RE: New Idea - The Pokémon TTRPG!

in #pokemon7 years ago

There's always my favorite supplement for Big Eyes, Small Mouth 1st Edition (the superior edition), Cute and Fuzzy Cockfighting Seizure Monsters.

No, I'm not kidding. It's a really solid piece of work.

Maybe not quite as good as Big Robots, Cool Starships, but up there.

Sort:  

I've seen the BESM book but haven't delved into it.
The supplements look very interesting, though.

In the spirit of complete revelation, I must admit that I actually have a co-author's credit on one of the 2nd edition books. (Hearts Swords Flowers. It's good; you should pick it up. One day I might even get paid by the publisher for my work. [I'm not holding my breath.])

The reason that I suggest that you should pay more attention to first edition than second is that the latter really took the "generic RPG core mechanics book" a little too traditionally, so instead of being just a slim pamphlet of core mechanics and very focused ideas, it wanted to turn into Hero or GURPS – along with being a several hundred page nightmare which tried to provide individual mechanics for everything under the sun. That didn't turn out to be a really competitive product, in the end.

Which was sort of a shame. I was looking forward to writing more stuff for them.
