This is a fun thread!
My game concept is Kaiju with human PCs that's basically a Godzilla movie. I've run a few games like this in the past as one-shots, usually with a lot of homebrewing and hacking. I usually allow the players to control giant monsters in monster battle scenes (sometimes hilariously working at odds against their human characters).
Like I said, games are usually one-shots, and the tone is fairly campy, so I'm not looking for anything with a high investment cost or something that's too crunchy.
Systems I've used in the past before:
- HERO/Champions, but I find it too crunchy
- Call of Cthulhu (yes, this took a lot of hacking)
- Savage Worlds (I found the dice mechanics didn't fit the genre well)
Thoughts, ideas? Thanks in advance!
