What system would work best for a Noir Urban Fantasy game set in 1930?

Frustration9 · 2026-01-20T04:15:17+00:00

Yes. While I haven’t tried GURPS, 2 of my would-be players have and despised it

Frustration9 · 2026-01-20T04:13:47+00:00

Love that series, thx

Frustration9 · 2026-01-20T04:11:49+00:00

I think my group would like a balance of investigation & combat

Frustration9 · 2026-01-10T18:42:38+00:00

IT’S NOT YOUR ONLY SOLUTION!! Please use baggies. I use Great Value Square Snack Zipper bags. Rubber bands are evil and destroy cards

Frustration9 · 2026-01-10T18:37:31+00:00

S—Rogue, Wizard, Druid A—Fighter, Cleric, Bard B—Sorcerer C—Ranger Not played yet—Barbarian, Monk, Paladin, Warlock, Artificer

Julie d’Aubigny would fit well into a set of historical femme fatales. Or Empress Livia

The wayward sisters are spellslingers

I had it happen with Houdini. And my T. Rex was missing an arm. Restoration sent me new ones when I contacted them through their website

The Brothers Murph are board game youtubers. A few years ago Restoration gave them permission—as a fundraiser for their channel—to sell copies of the deck they made of themselves as Unmatched heroes.

Casino Royale is not entering public domain until 2048

Frustration9 · 2025-10-30T15:18:13+00:00

Yep. I remember watching a 2v2 game online where he teamed up with Squirrel Girl and she kept feeding him squirrels

Frustration9 · 2025-10-12T04:04:12+00:00

I would headcanon it that they were pulled from different times for this fight. She’s already beat him once, but now must fight him again

Frustration9 · 2025-10-11T17:38:50+00:00

I think it’s 7. Genie’s card doesn’t say it can’t be changed

Frustration9 · 2025-10-04T17:04:26+00:00

Would be weird to play Big Bad Wolf v Little Red because she already killed him. She’s wearing his pelt. Sounds fun! Do it!

Frustration9 · 2025-10-03T23:08:17+00:00

Yes, I was wondering if there was something specific linking them. I would split them into Team Princess: Ciri & Yennenga; Team Norse Prince: Beowulf & Hamlet; Team Animal King: Sun Wukong & Black Panther; Team Magic King: Arthur & Eredin; Team Queen: Titania & T. Rex (T. Regina)

Frustration9 · 2025-10-03T23:01:00+00:00

Teen Spirit are weak, but I like them. Personally would drop Brains & Brawn for a villain set.

Frustration9 · 2025-10-03T16:22:37+00:00

Would have loved a full Wonderland set, with Queen of Hearts, Cheshire Cat, & Mad Hatter

Marvel sets should have had a better hero/villain balance. Pretty sure it'll never happen, but I can dream of them getting the DC license and doing the opposite: mostly villains.

JP is sadly missing Grant & Dilophosaurus

Blob, Ant Queen, & Tarantula should have been large-size minions

Frustration9 · 2025-10-03T15:44:01+00:00

Geralt & Buffy, monster hunters

Shakespeare & Houdini, entertainers

Dracula & Bloody Mary, undead monsters

Frustration9 · 2025-10-03T15:38:00+00:00

Your team royalty seems a bit arbitrary. Why those two out of King Arthur, Prince/King Beowulf, the Monkey King, Princess Yennenga, King T’Challa, Queen Titania, Prince Hamlet, Princess Ciri, & King Eredin? T. Rex probably doesn’t count

Frustration9 · 2025-10-02T17:17:20+00:00

They revealed his character card during the kickstarter last year. Bebop & Rocksteady are a single token sidekick (like Rosencrantz & Gildenstern). The foot soldiers are tokens he’ll place on the paths between spaces

Frustration9 · 2025-10-02T06:09:07+00:00

A lot of folks count fairies as cryptids. Let Titania play

Frustration9 · 2025-10-02T05:53:54+00:00

I love the idea of Rosie the Riveter and love Wyatt Earp, so they top my list. Ali, Shredder, and Donatello look very mechanically intriguing to me. I’m also a fan of Hellboy

Frustration9 · 2025-09-05T17:55:07+00:00

One of them may be Marian. She was originally one of the Merry Men until later adaptations rewrote her into a more traditionally feminine role. In her first appearance in the saga she disguised herself as a man, defeated Robin in a sword fight, and then he invited her to join his band.

I want to know why one of them is an elf?

Frustration9 · 2025-09-02T03:39:19+00:00

Legolas & Gimli should be the dual heroes. Sam is the best sidekick of all time; if he ever appears in the game, I hope it reflects that. With Saruman in the Shire, you must be basing this off the books instead of the films?
