For what I'm personally looking for: I want a, basically, modular cyberpunk RPG. If I want fantasy elements like Shadowrun, I can use the magic rules (or take them out if my setting doesn't do that), some rules for powered armor or moderately large monsters if I'm doing something like Appleseed...

Yeah - when Saga Edition came out I pretty much dumped all my SWD20 books and have never looked back. I do want to hunt down some of the SWD6 Second Edition books, since that was my first Star Wars RPG - though I never actually owned a copy of the rules, just a copy I repeatedly checked out...

I have the corebook, Q Branch, and Thrilling Locations sourcebooks - never got around to picking up the other adventures...

G1: Steading of the Hill Giant Chief - I did a blog post on this, and this is basically the tabletop RPG equivalent of a sandbox from the most recent Hitman game - you're dropped into this environment with an objective and all the tools in the adventure to accomplish that goal in a variety of...

It apparently did not take. I attempted to vote again, and it took this time.

I'm going with Schmendrick, Slayn, and the Queen Goddess of the Tsunderes, Rin Tohsaka.

Ehh - that also works for regular wizards as well - "I only have one 5th level spell slot, so I'm going memorize a spell that can cause the biggest explosions" (alternatively, "I'm going to memorize Fireball in the highest spell slot that I can.")

I remember Marvel killing the Marvel Diceless RPG because it wasn't selling as well as D&D 3rd Edition (which was pretty new at the time) - though that may have been smoke and mirrors to cover the project being killed because it was launched under Bill Jemas' regime.

100% for Lina Inverse, particularly with how she describes her magic as being basically a form of pact magic. This probably applies to Natsu as well, though he's probably a cross-class Sorcerer Monk, since as a shonen protagonist he does a lot of hand-to-hand combat. EDIT: Also, taking a cue...

I'm going to add Satou Kazuma from the anime KonoSuba here as well, as a thief recommendation. EDIT: Though I voted for Woodchuck, Bilbo, and Mouse

I just realized a really good anime pick for Paladin - Tilarna from last year's Cop Craft.

So - it hasn't been animated yet, it's just a manga but... Senshi from Delicious in Dungeon is totally a Ranger.

I thought about suggesting this in the earlier thread - but I wasn't sure how well Anime suggestions would have gone over but... Arturia Pendragon/Saber from Fate/Stay Night and Fate/Zero and Astolfo/Rider of Black from Fate/Apocrypha. (Bonus with that last one because they're Paladins in...

Wouldn't having Way of the Kensei be Kai from 47 Ronin better keep with the pattern? 😃

Would Once A Upon A Time In China Wong Fei Hung be an identical pick to Drunken Master Wong Fei Hung, or would those be two different picks?

Yep, the musicians were great, and just all the little shout-outs to other martial arts films (the harpists to Deadful Melody; Cooley, Donut, and Tailor were all from '70s and '60s martial arts films like 8 Diagram Pole Fighter (literally for Donut - the actor who played him was also the lead in...

No mention of Huang Xuemei from Deadful Melody?

I haven't used a clock, but where necessary I will use a timeline.

Probably 25-30 something.

I generally rule that player intent matters - that if players are dealing non-lethal damage, they are deliberately attempting to pull their punches to knock opponents out. And if they roll a crit and deal enough damage to KO, then the crit signifies that they knew to deal exactly enough damage...
