Let's Talk Blue Rose

[Nomad4life]

What ever happned to the fine art of taking the things with a grain of salt? It's possible to enjoy Atlas Shrugged without agreeing with Rand's politcal philosophies, or like TNG without becoming an advocate of space-based socialism, or some pulp extravaganza complete with half-dressed jungle girls and/or space vixens without being a chauvanist pig...

You know, if I ever saw a game entitled “Half-dressed jungle girls and/or space vixens: The Role Playing Game” I think I would buy it on the spot.



After I had regained consciousness from laughing myself into a blackout.

Isn't that basically the gist of Macho Women With Guns?

Pretty much.

The "Our Sisters of Harley Davidson" supplement is priceless for the title alone.

Not to derail the derailment, but a new version of the PDF was released, with some typoes & the like corrected. The title page has an interesting new addition:
"POWERED BY THE TRUE20(tm) SYSTEM".

I guess GR has a trademark for the M&M/BR/no-dice-but-a-d20 system.

Lets hope it bodes well for a seperate TRUE20 rulesbook and then many other products based on that system.

Yeah, mine just came in too. ::Feels special::



Hmmm… I see the “True20” thing as well. However, I'm not sure what EXACTLY "is" or "is not" part of the True20 setup. Is it just the idea of using one die, or is it all of the crunch that goes with it?

The cousin of this plote device would be the love triangle, or the love septagrams you see in some of the more crazy shounen manga.

Love septagrams...hilarious! Made me laugh.

I expect that if GR doesn't release the rules seperately, I'll pick BR up, or at least leaf through it. It looks pretty cool.

I am waiting for someone to do the old 1st edition way.

3 attacks this round 2 next

Wasnt it 3/2, meaning three attacks every two rounds? 1st round you attack twice, next you attack once, and so on.

Oh, son of...

So, not only did my idea for a better damage system get pre-empted by Blue Rose, my idea for a "one die for all rules" got killed too?

Ah well. I'll read Blue Rose, and see if theirs is better than the one I was coming up with.

You do know that this system is not new, don't you? It first appeared in Mutants & Masterminds, and was reprinted in a D&D context in AU.
