This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Looks like Posthuman Studios is jumping on the same bandwagon as Green Ronin

Quote from: Nexus;960521I might be interested in a Magical Girl game too but I'd prefer a more "traditional" one. Sailor Nothing was an an interesting read but I don't think I'd want to game it and I've never been fond of Deconstructions overall. Too often their less thoughtful examinations of the assumptions and workings of a genre and more rip apart the genre and add some grimdark to make it more "mature".

BESM is good for that, or keep an eye out (in used shops/ebay) for the "Sailor Moon Roleplaying Game", which is basically BESM with more support for Sailor Moon and the like.  The Big book of Youma, for the same game, is a book of various monsters you can easily reskin for a magical monster of the week game.

Quote from: Brand55;960491Don't feel too bad for Anna Kreider. Her latest "Men Really Suck" game nearly attracted 900 backers on Kickstarter.

Yeah, but that's only because she has a co-writer who confers 'legitimizing maleness'.

Quote from: jcfiala;960515Don't you have an undelivered kickstarter you haven't updated in over three years?  Yes, you do.  Maybe you should look into that.

Fair enough. This sword has been hanging over all of us long enough.

Heh, this needs it's own thread. Yeah, I'm not a fan of grimdark for the sake of grimdark but it does have it's place, which is often not in an RPG. If I were to run a darker Magical Girl game, the first thing I would do is toss out the anime tropes, then since the fashion sense is Lolita/Gothic I'd probably just set it on some variation of Gothic Earth from the Ravenloft Masque of the Red Death setting, with some of the Dread Domains shoehorned in because those postage stamp countries fit pretty much anywhere. Likely I'd use 5e and hack a Magical Girl Class from the Warlock. The last system I used for Magical Girl was Mutants and Masterminds 3e.

Quote from: Brand55;960524BESM would probably work well for you. I've also heard good things about OVA but I've never looked too deeply into it. I'm the only one who likes anime in my circle of friends, and even for me it's not something I know too much about so I've never had much reason to take too hard a look at anime rpgs.

OVA is fantastic. I highly recommend it if you enjoy anime. It's a gem of a game.

Is this in reference to Kreider or Anon?

Kreider is unbelievable, she shit all over Kiel Chenier of all people for daring to question her.  She claimed to be more oppressed than actual gay people immediately after the Orlando shooting. Her egoism is stunning. She went further than Zak ever did and has suffered absolutely zero blowback.

Quote from: Anon Adderlan;960476Second, prove it. Because this thread has been pretty interesting so far, with multiple people engaging, an interesting tangent on religion, and no one correcting spelling or grammar.

You missed that part?

Quote from: Voros;960625Is this in reference to Kreider or Anon?

Me.

My only excuse for the lack of updates is being paralyzed with paranoia over making sure the right tone was conveyed, as I've been banned from rpg.net, storygames.com, and dndwithpornstars.blogspot.com for reasons I still can't figure out, and god forbid someone thinks my criticism of Chinese manufacturers is somehow racist or that I'm angry at my backers.  But after taking a course in management, consulting with multiple PR folks, and seeing just what a bizzaroland the internet has become, I don't think it matters.

As for delivery, that I'll address in the update.

Quote from: Krimson;960514It's mostly because Puella Magi Madoka Magica was very popular, as well as being a deconstruction of the genre.
I loved that series! The first and only 'Magical Girl' show I've watched.
I can definitely see the appeal of a game based on its concepts... even if I'm not all that interested in playing a young girl PC. It kinda sits on the same shelf as my love of Kult and Call of Cthulhu.
