I think incorporating Timed Hits is a must.

>>3181800
YOU KNOW ABOUT TIMED HITS?!?!

JESUS FUCK WATCH OUT HE KNOWS ABOUT TIMED HITS

Bob-ombs for top tier

>>3181807
I wish goombas weren't so nerfed.

Koopas = armored foot soldiers, though vunerable to air attacks.

Boos = rogues/assassins, must fight an opponent when their back is turned.

Bob-ombs = suiciders

>>3181806
So, some method of outcome-determination that's affected by a player's own coordination?

Attacks are resolved by a game of marbles, jacks, or beer pong

FUND IT

And that is why Bob-ombs are top tier

I don't know if I want to take the Koopa career path to Paratroopa or Hammer Bro, they're both pretty awesome.

>>3181940
Go Hammer Bro first, they have an excellent defense bonus that'll help out when people are shooting shit at you in the air.

>>3181940
I plan on going Magikoopa.

THE YELLOW BLOCKS WILL BE MINE TO COMMAND

jesus christ hammer bros are so broken

Thanks god they nerfed the boomerang bro class.

That was just.. ridiculous.

Dry Bones would be my choice. Sure, not a lot of HP, but you keep coming back...

So, I tried being a koopa.......

MY FRIEND TOLD ME IT WOULD BE A GOOD IDEA!!

>>3181994
Fucking most broken class. What point is there when nothing can really kill you? Even the penalty to Fellowship isn't all that bad.

At least they cut the fear rating. THAT was borked.

Does anyone else think the Big Boo class is a little unbalanced? I mean, I wanna be it, but I just can't justify it.....

Ever since the new edition, Thwomps are where it's at. Sure they're slow as shit, but they are damn near indestructible. Close range only, but there's few, if any thing that can even damage you from long range, so who cares!

Honorable mention goes out to Piranha Plants, High Str, stealthy as all hell, broken fireball attack (it can go through walls for gods sake) but are far too vulnerable to long range anything

>>3182026
>>here's few, if any thing that can even damage you from long range, so who cares!

Bullet Bill says hello

I don't see how people can say this game is broken. Its just more geared to damage output than damage input - when EVERYONE has an attack that can kill in one hit, it isn't really all that broken. It's like modern day in a gunfight, really.

That said, Dry Bones often ends up winning eventually as a result, but you always end up against SOMEONE with fire eventually...

Bullet Bill.........
RRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
EEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

>>3182065
This is why Magikoopa are awesome. As long as they have a defender, like a Bully (those Bob-omb looking guys, but with horns, and they don't explode), they can take anything.

I dunno about you guys, but I favor Snifits. Shy Guys with gas masks? Fuck yeah.

>>3182074
What's the matter, you don't like that charge attack? +10 movement score is fucking fantastic.

Only bad thing is if you miss, it's like a pile of turns is wasted turning around and charging back up.

>>3182087
>>Bully

I lol'd. Why would you use anything but a Chain Chomp? Anything that comes near you is decimated.

Let me guess, you have a problem making those command checks?

LOL I PLAY MY BOWSER ARMY NOTHING CAN STOP ME I WIN AT FAKE GAMES HURR HURR HURR

>>3182119
DURR HURR WE SHOULD CALL IT /koopa/ NOT /tg/ DURR HURR

Gb2/b/

Ya know whose a good charger? Gameguy. +15 on charge, +2 on defence

-20 on stopping though.......

>>3182116
Well, not just the berserk risk. Chain chomps attack by themselves a lot more than bullies do, which leads to getting themselves killed. The point is to have a defender that stays on defense, and the Bully is perfect for that. They push people around and soak damage - exactly what a spell-slinging magikoopa needs.

I hate how Goombas have a rep for being the weakest race. Granted, they have shitty starting HP, but if you pick and choose your way through battles at low levels, they become total monsters (no pun intended) at later levels. Hypergoomba FTW, they're Marioland's Orks. Fucking awesome. And Gloombas? An extra attack just because they're assholes? Yes please.

The real question...is Kuribo's shoe worth the point investment?

>>3182187
Oh my fucking god, yes. Until you fuck up that thing is retardedly awesome.

Read it again. The last two abilities apply to any target. Any. Target.

Agreed, in fact...why DON'T you have one?

>>3182162
If you spend the spell slot to learn Calm, and get a few other buffs like Mushroom, the Chomp is unstoppable. And if you're worried about them dying, try to get a gold, or Chomp-Chomp. Those things are insane, with defense out the wazoo.

now i really wanna play this game.....

>>3182223
Having your entire combat ability based around one piece of equipment doesn't sit well with me.

>>3182116
>>3182162
>>3182227
Ptooie was here

Everything else is a loser

And then the DM put us up against a single Phanto.

Total.
Player.
Kill.

>>3182024
If you can suffer through playing a low-level Boo, I won't complain. They are pretty good, but they're not unkillable.

Still, coming up behind an entire platoon of enemies and scaring the shit out of them would be priceless. Delicious fear rating.

Random encounter, plumber equipped with a FLUDD pack.

>>3182236
Just think of Mario-With-Shoe as a new, different character. That's effectiely how it plays.

>>3182251
FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF

We were crawling through a pipe labyrinth because we heard a rumor from this team of Chargin' Chucks we met on the Donut Plains. Supposed to be a bunch of stars locked in a vault deep, deep inside.

We're going through, finding every trap (One thing the Boo is good for, I guess. Not counting the time he snuck up on Wario and got a crit, that was fucking AMAZING), dealing with most everything with no problem (I was playing a Koopa Striker with a huge Dex score, it was ridiculous), I figured we'd be in and out and rich like kings. Until the goddamn Shy Ranger starts rifling through this chest, finds a big silver key, and pockets it without telling us.

4, fucking 4, Phantos. We can hear them screaming for us, all around us, and we have no idea where they're coming from because there's eight or nine pipes leading to this room. The Magikoopa gets taken out by one surprise attack, his Chain Chomp berserks and barely misses me, the Lakitu tries to mount up and *critical fails*, and what does the Shy Ranger do? He uses a Slow Flower and fucking runs back to the entrance.

I took two down before I died. Granted, I had a little help from the Chomp. But man, was I pissed.

>>3182341
No tank? Sounds like a bunch of newbies.

>>3182116
>>3182341
>>his Chain Chomp berserks

I love you guys

>>3182361
It was our first game. We're doing a lot better this time around; I rolled a Magitoad (exiled from the Mushroom kingdom for trying to subvert the crown, and proved himself to the Koopas, basically. Helps that they took my family star as payment.) The huge bonus to charisma Toads have over Koopas, plus the Trustworthy perk makes diplomacy a joke. I intimidated a Hammer Bro so badly, he swore himself into my service. That, combined with some homebrew Toady spells, makes for all the tank we need.

>>3182268
Mario is just stupid in this game. My DM ran him against us, and it would have been a TPK except that we really liked our characters and campaign, so he just had Mario run off or something. It was complete bullshit, he dodged EVERY attack we threw at him.

>>3182393
Fucking Mary-Sue, get the fuck out of here.

>>3181940
Neither. Stick wtih your base class until level 10. I know it'll be rough for a while, but otherwise you won't qualify for Koopatrol. Oh, and hold off on taking Darkness until after you get there. Dark Koopatrol gets twice the benefits a Dark Troopa with Koopatrol levels does, trust me.

If this thing lasted for more than one encounter, it'd be the best item in the game. It damn near is already.

So damn cheap.

>>3182439
>>Waahhh, I have no imagination

Sorry I have interesting character concepts. Enjoy your baseline Koopas with nothing interesting even at later levels.

>>3182460
I beg to differ. Unless you character is already loaded out for ranged fighting, the 5d6 fireball is useless. Even worse, if you use it in a smaller room, enjoy getting hit with a ricochet. I'm sure your party will love that shit.

Anyone know when the Dinosaur Land supplement comes out? I want to try a Birdo out so hard.

>>3182477
>>I want to try a Birdo out so hard.

>>3182477
Birdo's in Subcon. Not worth in my opinion. Now Shyguys have some potential, especially if you go with Snifit progression...

>>3182460
I beg to fucking differ.

>>3182489
Shy Guy=Kender

Prove me wrong.

>>3182489
Laser Snifit is God Tier.

>This thread

What is this I don't even

>>3182499
A shy guy has never stolen all my stuff and then told me it was my fault. When a shy guy crosses me, he has the good sense to be fucking ashamed. In fact, no matter what a shy guy does, he's ashamed. Makes them the opposite of Kender, really.

>>3182515
Someone's never seen full Bandit progression...

Shy Guy army

what could be better?

>>3182510
You know how /tg/ just talks about games and doesn't actually PLAY them? Well, sometimes /tg/ talks about games that aren't actually real.

>>3182530
...this is about as productive and goes about the same as a thread about a game that *is* real, only with less rage and trolling, because nobody has any attachments.

>>3182185
I had a Hyper Paratroopa once outfitted with P-Wings and the Speedster perk. I could divebomb every round for an average of 60 damage per hit.

That kind of a powergaming campaign...

>>3182535
Paragoomba, excuse me.

>>3182530
Oh, someone didn't get into the beta? Sucks to be you.

>>3182460
Why else do you think Fire Brother got errataed out of existence right after 3rd edition came out? I've seen playtesters slip but damn.

How does we archive this? This is one of the greatest things ever, and must be saved for posterity

>>3182409
Mario is this game's equivalent to THE MOTHERFUCKING TERRASQUE! DM's only throw them at you if they want to end the campaign or hates your characters outright.

This one time, my party consisted of a Magikoopa with the Dry Bones template, A Koopa Paratroopa promoted from Shellshocker, A Snifit promoted from a Shy Guy Runner, and a Rex that had managed to enslave a Red Yoshi for a mount.
Our GM was literally livid at how much synergy we had. Basically every encounter came down to me turning blocks into Koopa Drones, the Snifit back-attacking the Drones out of their shells with his rock shots, the Shocktroopa (as we called it) Fly-by attacking the shells, rocketing them at the target, Meanwhile the Rex runs on the other side of the guy and has his Yoshi eats the shells that miss the target and Fireballs the hell out of em.
So, what's he do? Send that fatass italian at us, since apparently Bowser decided to randomly kidnap Peach for like the THIRD TIME that campaign. Party Wipe. Total Party Wipe. We even scattered in 4 different directions and he managed to Hop and Mega-Flame the lot of us.

>>3182495
>POW MOTHERFUCKER.jpg

This is now my battlecry.

>>3182559
Damn man, I'm sorry. I WISH my PCs understood teamwork like you guys, that's beautiful.

You know, all the DM had to do to make things interesting was find ways to remove parts of the chain. Like, an encounter with no Blocks to work with, or make rocks for the Snifit REEEEAL scarce for a while.

Alternatively, make an opponent that can hack your combo. If the other guy has a snifit, and it takes its turn between your snifit and your magikoopa, it can hijack the shell projectiles, making for an awesome gaming moment right there.

>>3182554
We hope and pray to New England that suptg will be up before this thread hits page 10.

I am afraid the chances of this happening are slim to none.

>>3181759
At Op's pic: Best NPC's in the game. We were infiltrating a Traitor Guard fortress and bumped into these guys; of course, the first thing we did was start fighting. We actually managed to knock Orange out, before everyone realized we were on the same side. So we formulate this plan, and pincer attack the platoon that's in the audience chamber, it was a fucking massacre. Good times.

>>3182588
Too bad they've inspired so much rampant stupidity. I can't even count how many games I've been in with someone playing the "lost 5th member."

>>3182595
You've got to be fucking kidding me.

>>3182595
what is this i dont even

Also, Koopa-->Paratrooper = god mode.

>>3182550

Theres no rule saying you cant use them they just were so killer that the designers try not to talk about them anymore.Heck theres alot of stuff you dont see from the old editions that make for wicked games

My longest running epic level campaign lead to my team ending up commanders of Bowrers dark world defense force.I used another set of rules they barely talk about anymore taking the Doomship rules and making Tanks and even my own personal Navy with them.We loaded with enough cannons and bullet bills to level half a world.

The Epic final confrontation comes up and my Navy turns aside Mario 3 FRIGGAN TIMES.It was so epic.Problem is i didnt think things through enough and he comes back with a Hammer Bros. Suit [Just proving they are the best] and then SWIMS UNDER MY FUCKING BOATS.I cursed the day i forgot to get even one Boss Bass too keep him from doing that and without the rest of the guys for support i got torn apart by tons of hammers and jumps.Its my own fault i guess but man it was an epic game

>>3182575
You're telling me. We loved our Strike Force party... We had the Yoshi carry full compliment of rocks for the Snifit anyway.
And trust me, the DM tried like all hell to throw a wrench into things. Though, since I could regenerate myself combined with crazy magic I couldn't be touched, Shocktroopa and the Snifit could hit and run like a motherfucker, And anything we couldn't kill the Rex's Yoshi could just tongue-tie it while he would Chomp it til it couldn't resist the Yoshi anymore and get swallowed.
Really though, it seemed like the DM was completely foreign to the concept of actual teamwork. I blame too many years of World of Darkness games where everyone's an asshole out for themself.

>>3182615
I like Koopa ---> Hammer Bro better. So many attacks...

I had a friend that actually ran a table-top mario game. It was what happened if mario picked the bad ending in Paper Mario Thousand Year Door.

Big Eyes Small Mouth worked wonders for the Mario Universe.

A Toad with infite storage under his mushroomtop.
A Yoshi random effects table everytime it ate something.
Rolling to attack with blue shells.
Drive checks for kart racing.
....Wario farting attacks (which another party member was dumb enough to be smoking at the time and ignited the damn things, everytime!).

Try looking at BESM for this

>>3182660
Inaccurate as fuck, though. I like the Paratroopers because you can fly, deal a fairly powerful attack, and then fly to relative safety.

You want to talk about unbalanced? Pic fucking related. Not only are they awesome to start, with both healing and a minor offensive spell, their blasts get hella strong, and their best spell, Magikopy, is like a cracked out Simulacrum. If your MAG is high enough, you get 4 FUCKING COPIES. Holy dogfuck.

Next campaign I plan on rolling one of these guys, hiring on a Super Koopa for my defender (Probably a Red Koopa for first level), and maybe stealing a Lakitu cloud just to be a total twink.

>>3182690
That's the problem with Hammerbro; you need high strength, so you can do appreciable damage, high dex to make sure you hit consistently, a lot of health and defense because you're likely going to be the first one the enemies target. Not to mention their total lack of skills (Though that's not them, it's the whole Koopa thing).

>>3182701
Holy fuck, that's broken.

>>3182701
Thanks, this is my new BBEG.

>>3182393
You statted out Toads? You must share this with me.

oh /tg/.

Won't you marry me?

>>3182767
Sorry, we have a wife.

So, has anyone gone up against Luigi yet? I've noticed DM's don't like to use him that much.

Our party went up against him last week. He's not as butt-rape as Mario is, but god damn is he tough. Negative Energy Zone shenanigans are a bitch to work through.

>>3182827
Groups tend to underestimate him, and then are surprised when they get their shit ruined. I especially love how my players tend to forget how he's got all kinds of little differences from Mario, like the straight fireball. It's all in the details.

>>3182026
Thwomps make the best rogues. Why?

Disguise at +20: Disguise self as ceiling

Sneak attack for heavy damage, into an automatic pin with crushing damage every round. Fucking sick.

Imagine, if you will, an invisible Thwomp. "OK, the volcano is only 6 more mi-JESUS FUCK WHY IS THE HEALER A PANCAKE?!" Part of the reason I won't allow for a Thwomp PC in the same party as a Green Magikoopa.

>>3182827
His gaze attack is WTFHAX, though.

ITT retards turn a cool fictional game into D&D because they can't conceive of a non-D&D game. Jesus christ, guys, play something else. Fuck.

>>3182862
Nah, D&D's just easy to use as a base. Everyone knows the rules, and with all the crap they already have out any campaign setting is feasible.

>>3182868
Yeah, and it makes everything suck. "Wheel of Time RPG? let's make it d20!" Wow, look at that, shit sux. "How about we make a d20 future game?" Shit, you guessed it, sux. "OK, OK, 7th Sea d20!" Yep, shit sux.

>>3182868
Who's using D&D? I was thinking WFRP/Dark Heresy and GURPS the whole time. Fuck d20.

Wait, is there an actual game here, or is this an elaborate joke?

>>3182978
This is /tg/.

>>3182877
>Dark Heresy
I was too.

>>3181759
I, for one, would love to play this if someone decided to make it

I am so going to work on this. Later though, as I am about to pass out.

Keep this thread up for the morning crew.

I swear, threads like this make me more convinced of the viability of group conspiracy than anything I have ever read on /x/.

>>3183103

Well somebody shouldnt TRY to use everything in every Mario game ever since it will be too much of a workload but

http://www.mariowiki.com/Koopa_Troop

Heres everything

Bump for cross-class Koopa/Dry Bones.

>>3183027
>>imperium of man vs koopa army vs mushroom kingdom

holy fucking shit you are the best idea ever

For a system, I'd use low, Paper Mario style numbers coupled with brief games of skill for timed hits. A single shot at Quarters is the best I can think of for basic attacks, but less common actions could require you to pick up as many jacks as possible in one bounce, catch a ball-in-cup once, or get a top to spin for more than a certain amount of time.

For fairness, the GM would either have to use dice rolls instead or be strictly adversarial. In the later case, the GM is actively trying to kill you but has to obey a point cap when planning encounters. This could fit nicely with a "GM is Bowser" motif.

Bump, because we need to get this shit done

What would the most popular races for a Mario game be?

Human, Toad, Shyguy, Yoshi, and Koopa are all shoe-ins with a huge variety of possible character builds. Goomba, drybones, and bob-omb always manage to show up in these threads as well. And personally, I think a Puni leader would make an awesome character race for the potential to play with swarm mechanics.

Are any others very important to somebody?

Did someone say broken item?

I still think the best MarioRPG game I've ever heard of, was one with a slightly altered setting. Luigi taking over the Mushroom Kingdom out of frustration and jealousy of his brother's achievements. Shit was so awesome.

Is 4chanarchive down too?

>>3183837

Whatever race that can be a Axem Ranger

>>3184677
That's an Epic Tier Destiny

>>3184731
Anything it takes to get a ship with a mounted superweapon.

Needs better rules for vehicle combat. The banana slipping mechanics take ages to sort out.

>>3182460
>>3182495
>>3183957

Gentlemen.

Bumps.

IMO It should run like Dark Heresy, as far as "classes" go.

MY MUSHROOM ARMY LED BY MARO IS AWESOME FUCK YOU GUYS IN THE ASS

FUCK.

Thanks to random rolls for loot a Magikoopa in one of my games ran across the plans to an airship. I'm never counting on random loot tables again.

Koopa Troopa Careers

Koopa (First Tier)

This is the starting career for Koopas. These are newly enlisted soldiers in the Koopa Troop in need of training. From here, the Koopa earns his shell and becomes one of the most recognizable military troops in all of Marioland: The Koopa Troopa. Includes the basic combat abilites Punch, Defend, and Flee!.


Koopa Troopa (Second Tier)

The general infantry of the Koopa Troop, this is a Koopa who has earned his shell. In this career, a Koopa Troopa gains his definitive shell, providing much of their needed defensive power, and the most basic Shell Manuevers.

Requirements: None


Red Koopa Troopa (Third Tier)

The next level in basic Koopa Troopa rank, Red Troopas are awarded their red shell, and taught several new techniques, including general tactics and strategy, and Shell Manuevers. Koopas can only reach this rank by being promoted by their superiors; while anyone can wear a shell, it takes some smarts to know how to use 'em!

Requirements: None


Koopa Paratroopa (Third Tier)

The aerial aces of the Koopa Troop. These Koopas are awarded the winged shell, giving them the ability to fly, and are taught the amazing ability used by the Koopas' greatest antagonist Mario, the Jump ability. While it takes some time to master basic flying, these soldiers are still quite formidable. Taught basic aerial Shell Manuevers.

Requirements: None

>>3185949
Little Hammer Bro (Third Tier)

So, you want to be a Hammer Brother, eh?! Well, it's gonna take some doin'! A Little Hammer Bro is a fresh new recruit to the Hammer Brotherhood, yet to prove himself. He is awarded his very first Hammer, and taught the basics of combat. While this career does give greater offensive capability, the Little Hammer Bro has yet to earn his Hammer armor, and so still has to be careful. Taught defensive Shell Manuevers and Basic Hammer Manuevers.

Requirements: 6 Power


Magikoopa Apprentice (Third Tier)

A Magikoopa? Really? You think you have the smarts? A Magikoopa Apprentice is a Koopa who has ingratiated himself in some way to the Magikoopakademy (whew!) and begins his studies of Koopa Magic. He is given his apprentices robes (a rather muted brown), his apprentice wand (a rather muted brown stick), and his (you guessed it) apprentice spell-book. The Apprentice is taught the most basic of offensive and buff spells, but loses the ability to use Shell Manuevers.

Requirements: 6 Smarts
Coming: Lakitu and Super Koopa, as well as full progressions for the rest.

>>3185949
>>3185954
slowclap.gif

>>3185954
Is the spell-book a rather muted brown?

FUck yeah.

Can I play a Shyguy Shamen?

>>3186082
Shaman? Get this homebrew crap out of here.

What about the bob-ombs that could come back after blowing up? That seems a little broken, unless they nerf the splash damage. Also, can I play a Luma with the dark template?

>>3186134
>Luma

Oh, someone didn't play 3rd ed yet; [spoiler]All the Lumas were sucked into a black hole. They're all dead.[/spoiler] Sorry bro.

>>3186134
>>Dark Luma

Alright, so, the game would need to have race-based classes, with 'sub-classes' similar to prestige classes in DnD. You'd eventually be able to mix and match classes and abilities. So, a guidelines list:

Koopa
-Paratroopa
-Hammer Bro
-Dark Koopa
-Koopatrol
-Lakitu
-Magikoopa

Goomba
-Spiked Goomba
-Paragoomba
-Hyper Goomba
-Gloomba
-Goomboss

Shy Guy
-Sniffit
-Jungle Guy
-Jester Guy
-Fly Guy
-Medi Guy
-Ghoul Guy
-Spy Guy
-Pyro Guy

Boo
-Blindfold boo
-Balloon boo
--Big boo
-Dark Boo
--Shadow Sister

Baby Chomp
-Chomp
--Red Chomp
---Stone Chomp
----Gold Chomp
--Big Chomp
---Chomp Shark
--Nibbles
--Flame Chomp

>>3186191 I'm too cheap to go buy the Pipes & Plumbers rulebook!

>>3186191
http://www.mariowiki.com/Main_Page

>>3186292
I knew about that; I used that to organize this list.

>>3185954
Lakitu (Third Tier)

Lakitu, that mysterious master of the clouds! Lakitu are Koopa trained in the use of Lakitu Clouds, which are obtained through trade with Nimbus Land. The Lakitu Corps is a prestigious organization, and thus doesn't let just any old Koopa join their ranks; some Koopas buy their way in, while others impress higher ranking members (for example, Lokitu, the clever leader of the Lakitu Corps). Either way, obtaining a Lakitu Cloud is no easy task. Lakitu are taught basic Cloud Manuevers.

Requirements: None


Super Koopa (Third Tier)

Super Koopas are the result of Magikoopa's experiments with the feathers of the extremely rare Cape Hawk; the subjects are endowed with Superkoopian strength and speed. But to properly utilize their new abilities, they must abandon their shells. To become a Super Koopa, a Koopa must successfully prove, without a doubt, his utter loyalty to Bowser and the Koopa Kingdom. Once this is done, the Koopa must undergo the test of worth, where the Koopa must retrieve the Cape Feather to be used for his transformation. Lastly, the Koopa must survive his transformation, and keep control throughout. Super Koopas are organized into the League of Super Koopas, and often are called upon to deal with the biggest threats to Koopakind. Super Koopas are taught basic Super Manuevers, such as how to fly, and how to control their vast power.

Requirements: None

>>3186471
>>3185954
>>3185949

Goomba was here, Koopa is a faggot.

>>3185949
>>3186471

Are these based on any system in particular, or is this entire thing going to be homebrew'd?

>>3182827
Oh, I LOVE Luigi. He's so much fun to have around. Has most, if not all, of Mario's primary abilities. Give him the Thunder Hand on top of his standard pyrokinesis, and shit becomes a thing of beauty. If you add his Hammer, forget about it.

However, fuck the Poltergust. I'd rather eat a wheelbarrow of dicks than equip the Poltergust.

>>3186565
Forgot my pic.

>>3186565

Whats wrong with the Poltergust? Best damn item in the game for countering Boo-faggotry (if you don't count the star).

>>3186523
I'm debating whether to do Goomba or Shyguy next.

>>3186538
Well, I fucking love the WFRP and Dark Heresy systems, so I'll likely take a bunch from those. And I'm looking at how SMRPG and the Paper Mario games handled stats, as I'm trying to figure those out at the moment. I want to keep it light-hearted and silly (GLADBRIGHT as opposed to GRIMDARK), so Iso far I've come up with:

Power, representative of physical strength
Smarts, represents intelligence
Heart, represents the amount of punishment one can take, and how likely it is that one can take a courageous stand when near defeat

>>3186575
You might want to consider Flower/Star points, which were used for MP and such.

Otherwise, this is looking quite awesome.

>>3186621
FP does seem like it would be a good idea, as it would entail a system where abilities aren't infinitely usuable, and it's a throwback to the videogames.

>>3186574
If I HAVE to deal with Boos, my pyrokinesis and electrokinesis work perfectly fine. I haven't had a problem yet. Honestly, I think the Poltergust is just a unnecessary waste of equipment space. Besides, a Mario without his Hammer is nigh-blasphemous. There's a reason one of their nicknames is the "Jump and Hammer Kings."
>>3186575
Don't forget how to handle magic. Most of the time, it's done with FP (Flower Points). How you handle that is up to you.

Captain Syrup doesn't get enough love, so here you go. Wario with tits and looks hot? Thank you sir may I have another.

Everybody always forgets the Montey Moles. Sure, there are better sneak attackers out there like Sniffits and Boos, but some of us would rather not be killed instantaneously by pretty much everything in the game. Some of us want to be able to slug it out instead of running away.

Once you level into a Rocky Wrench, that honorary koopa shell gives you much needed defense and those wrenches fucking hurt.

TPK

You stupid fucking idiots, the game was already MADE, what the fuck do you think we're playing?

This is the backstory for my ghoul guy.

>>3186713

I smell a liar.

Mornington Crescent?

>>3186720
=D

I played the Tomb of Kaizo module. Fucking Banzai Bill in the pipe's mouth...

I'm so rolling a Wiggler named Gilgamesh. So cash.

FUCK those anitguys. They're completely overpowered.

>>3186770
There's a reason they're Tier 6.

If you haven't played the Glitz Pit module get the fuck out there and find it. This shit's the most fun I've ever had. Pic related for best NPC/enemy ever.

>>3186780
My fists would like to have a few words with you.

Rexes get no respect. They don't get half as many gimmicks as the other races, but they are a good and durable no-nonsense offensive force.

But if there aren't 20 different sub-species you can level into than nobody ever plays them.

>>3186780

>If you haven't played the Glitz Pit module get the fuck out there and find it

WHAT.
Fucking WHAT.

Those little shits cost way too much and offer nothing in return. Glitz Pit was one of the worst releases EVER.

>>3186804
Yeah, that's the thing - Rexes are good, but they're BORING. You get steadily tougher, but there's no variation, nothing fancy. Every Rex plays the same.

>>3186804
You're not supposed to play a Rex, doofbag. Their lack of language and tiny Smarts keeps them from socially interacting with anything, really. Makes a much better mount or defender.

Big Bertha.
Just...Big Bertha.
Fuck.

This needs perks. Perks, and maybe flaws.

PERK-Speedster: You're fast. Really fast! Other creatures of your race are in fact amazed at your quickness! Double your starting speed.

FLAW-Self-Reliant: You're great! So great, you don't need items. You don't even want them! PCs with this flaw can't use powerups.

I'm playing Shy Guy and was thinking of going the way of the Spy Guy. Anything I should know to better play the role?

I want to keep the system simple. I'm thinking maybe d6's?

Power-strength
Defense-Natural hardiness, reduces damage
Smarts-intelligence
Speed-How fast you are
Coolness-charisma/fellowship kind of thing
Heart-Representative of hit points and exactly how much punishment someone can take before they're knocked out.
Flower Points-Represents the ability to perform acts of AWESOME


Is some kind of Dex skill needed? How do I handle ranged attacks?

PERK-Cursed: You can turn into a sheet of paper in your shape. This allows you to turn 90 degrees and move through bars.
FLAW-Doesn't know about timed hits: You can't use timed hits at all.

>>3186953
Invest heavily in their Camouflage technique, and sneak attack the shit out of stuff. If you successfully hit with that hammer, they either lose their ability to attack, move, or use an item. It's *sick*.

How would we do Cheep-Cheeps? I know that there are some that can breathe air.

Also, I need to get third edition. All the lumae are dead though. :(

>>3186953
>FLAW-Doesn't know about timed hits: You can't use timed hits at all.
Unless you receive a summary explanation from a Toad retainer. You must volunteer either a party member or a passing mob for this tutorial; otherwise you cannot receive it.

ARCHIVE THIS NAO!

guys, the game already exists, knock it off

>>3186973
They're fish, for fuck's sake.

>>3186992
Please, just let us brainstorm for 4e.

>>3187001
>4e

Guys, they already did this.

http://www.savageheroes.com/conversions/mushroom%20kingdom%201-5.pdf

HEre's a system I homebrewed out of a mix of a brasilian system and warhammer fantasy battle.

Atributes:
STR (Str)

Weapon skill. (WS)

Armor save (A)

Toughness (T)

Balistic skill (BS)

Wounds (W)

Initiative (I)


Each atribute starts with 3 points in it (except wounds, all PCs and important NPCs start with 2, and BBEGS 3. Mooks get one tough.). Player characters characters start with 5 points to distribute.
Every fight they win they get 1XP. 10XP equals another point.

Speed: (S)
How many arbytrary units of movement you Can move per round. Normally 4 for humans.

Regras:

Attacking: Roll 1d6+str+WS-(T of the target). if the result equals or greater then 7 it's a hit. take off 1 wound point.

Ranged combat: Roll BS+Weapon strenght-(T of the target). if the result equals or greater then 7 it's a hit. take off 1

wound point.
The defender then get to roll his armor save. He rolls a d6. If the result is equal or greter then his armor save value, he

negates the wound.

Armor goes from 6 (light) to 2 (heavy armor + tower shield)

ALso there are advantages and disavantadges, but I can't be arsed to do it.
Here's 2 examples:
Advantage: Accelerate: (1pt) your speed doubles.
Disavantage: Cursed: (-2pts) each battle you roll a d6. in a roll of 3 or less, all your stats are reduced by 1

>>3187028
>Grimdark Mario
>Shitty system

LET'S SET SAIL FOR FAIL

>>3187028
I don't feel good about this, too needlessly dark, besides we already have enough grimdark everyday.

So our mercenary group, the Crashing Thunder Brigade (that's a story for another time), we're attacking this village-here's our characters:

Ice Cleft with the Arrogant perk (+2 Coolness +2 Heart) and the Stylish Sunglasses (HE'S SO COOL LOL)

Green Magikoopa with a Ptooie defender, actually quite good at what he does (buff the party then protect himself).

A Tanoomba with Mime mastered who favors turning into a Reznor after we met them in Dinosaur Land

A Pirate Shyguy named Shy Guybrush Threepwood (Seriously.)

And I'm playing a Red Bones disguised as a Troopea, so that whenever I act oddly I just tell them "That's how we do things in the Beanbean Kingdom." In character, they still have no idea. Even when the fake beansprout falls off ("it's supposed to do that").


So we're attacking this Toad village in the middle of the night, which this badly injured Koopa Troopa hired us for, claiming they had a powerful warrior with a Star (he joined us, too). We get there, and the place seems to be deserted, and it looks like it's been that way for a while. So our DM has us roll Smarts check to see if we "see it". We all manage to fail, so I use a Lucky Charm, because I know we're about to get fucked, and I make it. I look up and see a hugnormous sword soaring through the sky, and immediately FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF-. A bunch of Yoshi-mounted Shady Koopas ride up, with Smithy's mark on their shells, and they ride right through us. The Koopa Troopa that joined us immediately knocks out Shy Guybrush, and so initiative starts. There were five riders, and we actually managed to wipe them out, through fantastic teamwork (The Green Magikoopa Electrified the Tanoomba turned Reznor, and the Shady Koopa leader actually tried to play chicken with him.) We find out from the Koopa Troopa that they were meant to capture us, but we couldn't get anymore information because he popped a Mario Decoy and we all failed our fear checks.

Anyones DM throw them up against Wario?

Fucker is the epitome of tank.

>>3187591
It does say in the rules that he's not supposed to be defeated, ever. As in, impossible. >>3182341 was doin it rong

>>3187639
Well by Defeat one of the Plumbers the best you can do is get them to retreat.

The Wario probably failed a save when spooked by the Boo. So he ran away

>>3187651
True, he does have the whole Cowardly thing.

>>3187513
Best thread on /tg/. Ever.

Know what I love? Taking modules from other games, and changing everything up to fit your game.

Imagine The Temple of Elemental Evil, Die Vecna Die!, Expedition to Undermountain, City of the Spider Queen, Sons of Gruumsh, all converted to Mario Land style?

>>3188065
...This idea is full of awesome.

>>3188065
Vidya games could work, too. I'm playing Shining Force II for the Genesis, and the story here could definitely work.

This had best be here in the morning.

>>3188065
>Die Vecna Die!

Dry Bones Magikoopa taking over the world. Fucking awesome.

>>3188372
I will ensure it.

Well hi there maggot.

THE TERRORIST KNOWN AS MARIO MARIO HAS STRUCK AGAIN

I have utilized my marvelous cones to get this submitted to the 4chanarchive.

Mind, it still needs support votes to be permanently archived.

>>3188817
You are a good man.

Lemme see if i can contribute some suggestions to this epic thread

A big problem i think would be handling battles and wounds.It might be fun to avoid common RPG Death at 0 HP scale and put in something more Marioesque but not TOO 1 hit kill lethal

I was thinking like special "beaten down" levels

Stunned-No actions for 1D4 turns which could come from taking too much damage at once or something like a Sumo Bros stomp

Knocked stupid-Out for the duration of the battle.Can take no actions by lay there with swirly eyes and twitch.Gained from losing all health classic 0 HP RPG or failing fear checks really badly

SSMMMMAASSSHHHHed-Character is launched into the horizon indefinitely.The character is essentially removed from the game.They may be in any condition from stunned on the next continent to in a body cast for a month.Homage to Team Rocket Smash Bros and Earthbound

Its not any specific rules im throwing out just giving some suggestions.Take them as you will

>>3188974
I'm thinking the Paper Mario solution:

0 HP = unconscious.

You do not die.

SPOILER: The Mario RPG has already been done in Savage Worlds

>>3189178
We got that; its been linked in this thread.

However, /tg/ dislikes Savage Worlds [not sure why, its a decent system], so we'd rather make our own. Fits the 'gets shit done' reputation we have going for us.

I believe the barbarian class would like to have a word with you

http://www.mariowiki.com/X-Naut_PhD

could these guys be playable?

>>3182559

I believe someone would beg to differ on your "Terrasque" accusation.

what about these guys? would they make a good Playable race? Or Monstrous only?

Make sure to save the thread somehow so that when sup/tg/ comes back up, it can be added.

Some ideas I jotted down while at work

Perk: "I met Bowser once!!" What a cool dude! When trying to impress others, you gain a +6 bonus to your Coolness check.

Perk: Thought-full: You sure are a brainy guy. Did you eat dictionaries when you were a kid or something? Gain a permanent +2 to Smarts. This can only be taken at character creation.

I had an idea for declaring a hometown/homeland/what-have-you at character creation, which can give nifty abilities and roleplaying options. Also, certain conditions in different areas in the world would merit different kinds of items, adding to diversity in equipment. Here's the example I thought up:

New Koopsburg: A chilly, somewhat smoggy, and very very busy town. Koopsburgians tend to wear beanie caps and wind breakers to combat the harsh, icy wind-plus they look pretty stylish! Citizens of this busy burg have a +1 bonus to Speed, representing their adaption to the frenetic life that takes place here. They also gain a -1 penalty to Heart, as the Smogg that lives above New Koopsburg is terrible for a Koopa's (or anyone's for that matter) health.

Also, when writing the eventual manual for the game, a narration something like Elminster and Volo in the Baldur's Gate II instructions would be hilarious. Imagine a self-proclaimed scholar teaching everything, and Kamek stepping in to point out his mistakes every once in a while. Example

*On the topic of Magikoopas*:

Scholar: "The grand and mysterious Magikoopakademy, whose location is almost legendarily secret-"
Kamek: "No it isn't! Everyone knows the akademy is at-"
Scholar "Will you stop interrupting me! I know exactly where the school is."
Kamek: "Really? Do tell!"
Scholar: "Oh...well...erm..."
Kamek: *sigh* "You don't have a clue. And you folks are trusting this simpleton to guide the way? What a pity."

>>3190319
They'd probably count as a group of enemies unrelated to the Mushroom Kingdom.
>>3190344
Mostly enemies, but perhaps players could have dealings with the Pianta Syndicate.

>>3191531
Mushroom City/Toad Town: The heart and soul of the Mushroom Kingdom, not to mention the capital city; the city holds residence to Peach's Castle itself, not to mention a certain red-and-green duo live just outside the city limits. A pseudo-metropolis that somehow happens to be both quiet and busy at the same time. A port town as well as a central trading city, information, scholarly or otherwise, is always on the move through this city. It doesn't help that Toads are notorious gossips, too.
+1 Smarts to be able to keep up with all that information.
