Best evidence i gots for you. I'm basically just parroting what i've heard in the past weeks.

Soul Eater is really cool and I really want to work out how to do an RPG set in that world where the PCs can play meisters/weapons, but the issue is 'what does the weapon do in combat' keeps coming up and I'm not sure how to handle it.

How would a Soul Eater table-top play?

Sanity meters are a must. But you must also have a MADNESS meter, because in Soul Eater it isn't a sliding scale. Madness is a power and you can be totally sane and completely MAD. Like Maka, sometimes.

Impressive. Well, Weaspons could control how 'intense' they are going. Like 'augmented weapon' 'normal weapon' (the mifune fight is an example of this). Assisting in stratagem. Possibly adding skill/damage.

I remember trying to make a race that worked kinda like the Weapon people did for D&D a while back.

The stats changed completely depending on the weapon they turned into, which was determined by a set of 2 rolls. One for weapon type (Polearm, Sword, Double, Bow, Sling, etc.), one for actual weapon. It was... Difficult to handle, to say the least.

It also made me add a new mechanic, which was the Wavelength, which was determined by a single d% roll at character creation. I worked it like this.

1. If your wavelength is within 10 points of another non-Weapon character's wavelength, they can wield you as a weapon.
2. If your wavelength is within 5 points of another non-Weapon character's wavelength, they can wield you and unlock (Witch-hunter, Shadowstar, Death Cannon, whatever fit best with the weapon. Some of them I had to make up as I went along.)
3. If your wavelength is within 2 points of another non-Weapon character, they can wield you, use "Witch Hunter" or "Genie Hunter (Or Shieldstar, some other bullshit made for other weapons, whatever.).
4. If you and another non-Weapon character share a Wavelength, the non-Weapon character can wield you, use "Witch Hunter", "Genie Hunter", and "Kishin Hunter" (Or Enchanted Sword Mode. Or that ultimate Death Cannon thing. Or whatever I decided would work for a mace, quarterstaff, dagger, or whatever the fuck weapon you turn into.)

I scrapped the idea after a while. It just wasn't working as well as I'd hoped.

But who doesn't?

Okay question for you guys who've been keeping up.

Is Crona 100% confirmed dead? Because I honestly don't think I can deal with that. It's just so... unfair. I'm used to horrible undeserved deaths in my animu, but I think this is a new bar to be surpassed in terms of sheer "shit's not fair fuck".

>>26226850
Shit son, if it's something like The Yes Album, with more conventional songs, listening to them as singles is okay.
Or if it's full-pretentious like Tales, taking a break is fine.
Really I'd suggesting listening to them all as full albums at least once, but it's really up to you.
Although I will say that Relayer is kind of obviously supposed to be taken as a whole.

>>26226933
Oh... So he actually learns for once... Oh wow.

I... Don't know how I feel about this. For months now he's been my number one most hated character in any work of fiction but now...

Well it was kinda a central conceit of the album, what with the song right before it being http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WGAKeHQUx-U
and the song after being Misty Mountain Hop. So there was obviously a fantasy inspiration for a large amount of the album. And uh, something about the fanfare before the guitar solo. That's my favorite part, by the way. and the slow transition from acoustic to a more... "conventional" sound, along with the lyrics both hearkening to fairytales and talking of modern things...
Anyways, as I said before, it's late and I'm drunk, although a lot less drunk. I think there's someone who explains it better than I did even when I was sober somewhere on the innanet.

Right then. How much power should it confer? Should it be a PC race, need level adjustment? How would stealing magic function to make it not OP?

I think a supernatural ghosts n shit race like that could be pretty cool. I like ghost stories and stuff (I don't believe them but find them interesting), which is one of the reasons I liked Geist: The Sin Eaters so much.

Speaking of which, Geist has some similarities to this show.

Well, if you have people roleplaying its not that much of an issue, should probably have a level-adjustment anyway. probably +1, because of social stigmas, probably a non-PC race unless they take.

Alright, serious-ish homebrew mode.

Important mechanics for a SE homebrew:
1. Insanity/Madness
2. Witches
3. Combat, hopefully awesome and/or fluid
4. Soul Resonance
5a. Weapons
5b. Miesters

I very much enjoy Soul Eater. I'll e ven admit it has a lot of potential as a homebrew. Problem is, it would be a clusterfuck and a half trying to shoehorn it into even the most flexible systems.

That said, I'd love to play a competitive campaign. Start at the academy, first player to make a death scythe wins. Shinanegans ensue. Throw in some recurring bad guys and a few psuedo-plots, and you have a great game. Even the GM gets to have fun thinking up new fairytale/gothic baddies to introduce.

From what I understand the issue is that porn draws interest, interest draws people, people might not be interested in anything else the board have and this is bad. Another is shitposting, because clearly, you cant shitpost without porn.

But whatever, I dont really care eitherway, and this is a /q/ sort of question.

>>26227836
huh, didn't think of that.
>>26227809
Lets get started

>>26227809
Well first we have to note that "all people have madness inside them", so that would likely have to be something that increases and decreases with events.

Obligatory

>>26227809
Due to the over the top nature of combat in the series, I think something similar to wushu would work well. The more in depth you describe your actions, the better chance you have of pulling it off.

>>26227857
I'm thinking D6 heavy with D100 for stuff like madness/sanity.

>>26227895
Yes. But how much before they crack? Can they tap it for energy?

>>26227943
Hmmm, mite b cool. A bit like WoD-ish?

>>26227809
1. There are many systems for this, but we might need to think of something new because madness is usually a negative thing, rather than a trade off for power that (usually) doesn't make you any less combat effective (and probably makes you moreso)

2. So far we have that they should be a race and that their power should be able to be stolen, but only with high level magic. Player witches have not yet been figured out, but >>26227556
had some ideas so we can start from there.

3. No ideas yet, except those that tie into weapon/meister.

4. >>26225886
Had a system but said it was better in theory than in practice, but maybe we could work something out with it since it's a cool premise.

5(ab). The main problem here is control. Obviously players should control a meister, but whether the weapons are players, DMPCs, or secondary player-controlled characters is still up for debate.

>>26227921
YOU GAVE ME A SCRIPT WITH BONERS IN IT!

>>26227943
If we use a mat, there should be a lot of focus on movement and positioning
>>26227966
That's the question. Maybe if we do a straight percentage, and reaching 100% makes you lose control?

>>26227966
well, for how much, we could run through the series and try and quantify their insanity.
As for d6 heavy I like as d6 is the most common

>>26225507
This, seriously. The blonde girl & the scythe guy were okay. The other two pairs were unbearable.

>>26227809
Should Soul Resonance be something decided once, something that can be affected in scenes, something you roll with each attack? There are a lot of ways to interpret it.

>>26228040
I think it should be an advanced combat maneuver that takes up some kind of points, and you need to succeed at doing, but should be rather potent

>>26228009
>>26225507
Then why are you in a soul eater thread???

>>26228009
What've you got against symmetry anon?

In all seriousness though, Death the Kid had some annoying qualities but he was a pretty solid and idealistic character (at least later on). Plus, considering how he's the son of the primal incarnation of Death I'd sorta be disappointed if he didn't seem alien and borderline mentally ill from a human perspective.

THESE ARE DICK JOKES AREN'T THEY?!

>>26228082
If we look at it like that, those points would likely be spell charges. Used for advanced attacks, healing, etc. But then, what about moves that project your soul wavelength like Black Star Big Wave?

>>26228082
Hmmm, maybe after being 'unlocked' its a battle maneuver-thing. Later stronger pairs can 'maintain' it for longer periods of time.

/tg/: Anime and Manga.

>>26228132
It's probably better that we have it be a number of points you raise with levels, and they allow you to roll a special ability. For example: Spend one point to activate With Hunter. If you roll high enough, the move works.

>>26228160
>4chan: Anime and Manga

>>26228124
>>26228132
hmmm. well moves like the big wave are less taxing than soul resonance
>>26228179
it'd would take more than one point, either that or soul wavelength attack a la Stein and Black Star would cost fractional points.

>>26227998
San check, roll, higher or lower than target, go insane or tap into maddness improving combat?

>>26228219
Fair enough, I was just using that as an example. We'd need lots of different techniques that require different levels of resonance, and Witch Hunter wouldn't probably be a low level one. But Big Wave doesn't actually use soul resonance, which is why maybe we should divide moves into Weapon and Meister techniques.

>>26228242
lower than, both. plus the different kinds of insanity, like death being the insanity of order or whatever

>>26228160
Usually /tg/ has good taste with that shit, except when it doesn't.
But hey, this place got me to watch The Big O, so that makes up for all the fate/stay night garbage, the Strike Witches bullshit, the girl und pa...
wait.
No it doesn't.

>>26228242
Tapping into madness should have a negative effect that discourages long term or repeated use. Maybe it's boosts your stats for the encounter but weakens you increasingly the more you use it without resetting the counter?

>>26228242
Damn, Stein was done really well. I've suffered through some pretty major mental sickness (hallucinations, extreme paranoia, loss of compassion) myself and he sorta reminds me of myself in some ways. It's... Unsettling to say the least.

Stien is a paragon of knowing how to insane in a sane way.

>>26228310
>>26228292
Sanity stat, degrades with more uses of Madness. Madness increases when Sanity drops.

The lower the San, the harder to return from madness?

>>26228436
That could work. But obviously all characters can't start out with the same sanity, so something has to determine it. And is that all it affects?

at the end of every session you get a roll to reduce your whatever ratio, you can double the dice you roll, but earn less xp, and/or roll those bastards twice, but get no xp. I only got the book recently so am about 60% on my memory, If I had the book I'd quote shit but I can't, sorry

>>26228587
Maybe we could make sanity a defense stat? Derive it from will, and have enemies roll against it?

>>26228637
I don't think you should draw power from your defense stat. Also, Black Blood, y/n?

>>26228734
Maybe. What if it's an (incredibly unconventional) magic item? Like a (3.5) graft in terms of how it works?

>>26228756
It'd have to be pretty high level considering it's effects. Likely you would have to get all the way to Deathscythe for it to be fair use.

Perhaps, but perhaps not. The fact that it can do pretty messed up things to your mind AND take total control over your physical/mental form are pretty big drawbacks. Maybe it should be available relatively early, and simply be a REALLY bad idea until high level?

A not game-related question, coming through.

Is anime good up to some point from which I can continue on reading the manga or is it just full of non-canon filler like Fullmetal Alchemist original series?

It was pretty cool filler, but manga is easily superior

>>26231118
I believe that's mentioned up-thread anon

>>26228107
I agree with that logic regarding Kid alone, but the problem is that ol' Lord Death isn't yet more alien and insane-seeming.

Unless that's different in the manga, I've only seen the anime. Reading the manga is something I've been meaning to do forever.

To keep this more /tg/ related, I inadvertently once made a character with a super power similar to Medusa's, speed-related arrows and all. Still, I'm pretty sure my guy can take her, because if you have a Stand, you usually tend to be a very tactical fighter.

>>26230968
your gallery is pining for the fjords anon

>>26231118
The first half follows the manga and is the best, the second half was made up by the show writers for the most part and is still worth watching if you really liked the first half. So yeah, it's kinda like the first FMA, except I don't think that had such a hard cut-off point between full-cannon and then entirely off the rails.

That said, I keep hoping and hoping that Soul Eater gets the equivalent of FMA Brotherhood. It's my number one anime wish.

>>26231177
how'd you manage that. Also the thread is /tg/ related, all pnp homebrews are.

Are you talking about how he used to look scarier, or more serious differences?

Also I really thought it was neat how he intentionally changed his appearance to not scare people. I love the idea of not evil or straight-up good types who just happen to look evil and scary. If my superhero fantasies ever came true, I'd be the freaky wraith made of shifting elemental darkness who gets kittens out of trees and that sort of thing. And no angsty stuff either.

>>26232030

The more serious stuff is implied. Sadly, there's simply not a lot around on Death.

But, watch not just the way he looks, but how he acts when the mask comes off. There's a big change. Not enough to confirm there's major personality differences, but enough to get the thought going.

Death's an eldritch abomination who, upon defeating one of Death's rebellious subjects, drained him of his blood, tore off his skin, trapped his flayed bloodless body within a bag made of HIS OWN SKIN, and then removed Death's own soul to pin this thing in place.
And the moment the guy revives, Death tries to kill him for good, implying he could've done it anytime before if he hadn't wanted so dramatic a torture.
Lord Death is fucking horrifying when he's not trying to not be.
Not to mention his ongoing attempted genocide of the Witch race because they don't fit in with his order.

>>26232110
Heroes who put the law down HARD on evil are the best kinds.

I agree about him being overly harsh toward witches though. Killing them because they're evil, fine. Because they're witches, not so much. Destroy all evil, but keep it to evil, not associated aspects.

He does it because he is the madness of order, where the Kishin is the madness of fear

Man I came up with so many ideas today, it's a miracle I had time to get work done. First of all I came up with some rough ideas for chargen, including two sets of combat stats. I also came up with some ideas of how we could do two character combat. It seems that this will probably have to be a combat centered game, since roleplaying two people AND having fun and dramatic combat is hard.

>>26239977
But isn't it the goal of Meisters to collect the souls of 99 Kishin Eggs, and a Witch? Sounds pretty combat intensive to me.

>>26240057
Which brings me to that. Obviously the only solution to Kishin Eggs is to make them EXP. 5 to a level. And a Witch Soul to reach cap. That means a level cap of 20. We can have that be a shared meter for teams, or we can have weapons do that while Meisters do normal EXP

>>26240137
From the source its a very classless affair, mainly seeking improvement with no path, so however we deterine experience/increases in power every option is most likely going to be available to everyone

Seriously...

Illuminati = Witches, Power over everything else, making deals with devils and incriminating photo's of angels. Do or get Done.

Templar = DWMA. Everything must be kept in order, yes we can work together but step out of line and your dead.

Dragon = Medusa/Crona/Kishin. Send the world in Chaos, be the one to pick up the pieces and then throw them in the air again.

Stats would be Str/Con/Agi/Int/San(ity)/Wav(elength

They would be printed twice, once for Meister and once for Weapon. The difference comes into play with combat stats. Meisters would have defenses, Toughness, Sanity, Dodge, and Parry. Then they would use Str and Agi for attacks, Wav for abilities. Weapons would have combat stats too, but they'd be Sharpness for damage, and Durability to take the pain from being used to block attacks. Dodging an attack would mean you have to save against fatigue, and failing the save gives you fatigue counters. The more you get, the worse you are in the fight, meaning you don't want to drag them out if you can avoid it. If you parry it with your weapon, it has to save, which means it's even riskier to keep fights going long. The thing is, it only makes sense that weapons can switch back and forth between forms in battle, but doing so allows for a lot of nuance. We can make feats for being able to partially transform, being able to transform quickly, and stuff like that. I should actually probably organize this into seperate posts, but I don't know how to exactly.

>>26240606
Dodge: Derived from agility. When a range attack is made against you, it targets your dodge defense. Taking the hit does damage and applies normal effects. Dodging attacks allows you to move into a space outside the area of effect, but will force you to save against fatigue. Failing the save will increase your fatigue by one point, and upon accumulating points your defenses may suffer, as well as your damage, speed, and ability to match wavelengths.

>>26240606
I remember this analogy happened in the anime, and I think the manga, but isn't using a weapo like using an amp for your wavelength?

>>26240678
Parry: Derived from weapon Durability. When a physical attack is made against you, it targets your Parry defense. Taking the hit does damage and applies normal effects. Parrying the attack avoids damage, but forces your weapon partner to save against durability damage. If the save fails, your weapon partner accumulates fatigue. Too much fatigue will lower your weapon's sharpness, and may even force him out of his/her transformed state. At this point, you will be forced to rely on your own physical ability, or the generosity of your squadmates with their weapons, and your own ability to match wavelengths with an unfamiliar weapon.

alright, who would win

Whatever that demons name is in Soul Eater or Yawgmoth?

>>26240746
Yes, but I'm trying to make weapons a more integral part of the game.

>>26240777
well, each weapon amplifies the meister differently and to different degrees, I'm just wondering should combat damage be derived from a combination of Wav and Str? or just Str?

>>26225287
Soul Eater has awful noses, there's nothing to be done about them.

>>26240798
I was thinking that the attack roll is from the meister, and the damage comes from the weapon. We can have abilities be derived from Wav.

>>26240606
Yes! I like how you incorporated Weapons as being more than Weapon form.

>>26240678
Hurm. Degrading combat effectiveness. Making tough scary fights scarier as they get longer.

>>26240746
In both they did.

>>26240765
Oh~ More making the Weapon work.

>>26240768
It's 'Ashura' by the way. And I'd have to say Yawgmoth; ol' Yawgy wasn't beaten by 3 high schoolers with magic weapons., also, wizards just rule.

>>26240810
It can't be helped.

>>26240828
I can see that working, but it makes the problem of needing an even numbered group of people half of which are willing to weapons for other PC's, or have Players manage two-characters simultaneously

>>26240846
welcome back I suppose, I don't know if I said that yet.

>>26240870
That's the inherent problem with this subject. Somebody has to sit there and do nothing but roll for someone else's decisions. My idea? Just have the player roll for both, and leave it up to the group to decide who roleplays the weapon. It's a homebrew, it's allowed to be a little gritty. It adds character.

>>26240896
Yeah that works.

looks like a tossup to me

Strength: Determines melee attack success, and athletics rolls.

Agility: Determines ranged attack success, Dodge defense, and speed.

Constitution: Determines HP, Fortitude defense, and fatigue save bonus.

Intelligence: Determines mental rolls such as history, medical, magic, etc.

Sanity: Determines sanity defense, and bonus to sanity saves.

Wavelength: 1) Increases the odds of you resonating with a weapon. Meaning a higher stat affords you a wider arsenal to draw from. 2) Increases the damage done by resonation abilities such as Witch Hunter, and Death Cannon.

>>26240975
I can also see Yawgmoth being resistant to madness via phyresis and similar technologies, whereas I can't think of anything that would stop Ashura's flesh from being Compleated. That being said, if he was made Compleat he'd probably be at least a Praetor

>>26240768
they'd probably become bros

I have one problem, but its not something I know how to fix, brute strength doesn't help as much as dexterity/coordinatinon when trying to hit in close combat

Link?

>>26241107
I agree. We could make melee attacks derive from Agility as well, but that means nobody would bother putting points into Strength.

You're welcome.

>>26241121
Still takes strength to put the force behind the hit. I see WAV as an amplifier of what you have, not what you work off. I may be contradicting myself here though

>>26226964
Whoa! Spoiler that shit.

>>26241163
But if we derive damage from Strength, then the weapon becomes a hunk of metal with no personality. Maybe we just don't use strength? And making damage/effect derive from Wav means people will build around a high Wav score, and we want to encourage diversity.

>>26241163
What if there are classes/playstyles besides Meister that can use strength? Like legendary warriors (Mifune) and perhaps non-evil werewolves?

>>26241157
Sweet, thanks.

>>26241209
Let's worry about figuring out the vanilla game before we get to stuff like that. But I like where you're going with this, it could work.

>>26241209
I didn't see Free as evil, Lawful perhaps, as he's honoring his debts. Also, it would be kickass to play as Mifune, but lord british postulate and all that, that's why I'm conflicted on Black Blood

Was it ever confirmed that Excalibur is a Warlord?

>>26241291
I think so, yes.

>>26241251
I'm a firm believer that Black Blood shouldn't be a 'core' thing. Its kinda the grease in SE plot so explaining why Medusa this, Maka/Soul that seems silly. BUT some GMs would probbly want to know how to incorporate it, say if they interceting with the main plot or doing alt universe shenanigans. Core feature, no. GM tingymagigger, fine.

>>26241291
Yeah.

Excalibur is Rage while Ebon, Asura and Death are Knowledge, Terror and Order respectively.

>>26241251
I don't really see him as evil either, and I should have phrased that differently. I mean, non-villainous werewolves.

Speaking of which, do we know of any besides Free? Because if he's any representation of the race as a whole, then werewolves could function sort of as a LN psuedo-paladin class.
