One thing I really don't like about Power Rangers is that the five protagonists are completely indistinguishable once they morph, and would therefore be a huge bore to stat up.
Everything I recall about the show is pretty indistinguishable from long-past fever dreams... and pretty tightly coiled with similar recollections from Dragon Ball Z (with maybe a touch of Godzilla and Voltron thrown in for good measure.)
Where did it all go wrong, Casey? I can’t pinpoint it, but it was already too late when they remade 3:10 to Yuma and took a movie that was mostly two men talking about morality in a hotel room and put in a Gatling gun.
This is my gaming circle minus my ACKS players. I am such an asshole. Since they're in the big city now, the players really wanted to know if there were any magic weapons for sale. ACKS ain't 3e or 4e though. There is exactly one magic weapon for sale. I rolled randomly to see what it was and... ...it's a cursed -2 sword. So I told the players there's a weapons dealer/fence who's looking to get rid of a magic sword he's gotten ahold of...cheap. Only 6,000gp when usually a +1 item would be 10,000gp. So far they are not suspicious. They're going to be so pissed at me. I can barely contain my excitement.
Imagine how it would change RPG sessions if the GM had to consider how the various NPCs and monsters would be translated into plastic toys.
ReplyDeleteAndrew Shields Dungeons and Dragons started with that.

ReplyDeleteRob Monroe Power Rangers are NPCs or monsters. One stat block, different colors.
ReplyDeleteYeah, PCs are the monsters.
ReplyDelete"So you guys want to play--let's see--a dragonborn, a snail man, a CRAB man, a Four Winds monk, and a tiefling. Sure, that's cool."
