Alien Rope Burn posted:I'm not sure what sci-fi doesn't cover, honestly, outside of outright fantasy. It's a bit troublesome. I have some ideas but it's tough to think of something that might lead to interesting mechanics actually related to anime that isn't just... a sci-fi game. Well, Outlaw Star would be a great place to start. Sure, it has spaceships and going around the galaxy exploring and docking and meeting different species, but it HAS A NUDE WOMAN WORK AS A PART OF THE SHIP, AND SHIPS HAVE ARMS AND FIGHT EACH OTHER. So do Sci-Fi, but anime it up, I guess? The offer still stands to swap out a genre for the one not in the original list, if anyone feels like their selection is too vague and they want to try what's in the mystery box.

Awesome, I can totally work with this. Just got to look through Ryuutama again, watch me some Patlabor, lightly season with Fruits Basket and garnish with a dash of Natsume Yuujinchou... So for Slice of Life I can aim for a relaxed feeling instead of relying on the "school hijinks" segment of the genre right? Like take Patlabor for example. It's technically a Real Robot/Police series, but it's super low-key most of the time and focused on the daily lives of the characters. You'd be hard pressed to say it's not slice-of-life in spirit. And I mean...it's one of my favorite shows and I wanna put its influences in my silly anime RPG I completely understand if incorporating that kinda thing steps on other genres' toes too much.

You're always going to get genre overlaps with stuff like fantasy/sci-fi/slice of life, and almost always with the other genres as well, so it wouldn't make much sense to not let people do real robot slice of life or sci-fi isekai or fantasy police procedurals or whatever, IMO.

Yeah, my assumption is that there can be some degree of genre crossover as long as the focus is on our assigned genre. I know that, pending incompatible Modifier, my Giant Robot idea is going to be fantasy-flavored.

In all the editing of a pancake party trailer for a client, I totally missed your question! Thousand pardons, my friend. In what way can you shape the mechanics to encourage that feeling? I love the way PbtA games use their experience point questions to encourage and celebrate players embracing the tenants and feel of the genre they are going for. Slice of Life could be used in these other genres, but the relationship dynamic and interaction with the world as a whole (and how that affects the characters) would make your game your assigned genre rather than something else. Does that help?

TheSoundNinja posted:In all the editing of a pancake party trailer for a client, I totally missed your question! Thousand pardons, my friend. It does, yes. After doing some thinking I guess the core feeling you'd get out of Slice of Life is a kind of episodic-ness. Each part isn't dramatically connected to the next, doesn't shake the foundations of reality, etc. Instead they're more meandering, filled with loose ends and time to smell the roses. You know, like real life. And it all comes together into a sort of "status quo". If a show can get battles with criminal mecha-pilots or conflicts with ancient youkai to feel like just another day in the life, that is what I'd call an accomplishment. Incidentally, I'll def. have some mechanic for eating extended, lovingly-animated meals

Man, Shonen is delightfully broad, but entirely worth it. Already got ideas to make things fit the genre - in cases of broad things like this, we should be aiming to get the core "feel" if I understand correctly, so there's a lot of fun to mind.

Rangpur posted:A genre I'm actually familiar with, shockingly. Less certain on how to turn it into a tabletop RPG, but most sports already have clearly defined rules so it's a good starting point. Do I need to present a game that can be used to run any sport, or can I specialize? I would recommend specializing, as that will probably be easier for you. Perhaps a sport underrepresented by the anime industry?

Going by there being more than one show or one really popular show... Well that rules out Football (both kinds), cycling, basketball, baseball, table tennis, regular tennis, figure skating, competitive swimming, boxing, volleyball, martial arts, and probably at least one other sport I've overlooked. edit: Comedy option, just make up a sport, like Keijo!!!
