Favorite anime-inspired games? Could be adapted from a specific anime or just based on the medium and its conventions.
>>96715497My friends and I played the hell outa Bubblegum Crisis, back in highschool. All I really remember is that we played it a ton and had lots of fun. So that, I guess. In fact seeing your Project Ako pic is what made me think of it. That, Tank Police, Bubblegum Crisis, Akira and Vampire Hunter D were prolly the sum-total of Anime we'd seen.
MAID.
Is there an equivalent of Toon by Steve Jackson Games for anime?
>>96715497I like Anime: Beyond Fantasy a lot.It's overpowered bullshit from start to finish to the point that it doesn't feel so much like it.
>>96718075MAID, unironically.
Huh, there was apparently a Sailor Moon TTRPG.You can tell it's from the 90s because they used the "Japanese anime" tautology
>>96718075>Warren SpektorWhat the fug
>>96721073Not even the weirdest thing he was a part of.
Open Versatile Anime
>>96715497One of the best ones out there!
right now, Heavy Gear.though its probably going to be Satasupe when it gets fully translated.
>>96716633>>96719679Based and MAIDpilled
>>96721231I will need a pdf of that.

>>96715497>>96715856>>96720761>>96721870All of these 90's anime RPGs were basically fanbooks that just had some sort of rules awkwardly crammed in amid all the lore. They're cool, but they were clearly made because some nerd wanted to gush about how much he loved anime and internet wasn't widespread enough yet for him to make a website instead. Mechanics were an afterthought.
>>96721935BESM was great for quick anime fun, Fuzion was just a poorman version of HERO.
There are some unofficial Dragon Ball TTRPGs.
Nechronica and Tenra Basho Zero. Unfortunately never got to play Shinobigami.>>96721231Aaaaah, perfect with Golden Sky Stories next to it.
>>96721528I'm still attached to my big booty Maid that's actually an angel ghost, doesn't know her past life, and is in training to be a proper bride. And has a revolver. And a lube bottle.Just making characters in that game is fun.
>>96720761My wife has that book, and the expansion for it. One of the first RPG characters I ever made was for this, since she was the one that introduced me to tabletop
>>96727601I can't help but be curious; what was your character?
>>96721143This system is alright. Pretty good even. It's "anime" in name only, however. You will have to provide the vibes yourself, but if your group can do that, it's a decent little system.
>>96727527Yeah making characters and playing them in MAID is simple and rewarding
>>96721536https://www.scribd.com/document/685822200/Zettai-Reido-Continued-Rules-Translationhttps://2d4chan.org/wiki/Zettai_Reidohttps://1d6chan.miraheze.org/wiki/Zettai_Reidomega (dot) nz/file/434l0CxZ#FP9x7KRp1OwPf0u48S-2GK-DfF-n8wJWmMY8i_IAlRYlook go down into the lengths and their it will be.
>>96727339Here's the thing. I think the idea of playing as a bunch of undead toys is interesting. The problem is that you're playing as a bunch of the life-size undead doll girls with the art style a little too close to made in abyss. (The vibes of a manga artist who's most likely done loli hentai)Which if you could sell it as undead 'engine hearts' haunted toy story it wouldn't make so many people squeamish if they're not already used to the hyper focus of Young beauty in Japan and other oriental countries. Now a mechanical problem that I've heard is how do I pick up a lead pipe/a baseball bat. If every single thing on your body is a part/weapon. How do I as a character of this game pick up an improvise weapon off the ground. If I can't act like Cain and disable somebody with a rock, there's problems with the game.
>>96721528why is she threatening the dwarf
>>96728395Over 20 years ago, haha, but I think I called him something cliche like "the Solar Knight". He was a Knight, the male-coded archetype for Tuxedo Mask / Moonlight Knight / Prince Endymion sort of characters. His powers involved light and healing, so he could dazzle enemies and restore energy to the Sailor Scouts (especially my wife's character). More of a support caster than a fighter.
>>96721935>some nerd wanted to gush about how much he loved animeThey were just like me!
>>96729679The little guy entered the mansion without ringing the bell. In contemporary parlance, one could say he is "cooked "
I wonder if there are any Record of Lodoss War TTRPGs that bring the adaptation cycle full circle.
>>96733275Isn't that what sword world is?
>>96733275Would have required a TSR licensed official module to make a properly ironic full circle. But a lost fan project based on the Palladium RPG full of pictures ripped from the OVAs and art books like that one Five Star Stories RPG would be acceptable.
>>96715497Demon City Shinjuku, but used it mostly for Wicked City/Urotsukidoji inspired sessions.
Also, pic related
>>96733771to be as close as possible, an OSE product would be the most accurate to do today. It was run using the Rules Cyclopedia.Questing Beast recently did a video on the Japanese version of the Rules Cyclopedia.
