What system would you use to run a digimon rpg?
homebrew
>>45510453
How would you emulate the feel with your own rules? Can you think of any MUST HAVE features?
>>45510438
Monsters and Other Childish Things.
>>45510438
A Vita
>>45510496
Good suggestion: since Digimon power levels are absurd though, I was gonna suggest d02.
Not a typo. Your Hat of D02 Know No Limit. D02 is a coin based RPG where the rules require players add things to their character sheet while the GM isn't looking and you slam fistfulls of coins down on a table.
>>45510438
FATE or something *World inspired.
No way in hell you'd want to homebrew all the stats for everything.
Though, thinking about it maybe... refluffed Battle Century G? You could build your 'mon like a mech, the pilot is the tamer, and it's got all kinds of cliche anime tropes built in.

I feel slightly dumb that I am only now realizing that the one on the left has a fur-fagged Jojo for a right hand.
>>45510785
what
>>45511707
That is exactly the feel of a good game of d02.

Here's the newest version of a Digimon system.
>>45511698
>TFW you desperately want to run or be a part of a Digimon Campaign but no one in your group gives a shit about Digimon
>>45512277
Make them watch Tamers.
>>45512285
Or play Detective.
>>45510438
FATAL
I always wanted to run a game set in the Digital world that focuses on how Digimon society functions sans human intervention. Players would be Digimon and kinda go through the life cycle. Character creation would involve them being fresh/in-training just hatching and forming a basic party dynamic in character before they go on to be rookies and getting shit started proper.Maybe even introducing human child partner NPCs halfway through, maybe not
It doesn't help that I want something reasonably crunchy too. Which would be borderline impossible.
>>45510438
My eternal problem with Digimon is that the kids can't really do anything. Even in Pokemon, the children at least shout orders.
The Tamers system works best, where the kids get cards (They ignored this after a while, but it was still an interesting concept) and the Digimon fought it out. I can't help but think about Ryuuki's card system, where cards gave you stuff you could use on your enemy. It was pretty crudely-done there, but there's a game in that.
It's sort of like how the WIXOSS anime reduced the card game down to a one-on-one duel with cards acting as each exchange of blows.
>>45513339
>Ignored after a while
Yeah, at which point the kids can literally FUSE with their partners and directly join in the fight?
And Tamers/Digidestined DO tell their partners what do do.
>>45513339
Didn't that kid from "Whatever the fuck it's called squad" punch digimon on the regular?
>>45513412
Data Squad.
And yeah, he literally had to punch the enemy digimon before he was allowed to digivolve his Agumon.
Every. Single. Time.

I'd be willing to run a Digimon game on Discord.
Today, even. 6:00PM, -06:00UTC.
I'm thinking I can run it using Sorcerer; just reskin demons as digimon.
What do you guys think?
>>45514333
Today is too soon, especially with a new system and new software, but I appreciate the offer.
Shall we exchange contacts?
>>45512277
Isn't Tamers for if you want turning your friends into furries?
>>45515382
Tamers is also the one with digital cthulhu or some shit.
>>45514970
Sure.

I would use Hero System. It's rules are numerous as hell but you can build any shit you like, it can also represent the power gap between the evolutions: "below average human" for rookies up to "I would kick Superman's ass" for mega.
I'd love to participate in a Digimon TTRPG. The franchise has lots of potential but none of the video games truly realise it. (Only the original Digimon World comes close, but it's kinda dated.)
Oh well, at least my Pendulum Cycle 9 arrived a few days ago so now I am as close to an IRL Digimon tamer as you can get.
>>45515382
Not if you're German.
>Renamon's VA was male
>forever immunised to Renamon furfaggotry
It's a great series overall, you should watch it if you haven't yet.
>>45516176
Have you played the new Digimon Story game? It's pretty damn fun so far.
>>45518453
I think he's implying that the core premise of Digimon, forging a close bond and raising them, isn't really reflected that well in the Story series. They're good games, but not what he's looking for.
>>45518550
Ah, I see what you mean.
Fair enough.
>>45515723
D-Reaper. Digimon has a lot of shut like that. Like the antagonist of the first movie launching ICBNMs to kill a kid because he felt neglected. Or the BBEG from tea second generation that was going to destroy the world but his weakness was the power of hope. Or Lucifermon from Frontier.
>>45519521
Don't forget the bullshit in Data Squad involving the villain trying to reset the world.
>>45512082
How new is new? I remember keeping up with this game a while back but don't see it pop up very often anymore. It dead?
>>45518453
I'm still waiting for it to arrive in the mail, I bought the physical Asia version.
While I look forward to it and expect to have a good time, I don't think the Story games' typical JRPG mechanics are a fulfilling Digimon experience.
The World games, being closed to the v-pets, are more appealing to me. Too bad we aren't getting Decode in English, and Re:Digitalise is very short and way too story-driven; here's hope for -next 0rder- to be better.
Either way it's pretty restrictive and I'd appreciate a TTRPG by virtue of offering a lot more liberties, both when it comes to world-building and to having an adventure.
>>45510438
The RPG on the Vita/PS4 is pretty good.

I'd say less than half a year. I don't know if it's the same guy working on the system now, but he has an active blog.
http://digimon-digital-adventures.tumblr.com/
>>45510438
It would only work in vidya or online.
>>45521546
while I'm seeing some nice ideas, for the main blog to be set on tumblr....is there no way for people to comment?

What do you do if you're the GM and a player wants to have a Renamon?
>>45513339
the kid's feelings are literally digivolution fuel.
Just treat them like outside mecha pilots in any /m/ system
>>45513339
someone needs to read the V-Tamer manga
>>45523599
There's a forum too, but it isn't too active, but it seems like the creator regularly checks and talks to anyone who comes by.

>>45512082
There's a newer version with some slight changes.
The guy working on it is a different guy from the original, but it seems like he won't be able to update it for a while since his adobe acrobat subscription ended and he's a moralfag or something.
>>45525622
I honestly wouldn't care, but as soon as the player starts shit I'd just have it take undigivolve and take a different rookie
>>45512082
I skimmed through that
>temporary digivolution
meh
Are there also rules for permanent evolution?
>>45531938
Yeah, basically if you get enough experience point as a digimon you can let the digimon be permanently evolved in the next stage. You can houserule to better match the setting as well.
>>45532527
Ah, neat.
