DBZ RPGs

[Mad Hellian]

Many RPGs have come and gone im trying to change the face of RPGs by creating one that is created by the people for the people I just wanna know your thoughts about what we should have in it as far as Abilities and things of that sort go.

Well visually and sound wise it should be decent quality snes style is enough for me with a little animation.
you could also make it like the second gameboy game wich is the one of the best dbz games around. dbgt should not be inclueded but the 4th transformation would be nice.
I'm against fusions tho.

Uh Petezilla i think Mad Hellian is taking about starting a messageboard RPG not make an actual game but I could be wrong.

If you want to do a messageboard RPG let it be freeform but with certain finite rules, from what I have observed (and experienced) is that genuine role-playing in a DBZ rpg is usually crushed by mindless godmoding. Without rules you will find that the roleplayers' characters will be continually smacked around by godmoders until they get tired and start godmoding back. So while characters should be able to do all the DBZ stuff (transformations, fusions, training, tournaments, saving the planet, hunting for dragonballs, comdeic interludes, etc.) you should avoid this sort of thing:

Player (Playing Goku): Vegeta and I transform into Mystic SSJ4 with kaiyoken x100 and fusion, then we find all the dragonballs and wish for immortality and then invincibility. We blow up the planet cuz we r L33+, lol! lol! lol!

Ive seen that happen many times in those IRC DBZ "RPGS", everyone is dodging everything that is thrown to them.

X: Fires energy bean
Y: Dodges energy beam and shoots one at X

And etc, those are just lame
