This week, they revealed the d20-based Essence20 game system which will power those games.[ATTACH=full]142854[/ATTACH][URL unfurl="true"]https://www.enworld.org/threads/rpg-for-power-rangers-coming.675103/[/URL]Elisa Teague from Renegade <a href="https://www.forbes.com/sites/robwieland/2021/08/26/a-look-inside-the-power-rangers-roleplaying-game/" target="_blank">spoke to Forbes</a> about the system.[callout]“The Essence20 Roleplaying System is a d20 based system that uses what I call a ‘fashion plate’ system for character design, drawing from three aspects: what type of person are they, what is their function as part of the team, and what experiences have they had in their life prior to becoming a hero?”[/callout]The system has three elements: Origin, Role, and Influence, and uses different dice for different skill levels.[callout]"When rolling Skills Tests and Attack Rolls, a player will always roll a d20 plus the applicable die for the type of roll they are making, resulting in a total that must exceed the Skill Test’s Difficulty in order to succeed. Essence20 also includes a ladder mechanic, where if a character has specialized in a particular Skill, they may roll their Skill Die plus every other die type under it, choosing the highest die result to add to their d20 roll. A critical success is made when any Skill Die shows its highest number, giving a huge chance of rolling crits, mathematically, and of course, then being able to roleplay those epic results in the most heroic way possible!"[/callout][URL unfurl="true"]https://www.enworld.org/threads/gi-joe-transformers-my-little-pony-rpgs-also-confirmed-for-2021.675179/[/URL]In Power Rangers, characters don't die. They can be defeated and taken out of combat, but the threats they face are not lethal. The core book covers the period of the show when Zordon was the Power Rangers' mentor. The main villains are Lord Zedd and Rita Repulsa.[ATTACH=full]142855[/ATTACH]This weekend, at Renegade Con, they will reveal more information.</blockquote>
