You have to run a campaign based on the last anime you watched or the last manga/LN you read, whichever's the most recent. How does it turn out?
For me it's Re:Zero, so it's pretty easy to adapt in terms of setting. The revival ability would be pretty difficult to work in though. perhaps I could make loads of dungeons full of death traps, rooms with incredibly overpowered monsters etc. and make sure that the entire party revives at the start of the dungeon if one of them dies. That way they can either think up a plan to defeat the overpowered monsters/death traps or aim to avoid those rooms altogether and try a different path.
This should go without saying but courteous use of spoilertags is appreciated.

High level 3.5 campaign where the PC's stomp on everything I can throw at them?
Bentley Russell
>Dungeon Meshi Welp, that will be easy.
Noah Cook
That would honestly be pretty boring, Re:Zero only works because Subascrub is a powerless douchebag, respawn checkpoints as a power for an RPG party would make the only challenge how many goes they're willing to give it before they get bored.
Angel Cooper
Berserk... low fantasy, humans only, martials only... My group would either 100% hate it or love it.
Adrian Russell
> The Lucifer and Biscuit Hammer
Turns out horrible. The premise could worn well as a game concept, but even if the Players are good enough role players to do it justice, there is no way that I personally could ever come close to matching it in quality. Especially since I have no idea how I'd deviate from it, so as not to make it a total rehash, while keeping the overall premise.
I mean, I suppose it could work well, as it's own self contained thing, but I don't think I could ever be satisfied with it. Because I'd constantly be comparing it to the source material, that I hold in the highest esteem.
Xavier Hughes
Eh, you wouldn't really need to have the revival stuff for a Re:Zero campaign. That's the driving plot device in the anime, but it's really a unique thing for the main character, not something defining for the setting more broadly.
You could just as easily use the setting as everyone else experiences it, with the succession crisis and witch cult and whatnot but no revival.
Owen Walker
Mahou Shoujo Ikusei Keikaku. Re-skin Shinobigami, run a battle royale scenario. Easy as pie.

>Regalia heavily reskinned adeva I guess
Jayden Ortiz
Start at level 20. The party wizard botches a plane shift and they end up at an E6 world. But they keep their level and everything they have. Have fun!
Amanchu. A slice of life about a girl whose hobby is scuba diving and another girl who'll prolly get into scuba diving too because she's gay for scuba girl.
Tbh I have absolutely no idea on how to proceed about this. Maybe the PCs live on the coast town and all dungeons are underwater and guarded by powerful spells that will only allow passage after they complete a slice of life objective. Such as, "confess your love", "become student council president", "successfully waifu the teacher". No combat whatsoever, a comfy campaign.
Jayden Smith
>Heroic Legend of Arslan
Fuck yeah, just what I wanted. I've been thinking about doing something like that, actually. That animu is a pretty good inspirational material for that type of low fantasy heroic campaign.
Elijah Lee
I... I would actually run that. I would run the shit out of that.
Not only would I let them have anything goes, aside from book of nine, I would tell them to build a stronghold. Make a rough map of it and everything. Give them a huge budget to play with.
The reason for no book of nine is because the locals might have a few abilities from that. The "martial arts" seen in the anime
Aiden Nelson
Why even have dungeons and shit as some token nod towards bog-standard adventure stuff if you're going to take out combat and all?
Ryder Jackson
Oh hell the fuck yes.
Probably use the Gumshoe system splitting things up into distinct cases with shades of the inevitable terrible conspirasy being cast over many of them. Probably steal some notes from Adeptus Evangelion and swap out a different twist than the actual show's.
Ian Torres
>Fairy Tale
Should be easy to run in PF, the party is a freshly minted bottom tier guild who need to start building reputation and recruiting NPC guild members so they can someday become a top ranked guild. They'll need to work hard and be careful not to piss off the magic councile.
Jaxson Martin
I would probably run a game centered around the ADPolice, and not Knight Saber-esque hardsuits. At that point though, it would probably just be like running a Cyberpunk 2020 game where everyone plays members of MAX-TAC.

Nope, they'd all be caught within the first five minutes of game starting. I wouldn't let it end there, of course, but my players are bad at self-control when it comes to sex jokes.

Moribito.
So a vanilla DnD campaign, more or less.
Aaron Moore
AAAAAAAAAAA
Jacob Flores
I love the idea of restricting Book of Nines to the locals, it does fit what happens in novel, and the players building their own great tomb is genius. I.. would love to play something like that too.
I got the idea of lv20 x E6 because, if you take a close look at it, the 'system' of Overlord is literally 3.5e multiplied by 5, so that level 20 becomes level 100 and 6, 30. I've yet to see a non-Nazarick character that is higher than level 21, and even if we don't know Evileye and party's level, they already struggled an awful lot against level 51 Entoma - and that was a 5 v 1.
Good question, user, I admit that was a tad bit retarded on my part. I think I did that mainly because my players are fueled by treasure, but it'd be a much better idea to just start the campaign while already giving each of them a SoL objective to try and complete. Bonus fun if they are conflicting objectives.
Carson Mitchell
>JJBA
I'm already running a campaign for that. Last session the party faced off against two stand users with explosion based powers. They rolled so horribly it was almost a TPK
Justin Peterson
While I think lethality should be an issue in a JJBA game, most stand powers should be more subtle.
Jason Walker
>Kumo Desu Ga, Nani Ka? Well, I guess it might work if you take some of the unaccounted-for classmates and run adventure shenanigans for a while. Until either Shiraori comes to plant spiders in your brain and/or Sensei seals your skills away because elves.

Shokugeki No Soma
IRON CHEF THE CAMPAIGN. Is there a system for it?
Austin Harris
>DanMachi
Oh fuck yes. Classless system, slow as shit levelling progression, vanilla setting gives players leeway to create their character, plus all the gods who haven't been introduced gives the gm and the players some room to flesh out the setting.
downsides? slow as SHIT levelling progression (a year to hit level 2? okay), plus the actual adventuring process is by definition very railroad-y.
I really want to do this.
David Sanchez
Most of the stand users I've thrown at the party had more sensible powers, I just thought it would be fun to have something simple for a change.
Jayden Garcia

Kevin Brooks
Most Stands in Part 3 are fairly simple. It's only later that things started to get weird.
Adam Young
The last thing someone would expect in a jojo game would be something that made sense
Juan Clark
For me it would be One Piece and I am already doing it. Just use GURPS and use GURPS Martial Arts + GURPS Powers + GURPS Lowtech and I basically had everything I needed in terms of ships and weapons and figting styles and had the perfect toolkit to build the Devil Fruits and Magic through willpower (magical martial arts like slicing fire, launched blades, mirage tempo as well as the three colors of haki).
It's really really fun to just be a pirate and drink and loot and fight and fuck over the world government.
Anthony Wilson
I'd really like to
Jaxon Garcia

>LN LNs are too retarded to be read. Mahjong manga wouldn't be particularly interesting to base a game on, so fuck that.
Joseph Brooks
You know /a/ only pretended to hate Bebop to keep newfags out, and that only in recent years has the userbase become so fucking retarded that they actually dislike it, right? So which are you? If it's the first you're on the wrong board mate, if it's the second you're just a dumb memester or a creature of actually bad taste.
Austin Bailey
Cowboy Bebop is completely average. It's only fellated so much because it's the first anime of many people.
Juan Collins
What I watched: Tanaka-kun is always listless
How it's run: It isn't. We all just get together and nap.
Aaron Cooper
I'd recommend Demongate High, but that's pretty niche. The rules focus a lot on combat superpowers and demons, but the premise alone gives some good opportunity for roleplay.
Angel Cooper
Quality game setup, 10/10 would play

>D.Gray Man Pretty good, the entire series lends itself to adventuring.
Ryder Flores

Shit. I don't remember. Berserk I think? No adaptation required at all, just grab Riddle of Dickstab or ACKS and have at it.
Evan Edwards
>Shingeki no Bahamut I make sure that the first few sessions are incredible and then drop the ball and revel in mediocrity for a while.
Caleb Bennett
Anime: Arslan Senki -Group of adventures hired by the Crown Prince to retake the kingdom. Adventures ensue in low fantasy Manga: Relife -Hard to do, maybe drama or slice of life? Each of the players would be subjects of the project but wouldn't know that the rest of the players were LN: Mahouka -Players are students of a magical high school. Politics, drama, and action hijinks ensue. The magic system would make for some intresting play.
Benjamin Martinez
I don't think you've seen average. Bebop isn't the absolute glorious masterpiece a lot of people make it out to be, but it's a genuinely good show.
Henry Ramirez
>My Hero Academia
Mutants and Masterminds focusing on super hero school, I guess.

Boku no Hero just begs to be a supers campaign. Needs more enemy factions though imo
Elijah Bell
>Last Mango I read I just finally started reading Berserk. So that would be a great campaign I think.
>Last Animu The last one I finished was JJBA, and then I started JJBA:SC. Those would make for a fun game I think. Other than that I'm also (re)watching Bakemonogatari, not sure how that would be as a game. And another Animu I watch is Moribito. That would definitely be nice to play too, I think. Hm, thought I'd have some Moribito webms, couldn't find them though.

I would totally love to do this if I could think of a system that isn't GURPS to run this in.
David Kelly
I agree. People need to get more comfortable with rpgs that have no combat, no questing, no dungeons, etc. If you can't enjoy RP that's based in roleplay heavy grounds like politics, dealing with social situations, etc. you might as well just play vidya rpgs. Good RP is like playing pretend + video games + improv theater.
