[QUOTE="Sunseeker, post: 6298898"] I have been a Transformers fan for decades and my wife recently got into the show too. We've been seriously nerding out, creating OC's, fan-fiction, fan-art and so on, and as long-time D&Ders, we have been wondering if there's a Transformers TTRPG. We're not very impressed with the video games, and we haven't found anything official (unless it's very obscure). If there's nothing official, here's what we're looking for in a system to appropriate: -Something that is compact, we're not interested in learning convoluted, obscure or bloated systems. Something that can give us some straight-up character stats, some basic die for weapons and allow us to roll out from there. -Preferably d20, using the common 7 die. Ties in with lacking the time or desire to learn an unfamiliar system. -Low-maintenance, we don't want to have to stop every few minutes to evaluate if a rule is broken or not. -Something that supports melee and ranged combat, but ideally doesn't rely on a fighter/wizard dichotomy. -Lack of reliance on specific fiction. The more generic the system, the better. Likewise we're more interested in playing out our own stories than specific Transformers history. -Playable with few players and no explicit GM. We've only got one friend who is also a Transformers fan, so our table would likely never have more than 3 people to it, GM included. -Flexible classes and "races". IE: you choose to be "Strong", giving you your +2 damage instead of choosing to be an "orc". -Simple character construction. I want to crack out a character, enemies and the like in a couple of minutes or on the fly. I don't want to have to consult tomes of rules and feats. -Cheap: I don't have a lot of money. Free if at all possible. So that's it folks, if there's nothing official I want a simple, flexible system that I can re-purpose to do the job. I'll even take fan-made systems if they fit the bill. Any thoughts? [/QUOTE]
