Thanks guys.
I have run two sessions(the first one was a simple session to acclimate them to the system) like that. I have to say that my players didn't appreciate the strict formula.

So, for now, how I think it would work. For the coming-of-age story theme : I just have to hint that the PCs should be nicer to the NPCs, that will lessen the difficulty to craft the thing. Being nice/making the NPCs happy will also add some dice to the pool. For the power of friendship themes : The...

Your characters sound a bit like a sort of deconstruction of the genre. Maybe check out Puella Magi Madoka Magica series, or the trilogy movies, as possible ideas on how run your story. Does it sound like a deconstruction ? You might want to look at the Ability Passion. It's a bit of a funky Abilit...

your players are basically murder hobos Well, not all a them are murder hobo, the teacher is inspired my Mozart, so we tried to stay as close as possible to the character. The Whistle-blower is just playing as herself. The delinquent is the one who drags everyone into the path of murder hoboism, bu...

Hello, So this post is about one half asking about generals gamemastering advice, one half about trying to explain some house rules I may be using. I am planning since several months a Magical Girl campaign. I more or less looked up at the themes of a typical magical girl show (thanks TvTropes), I m...

1) How much would it be for a player to add these Classes to their PCs? I didn't give a cost for adding a class. The player pick one (and only one) class and write it somewhere on the sheet. It is a rule (well, a broken rule) that encourage the player to act within the tropes her/his characters emb...

Hello, /me is talking about his life. It have been a long time. Since then, I have tried various system for my dream Magical Girl Campaign. I tried various generic systems (Savage Worlds, Fate, Cortex Plus...) and tried to make a sloppy homebrew PbtA game composed of several other PbtA games(Magical...

I got question for you.
You seem to make a game of epic scope. Did you mod the game ? By modding,, I can mean something simple as creating new abilities/weakness or did you change how the difficulty ladder ?
Did you forbid some abilities/weakness because it wouldn't fit the mood of your campaign?

Actually, how do Charms work in Exalted. From what I understand, it's what make the Exalted awesome.
In my mind it's like a stunt in FATE Core/FAE. A stunt of FATE converted into OVA can be done by adding the accurate perk with the requirement flaw to an ability.
Am I right?

I have to second you. OVA is fun. I enjoy throwing a truck load of dice. The background of the PCs are kind of part of the character sheet. The story is integrated into the stats. Well not as much as FATE but this is why I (unsuccessfuly) put aspect into OVA. But it work well as it is, even if it is...

Isn't it a saying that sat : "great artists steal"?
Instead of Trying to look different from exalted, try tout embrase the similarities.

By "theme" I think I mean "power". As example of weird power that can be abused the compression mentioned earlier, manipulation of rhythms or the abilities to write on any support. Simpler themes can be manipulation of fire (be a lighter at low level of the creation of a star at ...

I think I got something. I will have the player write down the "theme" of their characters somewhere and pick abilities according to that. If they want to use their power for something they don't have on their sheet, they will have to spend a resource that I have yet to name. A normal char...

You tried to use Fate as a system for a JJBA game? How it is? Apart from the issue you bough up.
I am interested.

Stands are the Standard power of the characters of JoJo's bizarre Adventure front part 3 onward. Their power are pretty absurd sometime. I will list the eight JoJo and their Stands. Jotaro, the JoJo of part 3, is the most boring of the bunch. Star Platinium, a purple muscle man who is ultra fast, re...
