So I want to play a super hero RPG with my wife and son. Specifically, Tiny-D6 Supers.
When asked what super hero he wanted to be, he said, “Jedi Knight!” Far be it from me to say no to that.
Now, as proud as I am about that nerdy choice, I’m left with a problem. The blocking shots using a lightsaber.
But, I figured out long ago that there is an easy way to make any game have lightsaber blocking. A Jedi using the Force just means the lightsaber is used as cover. While everyone else ducks behind trees, rocks, pillars, and door jams, the Jedi can stand in the open, safe (mostly) behind their saber.
Most games have some sort of cover mechanic, so just use that. Interestingly, Tiny Supers doesn’t, but all the other Tiny D6 games do. Not a big deal. I just have to come up with 3 tiers of what that Precognition power.
Or maybe we should switch to Star Adventurer? That might be too much for a kid who can’t do math, even simple addition and subtraction.
