think there was once a topic on this but I can't find it so I guess I'll make one again?You know how some games purport to be "anime" RPGs, where like they try to figure what are the essential thematic/aesthetic elements of anime and transplant that onto a generic system?What if someone did that with American YA books? Like anime, it's a popular "super genre" of sorts that's really more of a medium but nevertheless has recognizable formulas etc. so maybe it could wokr? They're really popular right now
>They're really popular right nowThey were really popular maybe 10 years ago.Anyway, 5th edition of World of Darkness (Vampire, Werewolf, Hunter) seems to be aiming for that vibe.
>>97323529It's different genres that are popular. Nowadays it's all about the fantasy romances (as in romances set in fantasy worlds, not modern world with fantasy elements which was popular in the 2010's).
>>97323504Thats basically all rules-lite games if we're being honest
>>97323504Only 3 or 4 of these books have enough setting content to run a game in
>>97323504Why don't you do that, if you're interested? Why do you need anyone else's permission to make the game you want? Why does it matter if this, that, or the other thing is popular or has a "recognizable formula"?
>>97323504Anime RPGS are shit and this is unlikely to be better.
>>97323529Vampire moreso than others, as usual
>>97323504No one under 30 is playing tabletop games.
