So apparently there's a Neopets TTRPG in the works.Always liked Neopets, and I'm quite a fan of Neopia as a setting. Quite excited for this.What does /tg/ think?
>>97179769It's going to be furry central.
>>97179769Last I checked, it was built off of 5e, so I have no interest in it.
>>97179891>built off of 5eGrim, not even the furry art money is enough to break free of it's gravity
>>97179891According to the kickstarter page:>The Neopets TTRPG game system originally started as a D&D 5e system. We decided about a year and a half ago to ultimately make it its own system and have used 5e and Pathfinder as a basis for many of the core, tried and true mechanics of a dice-driven TTRPG system. A d20 is used to resolve many dice rolls, many checks refer to your specific stats, etc. A lot of it is going to feel very familiar to a D&D player. >That being said, some of the original rules were a little clunky, not streamlined to facilitate a more story-driven approach (or a wackier kind of world), or not quite befitting a Neopets-themed experience, so they've undergone some extensive modifications, reworks, and re-imaginings, and half the fun has been finding ways that marry the lore and worldbuilding of Neopia with actual game mechanics and metaphysical explanations for certain things. Ever wonder why Paintbrushes hum, or got a sneaking suspicion that Pet Rock is actually sentient? We've gotten to dive into some of those things.
>>97180240So is there going to be a mon collecting aspect, or just an RPG in the Neopets universe?>either way I don't think that an RPG whose only notable aspect is mining nostalgia can be successful based on that single thing
>>97180261pretty sure it's the latterneopia's lore is kind of awesome though, so i wouldn't say nostalgia is its "only notable aspect"
>>97179769>Neopets TTRPGOh, cool.>based on 5eI'm disappointed, but not surprised.
>>97180240I can't tell if they are trying to convince 5e players that they will be smart enough to learn how to play this game, or calm down 5e haters that this game isn't just 5e with a new coat of paint.
