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.

What system for this property?

Mighty Magiswords. If you don't want to follow the video link, it's a series of shorts about a brother and sister team of adventurers, the Warriors for Hire (Warrior is their family name). They deal with various problems they're hired to solve mostly by use of their many, many magiswords, all of which are highly (if not ridiculously)  specialized and capable of shrinking to the size of a swizzle stick. Almost none of them are useable as, well, swords. As you may have gathered, it's a less than serious show.

A good start for these threads is for the OP to inform us of his or her extant gaming preferences and restrictions.

But off the top of my head, any superhero game featuring variable power pools/devices will do the trick.

A superhero RPG would be one. Like TSR's MSH.
D&D would be another. The PCs are effectively Wizards with how their arsenal works.
Gurps or BESM could probably handle it too.

Even the the "cutting edge" storygamers for all their talk of narrative, plot, and drama are fucking obsessed with the god damned rules they use. - Estar

Yes, Sean Connery\'s thumb does indeed do megadamage. - Spinachcat

Isuldur is a badass because he stopped Sauron with a broken sword, but Iluvatar is the badass because he stopped Sauron with a hobbit. -Malleus Arianorum

"Tangency Edition" D&D would have no classes or races, but 17 genders to choose from. -TristramEvans

Yes, TOON. Or maybe a modified InSpectres (Player says what the sword is supposed to do, then rolls. Good roll means the sword works as described, bad roll means the GM describes what the sword really does.)
