Reposting this so I have it convenient later:

Dreamer - "Aw no, we're getting our buts kicked. Better go make an exploding volcano. Again." - Greg Parker, showing that a Super Mega Wizard's work is never done.

Imaginary Best Friend - "Hi, meet Gregor." - Amanda Dunkleman, introducing her foes to her sixty foot tall T-Rex.

True Believer - "Hahaha! You cannot defeat Captain Amazing!" - Captain Amazing, who has the secret identity of Ralph Cotton.

Cheater - "What? No, it's totally legit!" - Kevin, being a total cheaty-McCheaty pants again.

>>33952250
Not sure if the text for True Believer fits. The True Believer is intended to be that Special Kid (in fact, that was their original name) who is too stupid to tell fantasy from reality. That text just sounds like a kid playing pretend.

Except the quote isn't from the kid, it's from the "super hero". The flavor is a bit subtle, but that was my intention.

>>33952282
Anyone catch the mom and dad doodle?
Should they be punked more? Or should they remain normal?

>>33952314
They look fine.

>>33952314
We'll put that in the adults page unless anyone has any objections. I saved it to put it there whenever. Thinking of maybe putting the mom on one side of the page and the dad on the other side of the page and wrapping the text between them.

>>33952282
See, how I saw it was the kid pretending to be goku or whatever, despite not actually having superpowers.
He's the gish to Dreamer's wizard.

Not necessarily too stupid to know fantasy from truth, though those would certainly be a type.

>>33952344
That sounds like a good idea actually. You able to split them up yourself or should i upload a pair of split up versions?

I wouldn't use roman numerals in the subject. That's something commonly seen in quest threads and triggered my "hide thread" reflex.

>>33952370
I can split them up. It's nothing more than an MS Paint job.

>>33952314
Adults should be minimally punked. The punkiness is more or less exclusive to children, after all.

>>33952358
Not familiar with the term "Gish", but I get what you're saying. Still, I think my quote works both ways

>>33952314
I agree with >>33952434
adults should look very pedestrian.

As for all the other art, don't angst too much about how punk or non-punk it should look. The ones you made before looked great and we'd be thrilled if we had one per class just like the ones we already have.

>>33952434
Yeah, if there are adults that are kidpunked they should be goofy over the top villains a la Toilenator, Common Cold, Mr. Wink and Fib, Father.

>>33952434
Or Adult villains. So, "punked" version of parents are good if they angry

>>33952450
you're on /tg/ and don't know the word gish?

Okay, that's.. bizarre. It's like a person who casts spells on themself to make them a better fighter.

Frankly when i heard gish i thought of one of Edmund McMillan's early games.

But hey the more you know.

>>33952450
Gish is a spellcaster that does damage through physical means; mostly using magic to self-buff and such.

>>33952497
>>33952545
Got it. So it's like a Shadowrun Adept; I don't cast fireball I just dodge your bullets and punch through you.

I'm writing the Scrapper class right now, and I had a really interesting idea.

If we're going with one-page-per-subclass, maybe we should have a one- or two-paragraph story from that class's point of view, just fluff text to sort of show their preferred mindset or combat style?

If we do that, we should have a "character" for each subclass that's consistent across the document. So, maybe the Scrapper could be seen in fluff text beating up Greg Parker and Kevin simultaneously, as in the quotes in this post: >>33952250

>>33952581
Like the DnD and Pathfinder iconics?

>Cheater
>basically the That Guy class
>being named anything other than Steve

>>33952581
I like it, but I don't like the idea of our viewpoint characters fighting each other. We should instead have, like, four teams of four, each featuring a member of each class. Like a team of Scrapper, Sniper, Buddy, Cheater or the like. That way we can show how classes work together.

>>33952637
Yeah. They should have a consistent name and archetypal characterization, as if this system was actually developed from observing 16 kids. Each one is the POV for their own fluff text and occasionally show up in others' fluff texts as well.

We might make some complete character sheets out of them for examples' sake or for samples used in a potential starter/sample campaign. I know that's way down the line, but it's best if we decide up front we want to do that.

>>33952672
There's no reason we can't write those as well, or for example have a Buddy backing up a Bully in the Bully's fluff text, stuff like that.

>>33952696
Yeah, but you were saying "have the scrapper beat up Greg and Kevin". We can't have our Icons be "the bad guys" or fighting each other. It makes it hard to figure out who to root for.

>>33952742
That's just it, none of them are really the bad guys, they're all just playing pretend. Plus, it's not really intended to be a neutral point-of-view thing.

What happened with the guy who was going to GM this anyway?

>>33952850
We're way too early to actually talk about running a game of this yet.

I'm free Tuesdays and Fridays.

>>33952774
I don't think my reason for my objection is coming through clearly. I apologize and will try to make it more clear.

The problem with Icon vs Icon combat is that, for one Icon to be winning in his fluff piece, it means another Icon must be LOSING. It's hard to generate excitement about, say, the Dreamer class when the Icon is getting his butt handed to him in the Scrapper fluff. It makes Scrapper look better at the expense of the Dreamer.

>>33952880
Oh then I'll help and see if I can speed things up.
Do you have skype?

>>33952891
Well, the Dreamer fluff would show the Dreamer dominating others - so I don't see why that's a problem. Everyone has their day in the limelight, nobody is objectively the best.

>>33952911
Yeah, like the TF2 Meet the [Class] videos. Each of the classes makes the rest of them look super lame in their own video.

It needs to be filled in with the actual content, but this should give you a sense of what a subclass's page will look like.

>>33952911
True, but then you have to absolutely make sure that each class gets its butt kicked the exact same number of times. If a class gets its butt kicked more/less often than others, players will notice and (even if only subconsciously) rate those classes as worse/better than normal. This is a legitimate design concern when dealing with fluff.

>>33952973
Really? It seems kinda autistic to actually count who wins or loses the most in the fluff text.

I mean, I see what your point is, I'm just not sure it would seriously matter.

>>33952581
Little stories that inform us about the character in question? I like that idea. I'm working on a Rowdy Girl and True Believer Doodles right now. Maybe might help for write faggotry.

>>33952996
Okay, first, that is not autistic. In fact it's in the oposite direction as an autistic would be more number and crunch focused. What we are discussing is the idea of Narative Influence, the very real human tendency for stories to have an impact on our thoughts and opinions. It's been proven that stories often have more of an impact or influence on people's decision making and opinions than cold hard facts.

>>33952996
It's about making players excited to play it.
Nobody wants to play something that looks like it sucks.

>>33953088
>>33953093
Well, it's not worth arguing about it.

Might we want to make some other kids as characters, then? Maybe kids from the Other Neighborhood or something? I still like the idea of the fluff text showing off what they do best.

That's where your art is going. I think it'll look really neat and professional to have one for each and more for some of the other sections.

Your artwork's going a long way towards turning it from some over-thought words on paper to an actual core book.

>>33953119
I agree. If we show the Icons at their best, we can make players excited about the classes. I like the idea of another team of kids, but a 16 vs 16 brawl seems excessive. That's why I'm proposing we have 4 little fluff stories going on with Teams A, B, C, and D each having their own adventure. Team A could be fighting other kids, B is fighting purely imaginary foes (goblins or something), C is fighting a giant monster, and D is fighting an evil Adult. It shows off the Icons abilities, AND shows the different types of adventures the characters can have.

>>33953194
Actually, another kidpunk example I think.

I think each Iconic's story should focus not on kicking another specific kid's ass, but on how well they contribute to their team. When a conflict between two kids is played for drama(and not for tactical purposes, like a Jock smashing Nerds, Cuties and Wierdos would be), their opposition should be treated respectfully, like a worthy opponent.

Edgy things can count as kidpunk. After all South Park counts as kidpunk.

>>33953498
certainly some similarities. At least as far as kid characters and no real adults.
But the one I saw of it there were aliens coming down, and people getting clubbed to death. Also the baby sister spelunking to find her abortioned even babier sister. Is it truly all in the kid's heads?
I also saw no improvised cardboard tech, no adults being oblivious..

I don't think so.

>“This guy botherin’ you, kid?” - Carlos Twain stickin’ up for the little guy

So how do people picture the tough kid? I'm picturing some hoodied protector kid? Someone who uses markers to draw on muscles? A kid covered in bruises? Big and quiet type. Sorta like pic related from Camp Weedonwancha.

>>33953942
I love that Anime, and it's a good example of teens that might show up. Villains or allies depends on what they're pretending to be. A magical girl would of course help the children, but a would be Dark Lord is a serious foe.

>>33953942
Usually when someone says "Not to get all ____" they're about to get very very "____".

But this is the same kind of... Young at heart thing? The Teenager that refuses to acknowledge he/she's growing up. Like going on the kiddie slide thinking its still fun only to find out they're too big for it.

Its sort of considered as something like... "Young at Heart" and could be a good or bad thing.

>>33953961
I was thinking of changing the Scrapper's name and making the Tough Kid's name Todd 'The Fifth Grader" Touchet since I picture him as the older kid who stands up to bullies and protects the younger kids.

>>33953998
Come to think of it they'd make pretty good BBEGs, I'm picturing one who knew how to "hide their powerlevel" around adults to get the kids into all kinds of trouble when one is around, but also engages in epic imagination battles with them when they're not.

>>33952477
I like the idea of splitting adults into two groups: You have normal adults that imagination doesn't work as well around, and who are drawn normally, and you've got the cartoonish adult villains who are drawn in the same style as the kids. The irony being that despite talking about how much they hate children and fight them, they're basically big immature children themselves that use the imagination stat just as much as the PCs.

>>33954039
An idea I've just had. They have a good imagination pool for their age and a couple powerful imaginary abilities, buts that's all they have. They don't have a kids sheer flexibility, but make up for it ith raw power and higher "being older" stats.

>>33932150
no it would be more that they get healing from foods that normally wouldn't do so, like say the kid from Ruritania recovers some health by eating half a Liverwurst, Onion, and Stinky Goat Cheese Sandvich, but gets a small social penalty for doing so

Nigel - Mastermind
Hoagie - Tinkerer
Kuki - Ditz
Wally - Rowdy
Abigail -???

I'd think sass, but she never really insult fought or gossiped.

>>33954526
I dunno she always had a cool line to say to the villains before she escaped. She was a cool kid. Knew the ropes and helped people out... Buddy?

>>33954573
but that wasn't her fighting style, that was just her personality.

Her fighting style was really.. ninja-y?
No insults were used for will damage, except for maybe when fighting her sister.

Can SSP be used for things other than Nuh-uhs?

I would think so.

we should list every class, subclass, and interest/trait we are currently including for clarity purposes, cause I'll admit I'm starting to get a little lost in that area

>>33954621
well Heinrich too(and to a lesser extent Stickybeard)

>>33954621
Yeah, I agree. She had the Cool Kid trait, but was more of a Scrapper.

>>33954621
she was more like an action hero bard.
in the sense of high charisma and Dex.

>>33954666
>>33954621
Cool Kid Scrapper with Interest: Martial Arts.

>>33954689
more like interest Indiana jones

>>33954689
There we go. Fits her fighting skills, cleverness, and ability to throw zingers.

>>33954727
what about 362?

>>33953942
I suppose there could easily be houserules regarding teens who don't know they're teens.

>>33954768
you get multiple interests, because they're just flavor.
Sweets, Indiana Jones, and Martial Arts would all be possible.


Clarence

Clarence - Dreamer
Sumo - Rowdy?
Jeff - Know-it-all

We see everything without the imagination goggles, but it's all there.

>>33954768
Actually, that kinda fits his Indiana Jones idea. All thae were classic treasure hunts, it's just that the treasure was candy instead of gold or the like.

>>33954817
Is she punky enough with the funny hoodie? or is she okay?

Forgot to add that on.

>>33954835
She's perfect.

should we have Class traits --> Subclass traits?
Like all Jocks get +1 phys and then the subclasses each have more specialized traits.

Okay, next!

Ed, Edd and Eddy

Ed - Mastermind
Edd - Know-it-All, maybe multiclassed into Tinkerer
Eddy - Special/True Believer

Naz - Buddy
Jonny 2x4- Imagination Friend (Plank)
Sarah - Tattler (I'm telling mom!)
Jimmy - ???
Kevin - Sassy/Gossip or maybe Bully. Most of his doing was insults not physical attacks. Was his intent to cause pain for his fun, or cause social degradation to boost himself as alpha?

Lee - Rowdy i think. While she tries to be bossy, nobody listens, and she really likes getting in fights.
May - Ditz
Marie - Tinker (she can fix REAL cars even)

Rolf -ROLF, SON OF A SHEPHERD, IS TO BUSY FOR YOUR ED-BOY GAMES OF TOMFOOLERY! LEAVE NOW SO I MAY HARVEST THE SUGAR BEETS!

>>33955001
wasn't this already a thing?

>>33955001
I thought that Jocks Nerds Cuties and Weirdos were like Catagories of Classes. Like Martial Smart Social and Magic classify things from Warriors to Barbarians, Wizards to Sorcerers.

>>33955088
you got Ed and Eddy swapped round there pall.

>>33955088
Jimmy struck me as either Sassy or... On one occasion, the Cheater. He's used his charms and deceptive cuteness to pull off nefarious things.

>>33955130
so I did. sorry about that.

>>33955152
when did Jimmy lay down a social smackdown?

>>33954859
So as it stands we got Drawings for 6 classes.
All 4 of the Jocks
and 2 of the Weirdos.
I can maybe try to do two more sometime tonight and call it there.

Any particular requests?

>>33955001
that's a possibility if it doesn't add too much complexity, also we need a different name for the Nerd subclass Sniper cause that's a little too specific and not very kid oriented(I'm thinking something like Hardcore Gamer since that's where we got the idea initially and it's a reasonably large area of inspiration)

>>33955188
how about a Ditz and a Mastermind

>>33955174
He got the eds in trouble during the friendship day debacle, without tattling, by simply making a convincing victim and laying red herrings. And I think he has outscammed eddy once or twice.

Otherwise normal jimmy strikes me as a buddy. He's always with Sarah after all.

>>33955196
While I've shown how the system works for most everything else, I can't even figure out a kidpunk show example of a Sniper.

So... Are we sure it and it's mechanics are even a thing that belongs here?

Unless you can think of an example

Once a lot of this is cleaned up, I think I want to run a game taking place during the 1950s or 60s, maybe with some darker undertones along with the cheery and imaginative areas of play. Also kids could order stuff from the back of comics and talk about getting powers from atomic radiation (as apposed to the non-atomic variety?)

What do you guys think?

>>33955258
I could see it.

>>33955249
Frankly the "Kid with a slingshot" is a thing i see in cartoons a lot generally. More a Kidsy stereotype in general. There's always the kid that pretends to shoot things with lasers or cowboy guns. I can imagine a kidpunk version of a "Sniper" would be the Six-Gum Gang from a few episodes of KND.

Maybe we can rename Sniper to Slinger to make it more flavor neutral. A kid that either zaps things with a laser gun, or uses a slingshot like the Beano, or has a genuine red rider BB gun.

>>33955334
does it really fit the nerd archetype though?

>>33955334
it's not really an archetype though.

Kid with a squirt gun is not really a special manner of play, is it?

It's just a kid with a squirt gun.

I sort of see what you mean, but at the same time.. No, not at all.


What about that KND kid with the yo-yos? Where he used his equipment to do all kinds of things that shouldn't be possible? I feel that would make more sense as far as a lot of the slingshot/laser kids than just "has more range and damage"

Using equipment to do bizarre things.

That seems pretty nerdly.

>>33955372
It really is hard to say. Not very well is indeed the answer. But it doesn't really fit anywhere else either, but its one of those quintessential kiddy things kids pretend to do.

Honestly if you pretend to use guns and are good with them, strikes me more of a nerd. The kids that use squirt guns or nerf guns... I'm guessing thats the excuse for having it in nerd rather than jock. Unless there is a nerdier way of saying "Kid that throws things at things".

>>33955334
>>33955372
maybe we could bring the Prankster back as a full Sub-Class since that might fit better as a Nerd type(not to mention be less specific than a Slinger would be, since it could cover traps and distractions as well as long range attacks) since being good at pranks tends to require at least some smarts

All kids have ranged weapons options though.

You could be a scrapper with a bow. (rangers?)
A rowdy that throws rocks/boulders.
Or a tinkerer that built a rapid-fire missle launcher.

Being a ranged fighter is already a thing other classes are doing. Any other class is doing.

>>33955481
>>33955445

Using equipment to distract, to do traps, to swing over a bridge, to tie a guy up, to disarm a badguy,

I think this is a possible thing.

Prankster is too specific a name though. You're not just limited to pranks. Pranks is a flavor of how it could be played.

>>33955520
>Prankster is too specific a name though. You're not just limited to pranks. Pranks is a flavor of how it could be played.
What about Menace?

You either play with it as pranks... Or just general ruffian-y things science fair things.

maybe as a nod to both Dennis'(the American and British one) we could call it The Menace

>>33955550
I see great minds think alike

>>33955550
We HAD a prankster class and we replaced it with Sniper.

We're really zigzagging on this. Can we please choose one or the other?

Okay, Tinker's are already building contraptions,how do we distinguish them?

what about something more on the theoretical side that's good at physics and calculating probability and stuff? or would that fall under mastermind? or are masterminds more tacticians?

>>33955635
I can see Tinker as a vehicle specialist.

By the way, I think Tinker sounds better than Tinkerer. Tinkerer sounds awkward.

>>33955648
I can see that. That class plus Interest:Scifi would lead to a Dexter kind of character, whereas that plus Interest:Fantasy might lead to an alchemist, and so on.

The acid test for if an archetype would fit or not is to ask how several different Interests would translate in it.

>>33955630
we removed prankster because we decided it was a flavor interest, not a class.

We removed sniper because we realized it's either a weapon choice or an interest, not a subclass.

But now we've figured out what we should have done, an we're working on creating the thing it would be a flavor to, and then making sure we don't already have it somewhere else.

>>33955635
Well menace isn't about making contraptions... its more about using underhanded tricks... I was only making mention of science fair projects as like just a flavor of menace... (Maybe like a saboteur class? a kid thats good with messing with contraptions....) That said its a lot of brainstorming... I think we can drop the Building traps part of the menace... and leave it as just using traps (could be pranks could be something else) and long range weapons.

You are right the zig zaggery could be problematic.

>>33955652
Hoagie P Gilligan is a tinker.

He build weapons, builds vehicles, builds gadgets.

How would this concept be different?

>>33955671
So, not a builder of traps necessarily, but a Rogue. The sneak attack-y type.

Yeah, a guy a while back suggested a creeper as a sneaky type, but this seems better.

>>33955635
I'd say the difference is practicality, like a Tinkerer would defeat a group of delinquents by building a gatling gun that shoots pencils(so Direct Damage), while a Menace would use an El Mungo Stink Bomb to stun the jerks, just like Big Bro taught him(Indirect Stat Damage)

>>33955686
It doesn't really fit under Nerd though. I could see it as a Weirdo subclass maybe. We could move Cheaters under Nerd.

>>33955731
It depends if we consider Nerd as social outcast who is good at something, as compared to just social outcast. Do Nerds Cheat? or do Weirdos Cheat?

>>33955731
that is a possibility

Meh a Cheater strikes me as someone who uses imagination to one up anything... rather than just INT based things, which could be the implication if we swap Menace and Cheater around.

>>33955731
No, it's totally a nerd.

It's all about out thinking your opponent.

>>33955726
so tactical debuffers?

Not even necessarily using pranks?
Yeah. works for me.

Let's acid test it.

Can all kinds of interests be applied as flavor?

>>33955798
well Pranks would be the primary way(since that's somewhat iconic to the Archtype), although I'm sure a Menace would have other means of doing so(since they'd probably be the most athletic and social Nerd Sub-Class at the cost of being not quite as smart as the other Nerds)

>>33955842
I can't think of any listed in the document that couldn't be used as flavor

Instead of Menace couldn't be something like Mad Scientist.
Sounds more kid like and nerdish

>>33955842
Question 2. Does it overlap with any existing class?

Question 3. Is it something all other classes should have access to, or is it a special role?

File: home-alone-fire.jpg.gif (505 KB, 500x240)

505 KB GIF

I think I'm starting to grasp the concept.

>>33955855
Mad Scientist was an early idea but again it limits the flavor to just that... Science. And there are more to nerds than just science.

The way I see it you can have a Mad Scientist Flavored Menace for the whole making chilisauce waterbaloons flavored as firebombs, Or a Supervillain themed Menace Professor Chaos anyone?, or standard Dennis style menace.

>>33955853
Okay, let's discuss calling it prankster.

can you think of ways other classes could use pranks as a flavor?

Improviser
MacGyver
Troubleshooter
???

>>33955929
Prankster implies someone that likes causing trouble and getting people in trouble or embarassed... which can make it work as flavor.

A Rowdy Prankster kid, that seems to fight in ways just to make other kids look foolish.

A Dreamer Prankster who loves causing trouble, would probably have an imaginary friend like Bendy.

>>33955855
the Tinker kinda covers that role, the Menace meanwhile is in many respects the Bard of the Nerd Sub-Classes in that he's more athletic and social but isn't quite as smart(for example a Tinker isn't social enough to realize how building a 1/100th scale working model of Pompeii for the Science Fair is going to piss off most of the other students, while the Menace is social enough to be at least somewhat discrete in who he targets with his pranks)

>>33955913
yeah the kid from Home Alone is a prime example of a Menace(Bart Simpson is another)

>>33955929
well a Bully could prank someone with the old Hurtz Doughnut routine(Physical), and a Gossip could prank someone by telling them that someone likes them and they should do something that ends up embarrassing them(Social), while a Menace will do it in a way that has aspects of both, like chucking a two-month old carton of milk at them or trapping them in a Rube-Goldberg machine that ends with them hanging from the flag-pole in their underwear(Temporary Stat Debuffs)

>>33955997
yeah, okay so it does.

Which means pranks remains an interest not a class name.

Which means yeah, prankster doesn't work, it needs a broader name.

And menace.. seems weird.

>>33955958
this guy was... half there I guess?
Nothing implies debuffing though.

>>33956041
Instead of menace then, which you normally don't see a nerd doing, can't he be crafty? witty?

>>33956047
>Nothing implies debuffing though.
I thought we were talking about setting traps like >>33955913 and >>33956006

>>33956041
>yeah the kid from Home Alone is a prime example of a Menace(Bart Simpson is another)

If you're looking for a class name, how about Brat? That's where Bart got his name.

>>33956072
are those not debuffs?


BRAT! Brat works.

>>33956047
it's not the best name but it works as it homages the two who basically created the archetype(the American and British versions of Dennis the Menace)

>>33956069
while it's not a perfect fit in the Nerd grouping it is a sub-class that would definitely be MNT focused over PHY or SOC(and while IMN is important it's not all-encompassing like it would for a Weirdo Sub-Class

>>33956097
>>33956105
yeah Brat is probably best

>>33956097
Dennis the Menace is a brat
Bart is a Brat
Home Aone kid is a brat.

it works.

>>33956097
That rascal

>>33956170
Actually Rascal works better than brat.

>>33956170
>>33956182
yeah even better cause Brat is kinda negative when you think about it, but Rascal can have positive leanings

>>33952385
>inb4 saves as jpeg

>>33956182
>>33956196
Oh alright sweet.

So that's it with the classes?

>>33956196
>a person and especially a young person who causes trouble or does things that annoy people
>a cruel or dishonest man
>a mean, unprincipled, or dishonest person
>a mischievous person or animal

>>33956221
yeah, but brat can only be taken sort of negatively.

Meanwhile if you look at rascal under the "mischievous person" definition, it can be just lighthearted mischief.
Brat is what you call people you don't like.
Rascal can be that, but can also be endearing.

Possible qoute idea for the cheater...
"No! Sword attacks don't work on me because... I'm invincible! Because... Mann-o-machines son! (Or something else if that other thing is too referance-y)" - Cheaty McCheatface AKA Chester Aldrin being a big fat cheating cheater who cheats again.

>>33957296
"What?! No that didn't hit! You totally missed!" - Little Jimmy Rutherford after clearly being hit with a laser, for the fourth time.

I'm a bit stuck in Mastermind's ability.

So far it's

All According to Plan! - Grants him and allies bonus stats with Imagination (?)

DeltaAlpha720MamaBird Formation -

>>33957375

Rename all according to plan as Leadership.

I vote that be called "all according to plan."

Fake being Xanatos.

Tommy Pickles - Buddy (supportive of the others, especially chuckie, who needed constant reassurance and help. Yes, Buddies can still be leaders. It's about how you lead.)

Chuckie Finster - KIA (Well, I dunno, Tobby, I think...)

Phil & Lil - Rowdies

Angelica - Sassy Gossip (silver tongued liar and caller of names. high social standing by putting others down.)

Kimi - ??? (I honestly don't remember enough of her.)

>>33957670
chuckie's little sister? Got adopted after the movie.
Which is why I barely remember her.

>>33957357
The "for the fourth time" is what sells it for me. It's not a one off "Nu uh!" or little dispute, the kid is doing it constantly.

>>33959427
Oh god, what if a "spell" is setting up two enemy kids for an positive feedback Yeah/Nuh loop, as a distraction?

>>33952891
I suggest using "Icons" like the ones already in the existing fluff text, but just giving examples of them showing off vs some random kid(s) you might expect to be giving them trouble or gaining their ire.

>>33959526
Did you read the whole thing? We kinda decided on that.

>“Lemme at ‘em!” - Tommy ‘Two Hit’ Touchet

>As Two-Hit took a second to catch his breath, his eyes darted around the chaos of the battlefield, looking for his next target. ‘Ah sweet,’ he thought with a smirk, ‘there’s a good one.’ Two-Hit had been eyeing the big guy the whole fight, waiting for a chance to take him one-on-one. It wouldn’t be any fun if someone got in the way! He ducked as a stray shoe flew past his head (a year ago, it would have hit him, but he’d gotten used to spotting incoming projectiles out of the corner of his eye), and darted towards the big lummox. Gripping his granddad’s old Louisville Slugger, Two-Hit dug his heels in and twisted his waist, just like Coach taught him. A stadium full of fans cheered in Two-Hit’s head as the bat connected with its mark. The big guy crumpled, hitting the ground with a satisfying “thud.” ‘Well,’ thought Two-Hit as he picked up the big guy’s cardboard sword, ‘it wasn’t much of a fight, but at least I got another trophy to add to the shelf!’

>>33959981
>“So what’s it going to be, nerd? Your money or my fist in your face?” - Harold Bradford, now three dollars richer after negotiations with a nerd.

>“Didn’t mom ever tell you not to hit a girl?” Justine said as Harold hoisted Cassie up by the back of her suspenders. “No,” grunted Harold, “and you better shut yer yap or you’ll be next.” He dug around in the girl’s pockets before pulling out two dollars and three dimes. “That’s it? You better have more next time or it’ll hurt a lot more!” he said before tossing her to the ground, and laughing as she scampered away in tears. Justine opened her mouth to say something again, but was silenced by a loud “THWACK!” as a rubber band smacked against the back of her head. Harold turned to see Craig Thatcher, the weasely coward from two blocks over, reloading his homemade rubber band gun. “Hey!” Harold shouted. “You stupid nerd, I am gonna break your big, ugly nose for hurting my sister!” By the time Craig finished reloading, he looked up just in time to see Harold charging straight at him. The resulting black eye lasted Craig two weeks, and it took him twice as long to glue all the pieces of his rubber band gun back together.

>>33960970
Yes- imagination.

I'm too drowsy right now to contribute ideas but keep up the good work /tg/, this shit is golden.

I think we need a new name for the Imaginary Best Friend; it's the only name that describes a class feature, rather than the kid himself.

>For examples of the Kidpunk aesthetic and ideas on enemies/stories, check out the following:
>Codename: Kids Next Door
>Ed, Edd n Eddy
>Dexter’s Laboratory

Help me fill this list. Not sure what counts and what doesn't. I'm tempted to include Rugrats and Foster's Home (I know it's not really an example, but it defines the Imaginary Friend Kid pretty well)

>>33961302
Captain Underpants and Clerance also work, as does Calvin and Hobes.

>>33961302
Home Alone, cause the kid builds all sorts of stuff.

Wow there's been four threads of this already?? God I love you /tg/

My favorite thing about KND and a lot of the shows we've been talking about was the overarching concept of "The Code." The rules that every kid lived by and held sacred. No matter what trouble you got into, or what gangs you were fighting with, no child could break the code. The reason why I liked Numbah 1 so much back then was probably because he was the Paladin of the Code. Would that be the kidpunk parallel of religion or faith, or more of just a universal law that governed a kids alignment?

>>33961616
Oh, I like this idea. We needed more concrete mechanics for gaining or losing Social Standing Points; this could be exactly what we need.

Hmmm, you know I just realized we can't use the term "party" to refer to a group of kids. A party is what they go to for cake and balloons and stuff. A group of PCs should therefore be called a Club.

>>33961872
Club or Gang works. I'm not sure it'll come up in the guide itself.

>>33961616
No no no no no no no. We don't need alignment anywhere near this game. PIP/SS is as far as it has to go.

>>33961302
Some episodes of South Park work.
>Good Times With Weapons
>Fellowship of the Return of The Two Towers
>Black Friday Trilogy
>The Stick of Truth.
Half tempted to include things like Mr. Hankie Episodes or Towlie, just cause... Long story short its either kids pretending so hard to be serious or adults, and adults being stupidly childish, otherwise.

>>33962893
I think it's second. Whole town made out of immature, childish, impulsive man(and women)child so it's affects whole world.

>>33962893
>>33963304
>Long story short its either kids pretending so hard to be serious or adults, and adults being stupidly childish, otherwise.

Can't remember the epsiode name but the one where they were playing cops and get recruited by the actual South Park police to bust up a drug ring is a good example of the former becoming the latter.

>>33962893
I definitely think "Good Times With Weapons" and The Stick of Truth are classic kidpunk.

>>33961302
Also add: Costume Quest and Calvin and Hobbes.

I put Imaginary Friend Kid in as a temp; we have Tough Kid, so it's not unprecedented, but I'd still like a better name if we can think of one.

>>33965197
Loner could be a nice shorter name, but it could be a background trait/reputation (That kid is a loner) could apply to a lot of classes.

Seems about right, although I'd argue Gretchen was more of a Tinkerer than a Know-It-All. She wasn't a ruiner of fun, she was an inventor and a bookworm.

okay guys so if I wanted a character who would swindle other kids out of there money or toys?

>>33966861
I'd say Rascal, Bully, or Cheater, with some sort of interest maybe in Scams.

>>33966930
Maybe also Gossip?

>>33966586
Welcome back, original OP. What do you think of the RPG?

>>33966795
Yeah, I wasn't really sure about that either. I figured Gretchen fits the mechanics of the Know-It-All better, even if she isn't douchey about knowing way more than everyone else.

>>33966861
Interest:Scams or maybe Interest:Cash would fit better.

I think Eddy might be a Rascal or Cheater with Interest:Cash

>>33966989
Gossip is social combatant, slinging insults and spreading rumors. I'd say... hm, Eddy would probably be a Cheater in terms of class. Rascal is about laying Home Alone booby traps, Bully is about brute strength, and Cheater is about changing the rules as they go along to make sure they come out on top. Cheater definitely sounds like Eddy, with Interest:Scams and Interest:Candy

>>33967083
I think Interest:Candy doesn't quite fit. Candy is just his goal, not really how he sees the pretend world. Interest:Cash is more like it, the scams comes from how Interest:Cash flavors the Cheater - he cheats to get cash.

>>33967106
Interest:Candy sounds more like someone would fight with a giant lollipop as a weapon, or throw chewing gum as a ranged attack, or blow a bubblegum bubble as a shield et cetera.

I'm thinking cheater could be some chubby kid who drew pecks on himself to say he's "Inderstable" But I'm not sure if i can make that come across easy.

Otherwise I was thinking of channeling something like palidin Butters for buddy, not sure what to do for gossip other than some gossiping gal.

TLDR; Could use some ideas for the last three.

Paladin Butters is a good Buddy.

Cheater could be like pic related. Or perhaps he's holding a d6, which we can see has six dots on every visible side?

As for gossip, maybe a kid calling another kid a stupid dumbhead.

>>33967530
>I'm thinking cheater could be some chubby kid who drew pecks on himself to say he's "Inderstable" But I'm not sure if i can make that come across easy.
I dunno that idea makes it seem like he's a tough class like the Jocks... Plus the idea of drawing muscles on makes you stronger seems true believer-y.

I'd say think Ninja Cartman or Eddy or >>33967601 for the cheater.

>>33967625
It needs to be visible that he's a cheater. Ninja Cartman was a great example of a cheater, but it isn't easy to visualize. Having an obviously rigged prop like a d6 with six on all sides is visual, it instantly conveys "this guy is cheating."

>>33967698

Broderick "Buddy" Budson

>>33968678
yeah cookies good idea

>>33968687
I think Buddy's supposed to be a girl.

>>33968687
Bestie?

But who's to say girls can't be buddies? I call plenty of girls Buddy or Pal or Friend.

>>33968709
>>33968715

I mean, is there a female equivalent of the NAME Buddy? As in a person's nickname?

>>33968709

D'oh

I put Brendon "Buddy" Broderick in as his name. Good?

>>33968627
maybe keep the cookies, but with the gloves instead of oven mitts?

Indeed it is. You're doing god's work, anon.
Now to figure out a way to visually convey Gossip with only one person.

one of those ones that slides out sideways so you can use the keyboard

>>33969143
>>33969232
depends on if she's going to be drawn talking or texting. keyboard phone if texting, flip phone if talking

>>33969267
I was half thinking of some kid with a big ol' brick phone/walkie talking whispering stupid rumors into it.

>"News flash! Sally Watkins has poobrains. Repeat. Sally Watkins has poobrains."

A texty cellphone always struck me as a teenagery or tween-y thing to have.

good point. although kids are getting cell phones pretty young these days. Maybe texting on a flip phone then? Like her parents got her a cheap go-phone with limited minutes but unlimited text

From the IRC chat:
>idea for a boss battle in a sample campaign: a King Bully, a 13-14 year old who has been held back several years. Basically he should be treated like a dragon, he smokes cigarettes as a breathe-fire attack, right down to having a hoard of lunch money

if he's a bully the sketch should be blue, unless you're not planning on have that showing at all when it's complete

>>33969673
He's supposed to be like a boss version of a bully from what I can tell. Sorta like the mean teacher and Crazy Cat lady doodles.

>>33969501
Keep up the good work by the way.

>>33969708
yeah, just sayin Nerds are green so he should either be blue to convey that he's a Jock or some color that's not already used for one of the classes to convey that he's a boss

>>33969568
KSSHH Jimmy Rutherford is a nerd, over KSSSH

>>33969708
Yeah, but I thought the bad guys were orange, like the teacher and the ¡LUCHADOR! were?

I'll switch it to orange. I grabbed the wrong color.

Wonderful. Conveys the Gossip perfectly. I love the vaguely mean look on her face, she looks precisely like she's saying mean things.

"NO, new kid! Don't ever go under the jungle gym! That's where King Petey Fleming lives! He's the biggest, meanest, dumbest kid in the fifth grade. You do NOT want to catch his attention, new kid. Just ask Little Bobby Buckler. When he gets out of the hospital, that is.

>>33970071
I totally missed that.

Fucking gold.

>>33970237

>>33969953
Yes. This is the true face of social terror.

Thread's dying. Someone archive and start a new one?

>>33969953
I made her gossiping about two of the other Iconics in her quote. Someone else can feel free to refine it though. I'm not much of a writefage.

>>33970305
Randall Fuchfeiss is a joke name, ya goober.

>>33959999

What makes a Bully different from a Tough Kid is that the latter usually has something to protect. Hide it or not, nothing brings out truer colors than seeing a Prankster about to launch Bucky Fisherton's bowl into the stratosphere.

>>33961302

Recess? The wealth of urban legends of that show might make for some neat adventure hooks.

I'd suggest Hey Arnold! but that show plays a kid's life a lot more realistically.

>>33970483
The idea was to demonstrate that even when an enemy wants to focus on another target, the bully commands attention.

Also NEW THREAD: >>33970535

>>33970305
>>33970339
Either way the idea works. We can replace Fuchfeiss with whatever real last name he gets.

Plus there is something cute about the Rascal and Tattler being all Crush-y on eachother, even if its a mean rumor.

>>33970597
I also like the idea of the Gossip having a secret crush on Buddy, a la Helga -> Arnold
Who is the Gossip gossiping with? None of the other Iconics seem like they'd be interested.
