GOD RULES: Player's Guide (5e) Kickstarter Pre-Launch Page

That all sounds awesome! Putting mechanics to fiction is literally my favorite pass time in the hobby.

Well that was always the plan Micah!

Now in fairness there may be a few characters from fiction in the Divine Ranks 31-42 categories that I am not covering in this book primarily for space reasons but also because they are meta-characters that would be (unironically) more powerful than the Games Master themselves. But if pushed I think the system can stat those as well.

Dragonball was, at least once I gave it my full attention, extremely simple to map out the whole Verse in terms of power. I can easily see Marvel Comics, DC Comics, One Punch Man also being incredibly simple to map.

Other Verses I'll need to familiarize myself with first but I think once I outline the first few anyone with a decent knowledge of any Verse will be able to plot all the points for themselves.

One interesting Verse I am still on the fence about is Lovecraft's cosmic horror. I still think it makes sense putting the Outer Gods as 5d beings (essentially in the Far Realm). But I am sure some people will make the excuse they are 10d beings in the Outerverse...and while maybe they are, I think people are too quick to stick everything in the Outerverse at the first sign of a hyperbolic 'its beyond time and space' - which in my opinion means 5d or better.

Given that my dimensions are not necessarily spatial but rather states of consciousness (albeit the fourth is still thematically linked to time) something can have infinite spatial dimensions or beyond spatial dimensions and they still fit into the basic framework.

Sounds amazing! Not a huge fan of DragonBall myself, but looking forward to the other 'Verse's.

Was there any Verse in particular you were interested in?

I know a few others have mention One Piece and TT Gurenn Lagaan.

Evangelion is an interesting take on Arch Angels.

I like Chainsaw Man, very interesting Devil designs.

Solo Levelling certainly needs more investigation.

Some ideas off the top of my head for fun verses to stat out could be the Touhou Project, Getter Robo, Nine Star Hegemon Body Art, even Kirby might be fun as well, Sailor Moon, and possibly some of the Super Robot Wars originals, like the Valcazard, Dark Brain, Keisar Ephres, and the Granteed Dracodeus.

Quite the homework assignment you have given me there amigo! :ROFLMAO:

At least you have bestowed upon me enough Blog topics to keep the series* going a year or two.

*Wrote the first Blog article today (yes I know the website itself still isn't up, give me a few days) but its missing the Frieza update which is still in notebook format not the all-new super-fun God Rules stat block format.

Well, I'll always be able to provide more ideas/homework for you :P (besides, it's a lot less homework than what Honors Statistics demands of me weekly :P
Super excited to see that everything is all coming together, and I can't wait to see the blog!

I don't know much about Anime, to be honest, so a lot of the direct comparisons using it are going to fall flat for me.

But I'm just one person, and lots of folks here seem to be into it, so don't let me stop you.

Those are nearly all Anime too, right? Is the upcoming product Anime-focused?

I'm happy to hear suggestions from non-anime sources: RPG (Warhammer), novels (Xeelie etc.), movies (Edge of Tomorrow), Internet (SCP) or any source.

I don't see my book as Anime focused (more mythology focused), but certainly they need to be capable of handling Anime Verse's as much as any other.

Well, I do love Warhammer (Fantasy or 40K). Also a fan of Star Wars, Star Trek, comics (particularly Marvel), Babylon 5, the Legendarium of J.R.R. Tolkien, and the worlds of D&D, among other things (although the above have been very big for me most of my life at this point).
