Hey En World! Long time no see!
As a result of the upcoming new Dragonball Z movie rousing me from my slumber I'm happy to announce that I am looking for players to join in a game of the recently released Shonen Final Burst.
For those of you who don't know (which is likely most if not all of you), Shonen Final Burst is a small Indie game released earlier this year that seeks to emulate many of the standard tropes of Shonen anime (Such as Dragonball, Bleach, Naruto and so forth) in the same way that Mutants and Masterminds has done for the comic book scene. In my opinion it is an absolute success at that goal, building a fundamentally sound system that allows for quick, interesting and tactical combat, while at the same time relying on Mutants and Masterminds style 'reskinning' to avoid the massive bloat that plagues systems that try and cling too close to the source material.
With all that said I am looking for a group of no less than three and no more than five players to undertake what amounts to a playtest with me. I have yet to decide on a particular setting, but given the way I am trending at the moment it would be best to describe it as... dragonball-esque. It will have a heavy focus on martial arts (preferably hand to hand but I am quite flexible in this regard), tournament fighting and adventure. If people want to keep to a specific setting I can probably be convinced, otherwise we'll go with something new but flavorful.
Characters will be started at first level, but that does not mean they are necessarily weak within the system. Shonen Final Burst uses the anime concept of Cyclical Power, the next big bad guy is always the strongest thing they've ever faced. Players actually get reset down to the starting level after each major arc, keeping minor perks to show their progress while the pinacle of power from the last arc becomes the sort of baseline of the new one (Re: Super Saiyan kids). I imagine characters to be well respected martial artists, though nowhere near the top of the world.
The basic rules for the system can be found here. Players who are interested in the setting or the rules system can contact me through PM or at my E-Mail. I'll give it a week or so to gather enough players and get everybody set up with their characters.
