Tell me about weird niche properties that got a tabletop RPG adaption, fan made or official.

I found this from 1980 and through it was weird and interesting. Dallas, the "TV RPG". Who one-shot JR?
https://www.spigames.net/PDFv2/Dallas.pdf

It's a bit of RPG history from the wild west RPG boom, when people were making up new sets of rules, when games came in boxes with punch out cards and chits because it still wasn't quite split off from wargames and board games.

Tell me, anon. When did /yourthing/ get a game? You liked Angel and played the tri-stat game? Babylon 5 d20 RPG? You played every single pokemon tabletop RPG and compared them all in a detailed journal?

Show me the weird RPGs that didn't begin life as RPGs.

He did not. Malcador is the one who convinced him he had to be an Emperor because Malcador didn't think humans could go without structures and leaders, it's why Malcador also created the Inquisition and shit to constrain the Imperium. The Emperor would have been perfectly happy going back to being a science nerd doing NEET shit in his Himalaya mountain basement ASAP. In fact, that's pretty much what he did when he noped out of the Crusade after Ullanor and all signs were that he was much happier leaving running the Imperium to other people.

All this could be accompanied by some sort of war campaign that WE started. There are certain ways to go, maybe some alternative version of a black crusade or maybe some "Skull Harvest" ruining many worlds for the Imperium that needs to be stopped in long term.

It's like: An angry dog is a threat you know to manage. But now imagine it is not only bloodthirsty but also intelligent in a cruel way, allowing it to open the fence you hide behind.

The only real downside is that bikes can't claim or contest objectives. But they're very solid mobile shooting platforms.
Outriders are stacked with special rules and can basically shoot twice each turn, and jetbikes are like HSS but way faster. And the bike command squads from the legacies rules are very scary, even more so with WS. Buff them with a stormseer and they can get a guaranteed charge turn 1 even inside the enemy deployment zone. Just gotta make sure there's a tactical squad to follow behind and stand on the objective that the bikes cleared.

Running around without a helmet doesn't mean you are retarded. It means that you are the protagonist.
A good number of blades could have a shape like this, including the falchion, the chinese dao or dadao. Of course, married to a European hilt design in this case.
Lots of artistic like to give elves asiatic looking swords

Interestingly, I once posted this in March. The biblical passage does mention both a fountain of life and fire, but it never occurred to me that the Living Water and Flame Eternal, the secret societies at the core of the conflict of Queen Callidice's story, had anything to do with this one particular passage specifically. I was looking to evoke generic cross-cultural religious imagery as fire and water have a role in multiple traditions.
It almost feels like she was such a genius she made a fool even of me, her creator.

"Her Highness Queen Callidice memorized several passages from Earth's literary classics. Among her favorites is the beginning of chapter 21 of the Book of Revelation.

1 And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea.

2 And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.

3 And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying: "Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them, and be their God.

4 And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away."

5 And he that sat upon the throne said: "Behold, I make all things new." And he said unto me: "Write: for these words are true and faithful."

To elaborate, it may look a lot like a schizo rambling but bear with me:

1. The age of space exploration.
New Heaven = new solar system.
New Earth = new inhabited planets.
Passed away = the humans of Ecumene had left Earth and the Solar System.

2. I John = your average survivor of the War for Ecumene.
New Jerusalem = #TRANSCENDENCE
Bride adorned for her husband = Naisha Savanh, President of Ecumene was the legitimate authority, sought peace and reconciliation with Callidice's separatists, and is effectively the woman that sold the universe

3 This whole verse is Ultima Ratio Kayavajra, the cyborg made of 6 AIs modeled after Callidice and 6 cloned brains from her neurons, calling humans to take refuge in her:

What's your personal theory on the origins of the Ethereals? A pet project from the Eldar? An implement of the Necrons to bring about a suitable host species? Or did the Goddess T'au'va herself create them so that the Tau would grow into a mighty empire and she would be born in the future?

Lol, well...
For instance, Tau already have certain traits, as their tech was reverse-engineered and scavenged from Imperial.
They'll be the Farsight enclaves basically, who were influenced by the orks. Except global expansionists, braver and less agreeable. Also actual warp tech and speedy transport.
The joke of making Grots out of blue cows went out of control.

Necrons would probably be the same actually. Since it will also be a joke, because necrons need no help.

I don't think Dark Eldar would even go for something like this. Too boring.

>Cyberpunk 2020 vs. Cyberpunk RED?
Cyberpunk 2020 is the second edition of the Cyberpunk TTRPG that focuses on simulation gameplay and has a black trenchcoat aesthetic.

Cyberpunk RED is the fourth edition of the Cyberpunk TTRPG that is set after Cyberpunk 2020 following the Fourth Corporate War, focuses on more balanced gameplay and is more streamlined but has less content.

I think cyberpunk is the only universal setting for crime, the same way sword and sorcery is the only universal setting for tomb raiding. Crime in most settings is a means to an end, or an unfortunate secondary consequence of pursuing a primary goal, or it is just because the players are by their very nature sociopathic. In cyberpunk games you aren't breaking the law because it's a barrier between you and your goals, you are breaking the law because breaking the law is your lifestyle.

Whether you're on the street or in the highrises your career is "criminal". You kill, steal, lie, and cheat your way to money, power, and fame. You might follow the law occasionally because it serves your purposes, but in the end you are going to get paid by breaking all the rules. And because this is the standard mode of play, that means other social currencies are in effect. Your street cred, your professional rep, your CV, your looks. Any game can have you break into an office to steal a document, in cyberpunk you steal the document because you're a forger and known quantity as a second story guy in the community.

As a result there's always something new to do. A new heist, a new gadget, a new complication, and generally the divide between rich and poor makes it so you can face off against a wide array of colourful antagonists. Your campaigns range from street trash to gangsters to mercenaries to corporate killsquads, on Monday you are escorting a rich guy to the club, on Thursday you're doing battle with an IFV. You think the biker knights posergang fit into Traveller? You think the stolen bioweapon fits DND? NO! Only in Cyberpunk! ONLY in Cyberpunk! Order now!

Fuzion is such a small fish it might not exist any longer, not as standalone material. I do not know, did my rounds to get an oversight, and there was a complete absence. It might be cannibalised by things like Mekton, so if you want Fuzion content you look at its spawn. Wikipedia has a list of systems using Fuzion and that is probably your best bet.
