"Hey guys, so I want to run a game where you're all Japanese High School Students"

Is that why we haven't seen Part 2 yet? Fuck, I really wanted to see what Kevin Murphy's part was

My group did this. We ended up killing god and our characters having a lot of trauma.

What kind of stand power would a teenage school shooter have?
Unless the shooter is a young Hol Horse.

are there any magic, robots, demons etc?

literally me last week. i hold absolutely no regrets as my players get into school-pride-driven fistfights as delinquent gangs.

it's good to know what you want and have people on your wavelength who aren't autistic cretins or fetishists.

Whoops, that was only supposed to be for the Horus Heresy RP thread. My bad.

If anime has taught me anything, it's that that doesn't really limit what the campaign could be like at all.

Jesus christ the autism

Okay, let's do it. I look forward to see how you do it.

Wait a minute, I think I get why you used the pic. Because nothing would be at stake?

user, the whole world was at stake. The Ghost Wizard lied.

Anime != Harem Shounen

>"Hey guys, so I want to run a game where you're all Japanese High School Students"

Dear journal....

keep telling yourself that.

What? I told you, I know that for myself, for I've watched almost all of Miyazaki's works, most of Shinkai's, and lots of other anime, unlike the ignorant hateful fags like you who seriously believe the meme tier bullshit.

>sample

user, quit it. It just isn't worth it. He's either an idiot that'll juts keep denying it, or a troll trying to get a rise out of you. I can think of 20 ways he'll try and bullshit you, #1 of which is claiming that Spirited Away is about a reverse harem in a monsterboy bathhouse.

Slice of Life I can handle, but at what risk? What are the stakes?

The usual stakes of any RPG, only moreso. On one end the DM may become to Edgy, and do a Game of Death. On the other, you may have to Depart Magical Realm. If you manage to win, however, you'll have on of the most fun, over the top games you'll ever play in.

I'd give it a shot

Here's a thought: maybe you don't have to play in this game. Maybe you can just not participate.

I mean, is the GM forcing you or anything?

I'd play in a Joker Quest setting

There are no stakes...

I dunno that it's autism, but it sure is degeneracy. An appropriate bait reply for a bait topic.

I don't think the reply was bait though.

>currently running a game just like that
>OP isn't in any game and is just shitposting

I am sorry but one of the very best games I've ever played was a mix of Tactical Waifu and Legend of The Wulin, using Strike Witches character generator supplement to the Dive into the Sky to make a party of underaged high-school girls.
Sure, It lasted two sessions but still

>Be literally doing this to make a friend happy

I was thinking of something more in line with Aerosmith actually

>No way fag

That's the type of anime Veeky Forums is into, unfortuneantly

>I don't play RPGs but if I did I'd take it more seriously than all of you!

Violet Evergarden is a new one this season and it's not harem or shonen.

It's mostly about writing letters, so far.

I'm already in a MAID campaign. Why not?

Okay but what if we’re exceptional students and then we solve murder mysteries while trying to escape from a crazy robot bear?

Yeah, have the school shooter’s stand be something that makes his shit possible but isn’t a gun.
Kira would still be killing people without Killer Queen, but KQ makes cleanup a cinch, which means his real aim of living a quiet life is that much closer

Maid is fun as shit. I honestly believe playing a campaign of it should be a rite of passage in our hobby. It's a good way to expand people's view of what an RPG is "supposed" to be, especially if they've only ever played D&D.

We were dying laughing all the way through character creation.

>”hmff. You look impressed by my「Pumped up kicks」”

Now that you mentioned KQ being a complement to Kira's lifestyle and Stands are in fact a manifestation of one's soul/fighting spirit. What if the shooter's stand, whose motivation is revenge, has powers based on memories of anyone who ever pissed it's user off in the past, doesn't need to be necessarily bullying, might've been a teacher who gave him a bad grade or something, a girl who just rejected him or a chess player who defeated him on the school's tournament finals
「Pumped Up Kicks」

>Daily Life of High School Boys RPG

...

It's great because it's dumb. The whole thing just shoves at the limits of ridiculousness and the premise is so easily adaptable that you can push it to any setting where you want people to get into hijinks trying to run shit for a higher up.

Every genre is better with Japanese high school girl characters.

Oh, you're playing Panty Explosion.
I've played it a few times. It's fun for a 45 minute game.

Nothing? Nothing at stake!?

Then I, myself, shall place the World at stake!

Alright, DM.

What and what

I’d make it so that the powers do something before he kills them to somehow make the act worse.
And I’d probably use a different song just cuz I don’t like the name and power to relate. Jorge Joestar had a bunch named after movies and TV, and I liked the change of pace.

>the name and power to relate
The name doesn't relate tho, just the song. To be related it would have to be something like 「Kids With Guns」

It's been a few years, but it's like...
4-5 people playing japanese schoolgirls.
someone is randomly selected to be "the villain", someone is selected to be popular, and people decide who they're friends with. Someone is randomly gifted a psychic power that makes heads explode.
you roleplay out some scenario- like who gets to be prom queen or whatever- and everyone accumulates "stress points" throughout the scenario, until the person with Head Explosion powers pops their top.
depending on how it happens, whoever is left roleplays out the conclusion.
It's pretty fun. each game is short-lived, about 30-45 minutes or so.

I'm in a game like that right now actually. We're playing as magical girls. (Although it's set on Okinawa, and like, 90% of the party are military brats, so I don't know if they count as Japanese. The GM ended up explaining this shit away by saying that the other magical girls were slightly racist and were putting all the foreigners on the same team so they didn't have to put up with them.)

And amputee fetishism. That scene where she adjusts her prosthetics to type faster was one step away from handholding porno

Serious question - how the hell you manage to have game for 45 minutes? I can't run the simplies of simple scenarios below 3. When I'm playing, the most basic stuff takes 4-5 hours to finish

It sounds like pure undistracted roleplay, not that unreasonable to me

It seems you take games of pretend seriously. Maybe you shouldn't always do that.

Disappointed my famalams.

It’s not just pretentiously dressed asshats shouting meme words, folks.

Would like that if it's decently weaved into the plot beyond "highschool + fighty robots"
Like, the players are students in an office so run by a military state and are prepared for actual field duty, if there is a war right now is not important.
So they are also trained in infantry, vehicular and Giant fighty robot combat and the players work towards successful graduation.
then the war happens and they meet again in the same unit where they experience the horrors of war together

Okay.

Still, how.
Teach me. Seriously. I'm absolutely incapable of getting scenario between 3 hour mark, despite best attempts. And that already assumes I'm running for my "main" group, which consists of focused, experienced grogs that meet together to play first, second and last.

*below 3

Actual Japanese teenagers, or anime bullshit?

I envy your ignorance/optimism

I unironically have been wanting to do a 5e campaign where all the players are qt Japanese high school girls. I've even got some of the races/classes.
>Titty monster (-2 int and wis, +4 cha)
>Loli (-2 to physical stats, comes with Nii-San perk)
>Xmas Cake (you can add as many pts as you want to stats but they have to be taken from CHA)
>gyaru (pretty much be a tiefling)
>boyish (higher physical stats, small chest)
Anyone have any other suggestions?

Is that supposed to trigger me or something? What do you take me for, some "no fun allowed" autist? Or did you mistake me for an easily triggered SJW who thinks that the sexualization of underage girls (by Americlap law only) is somehow objectification of women?

How about fuck you? I'm going to play a genetically enhanced ninja who also happens to be a very attractive high school girl and you're gonna like it.

KyoAni can animate some damned fine semen demons if they want to.

SHIT I FORGOT 2

dont know how I'd stat these 2

>evaxephon
post thrown in the trash where it belongs

I have a persona campaign in the works, unfortunately it's gonna be a while before I can even run it, and I'm not even 100% sure what system I want to run it with. Only difference is I'm gonna make it set in an American college instead.

Good thing we're not brain damaged and my GM is someone all of us trust, that campaign will probably be fun.

I watch it solely due to the quality of animation and backgrounds. Couldn't care less about content, but it's so fucking beautiful you can watch it for the aesthetism factor alone

>Gaijin (American)
-2 INT, +2 DEX (or whatever stat decides ability with ranged weapons)
>Gaijin (German)

good idea user!
>Gaijin (Slav)

...

>>Gaijin (German)
>-2 CHA, +2 CON
That's a Slav. German would be -CHA +INT
t. Slav

>>Gaijin (French)
>-2 CON, +2 CHA
That's definitely not Frenchman. While Japanese idolize and idealize some aspects of French culture (maids being prominent example), the confrontations with reality are cruel - if fact the impression of actually seeing France in person is so bad it's recognized as medical condition (look up Paris Syndrome).

Paweł, get back to studying! Your grant in Japan is almost done, and you are shitposting on Veeky Forums

I suggest you stop trying to shoehorn everything into D&D, it's a garbage system.

What is this, a one page RPG for ants?

Paris syndrome actually happens pretty much everywhere, it's just extremely rare so Paris got more cases by the sheer volume of tourists. And even then it's like a few dozens a year at worst, for several millions tourists.
If I remember well, the city with the highest rate of Paris Syndrome cases is actually Jerusalem, for obvious reasons.

But that irrelevant anyway, since we're actually talking about the idealisation here.

>M-MUH PARIS SYNDROME
Literally a meme.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paris_syndrome
>around 20 Japanese tourists a year are affected by the syndrome
>20
>out of 6 million (with no signs of declining)
It's an overblown, meaningless meme. Especially given the reported "cases" included people who were downright delusional, including one guy who believed he was Louis XIV. It's so widely reported on because the Americans (and as a result the anglophone media in general) have a massive hateboner for France. As demonstrated by such shit as Kerry losing his bid for presidency because he looked "too French", Mitt Romney being criticized for speaking French (there's only one country where speaking a foreign language is considered a bad thing), the Economist spending years predicting that France will collapse any day now (greanvillepost.com/2014/11/18/the-economists-war-against-france-why-the-french-economy-remains-superior-to-britains/), the fallout concerning America's 2003 war of agression in Iraq et cetera et cetera. Had it happened in literally any other city in the world (and who is to say it hasn't, given the low number of like a dozen people per year) it wouldn't have been blown so far out of proportion.
>Inb4 Jerusalem syndrome
That's specifically a religious thing though, with many more reported (and legitimate) cases.

>B-B-But it's because Paris is shit and overrun with migrants
1. Paris is gentrified as fuck
2. Assuming that's the case, where's London syndrome? Rome syndrome? Berlin syndrome? They don't exist, because those cities aren't in France.

what system would you recommend, user?

FATE

I bet if Veeky Forums existed back in the day, we'd find charismatic serial killers on Veeky Forums as well.

Sure sounds fun.

>"--who have Stands"

Name something that doesn't get more exciting if you add Stands.

Invasive cavity search.

now it's a mind game, use your stand to search for the antidote to the poison inside the (Now dead) stand users cavernous branching asshole, you have 30 minutes to figure out the trick to his stand, aquire the antidote and distribute it to the affected party members before he explodes and takes with his body, the space warping affect of his inner body.
