#RWBY Tabletop

[caelumangeli]

Talking to one of mty friends about the RWBY tabletop oneshot i wanna do and im excited talking about the character creation part.

Currently also working on premise for the plot which ill need to flesh out (and could use help and recomendations)

Basically there is a large island off of Mistral that suddenly apeared roughly a week prior. Now you know of tales that spoke of disapearing or moving islands, but all from long ago before the great war. It was simpoly just a story.

Days prior to its arrival swarms of grimm have been spotted near the waters and making their way to land. Due to this, a team of Hunters was sent to investigate this strange island and the source of the sudden grimm appearances. Now its been a week and there was been no word from the team that was sent, the number of grimm showing up are getting larger and the number of disappearances is growing.

Basically the team is going to investigate this strange island and try to figure out what was going on with it, whys it there, and if its the cause of whats been going on the past week.

I have a couple ideas as to what it is and what would be going on. I wanna talk more and get more thoughts on it but i dont wanna say too much here bc my friend who might be playing could see it

Watch SMMR of RWBY - The Paradigm RWBY TTRPG: an Introduction

Here is the link to the discord server!

Do you enjoy action packed, dynamic tabletops? Are you possessed with a desire to kick Grimm butt and take down bad guys with your super awesome OC? Does the idea of putting together cool, powerful builds for your character and getting rewarded for describing your amazing moves in combat for an experience powered by both hard mechanics and RP get your aura all fired up and ready to go? Well, this might be the TTRPG system for you! Built from the ground up instead of being converted from something else, the Paradigm RWBY system is hand-tailored to capture the feel of the show we all know and love within the space of a tabletop roleplaying experience perfect for not just one shots but full blown campaigns as well! In this video you will be walked through the basics of the system, and the process of creating a character in order to play with a small showcase of a mock combat at the end to give just a taste of what playing in a game is like. Links for the Player Handbook and GM Guide for the system along with a link to the main hub Discord server will be posted on the SMMR of RWBY Discord and eventually on the Twitter for the system. Feel free to message one of the playtesters for the system, Pyrope herself directly on Discord for the PDF's and links to the server as well!

WHAT IS SMMRofRWBY? To the surprise of no one, the RWBY FNDM has some incredible talent! In RWBY's current hiatus, we wanted to come together to shine a light on these labours of love, and inspire even more! Since the fans are many, the love is a lot and timezones are plenty: instead of a one-off event like RTX, the many events for SMMR of RWBY will take place over a month-long period of time! We’re planning many different kinds of events with the community! Live panels about creative projects, games, video essays, and more! There’s something for everyone!

Yes! RWBY is like most anime, aimed at teenagers, not kids!

I already said this on Twitter, but I'll also say this here, too: people who start watching RWBY need to come with the mindset that it isn't a kids show.

I say this because I'm seeing fans from other cartoons migrating here because of the positives of the show and some similarities between their show and RWBY, and while that is true (RWBY is fun and goofy and colorful and positive), you also have to know, before you start watching, that RWBY also covers some heavy themes.

I know kids shows also handle heavy themes. I watched ATLA and TLOK growing up. I've watched The Owl House. Those three handled some really heavy themes at times, but they were mostly directed to kids. RWBY is a show mainly directed to an older audience, and I can assure you the way they handle the heavy themes is darker than in those previously mentioned shows, specially in the latest volumes, so you gotta come with that mindset. RWBY is not for kids, and definitely do not let little kids watch it.

I say that last thing because I recommended it to one of my friends as she said it looked fun so she'd watch it with her little brothers (they're five years old) and I had to literally tell her “don't you dare let your brothers watch this.”

As the sun sets and the cool breeze starts to fill the air, there's something magical about gathering around a tabletop fire pit. Whether you call it a mini fire pit or a tabletop fireplace, these compact wonders have the power to transform any outdoor space into a warm and inviting haven.

Do you have any recommendations for TTRPGs that emulate JRPGs well, or have a very JRPG-like setting? I find the unself-conscious mixing of fantasy, sci-fi, and steampunk elements that's commonplace in JRPGs very appealing, as well as the inventive combat and advancement mechanics (for reference I am playing the first Trails in the Sky game right now and I am enjoying it very much).

You've got several distinct questions there, though you may not realise it, and I'm going to tackle them in order.

First, with respect to emulating JRPGs and JRPG-like settings at the tabletop, it's hard to go wrong with, well, actual tabletop JRPGs. While English localisations of Japanese tabletop roleplaying games are admittedly thin on the ground, there are a few of them out there, including official translations of Double Cross, Golden Sky Stories, Ryuutama – Natural Fantasy Roleplay, Shinobigami, and Tenra Bansho Zero, as well as the odd partial fan-translation, of which Meikyuu Kingdom and Nechronica are probably the most notable. (No direct links to the latter two because fan-translation is technically piracy, though I'm sure you can chase them down on your own if sufficiently inclined!) There are a lot of cultural assumptions about what an RPG is and how it ought to work that aren't going to come across in an Anglophone author's attempt at genre emulation, so you'd be well served to go straight to the source.

(I vaguely recall that there are also a couple of Japanese indie RPG authors self-publishing their works in English via itch.io, though it’s late and names escape me at the moment – if anyone reading this can point us in the right direction, please do!)

Second, with respect to emulating the steampunk science-fantasy settings that Western fandoms often associate with JRPGs (though they're far from universal within the genre – their apparent prevalence is more a reflection of what gets localised than of the genre as a whole), the above-cited Tenra Bansho Zero will give you that in spades, though it's also one of the most rules-heavy entries on that list. If you have a specific desire to play in a game where the party consists of a cursed samurai, a child mecha pilot, a Shinto MiB, an oni Jedi knight, and Robocop, that it'll do.

If you'd prefer something less crunch-heavy, or more American-style in its game design approach, you might alternatively have a look at Anima Prime. It's not a localised title, but its lighter and more familiar approach may be an easier sell for your group than dropping Tenra Bansho Zero's seven hundred page rulebook on them. Aesthetically, it sits somewhere near the RWBY-meets-Final Fantasy XIII intersection.

Finally, with respect to emulating the combat of The Legend of Heroes: Trails in the Sky specifically, that’s a tough one – I don’t think any Japanese tabletop RPGs with proper grid-based tactical combat have workable English localisations at the moment, even taking fan-translations into account. In terms of non-localised games, I’d probably go with something like Valor; it’s basically an anime-themed Dungeons & Dragons 4th Edition clone, but then, most games that focus tightly on grid-based tactical combat are to varying degrees these days – D&D4E is extremely good at what it does, the protestations of certain vocal grognards who don’t approve of what it does notwithstanding.

Some fun RWBY lore I just remembered: This was ONLY covered in RWBY: The Grimm Campaign (a tabletop RPG campaign that the creators of the show livestreamed), but Ruby's and Yang's Uncle Qrow is actually famous.

He has fans around the world.

Nobody in the show who doesn't know him personally ever seems to recognize him.

He is the Tony Hawk of Remnant.

Beautiful.

with all the RWBY heartbreak (rip v9) and my want to create more and write more i found stuff for a RWBY tabletop and now im trying to get a few friends who are interested because i want to make like a oneshot in that universe to play through. and RWBY has a very creative character creation i want to use more of

[strqyr]

On the topic of Lionheart, Salem got him really good for him to sell out his very own Huntsmen, his own students(I'm speculating his age being near Ozpin and many of the Huntsman Qrow was looking for might have been around his age group/maybe slightly older but still young enough to all have been taught by Lionheart. The RWBY tabletop played by Kerry has Lionheart sending Huntsman to their deaths as a plot point)

selling them out was probably made a tiny bit easier knowing he wouldn't have to be the one to kill them—that's what hazel and tyrian were for—but still, he definitely would have known some, if not most of them, considering some of these were huntsmen and huntresses who worked directly for the council. they wouldn't have necessarily gotten their missions from mission boards, but rather from lionheart directly ("we lost so many great huntsmen, teachers from this very institution" says a lot), and the rest, well. qrow would consider at least some of them his friends, and about shiro specifically he said they "go way back", so he could have met them while still in school—meaning if lionheart was already a teacher / the headmaster back then, some of the very well could have been his students.

i don't remember exactly what was said in the grimm campaign, but its events take place two years before the start of the main show; that's at least 2-3 years, maybe more, of sending huntsmen and huntresses he possibly knows beyond "they accepted a mission from a mission board" to their deaths. ouch.

Do you miss the RWBY deckbuilding game?

You're in luck, because someone remade the game in scratch. You'll need to be patient with the slow animation, but it works! There's also no AI to play against, so you'll either be playing against yourself or someone you can pass your computer to. There's a mobile version, but I haven't tried it to see how well it works.

Originally found it here

While I'm at it, another person put the cards together in a google drive here:

Originally found it here

Although I noticed from here that there are actually a few more cards. They're a little blurry, bit if you squint you can see what the cards' abilities are. I'll go through it sometime and transcribe them. It also seems like the game has been preserved in Tabletop Simulator, but I don't have that game so I can't check myself to see if that's still the case.
