BinaryDoubts posted:I'd love to read an interview with the designer(s) of Double Cross, since they seem to be one of the very few teams putting out mechanically-complex RPGs who actually understand their own system. Seems like the book doesn't always do a great job of explaining how it's supposed to fit together, but this is the first crunchy RPG I've been interested in in ages. The company responsible for making DX also did a whole bunch of other games using roughly the same engine, from what I'm given to understand.

I wanna be in a Myriad Song game where the PCs are a Macross 7-esque band so badly.

Night10194 posted:Also, one other thing I'd like to see in a Myriad Song 2e if one gets made: I would legit like a 'suggested media' section, particularly for music. The music theme is really cool in theory but there isn't a lot done with it and I'd love a little instruction/inspiration for that kind of thing. It might not be a direct reference, but Ar tonelico is a series about magic science music and a lot of the longer invocations (i.e. the plot ones instead of the battle ones) are actually sung as background music and it's *definitely* what I thought of when I heard about magic science music.

The best version of the soulknife is Pathfinder's Psychic Armory because it's all about forming swords with your mind and shooting them at people. I am extremely easily pleased.

I remember Rokugan 2000 being a thing in one of the 4e books (along with Rokugan IN SPACE!!! which always seemed sort of silly to me).

Night10194 posted:When I was running it I had to drop a player recruited from outside my normal group after he asked me why I wasn't making the women on the team fall in love with his male PC as GM. That was that. Yeah I decided that I was going to play the Shinji in my game and rolled a boy band musician who joined up with the war effort 'cause propaganda. What I got was a bunch of other characters who literally spent the first night fighting over who got to sleep with him (without his consent or input). At one point he was actually kidnapped by another character. I decided I didn't want to be part of that group any longer.

Nessus posted:I want someone to come up with an RPG that can do, like, Gundam or Banpresto OGs, to say nothing of super-robot stuff. About the only novel element of Cthulhupunk was its efforts to also rip off Macross along with the inevitable Deadhorsiel, Sixty-ninth Angel of Expressing Anger At The Protagonist Not Performing Masculinity. There's Battle Century G, and I've been in games of LANCER that went the Super Robot Wars route.

I might give it a shot when the system stabilizes a bit more, but I'm not super great at evaluating balance beyond the *obvious* things that are broken (RIP the glory days of guncube) and LANCER has a lot of moving parts that can be configured pretty freely.

I am glad that Seppun Astrologer is still good and fun; it was one of my favorite 4e things. I also appreciate playable kitsune because I'm a loving weeb. The explanation for why they have to bushido is neat, too. e: and wrt AdEva, I knew a guy who I think worked on the dev team? If not, he was pretty close to them. Either way, this dude would randomly show up on irc with screeds about how darkness and hopelessness in storylines was good, actually, and games where people were having fun instead of suffering until they e: actually finished a sentence Leraika fucked around with this message at 20:53 on Mar 14, 2019 |

You kind of have to see that one to believe it. oh god I've played this, it was kind of a disaster 'hey we should staple R&K to this system' was something said by no good developer ever e: also iirc it had really creepy catgirls in one expansion book (it had expansion books)

For some reason the fact that they're leaning into the 'all cats are amoral assholes' stereotype bothers me more than the animal stereotyping they did earlier. Maybe because it makes a race that seems like it'd be pretty awful for everyone at the table if played to the letter.
