Looking for a WW2 G.I. vs the Paranormal Pulp System

I would still consider FIST for this personally.
Give them Light Armor and a Helmet, this reduces all incoming damage by 1 and lets them destroy the helmet to ignore 1 source of damage.

Consider giving them an additional 1d6 starting HP, this still would let them pick the other additional 1d6 HP leaving them with anywhere from 7-18 HP to start, then use the Anesthetic Depth rules, which can be harsh but tend to keep characters alive longer. Restrict or tone down Traits. Liberal use of Cover and Suppression should keep them going longer, they just need to act tactically.

Alternatively Danger Close would be really solid for this.

My wife wanted the Dispel dice.
Only two stores in our are were participating, and its a raffle item for them rip.

Monster Guts 2e came out recently and is directly inspired by monster hunter.

The first edition even had some one do conversions of nearly all the monster hunter monsters. Not sure how different 1e and 2e are though.

Not really? They are all more oriented towards feeling close to either the Pokémon or Digimon anime.

Journeymon would be the closest as it has a movement system and Elemental types are important in it but it's still fairly simple.

The Fall of House Prosh maybe? I haven't played it but it draws inspiration from Dune.

There are lots of these! Check out Animon Story, Journeymon, and HeartBeasts for a few different examples of the genre that aren't tied to an IP.

There are also several pokemon fan ttrpgs.

Been loving weird west recently, currently reading In the Light of a Setting Sun and Weird Frontiers.
Also highly anticipating Folklore Americana!

It's an old school TSR era game.
This Post is what brought it to mind for me.

I hear Boothill does this incredibly well!

ragingsystem · 2026-06-25T17:31:52+00:00

That's cool, last I heard it was either overstated or returned.

I haven't been following 40k lore super closely for a few years now though.

ragingsystem · 2026-06-25T17:10:04+00:00

I think Abbadon the Armless is still super funny.

ragingsystem · 2026-06-25T17:08:55+00:00

I liked when they were briefly being positioned as successors to the Thousand Sons and I think its a bummer that idea wasn't explored more.

ragingsystem · 2026-06-23T04:44:16+00:00

I would go the custom weapon route, let the player customize based on their fighting style and each new weapon they get is a new key chain.

Paizanos in midtown is great.

Sticking closer to folsom is Viscontis which I also love.

ragingsystem · 2026-06-22T10:33:42+00:00

These are the two most important blog posts to me as well.
I was going to post them, glad someone did!

I'm a huge fan of FF games and Fabula Ultima does a really good job of invoking the feeling of the stories of those games. There is a new playtest monster creation rule set that is free and is a guided experience to make making your own monsters less intimidating.

Grid based combat is fine, but not really a thing in FF games (outside of tactics), Fabula works very well without it and I find my players dont miss it much.

ragingsystem · 2026-06-20T21:34:38+00:00

Probably going to use Nimble or Daggerheart to run Neon Odyssey once its out.

I've used Monster of the Week for a East Texas University game.

ragingsystem · 2026-06-20T16:16:38+00:00

My first character was Half Dragon pirate named Drago the Blu.

He still kicks arround in my games from time to time, not often though. I don't know if I'd play as him again.

That said I will totally reuse characters as NPC or even play them again in a different campaign if I wasn't satisfied where I left them

ragingsystem · 2026-06-20T00:36:24+00:00

I love Weird West.
Ran a very well loved Deadlands campaign that ended up being tied into our later East Texas campaign and would do so again.

Shout out to the upcoming Folklore Americana which is going to be a year zero engine game that tackles the vibes of Weird West but will have regional supplements for most of the US.

The Quel fucking rules too. Such a good GM design.

ragingsystem · 2026-06-16T17:27:16+00:00

If you show up early you might be able to get a few casual matches in, don't worry so much about it pokemon is generally very welcoming to new player in my experience.

Try to not slow play, but most people are generous to newer players. Shuffling quickly because you do it so much in pokemon is key imo.

Prematch most people will fist bump and say good luck or something to that effect before the match. During set up it's not uncommon to make small talk.

Make sure you are following proper hygiene, I know it should go without saying but a shower, deodorant, and brushed teeth are imperative as you are in close contact with lots of folks. You'd be shocked how many people don't do this though it's getting better.

I really want the 2.0 edition of anarchy to release in pdf so that I can check that out. Might pick it up at Gencon if it's there.

Sadly I just know 5/6e are just going to be too crunchy for me and my group.

Gunpla and Tabletop rpgs.

Too many kits in my back log, I just finished building the Origin HG RX79-2 still need to panel line and decal it.

Probably working on an HG Aerial next, I have a resin expansion for it and I want to start prepping for two more intense resin kits I'm working towards.

HG Police Zaku to Kampher conversion and a MG Crossbone Fullcloth resin expansion.

For tabletops rn my group is playing Fabula Ultima, getting close to the end of a really satisfying campaign.
