So, we just had a hundreds-of-posts days-of-activity princess thread, full of stories and whatnot, so I feel justified in making a new thread and seeing if anybody posts. This, I think, is a proper opportunity to cause excrement to become completed, as /tg/ is famous for. I've attempted to condense the stories that /tg/ told into some options to work on. Is there any interest in playing/making any of these?

The /tg/vidya princess manager option:
>events (tea parties/balls/visitors)
>kidnapping as a legitimate strategy for the victim to gain status
>a hellish spiderweb of relationships to navigate
>servants of various tiers
>disguises (both for the player and npcs)

The ruleslite rpg:
>social combat everywhere
>physical combat nowhere
>alignment as stats
>quests for princes/status/loot

The oneshot pvp option:
>I don't really know, maybe something like mafia but with cards

Thought: What if we made Super Princess Beatdown, where the fighters are basically unable to hurt each other due to the sheer volume of their poofy sleeves and dresses, but when they get hit, they take clothing damage that makes them more mobile and therefore more dangerous?

I'm seeing the basic turn order as:
>Princess A: I cast "slap."
>Princess B: I absorb slap with my shoes, causing "glass slippers" to become "spiky ass shitwreckers. I cast "kick," gaining 1 extra damage from my new shoe card.

Etc. Tell me if this is going places.
>>
>>21240105

Smells good so far!
>>
>>21240197
Ok. Equipment slots, with all of the types I can think of:
>hat
crown, tiara, princess cone hat
>bodice
dunno
>sleeves
poofy, none+elbow length gloves
>skirt
dunno
>shoes
glass slippers

And attacks: slap, punch, kick, rip

Help me fill in the blanks, /tg/. Also, are cards a good format? If so, is there a good roll20/maptool/etc for custom card games, because if not, this is going nowhere once we hit the test phase. If not, then all of the various modifiers are going to get annoying.
>>
>>21240358
Oh, and the win condition should be knocking the enemy princess' hat off. Forgot to mention that.
>>
>>21240105
I like it.

So we have different pieces of clothing, and we have different attacks. What is the structure of a general turn going to look like? Is there a resource system to determine which/how many cards you can play? Could we start with a base of, "Play one piece of clothing and one attack per turn"? Or how about you start off with 1 play per turn, but certain cards have abilities that modify how much you can play? Maybe "Stiletto Heels" let you make one extra attack per turn, for example.
>>
>>21240358
For some odd reason, I see the various armor cards as having a capacity, as well as health.

The attacks would have requirements to use, such as "free shoes" slot for "asskicking," or "free hat" for "headbutt," but lighter requirements like "less than three shoes" for "kick," or some that were free, like "slap."

I do like cards for this. Would it work better for a shared deck like munchkin, or individual decks like red dragon inn?
>>
>Could we start with a base of, "Play one piece of clothing and one attack per turn"?
The way I imagined it, players start the game with all of their clothing out in the open, and clothing isn't really played as much as it is called on to block attacks.

>For some odd reason, I see the various armor cards as having a capacity, as well as health.
>The attacks would have requirements to use, such as "free shoes" slot for "asskicking," or "free hat" for "headbutt," but lighter requirements like "less than three shoes" for "kick," or some that were free, like "slap."
Yeah, this is not how I imagined it, but it's better, so unless someone comes up with something brilliant, I'm going with this.

>Would it work better for a shared deck like munchkin, or individual decks like red dragon inn?
I would go with shared deck because there's no way in fuck Super Princess Beatdown is going to get enough players that multiple people have their own deck. You could have a draft system for clothes to start out, though.
>>
>>21240528
So, the clothes are armor, I'm assuming you have another pool called, say, "Dignity," full of tokens, representing how high-class your princess is.

Various clothing would have various capacity, depending on what it was, but capacity would be limiting (can't kick if your shoes have more than three, can't roundhouse unless your shoes are empty, something like that).

Attacks would inflict damage, and you can block attacks with clothes. The clothes capacity is how much they can block, and when they do block an attack, they reduce that piece of clothing's capacity by one (represent by putting the attack card behind the clothing).

If an attack exceeds the clothing's capacity, the player has to pay the rest in dignity.
>>
>If an attack exceeds the clothing's capacity, the player has to pay the rest in dignity.
So, would there be a point where princesses are taking hits directly to the dignity? I suppose that eventually they'll run out of clothing. That does create an interesting choice... say I have 1 shoe point, and I want to have 0 so I can super-kick. Do I take 3 damage on my shoes, taking 2 dignity, or do I put it somewhere safe? This is going to take some math, but it's going places.

Also, this opens the door to powerful attacks that cost dignity, which is probably necessary.
>>
>>21240978
Yeah, I think "Teaset to the face" should cost some dignity to use, as well as "Bite her face off," amongst other things.

I think at this point, an enumeration of attacks would be desired, possibly along with a starter set of clothing.

It may be useful to have "emergency clothes" which aren't AS good as the original set, but replace your torn up gloves, or your bodice, or whatever. I'm liking this as a munchkin-esque shared deck type thing.

I'd like to go with 4 attacks per clothing slot, rated "free" to "under 3 capacity" for each slot. Then, maybe a few powerful attacks costing dignity.
>>
>I'd like to go with 4 attacks per clothing slot, rated "free" to "under 3 capacity" for each slot. Then, maybe a few powerful attacks costing dignity.
I think kick based attacks would naturally be effected by both shoes and skirt. Does this mean we're merging shoes and skirt into one thing, or that we're doing attacks with multiple requirements?
>>
>>21241178
Well, if the kicks are skirt-restricted (which sounds reasonable), then would shoes restrict anything, or would we end up with a princess nude but for her glass slippers, taking on all comers?

Maybe some clothes could have additional effects? I don't know.
>>
>Maybe some clothes could have additional effects? I don't know.
Yeah, I definitely want clothing options as part of a "build" system thing.
>>
>>21238842
don't forget princesses constantly sabotaging each other politically. Hiring mercenaries to kidnap an opposing princess' potential husband. Plotting to leech off of, overthrow, or otherwise manipulate kings and queens. Arranging to marry into advantageous families. Offing other princesses with similar goals. And then worst of all taking the wounded-deer gambit route in any of the above by framing other rivals by victimizing ones'self. Imagine, the most evil of princesses hiring thugs to kidnap herself just to pin it on some other princess and frame her as an underhanded jealous bitch.

It never fails that /tg/ repeats itself with "original" ideas.

Princess RPG brainstorming is so 2008, guys.
>>
>>21241360
You say this as if it somehow diminishes the fun. Or are you one of those hipster types that poses as a geek to try and look edgy and "in the know" about arbitrary geek facts?
>>
Ok, let's say that poofy sleeves have 5 HP, no sleeves+elbow length gloves have 3HP and +1 damage to slaps while at full. The arm slot has slap (1 damage), punch (2 damage, 2HP or lower) and rip (4 damage, only effects clothes, 0HP). I feel like this is difficult because it involves coming up with a ton of information at once without testing or feedback.

>>21241313
Framing is good. I don't think we saw any of that in the first thread. We did see sucking gifts out of suitors and then arranging for them to accidentally die, then using the mourning period to suck sympathy out of bystanders, though.
>>
>>21241387
Not in the least. It's just interesting to watch the cycle repeat, with new residents pitching ideas that seem novel but have been voiced before.
>>
>>21241532
So, should we make a card format first, and then test it, or what?

Um, fuck, I have like no talent at art. Anyone else want to hop on this?

Clothing slots (from >>21240358 ):
Hat: Tiara (3 cap)
Bodice: Whalebone Corset (5 cap)
Sleeves: poofy sleeves (5 cap), opera gloves (3 cap, +1 to slaps), knuckledusters (1 cap, +2 to slaps, costs 1 dignity to equip).
Skirt: Petticoats (3 cap, can equip another set of petticoats)
Shoes: slippers (1 cap), glass slippers (2 cap), riding boots (3 cap), spiky shoes (2 cap, +1 to kicks), steel toed boots (3 cap, +1 to kicks, cost 1 dignity to equip).

I think the proposed sleeves are a little tough for armor. By one each, I feel. Then again, I'm assuming the dignity pool would hold like, ten or fifteen tokens.
>>
>>21241560
Nothing is novel. Everything has been done before.

Would "Action" cards go amiss? >>21241313 inspires me to say a card that lets you make another player pay for a card that you play would be appropriate.
>>
>>21241734
I was thinking format, enough cards to test, test, add more cards based on improved sense of what works based on test. We may be nearly at step 3, though.
>>
>The /tg/vidya princess manager option:
Monitoring the thread because I remain willing to do sound for this.
>>
>>21241764
I think action cards are a fine idea. In fact, a lot of the special attacks mentioned (tea set to the face) seem to be things that should get discarded after use, rather than spammed once per turn.
>>
Speaking of princesses, anyone else remember when the guy who made Wulfhammer was around posting the occasional teaser?

That little adventure game was neat.

So I decided to run a game of what we've got so far on Super Princess Beatdown. I started out with a couple of princesses and a review of the attacks available.

Vanessa
Tiara - 3/3
Whalebone Corset - 5/5
Poofy Sleeves - 5/5
Petticoats - 3/3
Glass Slippers - 2/2
Dignity - 10/10

Ophelia
Tiara - 3/3
Whalebone Corset - 5/5
Opera Gloves - 3/3, +1 to slaps
Petticoats - 3/3
Glass Slippers - 2/2
Dignity - 10/10

Slap - no prereqs, 1 damage
Kick - 2 damage, skirt capacity<=1
Punch - sleeve capacity<=2, 2 damage
Rip - sleeve capacity=0, 4 damage to clothes only

TURN 1: Ophelia wins the roll-off to go first and slaps Vanessa for two damage using her opera gloves. Vanessa absorbs this damage on her poofy sleeves (now 3/5) and slaps Ophelia back. Ophelia takes it on her petticoats (2/3).

TURN 2: Ophelia goes for another slap, which Vanessa takes on her poofy sleeves again (1/5). Vanessa, like Ophelia, has nothing to do but slap, which Ophelia opts to take on her petticoats (1/3).

TURN 3: Ophelia slaps Vanessa, who opts to take the damage on her sleeves (0/5) and let the remainder spill onto her dignity (9/10). This frees up Vanessa's arms to use rip, which Ophelia absorbs using her petticoats (which are already at 1/3, so dropping them to 0/3 is fairly painless).

TURN 4: For variety, Ophelia kicks for the same amount of damage, destroying Vanessa's shoes (0/2). Vanessa rips Ophelia's shoes off, raising questions regarding whether you should be able to grab clothes and wield them as weapons/wear them (my inclination is maybe to the first and no to the second).
>>
TURN 5: Ophelia slaps Vanessa's tiara (1/3). Vanessa rips off Ophelia's tiara, for balance.

TURN 6: Ophelia slaps Vanessa right in the petticoats (1/3). Vanessa rips Ophelia's whalebone corset nearly beyond recognition (1/5).

TURN 7: Ophelia slaps Vanessa's corset (3/5). Vanessa, knowing that using rip will just knock 1 point of damage off Ophelia's 1/5 corset, goes for the punch, causing 2 damage to her opera gloves (1/3).

TURN 8: Ophelia goes for another corset slap (1/5), while Vanessa uses another punch to destroy Ophelia's whalebone corset (0/5) and spill 1 damage onto her dignity (9/10).

TURN 9: Ophelia slaps Vanessa's… something. It hardly matters at this point, since she has three articles of clothing at 1/3. Vanessa lets her tiara get knocked off (1/3) and takes a damage point to her dignity. She then rips off Vanessa's opera gloves (causing me to realize that rip needs a clause that the defender can't take it on a destroyed clothing item).

TURN 10: Ophelia slaps off what is left of Vanessa's petticoats. Vanessa punches Ophelia for 2 dignity.

TURNS 11-15: Ophelia and Vanessa take turns slapping and punching each other until Vanessa runs out of dignity, with Ophelia hanging on by the teeth of the skin of her nails at 1/10.

Thoughts: 1 damage is not a lot, and 10 dignity is way too much -- it should get dropped to about 3. The game also needs some random big event cards, but that's so obvious it's hardly worth mentioning. It sort of worked as planned, kind of, which amazes me.

Did another battle, with some revisions.

Vanessa
Tiara - 3/3
Whalebone Corset - 5/5
Knuckle Dusters - 1/1, +2 to slaps/punches, -1 dignity to equip
Petticoats - 3/3
Riding Boots - 3/3
Dignity - 2/3

Ophelia
Tiara - 3/3
Whalebone Corset - 5/5
Opera Gloves - 3/3, +1 to slaps
Petticoats - 3/3
Riding Boots - 3/3
Dignity - 3/3

Slap - no prereqs, 1 damage
Kick - 2 damage, skirt capacity<=1
Punch - sleeve capacity<=2, 2 damage
Rip - sleeve capacity=0, 4 damage to clothes only, cannot be defended against using a destroyed item

Turn 1: Ophelia wins the toss to go first and slaps Vanessa's Tiara down to 1/3 capacity. Vanessa, using her knuckle dusters, punches Ophelia in the corset, knocking it down to 1/5.

Turn 2: Ophelia slaps Vanessa's petticoats, knocking them down to 1/3. Vanessa punches Ophelia for 4 damage again, and because she has no articles of clothing at over 3 capacity, her dignity is taking a hit no matter what. Ophelia absorbs the hit with her petticoats (0/3).

Turn 3: Ophelia slaps Vanessa's riding boots down to 1/3. Vanessa punches Ophelia in the tiara, knocking it off (0/3) and spilling over 1 damage to her dignity (1/3).

Turn 4: Ophelia slaps Vanessa's corset down to 3/5. Vanessa punches Ophelia, and since Ophelia's highest capacity item is 3/3 and her dignity is at 1/3, and the punch does 4 damage, Vanessa wins.

Thoughts: Knocking down the dignity to a really low number was a good idea. Giving knuckle dusters +2 to punches was a bad idea, especially since the capacity on them is so low that they start out being able to punch. Also, it seems that rip is actually sort of useless.

Early game is a small challenge, and the midgame hump is kind of hard to get over, but if you do the powerlevels become kind of ridiculous. Really needs some kind of check.

New battle. This time, I threw together a deck of cards (set, fuck yeah) representing various attacks, including the rare Tea Set To The Face. "1 attack per turn" becomes "play one card, discard one card, and take one card."

Vanessa
Tiara - 3/3
Whalebone Corset - 1/5
Knuckle Dusters - 1/1, +2 to slaps/punches, -1 dignity to equip
Petticoats - 1/3
Riding Boots - 1/3
Dignity - 2/3

Ophelia
Tiara - 0/3
Whalebone Corset - 1/5
Opera Gloves - 0/3, +1 to slaps
Petticoats - 0/3
Riding Boots - 0/3
Dignity - 1/3

Slap - no prereqs, 1 damage
Kick - 2 damage, skirt capacity<=1
Punch - sleeve capacity<=2, 2 damage
Rip - sleeve capacity=0, 4 damage to clothes only, cannot be defended against using a destroyed item
Tea Set To The Face - 3 damage, must be taken on hat slot, -1 dignity to play, return to the discard pile after playing
>>
Turn 1: Vanessa goes first, slapping Ophelia's riding boots (0/3), discarding a rip, of which she had 3, and drawing a kick. Ophelia slaps back, hitting Vanessa's petticoats for 2 (1/3) discards a kick and immediately draws a new one.

Turn 2: Vanessa slaps Ophelia's hat off (tiara 0/3), discards a kick, and draws a punch, tipping things slightly in her favor. Ophelia responds with a slap that badly damages Vanessa's petticoats (1/3), discards a kick, and draws the holy grail that is Tea Set To The Face.

Turn 3: Vanessa punches Ophelia for 4 (Whalebone Corset 1/5), discards a rip, and draws another punch. At this point, she should know that Ophelia has TSTTF. Ophelia saves her big guns for later and does another slap, knocking Vanessa's riding boots down to 1/3.

Turn 4: Vanessa punches Ophelia for 4 (petticoats 0/3, dignity 2/3), discards a punch, and draws a slap. Ophelia slaps Vanessa, who takes it on the corset (3/5).

Turn 5: Vanessa punches Ophelia for 4. Ophelia has to take it on her opera gloves (0/3, dignity 1/3) to avoid defeat. Since her slaps now only do one damage, and she is out of petticoats, Ophelia kicks Vanessa in the corset (1/5).

Turn 6: Vanessa continues to spam punch, and Ophelia has nothing to absorb 4 points of damage, so she is KOed.

Thoughts: I thought it would be a bad idea, but the way things got repetitive makes me think I'm all for discarding cards after they're played and taking out the step of discarding a card per turn. It seems like the game works, it just needs a ton of goofy cards in addition to the attacks.

Turn 1: Ophelia wins the toss to go first, and uses her one slap, which Vanessa takes on her petticoats (1/3). Vanessa retorts with a kick using her freed up legs, which knocks Ophelia's petticoats down to 1/3. Side note: Vanessa's opening hand contains Tea Set To The Face.

Turn 2: Ophelia only has punches and kicks in her hand, and her sleeves are too intact to allow punches. Therefore, she kicks (and draws a slap). Vanessa takes it on the riding boots (1/3) and responds with a +2 slap right in the riding boots (0/3).

Turn 3: Ophelia uses the slap she drew last round to knock Vanessa's corset down to 3/5. Vanessa responds by kicking her opponent in the opera gloves (1/3), which Ophelia desperately needs to get rid of, since her hand is filling up with punches.
>>
Turn 4: Ophelia punches Vanessa's tiara down to 1/3 capacity. Vanessa, in turn, responds with a slap (her only playable, non-TSTTF card) that reduces Ophelia's corset to 2/5.

Turn 5: Ophelia kicks Vanessa's corset down to 1/5. Vanessa fires back with a kick that destroys her opponent's corset.

Turn 6: Ophelia kicks once again, knocking Vanessa's tiara off and hitting her dignity down to 1/3 (making TSTTF unusable). Vanessa responds by kicking, an attack that puts Ophelia's tiara at 1/3.

Turn 7: Ophelia kicks, and Vanessa doesn't have enough functional clothing to survive.

Thoughts: Discarding cards after playing them made things work a lot better. A dodge card that required a low amount of skirts wouldn't be out of place. Vanessa's big advantage with the 4 damage punches was negated rather a lot by the new, more random system. Not sure if that's entirely good or bad.

And so began the second dynasty of the Glorious Lesbian Empire.
>>
>>21273574
So who decides which article of clothing takes damage?
I think having it be the attacker makes more sense fluff-wise, but the defender makes much more sense game-wise.
>>
>>21274056
Right now it's the defender. I think cards that allow called shots are a good thing to have more of (right now TSTTF is an automatic hit to the hat).
>>
Added some special cards.

Vanessa
Tiara - 3/3
Whalebone Corset - 5/5
Knuckle Dusters - 1/1, +2 to slaps/punches, -1 dignity to equip
Petticoats - 3/3
Riding Boots - 3/3
Dignity - 3/3

Ophelia
Tiara - 3/3
Whalebone Corset - 5/5
Opera Gloves - 3/3, +1 to slaps
Petticoats - 3/3
Riding Boots - 3/3
Dignity - 3/3

Slap - no prereqs, 1 damage
Kick - 2 damage, skirt capacity<=1
Punch - sleeve capacity<=2, 2 damage
Rip - sleeve capacity=0, 4 damage to clothes only, cannot be defended against using a destroyed item
Tea Set To The Face - 3 damage, must be taken on hat slot, -1 dignity to play, return to the discard pile after playing
Dodge - Ignore an attack (played out of turn, requires dress capacity<2)
Taunt - Reduce both players' dignity by 1.

Turn 1: Vanessa goes first and has no legal moves. This is the first time this situation has come up, so I decided that she plays a card with no effect, and then gets a new one. For variety, Ophelia opens with TSTTF, knocking her own dignity down to 2/3 and destroying Vanessa's hat.

Turn 2: Vanessa has exactly one legal move, which is taunting. Both princesses now have dignity at 1/3. Ophelia's single available move is slapping, which Vanessa takes on her corset (3/5).

Turn 3: Vanessa punches Ophelia's corset down to 1/5. Ophelia can only slap, and has no slaps, so she discards a kick.
>>
Turn 4: Vanessa delivers a +2 slap to Ophelia's petticoats. Ophelia responds with a second TSTTF, which Vanessa dodges (not dodging would have her take the entire thing on her dignity).

Turn 5: Vanessa pulls off another +2 slap, this time absorbed by Ophelia's now-destroyed opera gloves. Ophelia fires back with a rip, taking out Vanessa's petticoats.

Turn 6: Vanessa's slaps hit harder than her kicks and she keeps drawing them, so no reason to fuck around. Ophelia's riding boots take the hit and go down to 0/3. Ophelia kicks Vanessa's corset down to 3/5.

Turn 7: Vanessa, holding all of the special cards, hits Ophelia with TSTTF. Ophelia rips Vanessa's boots off.

Turn 8: Vanessa superslaps Ophelia, who can only take it on her corset (2/5) to avoid a dignity hit. Ophelia counters with a rip, which Vanessa dodges.

Turn 9: Vanessa kicks, rendering the last of Ophelia's clothing non-functional. Ophelia punches some damage into Vanessa's corset.

Turn 10: Vanessa wins by TSTTF for style points.

Thoughts: Game took forever on account of those wasted turns at the beginning. Usually turn 1 is spent knocking off harmful clothing to speed shit up. Also, special cards help, I think. Drawing could stand to have some more strategy; perhaps a choice between one face up card and drawing from the face down pile, or something.
>>
>>21273975
My personal favorite dynasty. First and third were crap.
>>
>>21275523
Christ man, you just keep coming back.

Though I do have a question, couldn't Vanessa have slapped first turn? Maybe I'm just reading the theoretical rules wrong.
>>
>>21278000
The cards they hold in their hands determine what attacks they have; there's a slap card, a kick card, a punch card, etc. I didn't list the hands every round because it would take forever. If I remember right Vanessa had, like, three rips and two kicks.
>>
>>21278090
Seems like useless cards would pile up pretty quickly.

Perhaps allow the option for a mulligan, at the expense of having one fewer card? Really causes one to question if the mulligan is worth it or not, due to the fact that it lowers your ability to hold onto cards for later.

Also, how did Ophelia do that second TSTTF when that would of knocked her to zero dignity?
>>
>>21291808
Yeah, I was thinking about allowing a mulligan as an alternative to playing a card, actually.

Oh, suppose that was an error and thus a double-KO.

What system do you know uses "divide by 4" as a computation?

>>21306237

You're dividing, at maximum, twelve by four, for a value of three. It's not calculus.

Which, hold on, is not mentioned. Ah, fuck. I have work shortly, but expect an errata'd version I guess late today or tomorrow.

>>21305335
Ok, so who is enough of a badass to run a game of this.

I haven't bothered really compiling the rules because it's such a work in progress. I'll get to work on that right away.
>>
>>21305335
Just doing some proofreading here:
Page 4
>On any roll for which you employ one Demeanor trait that is at its maximum
value, you dice that land on four are also counted successes.
"You," should probably be "your."

Page 5
>The only staff this formula does not apply to is the Champion,
"Staff" is plural (kind of, it's weird); that should be "staff member."

You use the possessive form "princess'" throughout; that's technically correct, but the form "princess's" is considered much more proper, if that's what you want.

Your font choice makes it very hard to tell the difference between commas and periods.
>>
>>21312544
>>On any roll for which you employ one Demeanor trait that is at its maximum

>"You," should probably be "your."
I mean the "you" before "dice," just to clarify.

>>21312544
Cheers for the grammar. I'll see what I can do about the comma/period problem.

I've already got a princess character sheet I intend to throw in, and I plan to make one for Champions as well.

I'll probably end up doing all the 1/4, 1/2 math for you and throw it into another table somewhere.

Is there anything else we'd like to see?
>>
>>21316986
Well, keeping track in a chart isn't much better. They'll just figure out it's 1/4 of whatever number you're dividing. I was just thrown off by the math itself. It'll probably just take some practice.

Maybe a testrun is in order. A sample character sheet, too.
>>
Here's the new version.

http://www.mediafire.com/view/?oy685wzx84rs58k

I've fixed the grammatical errors that were pointed out, and made commas more easily distinguished from periods.

I've added a blank character sheet, and a blank Champion sheet.

I've clarified a number of rules in the Champions section.

Sorry for the delay, I had to take care of some family stuff.
>>
>>21318995

I'm throwing on a name now just for simplicity's sake, and I would like to note that a trial-run would be an excellent idea. I've never GM'd a game over the internet before, however, and should probably not be left in charge of testing.

>>21319659
I suppose I could be persuaded to try running it, then, if we had a couple of players. I have little experience with IRC but I understand it's fairly easy to get into.

Tomorrow I have guests all day, but Monday is open. Is anyone game?

Excellent. I'm thinking maximum three or four players for a first test. We'll see who's interested by Sunday evening, and then we can work out a time for Monday.
