place. It is kind of why I don't think this trend of simpler, drama-based games will last for much longer. But I suppose that's not a discussion for this thread.
