So /tg/ how do you run your naruto rpgs?
Im looking at besm 3rd edition myself
through besm d20 is also tempting
as well as point buy systems
but they all seem to suck
especially besm which turns everyone into glass
Anything good?
>>47289980
I don't because Naruto is for faggotrons.
>>47289980
been talking with my friend for a while about me running a naruto game for him and his friends. I know a lot about naruto and they know next to nothing, so it would be a comedy game where they go along side the main story except they are all from really shitty clans with terrible powers. We are probably going to do gurps because that's what they like.
>>47290196
uh ok, but thats not really relevant
>>47289980
>>47289980
Naruto threadly reminder that in 2014, the salt was all too realand it was hilarious
>>47289980
>So /tg/ how do you run your naruto rpgs?
I run them using FATE
>>47289980
>Disregard everything post Valley of the End.
>Rename every instance if "Ninja" as "Mage"
>Okay, Sasori and Itachi are cool I guess, they can stay
>try to make Lee not be a total jobber
>have Naruto actually beat up Sasuke's bitch ass
And I just realized that I just described 75% of all Naruto Fanfic, except without the unbearable edge
>>47292995
You described maybe, MAYBE, 5%.
50% would be favorite character is a Mary Sue and 75% would be shipfics
>>47293046
Huh, I guess I must have either not read or have actively forgotten a lot of Naruto fanfics then, because I know I was on the kick for the longest time when I was younger.
Though the point stands that Naruto was a huge mess of wasted potential for what could've been a semi-decent show, but turned into shit because Kishimoto is a faggot.
I betcha, that if I took the formula, and applied the above changes, along with some renaming and had my group play through it, no one would ever tell it was Naruto
>>47289980
Don't. Play Ninja Burger instead.
>>47289980
I run a DBZ game with Hero 6e. I think it could handle Naruto. However, M&M would probably be just as good.
>>47293146
>Though the point stands that Naruto was a huge mess of wasted potential for what could've been a semi-decent show
No it doesn't because no it couldn't because it was an adaptation of a long-running manga. Even if the story had been good it would have been a shitshow of filler and QUALITY. And all of your changes are pointlessly irrelevant. The problem with Naruto is certainly nothing so stupid as your favorite character not being a jobber or Naruto actually losing to one guy, it's that the meat of everything interesting is in the setting while the story focuses on characters it refuses to develop because it's written by an autist. You could change nothing about the story other than who you use as a focus and it would be better, hell an anthology series that changes protags ever arc could do wonders for exploring the differing lifestyles and challenges of various villages.
Of course none of that helps you for doing anything /tg/ related. For that you'd first need to figure out how chakra works, then how techniques work. You'd need to determine if you were going to use a resource system or run on DRAMA like the manga, basically all the usual issues with game design but magnified because you're trying to adapt a setting with no consistent rules.
>>47289980
>>47289980
We ran our 3-year-long Naruto campaign using Naruto d20. >>47292408 The system was less shitty than BESM d20, but still pretty shit since, you know, it was d20. We managed to have fun in spite of the rules anyway.
Moral of the story: Just play FATE, man. This guy >>47292675 knows what's up.
>>47293585
>hell an anthology series that changes protags ever arc could do wonders for exploring the differing lifestyles and challenges of various villages
That actually sounds pretty bad ass. Say, you start the series with some Legend of the Galactic Heroes style political bullshit that pits one set of good guys against another set of good guys, and then you follow bits of the huge case around as a ninja world war plays out.
>>47294392
>good guys
I want no designated good guys in my story about thieves, spies, and child soldiers. Just a bunch of interesting characters doing things, sometimes noble sometimes terrible, for Kage and Country.
>>47289980
Same way I run my FATAL games.
I don't touch cancer.
>>47289980
M&M could do well.
To explain, it's a pointbuy system and you'd buy all your regular skills and junk, but in order to not run out of points you'd likely have a bunch of your ninja trikz compartmentalised as an Array, in which every additional effect only costs 1 point instead of full 20-30 but you can only use one at a time. Most of the time it's not a problem because you're only getting one attack per round and you're free to select between your megashuriken, your lightning and your fireball. Or between calling up a ton of shadowclones to spam regular shurikens and forming a rasengan (clone to help form it is just fluff).
However, you'd need to play around with PL caps and allow players to bypass them sometimes for inventive combo moves and the like.

I will never understand how people got so salty over Naruto ending up with Hinata when the NS ship sunk long before the ending.
They did see Naruto shoot Sakura the fuck down when she did her fake confession right? I don't know why they expected a recovery.
>>47294334
Jebus, you guys are stronger than I'd ever be... Sounds like you had fun though so I admire your patience.
Depending on what you want, Strike!, Savage Worlds, Mutants and Masterminds, or GURPS.
>>47301610
I thought the "NARUSAKUFAGS ON SUICIDE WATCH" was an exaggeration.
>>47289980
Try Mutants and Masterminds with a rather low point level. It tends to do the point-buy thing a good bit better than the others.
>>47301549
>There are people in there actually expecting a naruto/sasuke pairing

Great Naruto RPG.
>>47302245
In hindsight, sure you know 100% that it won't happen. Just like in hindsight it is obvious that Hitler loses WWII.
It's fiction, dude. That's subject to a single person's random whims.
>>47292616
I think it'll be a long time before I laugh so much over the course of a few days again.
>>47302530
Yeah but the author was a 40 year old japanese man. One who literally did another time skip after he finished the manga to get the main character explicitly romantically involved with anyone because he felt weird about writing romance between teenagers. In other words, fairly socially conservative.
>>47301610
ã…‹ã…‹ã…‹ã…‹ fuck he speaks English worse than I do.
>>47302193
>I thought the "NARUSAKUFAGS ON SUICIDE WATCH" was an exaggeration.
Oh no, for once that claim was an objectively accurate and completely non-exaggerated statement. The shit show was amazing, you could smell the butthurt for miles.
>>47297064
Came here to ask for this. I don't know how good it actually is, but it seems interesting, at least.
>>47301610
This. Part of what made the Great Saltstorm of 2014 so great was the delusion and denial involved that was catastrophically shattered in an explosion of misery and anal annihilation.
I imagine in the foreseeable future, only Bleach has even the potential to cause asspain on this scale again.
I just made a rules light rpg up myself. Like a page and a half of rules tops for me and 3 buddies. Stamina, chakra, agility, strength, and intelligence. All techniques use one of the 5 stats as an opposed roll. Jutsu use up your chakra. Any of the stats but stamina hits 0 and your unconscious. Stamina hits 0 your dead. I as GM get final say on what you can and can't do and who has advantage on opposed rolls.
>>47306426
Have you tested the rules out yet? How did it go if you did?
>>47307042
Been playing for like a year now. Works pretty darn good. No major problem.
>>47306249
Not One Piece? I mean if were talking bout Naruto and Bleach might as well bring up the other big name piece of shit.
>>47307157
One Piece doesn't really have shipping that I know of, the author has officially disavowed character romance in his manga IIRC.
>>47307110
How does using puppets work? Can you post the rules?
>how do you run
mostly like this
>>47307223
Huh, well alright. But even if the author disavowed romance, I can not believe there are not shippers. There are shippers for everything, EVERYTHING. It is practically a rule of the internet.
>>47307414
I ship Zoro and Robin.
>>47297064
>>47306148
The thing we were working on (and I'm surprised how this didn't make it into the article) was how each of the five main villages gets its genin trained up into chunin and jonin, because everyone knows that the formal chunin exams are just an occasional dick-measuring contest between villages.
>>47307414
>>47307223
It's from a relatively early interview
>Reader: Doesn't anyone on Luffy's crew fall in love? Will there never be a tale of on-board romance? (Sanji is an exception in this case) I'm just wondering.
>Oda: OF COURSE THEY'RE IN LOVE... WITH ADVENTURE
Which seems to either be a "no" or a non-answer depending on how you want to read it.
>>47307157
>Bleach, Naruto and One Piece have gone on for hundreds of chapters
>Meanwhile Black Lagoon is stuck on 87 because the author is a lazy shit
There is no justice in this world.
>>47289980
Didn't Naruto end up being a shitty father?
All I can say for this is just use Fate while constructing your own setting with Magic Ninjas and stuff. Avoid creating a shitty main character like the big three (Naruto, Luffy, Ichigo) that the setting revolves around, and instead make your protagonists small time grunts in a big world. Don't be afraid to have your characters reflect about living a life of eternal war, doomed to be forever the foot soldiers of a uncaring city states.
>>47308231
>Didn't Naruto end up being a shitty father?
Yes and no.
He's a great dad, he's just a great dad to everyone, so his son is jealous.
>>47308345
Dude couldn't bother to show up to his daughter's birthday.
>>47308345
>He's a great dad
Literally sent a shadow clone to his daughter's birthday party.
And destroyed the cake when the shadow clone poofed because Naruto Prime dozed off at the office.
>>47308488
>>47308533
Well shit, nevermind
>>47308488
>>47308533
Why didn't he send the Shadow Clone to do the office work baka desu senpai
as someone how forced themselves through the last 10-15 volumes of the manga, i'll admit i'm massively disappointed in the whole sasuke-sakura thing. them getting married was complete character destruction for both of them. and let's face it, it's karin's kid.
>>47310544
>let's face it, it's karin's kid.
I remember when this saltstorm started. For a while Naruto was the gift that just kept on giving
>>47310565
i know i'm a little salty, but i try not to let me cloud my view too much. it really did kill sakura's development and just came across as keep sasuke from being in love with naruto. and why does the kid literally look just like karin rather then sakura.
>>47310619
It didn't touch her development at all. Sakura's character never EVER, not once, stopped revolving around her love for Sasuke. She picked up a few other traits, but that remained her main one until the end.
And Sarada doesn't look like Karin at all aside from the glasses which Karin gave her, she looks like Sasuke who looks like Mikoto who looks like Izuna, because Kishi has a generic sameface he gives to all his female and pretty boy characters before swapping out hair and eyes and maybe adding a defining facial mark if they're lucky..
what about a high fantasy version
i like the less gritty
If I was going to run a naruto game, it'd be in Anima, Ki users only.
>>47310544
They didn't get married. We don't even know if they actually fucked. At best, he's a deadbeat dad. Which is actually exactly in line with sauske's character.
>>47311368
yeah, but it was more trying to save someone from stupid self destruction than of course i' raise your bastard and jump at your slightest whim.
>>47289980
> run a naruto rpg
I would but I've been cancer free for 3 months, don't want to risk it
Street fighter rpg hack.
Techniques became Tai, Gen, Ninj, Chakra-Control, Athetics, Ninja tools.
A lot of custom moves.
Its fun
>>47315552
No it wasn't. Sakura's love for Sasuke never had any given reason at all.
And the kid is hers.
Heroquest, because heroquest is a way better rules-lite narrative system than Fate.
>>47312625
>>47305554
>because he felt weird about writing romance between teenagers.
He feels weird writing any kind of romance.
This is the guy who said that Sakura reminds him of his wife when they were young: she never paid him any mind in school, but she was attracted to him once he became a commercially successful artist.
This is the guy who then said that Hinata is his ideal romantic interest: she always loved Naruto, even when he was a talentless, no-respect fuckup.
He and his wife actually fought over this.
>>47318465
Seriously? Source for that? Because that's fucking hilarious.
>>47318142
I'd play it. That looks more interesting than what we actually got.
>>47320219
ignore the main characters and naruto becomes a great setting.
>>47307414
Yeah, there are shippers.
At what point does it become shipping?
I always wanted Naruto to end up with Sakura, but I never posted on a forum about it, or felt particularly broken up about it when naruto ended up with hinata. I'm not one of ... those people am I?
Anyone know a good system for a Naruto/GoT/Marvel Cinematic Universe mashup?
>>47320419
Why would you even combine those things?
>>47320533
>not wanting to play through the most stimulating and intellectual fictions that have been created in the last 300 years
>>47318465
So what you're saying is Kishi realizes his wife is a bitch and wish he ended up with the IRL titty monster that is Hinata?
>>47289980
I literally don't, because Naruto has little value as a setting, and negative value as a narrative story.
Stop liking bad things.
>>47318465
>This is the guy who said that Sakura reminds him of his wife when they were young: she never paid him any mind in school, but she was attracted to him once he became a commercially successful artist.

IchiHime happening would cause /a/ to commit mass suicide
Needless to say, that's the only thing I want out of Bleach anymore
>>47292995
>Rename every instance if "Ninja" as "Mage"
Except Naruto ninjas are based on actual Japanese folklore about ninjas
>>47289980
In our 5th edition games my group has a habit of naming monks after naruto characters.
this spilled over into actually making the naruto characters as multi classed monks.
i've already threatened to do a full campaign at some point.
>>47320381
Technically your a shipper if you have two characters who you think should be in a relationship, or whose relationship you support. Pretty much everyone is a shipper to some degree, its just there are the fanatics who invest their souls into their ship, who we usually think of cause they are the most visable, and no one wants to be that. You can like Naruto and Sakura pairing and not be a Sakurafag on suicide watch. Not my ship, but as long as they arent freaks about it I dont mind the people who like that.
>>47320546
>Got, Mcu, NARUTO
>any of those being considered intellectually stimulating.
Wut? I mean I guess an arguement could be made for Got maybe, maybe, but what on earth makes you think the others should be on the top of the heap? I mean I love both of them, but they're brainless.I watch those when I am no longer in the mood for intellectual stimulation and I just want to see things go boom.
>>47323519
Fuck Rukia, Orihime is best girl.
>>47323743
Well fuck you buddy. Nel is obviously best girl.
>>47324036
This nigga has some good taste
>>47289980
I don't watch Naruto but I have a passing understanding of it because I've got cousins who live by that shit.
However I saw this scene on youtube of "Madara" kicking the shit out of an army and had a revelation:
You can do virtually everything in that show through arcane caster/psionic gestalts. Madara, with his fast-reflexes-eyes and the way he steps around throwing everybody, is clearly a Tashalatora Monk/Psychic Warrior gestated with a Swordsage, having cast Offensive Precognition and executing the Tornado Throw Setting Sun manuever.
People summoning shit? Summon Monster, Gate.
Tie a spell scroll to a knife and throw it.
etc.
If Sasuke or Naruto were female the plot would make enormous amounts more sense.
>>47312625
so no dystopia punk then?

Oh hey! It Hurts! Great Webcomic. Page 100 was crazy/

village responsibility > fatherly obligations
>>47327653
I really can't decide if I should bother reading the manga or just watch the anime
>>47327653
And we never see him fulfill the latter
>>47327763
Just watch the fight scenes. You get the basic gist of the storyline from them anyway.
>>47327763
Read the manga.
Too much filler in the anime and they haven't even finished the main story (in favor of a year+ of filler).
>>47327875
Bretty gud idea actually

Thanks m8. Kinda figured it'd be the better choice.

So he neglects his own son while getting eerily close to his friends kids next door. Damn Naruto, Sasqay was one thing, full on weird loli shit is another entirely. I hear he and Sasgay get together in the end, and go onto ruining kids lives shortly there afterwards while poor Boruto still hasn't earned his Dads respect...
Actually Boruto's lucky. He won't become a crazed feminist nor have to endure years of therapy unlike his friends who have been... "Visited" by the yellow flash in their dreams.
>>47328510
My God. I personally thought both Hinata and Sakura were the most mundane and boring pairings for Naruto, but this gold mine makes me just burst out laughing. Jeez Kishimoto. I understand that most writers write who they know or what they've experienced, but THIS takes that to a whole another level.
>>47332817
Personally I was for Shion, considering that Naruto promised to impregnate her I thought for sure that'd end up being the canon end pairing.
>>47308345
>He's a great dad, he's just a great dad to everyone, so his son is jealous.
>>47320381
Well in porn I like them shipped together in a revenge type fuck thing since Sakura was always a bitch to the poor kid. So theres that, but if I want wholesome hand holding lewd then I'd go for Naruto and Hinata pairing, different tastes I suppose
>>47334471

>>47332756

>>47289980
It's sad to see how little people in this thread understand what good and bad parenting is.I know you could be joking, and I wish you were, but you aren't.
>>47337028
I'll admit I'm not a parent, but not going to your daughter's birthday party seems like a pretty shitty thing to do.
>>47320241
Naruto is already a great setting, the problem is that it's a shit story. And ignoring the main characters doesn't fix that, it just makes how hollow the other characters are more apparent.
Why do nations bother fighting with any level of Ninja under Jonin when Jonin just mow down legions of lesser ninja without slowing down.
Hell, each nation usually has one or two ninja who can win wars single-handily.
>>47343130
The setting in general doesn't make a whole lotta sense considering the anime powerlevels. The powerlevels have to be adjusted in order for it to work as a setting.
>>47343163
Still, you'd think maybe someone would be like,
>Your kage can solo our entire village, and our kage can solo your entire village. So how about our kage just duke it out and the winner wins the war, and we spare our child soldiers all the death and trauma.
>>47343296
You still have your kage dead, which is a huge blow to the village. Much safer to have trained teams (each of which has a jonin and is very skilled at what they do) accomplish tasks than have two of the most powerful shinobi fight and destroy a bunch of land.
>>47339393
It's a shitty thing to do when you're not one of the busiest people on Earth.

>That second paragraph

>>47343163
Anybody notice that anime settings start out pretty weak, only to end as being absolutely ridiculous and nonsensical? I understand Kishi and company sort of have to do that in order to keep readers, but I wish they didn't make their characters rely on power ups in order to win fights.
