If PrincessWuffles posts have piqued your interest in Marvel Heroic Roleplaying, you should act on that now. Today is the very last day you can buy the PDFs as the license expires tomorrow. The Premium versions of event supplements have the rulebook as their first half (don't know if that includes all the superhero datafiles from the standalone rulebook, though).

It really is a fun game. I used to be a FASERIP junkie and also loved the MURPG system, but if I were to start a Marvel campaign now, this would be my system of choice.

I've always thought this about those long-term space survival scenarios, especially since the new Battlestar Galactica was always keen on spacing folks (and especially after the reveal that the Cylons have evolved into essentially humans) despite the Twelve Colonies survivors having limited resources and a desperate situation. Suck out their water, throw them into the garbage compactor and recycle them as biomass for the agriculture pods, that's what I say. Who gives a poo poo what their origins are and if they're carrying possible bioweapons, the intense heat from thermal depolymerization can destroy even the hardiest prion and cause them to separate into their basic molecular forms.

It wouldn't be the first WGA game on these forums.

But for now let us change tracks to what will hopefully be considered a happier subject: as of this past Friday, the Meikyuu Kingdom core books have been completely translated. Don't know exactly by whom, though, since they posted it anonymously on 4chan's /tg/ board, but here's a more permanent link to the bare-bones PDF they put together for anyone who's interested. Problem as it pertains to this thread is whether or not I should continue with my write-up (which is still ongoing, yes, I've just been busy) or let you all just read the game itself there and skip ahead to Meikyuu Days.

EDIT: Super Special Awesome Audience Participation Time! I wanna show off just one of the many kicks to the nuts that this game gave to me. To simulate this, I want anybody in the thread who feels like it to throw out a character concept for me to make BEFORE I hit Character Creation. Nothing too complicated, just a few personality traits and talents with maybe what dorm they're in or a preferred type of magic for your little Harry Potter OC to swing about. Trust me, there's a good reason why I'm asking for this NOW.

A kender DMPC being trap bait at his best is perfectly in keeping with RPG writers making kender awful. I may sound like a heretic for saying this, but kender can be played in nonawful ways. I actually played a fair number of kender when I first got in to roleplay, and the only person I annoyed was the DM when I mocked his mary sues. The secret is to be Pippen Took instead of a You Testament NPC. I can't understand why so many RPG writers don't get this.

On a happier note, my copy of Double Cross came in today (well, technically yesterday) and I'll begin writing part 2 of my Dungeons: the Dragoning write-up soon. Soon meaning "When I can be pried away from DX" If anyon still wants to suggest Dungeons: the Dragoning characters, go nuts.

The funny part is, this would be really easy to do in some Rolemaster offshoots (like Anima). I wonder how much of a trap choice it is in the grandaddy game?

All the premade characters are references to poo poo from anime or other game lines. Some are just more obvious than others.

That's good to know. I bought it ages ago but haven't gotten around to properly reading it yet. At first glance, it seemed to me like one of those crunchy "unending lists of skills and abilities" games, which threw me off a little bit.

Though realizing the stats map perfectly to AW (cool = water, hard = metal, hot = fire, sharp = air, weird = earth) got my head spinning for a hack of that game... Without even having read Qin itself. Which just goes to show how much powered by the apocalypse has taken over the gaming side of the brain...

So clerics and Paladins draw power from inside the self, because the divine doesn't exist and they're all about self empowerment and improvement.

Yet druids exist completely unaltered.

The way teamwork feats work is you get a bonus if you fulfill a criteria with a person who also has the feat. The human racial trait just lets you act like your entire party has the feat, it doesn't actually give it to them.
