Re: What is your favorite ability/weakness?

I like Attack best, pretty much for the same reason as Clay. My favourite Weakness? Easily Distracted, with the Caveat that you have to choose what you're easily distracted by (For example, Aurunox/Arisawa Hayato's is Girls.) I noticed that some example Characters in the book has that listed, but no...

Re: "Temporary" weapons

And another reason for the 3-4 moves is that most Anime, most hero(ine)es have a few distinctive, AKA signature attacks. Often they get to add to them, but it's rare that they use more than that.

Re: You may call him "Commander"

Oh! Before I forget I might as well ask this question. I have an idea for a character that is effectively a sentient computer that's effectively immobile in that it can only move from one terminal to another on a network, but is able to control an android "avatar" for more direct interact...

Re: Formatting a campaign as a cour

So, what you want is an overarching plot, with a bunch of mini-events, that lead up to the end point. Well, for each arc, and this may sound obvious so I apologize, but you need to have a specific goal, whether it's to defeat a certain villain, or discover a clue. And they all need to be tied to the...

Re: Formatting a campaign as a cour

I did plan to hash out character concepts well before chargen so I have a sense of who the characters were. I plan to do something of a cross between Boku no Hero Academia and Nanatsu no Taizai - characters you can find in the former, world like the latter. The setting an academy for Prodigals (tho...

Re: Formatting a campaign as a cour

Hmm.

First off, you need to know your players.

Secondly, have a back up plan or 3.

Other than that, what specifically are you asking for, what would the campaign be about? That might help the suggestions.

Re: The end of the year

My 'worst' was still a lot of fun: It was a one shot that one player played Karis, and I played an original character. It was short, that was it's biggest flaw. My best is the on-going game that we have with Auren and my time lost Dragon, Aurunox, AKA Arisawa Hayato. It's sort of a reverse magical g...

Re: I need a mechanic for a future Magical Grils campaign

...now I'm left wondering what a Magical Grills campaign would involve... Nothing unusual, really. Cute Girls bonding with their comrade, cute girls bonding by beating the shit out of their enemies, child labors and child soldier, horrible death, political intrigue and alien conspiracy. Also teenag...

Re: Specializations

I can live with this. If chars are well rounded, combat expert suffices and if there is one who ought to be unilaterally proficient, knowledge might be the addition I need. So to me it appears, the game can be scaled to my liking. If I want an easy approach less and diversified abilities seem to be...

Re: Specializations

All the Kenshin characters, except for Kenshin where he schooled what's his face barehanded. Lina Inverse and crew, all had one weapon. Vash only used guns, and typically used his revolver exclusively, and had an inhumanly high dodge skill. Ruin Explorers... Martian Successor Nadesico... Rayearth......

Re: Specializations

Knowledge replaces Hobby, which if I remember an old discussion with Clay, could be used to combat. It's been years, so you could be right. In the book, it does suggest to use Knowledge to specialize in a specific combat technique, rather than generally skilled in attacking. I'm just saying I would...
