[Interest On] PBP: Mahou Shoujo Magical World

Super NamicchiSuper Namicchi Orange County, CARegistered User regular
So I've scrawled up my own little basic adaptation of the X World games that I'm calling Magical World.

I wanted to know if there'd be 3-4 or so people interested in joining me for an exciting little romp in the Magical Girl genre a la Madoka Magica. As of right now the only thing really finished are the Playbooks, but it's pretty much playable, I just have to put down my basic moves.

The folder with the rules can be found HERE.

If yes, post your interest in Mahou Shoujo Pink!

    I loved Madoka Magica, just got to see it for the first time on the big screen and it blew my mind. I had no idea what I was walking into. That's a very interesting idea for a game.

    it's okay solar

    all you need to do is ask yourself one question

    "can I be cute and kick ass at the same time?"

    if yes then you're good

    I don't know anything about magical girls, or Japan, but this looks like fun so I dunno

  • Super NamicchiSuper Namicchi Orange County, CARegistered User regular
    we shall educate you sir ringo

  • RingoRingo He/Him a distinct lack of substanceRegistered User regular
    Then I'll give it a shot

  • Super NamicchiSuper Namicchi Orange County, CARegistered User regular
    since TVTropes can explain it better than I can:

    http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/MagicalGirl

    I'm still debating on exactly what the setting is going to be like--those of you more familiar with the genre, do y'all have any preferences? I'm wanting to tailor this as much as possible to everyone's preferences, and mine leans more towards Madoka Magica style

    but I am perfectly fine with whatever.

    Ugh you and your anime,s.

    There's four folks already but if you want my unreliable and inconsistent posts, I'm in for magic princess sparkle powers.

    then my mission is complete!

  • Super NamicchiSuper Namicchi Orange County, CARegistered User regular
    i'm not really an 'anime person' or perhaps 'otaku' as the term goes

    but madoka magica is probably one of my favorite shows ever

  • SolarSolar Registered User regular
    I have never seen this fabled show

    though I do like a bit of anime

    ghost in the shell, evangelion, all that stuff

  • Shock GShock G Registered User regular
    it's pretty great

  • RingoRingo He/Him a distinct lack of substanceRegistered User regular
  • Super NamicchiSuper Namicchi Orange County, CARegistered User regular
    people have said that madoka does for magical girls what NGE did for mecha

  • SolarSolar Registered User regular
    well

    that sounds pretty cool

  • RingoRingo He/Him a distinct lack of substanceRegistered User regular
    Only four episodes in, but wow.

  • Super NamicchiSuper Namicchi Orange County, CARegistered User regular

    okay simon, solar, shock g, ringo

    you guys are in

    madoka is recommended viewing but not absolutely required. strongly leaning towards using that setting but I want to get everyone's opinions on that one

    once we get that settled we can get into the character phase

  • simonwolfsimonwolf i can feel a difference today, a differenceRegistered User regular
    I suppose the most important thing to consider regarding the setting is whether or not the important "twists" of Madoka are going to be known elements, or whether it'll be more like Magical Burst, wherein we kind of assume there's something dark about this stuff, but it mightn't/won't be the same as Madoka

  • RingoRingo He/Him a distinct lack of substanceRegistered User regular
    I have no opinion either way, currently. So I'll just put my vote down for whatever setting has people most anxious to play in

  • SolarSolar Registered User regular
    I am gonna watch an episode of this tonight

    and I am going to do so sitting on this sofa in such a way that nobody in my family could possibly see the screen

  • blaze_zeroblaze_zero Registered User regular
    I would be willing to be an alt.

  • RingoRingo He/Him a distinct lack of substanceRegistered User regular
    I'm starting to think that Madoka might be too dark :rotate:

    But then again, the backstories you could cook up for it...

  • Super NamicchiSuper Namicchi Orange County, CARegistered User regular
    ahaha there's no shame in Madoka @solar

    it's some pretty heady stuff as Ringo will no doubt tell you
