"BESM-1 war die erste Rechenanlage aus der Serie und hatte 5000 Vakuumröhren. Nur eine BESM-1 wurde gebaut. Als sie 1952 fertig war, war sie zunächst der schnellste Rechner in Europa." https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/BESM_(Computer) #cccp #besm

#OSE #BESM #DND optional rule: Survivability

Characters whose hit points go below 0 die in d6 rounds, but can be healed with magic before then. Characters on 0 hit points are unconscious until they heal.

Only non-Japanese, in particular Westerners, who insists that #anime means very specifically and exclusively "Japanese animé" or "Japanese French animation" (since they pronounce it as /an·ih·mey/). The so-called "Japanese style" is known more accurately as #BESM or big-eyes-small-mouth.

Im Rahmen des #Spielewochenendes im La Vie in #Münster (13./14.04.2024) werden auch einige P&P-Runden angeboten werden. Kommt und spielt mir uns: #CatsOfCatthulhu , #Cthulhu, #BESM , #SOL, #DnD #5e, #MörkBorg und #Daggerheart. Außerdem gibt es noch eine Runde System- und Abenteuervorstellungen um mal ein bisschen Werbung für #Indie-Spiele zu machen. Die Anmeldung für die Runden erfolgt vor Ort. #pnpde

@nlinggod Then what you want is something point-buy, because that allows players to have enough shared context in order to create their own powers, generally generic, or in some other way allows a focused construction of a character which can then go forward.

So we are basically looking at superhero games that aren't incredibly crunch.

Well, #BESM still stands on that one – but only first edition. That can be a little harder to get your hands on but totally worth it. (https://preview.drivethrurpg.com/en/product/625/Big-Eyes-Small-Mouth-First-Edition-BESM--GOO02001)

Capes has an entirely different structure, but it's absolutely capable of doing exactly what you want. It's just a very unusual architecture – but I would absolutely use it for what you describe. Unfortunately it's a little bit hard to get your hands on these days – and by that I mean there's absolutely no place selling it. But if you would like to see it after looking at commentary on the net, I can probably slide you a copy. Yes, the cover looks silly.

I think someone else mentioned FATE, but I would also put on the table Fudge, it's originator. More of an RPG toolkit, you you can build something lightweight and focused exactly on what you want to do and it'll work just fine. Totally worth it.

Given the list, I'd probably go with Wushu followed by Fudge as good starting places.

@Tim_Eagon I don’t have a great answer for this but I still think occasionally about picking up a secondhand #BESM 3e just to satisfy young bss’s curiosity and love of the first two editions.
