Castlevania/Tsukihime Setting (with a 5e bouillon cube)

Post by Sir Aubergine »

The Document

Good morning fellow carpers. I have been scratching away at a Castlevania-esque campaign in my spare time. I am also a big fan of Melty Blood, so I thought I could crowbar in Arcueid and some of the hoary villains from the Tsukihime Universe (Fuck the self-insert main character though. Shiki can go pound sand on Arrakis for all I care :roll:) as allies of Dracula.

As of now I have been working almost exclusively on mechanics and 5e expansion material.

I am posting this on the very real chance that my old, wheezing computer gives up the ghost and bricks forever.

Feel free to shit all over my ideas and writing ability if it pleases you. (Just about everyone on this board is a smart cookie and knows TTRPGs better than I do.) :thumb:

The Denner, The Denner’s reflection: [in unison] A Denner is unhelpful, unfriendly and unkind.
The Denner’s reflection: With ungracious thoughts...
The Denner: ...in an unhealthy mind.
The Denner’s reflection: A Denner is uncheerful, uncouth and unclean. Now say this together!
The Denner, The Denner’s reflection: I'm frightfully mean! My eyes are both shifty. My fingers are thrifty.
The Denner: My mouth does not smile.
The Denner’s reflection: Not half of an inch.
The Denner: I'm a Denner.
The Denner’s reflection: I... am a Denner.
The Denner: I'm a Denner!
The Denner’s reflection: That's my boy. Now go out and prove it!

I know even less about TTRPGs, but I would like to kindly point out that He-Man and Transformers are poorly animated toy commercials cartoons, not video games.

And with that bit of pedantry out of the way, I will cease.

No! It's Eric, the half a bee

Right you are! You could also say that MTG and most CCGs (these days) have an online component, but calling them "video games" is a stretch. When I was making the poll, my first few ideas for TTRPG adaptations were video games. I added the title, then added extra choices, but forget that my poll question was no longer accurate.

However, your pedantry tax is to read my document and tell me what you thought about it! :tongue:

Queen, descend, I invoke you, fair one. Hail, hail, hail, Victory! :cool:
I have added a new game mechanic called "Leitmotif." I think it will make sessions much more interesting.
