This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Quote from: Nexus;650559I've never been a big fan of the Palladium house system. Is the incarnation in Ninjas and Supespies very different from the other versions?

Not at all.

Nevertheless, if your bad experience came from Rifts, I'd urge you to give it a try all the same. When you remove the spells and dragon hatchling bio-regeneration and mini-missile payloads and giant robot hit locations, things become far easier to manage.

No.

I'm amazed that noone has pointed out that White Wolf once did an rpg made on Street Fighter II, called "Street Fighter - The Storytelling Game.
Yes, WW calls their system "Storytelling", but it plays like a basic rpg.
Later, some of the rules were carried over into the old WoD supplement "WoD Combat".

It do allows for some very cinematic playing, but it might remind far more of the Streetfighter II - game than of the animes.

.... I'm no fan of the Palladium or D&D combat rules either.
... And by that i mean all Palladium books.
I may not dislike D&D any longer, but I still dislike the Chaos-Lawful/Evil-Good alignment system, as well as the level system.
;)

Its the system Thrash, the freeonline rpg I recommended on the first page, is based on, though Thrash is much more comprehensive in its coverage of martial arts and I think made some clever advancements on the system.

Fight! was also originally conceived as a re-vamp of WW's SF game, though it no longer resembles it at all.
