If that's the case, then E. Honda's closer to his power than anyone else in Street Fighter.

Well, obviously. Didn't you ever see Street Fighter: The Later Years?

Contained in this game, among other things:

Centipedes as a fully-developed branch of magic!

...Go on?

It's not really that ambiguous though, there's only 15 levels of spells in Rifts (assuming I remember correctly), so if he knows 'all spells 1-15' that's pretty much all spells.

How could they not? Everybody loves Emperor Norton.

e: Now that I think about it, that would be a great premise for a historical drama/sitcom/dramedy. "Everybody Loves Norton", coming soon to NBC.

I want to run a Monsterhearts game set in the Monstergeddon universe. How do I make this happen? Dare I play the ultimate teen-angst genre RPG for laughs?

EDIT: How crap, just realized... you got the MonsterHearts version of The Hunger Games! Genius.

WHERE CAN WE SIGN UP

The big surprise out of this? No Vulpines. Where's an furry thing without foxes?

Canidae is also a family group as well as a genus - the red fox is Canis vulpes vulpes, for example.

I'd personally love to hear more about Beyond the Wall and Further Afield, but after that Katanas and Trenchcoats, because honestly.

I actually kinda like this, except for the ethnic poo poo. The human form resulting in the dog breed, I mean.

German Shepherds are a modern invention, thanks in part to Germans standardizing breeds to create a perfect working dog in the 1890s, so result of a eugenics campaign might kinda fit, although I'm sure that being bred to be a slave dog would appeal to Nazis. Also, Ireland is home to a whole bunch of dog breeds, so you'd think most Irish would end up being Irish Red & White Setters or Irish Lurchers.

You'd think that, but that's because you're putting WAY more thought into this than the authors did.

Yeah, but that'd require the vampires to be relatively rare. If there's, like, fifty vampires inside every old crypt, being able to do actual research goes out the window and it turns into more of a "lol the anti-vampire weapon you thought was the right one doesn't work! try again!"

If they're legitimately pretty rare, though, any given vampire will probably be a local legend that can be researched if the players give a gently caress. Though that can also lead to an entertaining situation where the vampire, not being loving dense, realizes that information about it is a weakness, and it's gone to great pains to destroy any mentions of its life, kill people it used to know, etc. and the players have to do their research from incomplete and intentionally damaged sources.

Which is a plot hook in and of itself.

"So you hear about this strange rash of disappearances and seemingly random acts of vandalism in this nearby village..."

Exceedingly broad archetypes would work fine for Rifts, since most classes already *DO* fall into fairly broad classifications; You have Skilled (Rogue Scientist, Cyberdoc), Augmented (Juicer, Cyborg), Magical (Ley Line Walker, Warlock), Psychic (Mind Melter, Psy-Knight), Vehicle Specialist (Glitter Boys, Giant Robots, etc), and Mutant/D-Bee (Dog Boys, Psi-Stalker). That some playbooks would have crossover can be solved with some Archetype-hybridizing moves.

I like that the Adamantine Monk is Zordon. That amuses me greatly.
