Henshin!: The Tokusatsu RPG

I remember about a year or so ago a few fa/tg/uys tried making a toku heroes system, but it fell through.

Keep looking, my fellow ally of justice.

>>17547961
1d4chan says and I quote:

Reached alpha status, then got trolled to oblivion.

is this true?

>>17547981
TOH!

>>17547996

If it is, there's no time like the present to rectify that.

I haven't seen Titanium Man post in a while, but I haven't been the most attentive when it comes to /tg/.

>>17548021
unfortunately I don't know the first thing about crafting up a system as I'm an extreme /tg/ newfag

>>17547932
I'm playing a classic Kamen Rider in Mutants & Masterminds in a campaign currently.

The Mecha & Manga supplement has a "Transformation Belt" device, the core book has a "Feature" advantage for playing theme music for HENSHIN and making an Alternate Effect based on the belt for the Rider Punch/Kick

It works surprisingly well. I had to rebalance the stats a few times to get the power level at a reasonable level. Character's way stronger than any other Rider, though.

>>17548066
even more powerful than DICKEIDO?

>onore

>>17548081
>stronger

Strength is relative, I suppose. In the last session, I was trying to take some local yakuza gangsters with super-powered enforcers. I tried to do a shake down of their secondary base (I burned the last one post-Rider Kick, but that's another story)

I went along with another player who was a burnt-out hippie with geomancy powers. He put a rock wall to prevent escape while I jumped on the table and told everyone in the room to give me the information I wanted or I would break all their dinners.

Getting a bit frustrated, I went into the kitchen and got a boiling pot of soup. I placed it on the table of the big sons of bitches in the back who looked the most like gangsters. I told them real plainly I was going to dunk their heads in if they don't give me the info I want.

Another player using teleport powers was in the restaurant eating dinner. He ordered the soup and didn't appreciate my use of his dinner as an interrogation tool, so he sent everyone in the restaurant outside except for the two of us

>(cont)

>>17548156
So the two of us are teleported about a mile away above the bay (the setting is a fairly large city a la Manhattan Island) and I decided "Fuck it. RIDER KIIIIIICK!" I drop a Hero Point for my Skill Mastery and auto-roll a 20. He immediately throws down his own Hero Point for an auto-counter teleportation Aura that sent me into orbit.

And then I was in space.

I wasn't exactly prepared for that, especially considering my suit had a time limit imposed upon it mainly because I thought it would be "fun". So I've been transformed for two minutes and I've got about three left. The other two players (A steampunk speedster and mind-controlling Squid From Space) fought a minion of the BBEG for a few turns while I thought about what to do.

After a little while, I start asking the DM is there's any space junk floating around. He says "Yeah, I guess. There's bit of shit all over the place up in orbit." I ask him if there's any heat shielding. He says sure, there's some floating around.

I decided to tear a hole in the bottom of my boot and use the pressure from what remaining oxygen in my suit to launch towards the heat shield and cause my orbit to decay. Initially, the plan was to wrap the heat shielding around my boot to regain pressurization in the suit, but I failed the fortitude check and nearly pass out, careening back towards the Earth.

>I decided to tear a hole in the bottom of my boot and use the pressure from what remaining oxygen in my suit to launch

Reading this my assumption was you were going to use the propulsion to re-enter the atmosphere head-first (fuck it, you're a Kamen Rider, your helmet can withstand anything) and Rider Headbutt the telefag.

And Gentaro would probably try that, too. Dude tried to get to the moon using a motorcycle.

>>17548215
So at this point, I'm all "Well, that was close." since I had Safe Fall and I could just drop back to the Earth without breaking a sweat. Maybe even do some backflips on the way down or something. However, TeleportBro comments "You're going to die in orbit, y'know. You don't have enough time left on your suit and your human form can't exactly survive re-entry."

Well, shit.

SteamFlash and MindSquid continue fighting a blind old guy who uses Gun Kata while I hatch Too Crazy Not To Work Plan #2. I ask the DM what type of power source my belt uses. He rules behind his hands and says "Anti-matter". This is where shit got silly. Using the last of my strength, I broke off a small piece of the heat shield and shove it into the core of my belt. This causes a massive matter/anti-matter elimination explosion, almost akin to a supernova rocketing me back to terra firma.

I'm running out of options as I'm coming in over water and the suit's going to dissolve just before I hit the ocean and I ask the DM "My bike has Speed Rank 18. If tires are going fast enough, can it glide on water?"

>>17548269
UCHUU KITAAAAAAA

>>17547996
It's so alpha it feels up your 17 year old sister while your parents are still in the room.

>>17548279
>Anti-matter belt power source
>I broke off a small piece of the heat shield and shove it into the core of my belt. This causes a massive matter/anti-matter elimination explosion
>this motherfucker induced a WARP CORE BREACH IN HIS OWN RIDER BELT

Fuck, my idea seems tame by comparison. And just for the record, anti-matter annihilation is WORSE than a supernova. Much worse.

Hell, if anyone learns your suit's powered by anti-matter, god help you.

>iesYang field.
Apparently reCaptcha knows how your belt's functioning though?

>>17548313
that's pretty fuckin' alpha bruh

>>17548279
At this point, TeleBro is kinda freaking out, going into some shit about how a matter/anti-matter explosion would have vaporized me. The DM is trying to explain to him how if the belt was designed to contain that kind of power source, the explosion would just get vented out the hole, effectively creating a rocket nozzle. He also told him to shut the fuck up because Rule of Cool.

As I'm getting closer and closer to the surface of the water, I finally call my bike (I used Battle Hopper as inspiration and called it DynaHopper. It was technically the second iteration, as the first one had been cut in half by a lightning-based swordsman.) Just before hitting the surface of the water, I perform a mid-air flip and throwing the heat shield away from me, grabbing the handlebars and almost dying from the G-forces as I rip ass across the water to a dock. The tires shred as I try to stop, destroying the dock and smashing through a wall. As I come to a stop, my Henshin Belt crumbles, my Rider Form falls apart, and the bike and I fall over.

I'm down for the fucking count, but damn it. I survived space.

>(cont)

>>17548338
>mfw

>>17548338
>damn it. I survived space
This should be your new tagline. (UCHUU...SURVIIIIIIIIIVED!) And I hope that you managed to stammer it out before passing out after all was said and done.

"yeah...I...survived...spaaaaaaaaace*THUD*"

>>17548338
RockHippie shows up and carries my broken body into the ManCave while I took some time to recover. Meanwhile, the news stations are going fucking crazy over the FUCKHUEG explosion which is described as "the loudest noise you or anyone has ever heard". SteamFlash and SpaceSquid notice, but are too busy getting their asses kicked to investigate.

TeleBro shows up on the scene, sees the destroyed dock, the smashed wall, and the smoking remains of DynaHopper. He realizes I'm still alive and puts explosives on the bike and teleports it to EXPLOSIONVILLE. Out of character, I mourn my sweet ass bike and already plan DynaHopper III.

RockyHippie keeps me safe in the underground ManCave while TeleBro rips through the fucking town looking for me. After I Rider Kicked him, he broke every bone in his body, but I kicked him into the bay where his water-based Regeneration started working. Tough luck, eh.

This goes on for a few turns until RockHippie decides to go on a beer run. TeleBro immediately grabs him, Rocky gives him a big NOPE and hops straight down through the concrete. TeleBro starts rending the concrete and dirt, going straight down into the molten core until he can't take the heat and has to resurface.

>(cont)

>>17548372
Truly, he has earned the name Kamen Rider.

>>17547996
I only recently got into Kamen rider by randomly downloading "Kamen Rider ooo" (and loving it!!) I think Ill have my group give this a try as soon as i can.

>>17548434
OOO is...interesting? But not the best ever, I'd even say not a great starting place. The season before (Double) is just classy as fuck, and manages to wield its rider gimmick better than OOO did.

That said there's still plenty of memorable stuff. Cakeboss is legend on /m/, so much so that we gave him his own show. You've got to have balls the size of Ollianus Pius to see the skyscraper you're in being destroyed by the nihilism monster your own goon created and decide to fuck it, KEEP BAKING THIS CAKE.

>>17548407
Retrieving a Super Awesome HeatSuit, TeleBro has decided to tear apart the inside of the planet for the sole purpose of ripping my legs off. All the other players are freaked out because they're pretty sure I'm going to have to change my name to Torso Rider in a bit.

I sit back, cool as shit. Shrugging my shoulders, I glance at the last Hero Point I have on the table and tell TeleBro to come find me. I'm not worried a damn bit.

After TeleBro can't find shit, I decide to hell with it and use my Hero Point to stabilize and wake up. Rocky tells me that TeleBro is after me and that I should wait here until I heal.

This is where shit got real. I looked Rocky's player in the eye and said "Let him come. As I was falling back to the Earth, I realized what it is I must do. I do not deserve the title of Kamen Rider. Through my own selfish and petty actions, my actions are befitting only of a man in a bug suit. I've destroyed the belt given to me by Old Man Hongo and will never transform again. But I will face him nonetheless. Take me to the surface."

Rocky helps me stand and takes me up to the surface, TeleBro is immediately there, Rocky skips outta Dodge back to the ManCave

>(cont)

>>17548482
TeleBro is right there in front of me, and he's going to rip my legs off.

"The Society killed my wife. They killed my daughter. They made me this way... and they will pay for what they've done. I know my mission now and you will not stand in my way. We will meet in battle again... and then you may try to take my legs."

He laughs. "Uh, no. You broke every bone in my body. I'm taking your legs."

Super Awesome Toku Pose: "I may have broken your bones, but they have broken... my soul."

The DM pitches me a Hero Point and TeleBro goes for the Attack Roll. I pitch the Hero Point back across the Table for an auto-20 Persuasion check. The DM says it's a no-go because I have no skill mastery in social skills.

>(cont)

>>17548464
I've heard ooo's isn't quite the best place to start, I have Kamen Rider W and Fourze downloaded as well. I'll try and find Double then. So if your saying "Double" and other series are better than ooo's I think i'll be in heaven. I really love ooo's Eji and Anhk fighting is always funny, Date is the shit and I really liked Uva, Gamel and Mezul. Also I flipped my lid when they showed what really happened with Dr. Maki as a kid.

>>17548518
DM says to me "I can't give you an auto-20, but I think I've got something a little better.

'A large white light explodes behind you and all of the dead Kamen Riders walk forward. Ichigo holds out to you a new belt unlike any of the others. He says to you, "Takeshi Fujioka, you have fought bravely. Take this belt and fight on... for JUSTICE."'

And then I was in the core of the Earth.

>>17548543
Yeah, those are all some of the higher points of OOO, but if you liked a lot of that stuff you'll probably REALLY like Double (which now would be a good point to say IS "W", japs pronounce the letter W as 'double' so it gets said either way...and it's kind of a double meaning...)

Pic related, your punch is irrelevant

>>17548556
Go on.

>>17548571
Sweet! Thanks much for the info, I always appreciate it when /tg/ introduces me to something cool. I'm off for the night, best of luck to Op and anyone else who will be trying out these systems.

>>17548556
I do a Henshin pose and have the DM play theme music every time I transform. He hits play on this:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4UKYVc-WA8w

HENSHIN!

Rocky feels a disturbance in the core of the Earth and sends a Diamond Magma Worm to rescue me, swimming up to the surface and bursting out of the water.

I'm transformed into a new suit, riding on top of the Diamond Worm, the sun behind me and it's fucking GLORIOUS.

I stand up out of my chair and pose.

"Justice... will never die."


I don't think I can describe how awesome that felt. Needless to say, everyone else in the group was pretty stoked. TeleBro was into it OOC, so I was cool with all the shit that went down.

Revenge will have to come later.

>>17548602
And to answer the question: Yes.

My Kamen Rider is stronger than Decade.

So... uh, did anyone else like Hibiki?

>>17548661
>Hibiki

>>17548629
I shed a single manly tear and want to become a hero of justice even more.

>>17548661
I still cannot bring myself to finish watching it, because I know they ruined it (and I'm deep enough into the Kiriya bullshit that I know it's not just hyperbole from /m/).

But until THAT point, it was good on its own merits. Hell, even after that it still did some things well.

>>17548661
Every time I tried watching an episode I fell asleep.

>>17548674
Everyone loves justice.

And scarfs, gotta have a scarf.

>>17548703
>>17548703
That's his lucky ascot

>>17548703
Anyone else really disappoint with the lack of scarves in Heisei?

>>17548602
Thats it. We need a KR System. One that is NOT in alpha. Who's with me?

>>17548833
Mutants and Masterminds.

That was easy.

>>17548833
it is what Hongo would do

Welp. Antimatterbeltfag. You are my new favourite person. You should...do stuff...more. Because it's good.

Just wanted to get that out there. You're making me want to DM a Rider game somehow. Not sure if I want to brave M&M2, or M&M3 for that matter, but want to do SOMETHING.

Okay /tg/ if someone wants to make a system where does one start?

>>17549308

You could use the unfinish Henshin!: The Tokusatsu RPG as base. For my case, I have thinking about using on my existing system idea for henshin rpg.

Because I´m in vacation now, I could properly try to write rule light system for playing henshin heroes genre and post on /tg. But I can't promise that I will be done with it.

>>17549511
If you could that would be awesome.

Before I post some of my rough draft of my henshin rpg. I like to post some links about a japanese fan rpg that are based on Kamen Rider settings.

http://d66roc.wordpress.com/2011/04/21/kamen-rider-masquerade-style/

http://j-rpg.com/talk/discussion/41/from-komiket-heisei-kamen-rider-trpg-masquerade-style-2nd-ed./p1

I´m little interesting about the Battle, Support and Drama roles type that they mention about and I thinking about adding those idea to my own system..

Ok here is some part of the rules.

Might (M): Might is character raw strength ability to lifting and moving heavy objects, and also ability to strike hard with great power. Character with high Might can lift or move large objects with no problem while character with low Might may have problem pushing away or lifting up heavy objects. Character that use Might stats for combat may fight in more raw power or forcefull style, example like karate, kickboxing, or wrestling.

Finesse (F): Finesse determined character's dexterity and speed. Character with high Finesse may move faster or dodge the attack with ease while character with low may move clumsie or slow. Character that use Finesse stats for combat may fight in more dexterity or fast style example like capoeira, kung fu or rapier fencing.

Wits (W): Wits determinated character's intelligence and insight. Character with high Wits may be very smart or wise while character with low Wits are more stupid or not very aware of situations. Character that use Wits stats for combat may fight in more calculated or timing style example like aikido or tai chi.

Presence (P): Presense determinated character´s charisma and willpower. Character with high Presence may be very strongwilled or very charming while character with low Presense may not be very social or that they are weakwilled. Character that use Presense stats for combat may fight in more strong willed or gracefully style.

Ok that is all for now.

Initiative: Character with high Initiative are allowed character to act earlier and give them edge to effect the combat. While character with low Initiative act much later turn and may end always as defender than attacker. Character's Initiative is equal their Finesse + Presence.

Setback Limit: Setback Limit determinated character's ability withstand physical, mental or social damages before they get defeated. All player characters start with 4 Setback Limit. For minions they have only 1 Setback Limit while monster boss is determinated on all player character's Setback Limit

Momentum Points: The player character´s always start with 1 Momentum Point. Momentum Point give character edge to ability to perform greater feat or perform special abilites.

Team Points: The player's group always start with 1 Team Point. Team Point work like Momentum Point but diffirents is that the point can be shared around other players.

Is this where people were getting 'MOMENTUM!' from when they suggested it for my game?

Could someone work together Kamen Re-entry bro's story together into one image? I'd do it but my computer tends to fuck itself over if I try.

>haddlgi SEIGE
There ain't no SIEGE that can stop the Rider of Haddlgi!

>>17548021

I'm still around, but I assumed Henshin was dead and left it at that.

>>17551740
Holy fuck that's the character I drew for the Henshin! Beta!!!! I can't believe someone actually saved it and remembered it!

>>17552057
