Message: <blockquote data-quote="LuisCarlos17f" data-source="post: 8276194" data-attributes="member: 6802378">[MEDIA=youtube]6EZCBSsBxko[/MEDIA]Hasbro would be glad with an Urban Arcana setting because it is the easiest option to be adapted into action-live productions, and also to can publish crossovers with other franchises, but in the tabletop there is a serious conflict between gameplay/power balance and fidelity realism. If firearms are too powerful the classic classes would be forgotten and everybody would want to be gunmen or one-man-army as Rambo. The calculation of XPs rewards/challenge rating had to be totally different, because with the right weapon a elephant, dinosaur or megafaun specimen could be killed with one shot. In the first movie "Alien the eight passenger" only one xenomorph was enough to kill almost all Nostromo crew, but in the sequel, James Cameron's Aliens dozens, maybe hundreds of them, could be killed from other room thanks two turrets. Have you played any battle royal videogame? let's imagine the enemy is using only an axe and a shield. After other enemy with the same stats but this time with a gun. Now it's not so easy. The next is the enemy as sniper from the top of a tree or a window. Then menace is different, practically the equivalent to survive a trap. But It can become worse if the enemy can use an exo-suit (Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare), a powered armor (Fallout or Anthem) or a mecha (Titanfall or the B.R.U.T.E. from Fortnite). This enemy in a d20 game is more powerful than adding a monster template. Do you understand? Haven't you thought about WotC publishing any famous videogame franchise? not only Blizzard's Diablo or Warcraft, but also sci-fi shooters as Fortnite: Save the World or Blizzard's Overwatch. He-Man and the Master of the Universe, as the superheroes, aren't easy to be adapted to games, because these need a right balance between power and weakness, success and weakness. If Hasbro wants a planetary romance, better to start from zero with their own new IP.</blockquote>
