    I'm currently playing a similar cross-over fan fiction TTRPG called Extraordinary League. It's similar to what's described in the video except you play as a pre-existing character from whatever media you like. You get wild situations like: Izuku "Deku" Midoriya wielding Guts' Dragon Slayer against Adventure Time's Lich who has possessed the body of Ouran High School's Nekozawa as they vie over the Necronomicom Ex Mortis. I can't help but love cross-over stuff like this. It gets crazy in the best possible way.

      Old Abraham Lincoln adage, paraphrased. "If you want to test a person's character, give them power.' Power can mean 'the ability to act without consequences for what you do'. And make belief game like Tabletop Roleplaying is something where this happens a lot. People power trip all the time and let the worst parts of themselves shine through in TRPG, whether as players or as gm's. Because it being make belief makes them think it's pure anarchy, even when they are playing in worlds that have rules of society like our own.

    While playing as a Kryptonian would be pretty standard, as their only unique trait would be their laser vision, it would also provide an interesting situation due to knowledge of a yellow sun having an effect seems to be well known, at least in the scientific community. So trying to avoid it or trying to get a handle on the increasing power would be interesting. Especially for the polymorph fight, as its ability to copy a Kryptonian suddenly makes it a walking bomb that can't handle the power it is gaining. This also would be great roleplay, as the characters who fought it inform said Kryptonian of what happened with the Polymorph, giving them the knowledge of where their power would go and the risk of it.

    Speaking of dragons and wizards "overlapping", on a podcast show for the Deathbattle/roosterteeth youtube channel there was a recuring trivia game where they asked the different revolving guests questions about things the other cast and crew knew about but they didn't.
    They'd ask the woman who did all their makeup star wars and star trek questions.
    They'd ask the middle aged and older show runners DBZ, pokemon, and Yugioh trivia.
    And they'd often ask one of their lead animators, who was a massive anime fan and just happened to be black, a bunch of questions about medieval European inspired fantasy stories written for and by old white British folks. One time they asked their animator if he knew about the Hogwarts Sorting Hat and to explain the sorting process. By about the 5th time the black animator said "And then the hat decides who's gonna be the next grand wizard." two of the three white guys on camera were actively panicking and begging him to stop saying "grand wizard" and the third was on his phone googling the term to show their anime fan exactly why the term "grand wizard" never shows up in the Harry Potter movies.

      @gnarthdarkanen7464 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      Some Players like systems like D&D where the rolls going higher is a good thing, and they enjoy it over the long haul...
      Once in a while, though, there are people and dice that somehow just roll (greater tendency anyway) low... SO I keep systems like GURPS around, where the lower the roll, the better your odds of doing the thing...
      AND since GURPS mechanics are based on 3D6, the system is readily and easily picked up by D&D Players and Veterans, too... SO couple that with at least a supplement for ANYTHING (quite literally) to be added into a Game, Setting, or World... and you have a wonderful way to "break up the monotony" without having a lot of extra work on anybody's part for getting along in whatever new game you create...
      The only downside is a bit more "heavy lifting" left entirely up to the GM... GURPS is a Role Playing System, so not exactly a Game... just a series of resources for MAKING the Game... Yet, any decent GM should have no trouble running through the "Basic Set" and putting together a fine Homebrew to cover all the required bases and bring it to the Table... I've been using GURPS 3e (revised) as THE base book for gaming for years when called upon to break up a monotony of D&D Campaigning, one-shots, and misadventure... ;o)
