How to Select an RPG system (a chart)

[Nifft]

Nice chart.

Perhaps it could use a section on dice, particularly:

• "I love new kinds of dice!" -> (warhammer fantasy roleplay 3e)
• "I have a lot of ...." d6 = Shadowrun, StarWars d6; d10 = White Wolf games

Another awesome product from Inkwell Ideas.

A minor suggestion: for the Supers:Marveliceless or lots of fan websites, I would add "card-based" as an option, which then would feed into Marvel SAGA (TSR's card-based Marvel game, and my favorite supers RPG). The technical name was the Marvel Super Heroes Adventure Game, using the SAGA System, but I think Marvel SAGA is more descriptive. It's mildly obscure and out of print, but it's also totally awesome and deserves some love.

This is interesting.

Do you like Anthropomorphic animals? If so, do you like them to be part an assumption of the game or do you prefer them as an add on? Do you want you anthros to have once been human/genetically engineered by humans?

And all this before even getting to whether it's fantasy or science fiction.

-->Assumption of the game --> Is a Vanilla Ice movie cameo required? --> Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles


heh


EDIT: Altho as far as the genetically engineered, it's a damn shame there never was a Rats of NIMH RPG heh.

Is y a function of u or x (or both)?

That's why "A differential equation" is the right answer, and "It should be +x, not +xy" is the wrong answer trying to make the other guy wrong. We can't tell given the base information.

I'm apparently a fail fur for never having seen Secret of NIMH. Anyway, some other gamers told me about Shard based on my furriness. Shard is what I was thinking about with the genetically engineered bit.
