>world of Evangelion. Giant robots, A.T. Fields, intrigue, and madness and more.

Seems an odd thing to do when you can just use Cthulhutech, but I'll take a look all the same. Thanks op.

>>7286887

Fair enough. I just found that Dark Heresy worked really well for it.

The combat system is sufficiently brutal, and it has a built in Insanity system (a major plus).

BESERKER UNIT 01 TIEM

Does it have rules for being a whiny little cunt? Shinji is about the worst protagonist in all of mecha anime, and there are some shit characters out there.

>>7286909
> Cthulhutech

I just couldn't get into C-tech. Just about the only thing I liked about it was it's Drawbacks... which I stole for Adeptus Evangelion and never looked back.

>>7286927

There is a career path for Pilots interested specifically in specializing in BERSERK MODE.

They can't auto-Berserk, but they are much more likely to and they get mad bonuses for it.

>>7286940
> Does it have rules for being a whiny little cunt?

Would you believe... yes?

There are a couple of drawbacks that were added specifically for people who wanted to mimic characters of the show. Thankfully, it is in no way required and making a Kamina-esq character is just as easy as a Shinji.

So, it's 40k plus EVA, eh? Sounds familiar.

Are there rules for taking over the Earth Cradle using mind worms, thus converting it into a flying, teleporting superfortress nightmare fuel Angel thing, then trying to force humanity to ascend to a higher state of evolution? Or using the power of Chaos to pilot the Eva?

>>7286970
>making a Kamina-esque character is easier
>THE ENEMIES OF HUMANITY SHALL DIE, BY MY HANDS THEY SHALL BE BROKEN

>>7286997

Nope. But I will admit that I know what you are talking about.

There is a system for randomly generating you own Angels, and Angelspawn (as seen in Shinji and 40k) ARE a possible power of theirs. This gives the pilots the oppertunity to fight multiple smaller opponents, or to have to purge small swarms of creatures to curb the collateral damage they are inflicting on your Base of Operations.

The general approach of Adeptus Evangelions is thus: The original storyline is there, but you are under no obligation to follow it. For example: the provided sample Bases of Operations are the First Nerv Branch in Boston MA and the Third Nerv Branch in Berlin Germany.

>>7286940
>Shinji is about the worst protagonist in all of mecha anime, and there are some shit characters out there.

Well come to the point of the character. Glad you could join us.

Evas are not robots.

>>7287075

Correct. But in general conversation it's easier to just say 'robots' than to say "genetically modified cloned Aliens that have been partially lobotomized, stuffed with cybernetics and covered with restraining armor".

However, the game goes to some length to impress upon the players that what they are piloting are not robots in any way.

rolled 5, 6, 5 = 16

>>7287163
Why not?

>>7287131
>>7287133

Yes on both accounts.

@ Subprocessor: There is a reason why I used Dark heresy, and brutal critical hit charts are among them. I had to write up entirely new charts for the Eva's though, and I don't think that the blood spray is QUITE 100 stories. But it's close.

@ Anon: with ease. You should be able to port most of what you want from Dark Heresy into Adeptus Evangelion and vice-versa to create whatever level of mish-mash you want. Just decide which universe you are using as your baseline first and it should be fine.

>>7287169
It doesn't excuse the poor choice of subject matter. I've heard the argument that Eva was supposed to be some kind of "desconstruction" of the genre - intentionally being shitty for shit's sake. That just doesn't fly. If you're making an awful series, it's awful. Claiming you meant it to be awful doesn't make it any less so.

>>7286867
Ah yes weeaboos and the people who troll them defiantly /tg/ shit here. Can we also discuss how eva killed animu by being successful enough to be copied and causing the cliches to be done ad nauseum it'll be so edgy and relivant to /tg/.

>>7287189
>intentionally being shitty for shit's sake
You don't... know what a deconstruction is? Go to TvTropes.

>Claiming you meant it to be awful doesn't make it any less so.

Correct, but it changes the object of the film/series/whatever you made.

>>7287176

the blood shower could be a 100 stories tall depending what you took the size of an Eva as and if the wound was just right

>>7287189

The series itself wasn't awful (in my opinion, your milage may vary). But certain elements were specifically designed to be dissapointing.

Shinji Ikari is not a hero. He is a 14 year old boy in need of a hug and a sit-down who gets thrust into what can only be described as the most stressful and traumatic situation EVER. While he is certainly an emo little shit, most of his complaints throughout the series are entirely legitimate (especially considering the way he has been treated by Gendo: World's #1 Dad).

Its the classic coming-of-age tale, except the boy doesn't overcome and because of it the whole of humanity pays the price.

Speaking of height, how tall do you treat the evas as being?

>>7287223
Exactly people don't want anything but super awesome robot fighting from characters who overcome everything because otherwise it reminds them of real life. People don't want shitty characters they deal with shitty people every day of their god damn lives.

>>7287215

I put the size of the Average Eva to be about 40 meters tall. Because The size is obviously inconsistent and that's what Wikipedia claimed was the average size based on the size of Sachiel's foot to a car, Kaworu to the size of Unit-01s hand and a bunch of other factors. Obviously, in some scenes it is drawn much bigger, but the game does it's best to ignore that.

>>7287241
Depends on the animator.

Well, I've read over it and hey... not too shabby OP. Some nice work within the DH system.

>>7287248

It's a matter of preference, really.

>>7287251
rebuild uses the 40m figure, so does SRW F, you are good

>>7286867

What the HELL ASS.

OP, you didn't mention that ITS 263 FUCKING PAGES.

FUCK. You have WAY too much time on your hands.

...

but thanks.

Semi-related, but it's something that I noticed while watching Eva recently:

Why do people call Cthulhutech "Cthulhu + Evangelion?" I mean:

-Completely alien lifeforms that can turn you into a gibbering wreck just by glancing in your direction.
-Attempts to understand and utilize the knowledge and nature of the otherworldly beings drives people batshit insane.
-The characters are just normal, everyday(if a bit damaged) people who get thrown into this crazy shit.
-Survival rate is measured in varying degrees of "no."
-More shit I can't be arsed to think of.

Eva IS Cthulhu already.

>>7287295

Good to hear.

hey, /tg/ I figure this would probably be the best place to ask (I don't frequent this board much).
do any of you LARP? I'm not too interested in playing, but I would like to study up on it a bit. More or less research for a project I'm doing. Well, tell me anything and everything, please?

>>7287311
OP I applaud you I have to say I had a blast playtesting.

>>7287352
oh fuck. wrong tab

Tying on the CTech mentions. I read here one of the books had an alternative resolution system, someone knows which one?

>>7287310
But cthulhutech is shitty so it doesn't even need to be discussed.

I don't know much about Dark Heresy, but the rules seem well written and well thought out. I'm quite enjoying it, and may purchase the DH rulebook just to try them.

props to OP

do so. it really is a good game.

>>7287377
Vade mecum there was a card based system. It really puts more power into your players hands which may be good or bad your your style of playing. I find that retooling the chaosium system may be one of the better ways to run it.

>>7287395
go ahead try selling your BAWWWW MY CHARACTER IS SO FLAWED AND FAILES ISN'T AWESOME?! shit and see how it goes. No one gives a damn beyond some pathetic art students who jack off to nearly anything that isn't the standard.

>>7287310

Because it's stated in the acknowledgments that Eva heavy influenced the Engels.

>>7287401

Even with the PDF, there is nothing like the book sitting in your lap.

Fine looking book OP. Have to give it a proper what-for with my group on holiday.

Shinji isn't a coward. What he is is vocal about his fear. All the insane shit going on around him scares the shit out of him. As well it should. Yet time and again he still goes out to fight, and ultimately he does overcome at least some of his problems in EoE.

People just call him emo because he isn't the typical GAR mecha protoganist. Which is the entire point of his character.

>>7287480

Fair enough. Just wanted make sure that they knew the option was there.

>>7287484

Hope that goes well for you. If you ever get the chance, post commentary on /tg/ for me. I can't even begin to tell you how much i would appreciate good playtesting feedback.

I playtested it myself, obviously, but projects much better funded than this have been released with bugs. Anything that I can be informed of, I will do my best to fix.

>>7287223
>>except the boy doesn't overcome and because of it the whole of humanity pays the price.

Um...yes he does. Because of his decision to return to the world and not become tang he saves humanity.

Shinji saves humanity, he doesn't destroy it. Seriously, did you people even see the movie?

>>7287401
Oh, I saw. It's just I much rather have a copy right in my l-

>>7287480
Well, this really.

>>7287511

Well, that, and a lot of the DH PDFs I've seen /tg/ have are frankly shit. there are a large number of bad scans, I would give a good deal for a proper PDF that is not a scan, but the sort you can use the pointer to select some text, and copy-paste elsewhere.

>>7287520
But he DOES destroy it. It was him who caused Instrumentality, thus having all the souls ripped from their bodies. It wasn't until he was told that people could come back that he rejected it.

Reported for two counts of copyright infringement. Do your part click the report button on the megaupload so that they take it down and this blatant lack of integrity and morals is stopped.

>>7287511

Not to sound ungrateful, however. Thank you for doing all this!

>>7287520

At that point, most of the human race is already tang, and most will likely never successfully reconstitute.

And even then he only chose physical existence then because merging his conciousness with the rest of humanity as LCL set off his Hedgehog Dilema of "TOO FUCKING CLOSE" something fierce. That, and the idea that he has just killed the entire human race made him go "Oh shit! Ctrl-Z! CTRL-Z!"

>>7287552

Another one.

I've gotta say, I'm digging through the rules right now, and I can see you put a lot of work into this. Kudos. The rules of DH are still something I'm trying to work out.

The only problem with me is that I don't think I have a group who'd actually sit down and play, and I don't feel myself creative enough to write an adventure. Isn't it sad......;_;

Not sad, just fucking sucks that my group is filled with meme spouting fags, and vapid bitches who bring their personal life into the fucking group. Seriously, guys. Expand your fucking horizons.

>>7287729
By your logic, since they are fags, they neither need nor particularly want pussy.

Sort of a self-defeating insult.

Lol'd at the 'rip and tear' talent.
OP, you are a God among insects. Ungrateful, irritating insects.
/tg/, I want to at least see something like an 'actual play' thread, or campaign recaps in the future. This looks like it could be a seriously fun game, and a good one to inflict on my neophyte weeaboo group.

Wonderful, another thread ruined by fucking morons who can't understand that not everyone likes the same shit they do.

Add the retarded complaints that "ITS NOT HOT BLOODED ENOUGH HUR DUR" and it's like I'm really browsing /m/!

I just downloaded, copied 12 times, and am giving to the 6 people in my gaming group, 5 individuals who have expressed interest in DH, and one of my friends who runs the biggest piracy network on campus.

>>7287765

>>7287765

You missed the point of the insult. Even though they may not want pussy, they are fags. Faggoty fags who engage in all manners of faggotry well into the wee hours of the faggy morning.

You know, the only problem I see with trying to run an Evangelion RPG... is trying to run an Evangelion RPG.

You'd need a good GM, and some Real Roleplayers, because this isn't your average heroic mecha pilot game. An Eva RPG is gonna be grimdark realism, including realistic characters.

That being said, my character in such a game would be panicky, and insist that they're nothing but a reserve pilot. To the point where the "Rei-type" would be in the lead early on, and perhaps going on strike when someone explains the meaning of "third child".

>>7287793

Actually... I'm looking at this PDF and I don't think you are REQUIRED to play a teenager.

It seems to leave it up to the GM about ages and whatnot allowed.

Reading and skimming through the supplement (currently on "Create an Angel"), I must say that you must have put a monumental amount of work into the document. Well done; this stuff is definitely an interesting read. Not too familiar with the core rules but I will be checking those out after the whole of the current document.
For the novice player (unfamiliar with the setting) and those that have not seen the full of Evangelion: don't read some of the later chapters (such as the one on Angels) as that may spoil the fun of certain encounters.
Also, Janitor, you have my admiration for this project.

Elegan/tg/entlement, you have made my day.

So... can we ditch the anime bits entirely and play DH as Titan Princeps?

>>7288984

I... THINK so.

I think you just need to drop AT Field powers and Ego Barrier and Berserking. Just about everything else should carry over with minimal tweaking.

A normal AT Field without bullshit like neutralizing should be an adequate representation of a Void Shield.

>>7289047
Awright! Now that's what I'm talking about!

That said, where is this 'Rip and Tear' thing listed? I've been skimming, and I don't see it.

>>7289128

In the Talents section of the new rules chapter.

It basically goes like this:

Are you a Berserker?
Are you Berserking?
Has your enemy taken at least 1 point of critical damage to an arm or leg?

If yes to all of those things...

RIP OFF HIS FUCKING ARM. NO, DON'T ROLL DAMAGE. FUCK HIS ARMOR. YOU RIP THAT SHIT OFF WITH YOUR BARE GODDAMN HANDS.

Are you a slightly higher level Berserker?

If yes, then as above BUT THEN YOU EAT THAT FUCKING ARM RIGHT THEN AND THERE. FUCK YES HEALTH REGENERATION!
