Stop looking at fantasy settings and its cultural dialogue through contemporary utilitarian lenses.

Your present reasoning and thoughts are a direct result of sociocultural narratives, they're not objectively reasonable or the apex of human thought.

Testing has shown that when humans read quickly the first and last letters, the length of the word and the remaining individual letters in a jumble is what is noticed and then context of the text is the used to identify the exact word used. This results in word pairs like Calvary/cavalry and rouge/rogue being "mentally" the same word.

Depends on the system.
If elves have a bonus to intelligence, spellcasting or any mechanics and natural affinity for it. Then yes, obviously. Even if they are the same level or age.
If he's an old elf, then obviously, since he's still alive and the human wizard is dead. And if he's not dead, then he's likely a liche, vampire or some other abomination.

If elves have all the aforementioned and humans are still better wizards, then you are an idiot-writer for breaking internal logic for some HFY-bullshit.

Make the ambush so unexpected or so weird, people go with it.
Last time I had a bandit ambush in a game, there was a dead man and a dead wolf on the road, apparently killing each other. When one of the players decided to check, the wolf spring out on him and the "dead" man fired a crossbow at one of our wagon's horses.
Was unexpected enough that everyone went with it, especially since it kinda fit into the campaign goal and sides of conflict in it to be ambushed by bandits like that.

They seem to be better balanced between their individual books but when you bring it from other books or especially from the DBee book.

This does not apply to the Ultimate Edition, ironically. Those OCCs are kind of the ones found everywhere, including space. They are not balanced with within themselves at all. Really, I would not call the ultimate edition at all. Its more like a very thick primer for people to join games.

The game is old-school and assumes the GM has a brain large enough to comprehend that certain upper and lower limits have to be set at the beginning of the game, tailored to the part of the world and power level the GM is expecting to run, not "Make any PC from any of the 100 books, I don't care lol".

I know there's Everyone Is John, is there anything like picrel? A lighter Fiasco-style game, mixed with Monster of the Week? (Ideally not PbtA please.)

>>97348405
>too much of a bitch to reply and make a real argument.
Fiasco is for telling stories where some big plan goes sideways. Monster of the Week is PBTA for Scooby-Doo capers, usually supernatural mysteries. Sluglaster is FITD (PBTA-adjacent) gonzo, 80s themed sci-fi about cool kids doing hoverboard tricks.

None of them emulate Scott Pilgrim.
>>
>>97349178
I give you points for not doubling down on your bitchiness and actually providing reasons this time.
You're underselling MotW as Scooby-Doo. It features serialized mysteries themed around investigating and taking down the titular monster of the week, but unlike with the mystery gang that shit is assumed to be real. It's not just Barry the janitor in an animatronic, there's legit supernatural stuff going on. Fuck, even the players can use magic. That's practically the same thing as a serialized sequence of urban fantasy mysteries/fights against seven deadly exes. I mean it's literally based off fucking BtVS, if you can't see the similarities there then I'm afraid I can't help you.

Likewise with Slugblasters, "cool kids do X supernatural shit while dealing with mundane life drama" is literally Scott Pilgrim.

You're bang on about fiasco not emulating SP. That's the only kudos I can give your retardation, however. Frankly I preferred thinking of you as malicious.
>>
>>97350001
MotW having actual supernatural shit does not make it a good fit for Scott Pilgrim. It's not "practically the same thing" just because there's some magic. It's also PBTA which OP specified he does not want.

Slugblaster, likewise, is a poor fit. It's all gadgets and robots and "HEY REMEMBER THE 80s/90s?!" but it's a FITD game, which means it's about staging heists and adventures and trying not to fuck everything up. The FITD component already disqualifies it again. It's just clocks and handwaving shit, like most FITD games are.

Scott Pilgrim isn't cool kids doing supernatural shit. It's painfully mundane outside of the fights, which was kind of the entire point. Scott can't fist fight his way into a healthy relationship and until he realizes that, he'll continue to be a fucking loser and an asshole. If you want big combat in between hyperbolic 20-something relationship drama, both are a bad fit.

PTA and PTU (which is based on PTA) are a total slog. You basically need tools, because there's so much fucking crunch. The powerscaling gets pretty insane too, since trainers can potentially learn how to use moves like Pokemon do.

You can play Pokerole instead, which is much less cumbersome, and takes inspiration from Storyteller system, but you might need to be ready to improvise and homebrew some things.
>>
>>97356918
pokerole is pretty promising, I'm not looking for a full package just a startpoint I can simplify further to introduce the concept of rpgs to 10-year-olds. PTA, PTU, Oddysee and PTR yeah they seem too complex for that.
