RPG anyone?
I noticed a few of you have the same cheesy DBZ RPG book as I do. Is anybody up for organizing an RPG? I enjoy playing them, but hate GMing them.

Complicated. Let's wait a bit for others to respond. Personally I'd like to cut steps out.

And no I'm not "at it again". As I said, I was never into GMing, just playing.

"GM" is the one who organizes the RPG and makes sure nobody cheats, etc. The rest I don't know either.askani son wrote:Can someone explain some of the terms you are using here?
I wouldn't mind some RPG action but I haven't the faintest idea what you are talking about beyond that...

And you are at it again since you're trying to organize a DBZ RPG, which you did before. Just, last time, you planned to GM it yourself... lot harder than it sounds. x_x

Well if enough people show an interest, I'm in. I haven't RP'd in a while. Would be fun to do some again. I wonder if we'll be allowed to make up our own characters and races or just stick with the ones from the series?

Should we go according to that cheesy "official" DBZ RPG, or adapt them somehow? I still can't figure out what power levels are required for... (other than when you can learn certain techniques)
Also, they had a bad case of making shit up as they go along. I didn't even bother to buy the last two books.

Oh god, do NOT play that game.
NO. NO. NO. NO.
That was the first table top RPG I ever played, it's what got me into D&D, and for that I love it, but do not - under any cercomstances - play that sorry excuse for a role playing game.
If you want to play an rpg, a real rpg, play D&D.
If you want to play a DragonBall rpg you need to make your own (and trust me that'll take a long time to get right, like 5 years and counting.)

This might seem like a really stupid question, but what exactly do you mean by playing an RPG. I know what the term means in regards to video games but I have no idea clue what anyone here is talking about. Are you planning on creating your own game, or something like that?
EDIT - I just noticed the link that desirecampbell posted and I seem to understand the concept much better now.

NaNoWriMo or NaNo for short.I wasn't aware National Novel Writing Month went by anything other than, well, "National Novel Writing Month."
Ya, they're basicly trying to set-up an 'old school' RPG. The father of the current Video Game RPGs using pen and paper (er, well, killobytes and... er, killobytes in this case).This might seem like a really stupid question, but what exactly do you mean by playing an RPG.

GOD, yes! Which is why I never got around to completing my RPGs over the years. Add the fact that the fad died down, table-top RPGs aren't popular, and the fact that I just want to play and not GM, and many attempts ended up falling flat.desirecampbell wrote:Oh god, do NOT play that game.

As for Talsorian's gameplay... WTF was up with that?! I just visited their site. They blame most of it on FUNi and "everything will be explained in the next book." Turns out I'm only missing 1 book and not 2-3.

Ha ha. 'Everything will be explained in the next book.' More like 'everything will be contradicted in the next book.' I hate that system, it's based off of their 'fuzion' system which is alright for 'regular' super heroes but in DragonBall Z everyone is basically a demi god in kung fu outfits.Dayspring wrote:GOD, yes!
