I don't think Goku's arc really works if Gohan is still stronger than him. Goku's arc works because we (and the character) assume he's the strongest there is before he gets his ass kicked by Beerus and gets brought down a peg. In a world where Gohan is still stronger than him, I feel Goku would be humble enough to realize he's not the hottest shit.

I get the logic behind that but it also kind of doesn't work given where the Boo arc leaves a bunch of characters (though in the anime Goku is definitively the strongest guy around) and I don't want to resort to the whole "Gohan stopped training!" thing again.

Honestly I like the way the Super anime did it. BoG focuses on Beerus' arc of trying to find someone that can finally make him feel excitement over battle again after years of constant boredom, while it's ResF that focuses on Goku's hubris (whereas the movies just repeat the same arc two movies in a row). Of course, it's poorly done there, and the arc still faces the problem that Goku shouldn't be so arrogant when he literally just met Beerus and Whis, but I feel like you could still write a scenario where it could work.

I won't be doing Resurrection F so I won't run into the repeat problem, not because I don't think you can do something good with RoF, I've already done a remake and I don't even know what I could do with another one.

I've got something completely different: Campaign Comics, which take the series you know, and turns it into a DnD Game. Examples:

Darth and Droids - Star Wars
Grand Line 3.5 - One Piece
Jutsu and Jinchuriki - Naruto

Now, if a Campaign Comic is made of Dragonball, how should it be?

- Should it start at the OG Series, Z, or even later?
- Should filler be used? Should movies be used? Should cutscenes from games be used? Should the manga be used?
- Should it be played completely straight, scene for scene with slight changes that don't alter the spirit of the original, or when believed necessary, retell, remake, and/or recreate scenes, sometimes to the point of a fix fic? What about making whole new scenes altogether?

Biggest question would be, how to deal with the Saiyan prominence, which even for a shonen we all agree is too much fixated on Goku?

I'd say starting with OG DB is a good way of easing people into mechanics & the setting, I wouldn't treat it as a story though, more like a sandbox where you give people all the stuff in the franchise to play around with then let the DMs & players decide how things tie together.

For example, have Freeza be there but instead of being a space emperor, someone can make him a transdimensional conqueror instead or a demon realm lord or something like that.

I think I have a good idea for rewriting SSG. How would you guys like it if in order for a Saiyan to become SSG, they must have a tail?
Caulifla best girl! :)

Might as well just go with SS4 at that point. The tail isn't thematically significant to SSG's design.

So, I think I've worked out how to do Broly and Resurrection F in my DBSuper rewrite in one fell swoop:

What do you think about this idea, guys? Z warriors get absorbed by a board game that belongs to Gohan and to escape from there, they must defeat the bad guys and complete the zones. I named it Dungeons and Dragon Balls.

I like it, there's a lot you can do there with Tenshinhan having to deal with a student who maybe reminds himself of his old self.

So, lately (by the course of several months) I've spent some time thinking about the fanfiction I've been planning on writing, and eventually decided to stop thinking and start writing instead; immediatly I noticed my bigger issue, other than the narrative itself, is the fact of actually writing it in english and while I think of myself being quite fluent, there were lots of grammatical bumps I tripped over, specifically dealing with speeches, and I'm afraid of going much further without assuring myself I can pull this off.

Anyway, I'd like to share the first chapter I wrote and if anyone decides to take a look I'll greatly appreciate. It's a AU where [spoilers] Goku grows up evil and the story focuses on the earthlings.
I'm back!

Lurking around here since 2014. Just an old fan who regained his passion for Dragon Ball since then.

Hi guys, I'm writing a fanfic about gt and super.
can I ask some thoughts on it? It's maybe a bit particular for the way I connect gt and super, but it could work

Well, I'm thinking about writing a small series of short Christmas-themed fabrics, each one being centered around a different character. Would this be a good idea?

I've had some ideas yesterday night.
How do "piccolo becoming hakaishin, tenshinhan becoming god of the earth and uub becoming a kaioshin" sounds to you?
In my latest fanfic I couldn't valorize well ten and piccolo, who are my favourite characters, so I thought about doing a sequel fanfic with this plot line.
I thought about bills wanting to quit being a GoD, and asking to the z fighters who wants to take the place. Piccolo then steps out proposing himself, under kami's advice.
Then, daishinkan, registering a lot of requests like this from other GoDs , decides to make an exam for all the candidates.
The candidates for the GoD roles are : piccolo from u7, ribrianne from u3 (heart shaped hakais incoming lol),and 2 OCS I came out with yesterday : tasek from u1, wanting to take the role of iwne, and shikabe/kashibe (I have to decide wich name to use) from u5, who wants to replace arack as a GoD.
The name puns are :
Tasek = steak
Cause steak is often served with wine
Shikabe/kashibe = shish kebab
Cause arack's pun is an Arab drink, so I've based his fighter on an Arab food.
How do this sounds to you?
