/tg/, what system woud you use for running games based on great like Gravity Falls and Steven Universe?
>>44298374
Kidpunk, a /tg/ homebrew made specifically to play a CN show
>>44298377
That sounds neat. Can we see it? Does it work forRegular Show?
>>44298374
>Gravity Falls
Little Fears, WoD: Innocents or Delta Green.
>>44298454
Didn't mean to namefag, sorry.

Those shows have a similar animation style and tone, but are Vastly different and require different things from their systems.
Gravity Falls is about mystery and revolves around "normal" people. WoD, low powered generic systems, or GUMSHOE would be a good fit.
SU is about exploration (or slice of life depending on the episode) and revolves around exceptional characters. Savage Worlds, a super powers Generic system, MHR, OVA, or Cypher System would work well.

Regular show would be best in something with a lot of narrative freedom, Cortex, PbtA, or Fiasco.
>>44298478
Gravity Falls could be easily run on CoC if you drop or nerf the sanity mechanic.
>>44298669
>Fiasco
Actually would be perfect.

Unknown Armies.
Why is Steven Universe so popular? What's good about it anyway?
>>44299828
Polymorphic Lesbian Rocks
>>44299828
tumblristas can use it to make fanartists attempt suicide for drawing a character wrong... i guess it is something
>>44298374
steven universe? have you ever heard of the little known system called FATAL?
>>44299882
What?
>>44299828
It's similar to adventure time in some respects but unlike that show the story actually progresses regularly and we're learning more about our heroes and who they're fighting. Overall it's surprisingly well written and has some genuinely interesting characters when we learn more about who they are as people.
Also the fact that half the standing cast is lesbian rights rock people with wildly different designs between them lets tumblr jerk off to it for being "progressive" so that is unfortunately a large part of why it's as successful as it is. but in fairness, unlike the legend of Korra ending it doesn't feel pandering and is actually pretty easy to ignore in the face of everything else that goes on.

Just tumblr being awful as usual. Nothing new. They harassed a young girl to the point that she tried to kill herself because she drew a black character as white and a fat character as skinny.

Tumblr
It's creator used to draw Ed, Edd, & Eddy gay porn
GURPS

+1 to that, not to mention the main character's love interest in of the opposite sex, so much for taking down heteronormativity.
I like how the series' outlook is very positive in many regards, the characters rather deep, the lore simple but fairly coesive, the fact they don't ioverdo it with crazy characters (I mean, four gems, one being a known fusion of two, two ennemies and a somewhat neutral other character, we rise to a total of 9 known gems... There could be a real onslaught of characters, and I feel there's been some actual restraint on this, to the point I'm eager to see what comes next.)
Steven Universe is nice. It's tender, it's fun, it's colorfull and pretty. I find it endearing, and although it's not extremely profound, it has its moments.

pretty pictures/sound/voices
Characters are okay, story okay, musical segments good.
But nothing beats Cat Fingers.
>>44299828
Popular with tumblr.
>>44298374
CoC for GF, the SU homebrew for SU.

/b/ has pulled that kind of shenanigans for teh lulz
tumblr does that because mighty social justice hate makes the world more equal
Think I like /b/'s sociopaths better
>>44299828
Colorcoded characters with easy personalities to match, the same as with mlp, I suppose.
>>44304777
There's something insidious about it you know? Like, /b/ knows they are being assholes, it's a conscious act of wrong doing, But on tumblr, when they do something like that. They feel like they were in the right. That by harassing someone, they aren't being a asshole. they are bettering society.
That's much more disquieting then someone just being a dick for 'teh lolz'
>>44298374
for Gravity Falls
>>44306607
I suppose they have no understanding of the saying about the road to Hell. It's really quite scary.
