Mar 30, 2009 23:06:13 What would an RPG set in the MGS universe be like? I just got done beating MGS4 (zomg great game), and so I was thinking about it, and I decided that having all the answers kind of cheapens the experience, in a way. The game is awesome fun, but now that the big mysteries are gone, it's a little depressing.

Anyways, discuss the hypothetical MGSRPG!

Mar 31, 2009 9:46:48 Remove the horror/morality thing from World of Darkness and you get a fairly cool modern-era-RPG that is realistic, detailed and easy in equal measure. Might want to work out the rules for stealth, though.

Mar 31, 2009 10:34:39 Man, I really like the final fight at the end of MGS4... so much fun. I beat it and was playing it on the "Big Boss Extreme" difficulty and it's a pain in the but still really fun. If someone makes it, I totaly call the "Raiden" character!

I think Cherubaddon is right, you could pretty much use the World of Darkness, I'd splice it through D20 Future myself. Make it say, Player Level 6, and just run with it. You could even say run the game at 7th, and just assume that "Les Enfants Terribles" project was picked up again by say... Hal Emmerich (Otacon) in his 70's or 80's to fight another fight, thought it'd be like Snake's Genes that have been synthesised and put into say Sunny's (The little girl on the "Nomad" who cooks bad eggs) womb. She's the daughter of Olga from MGS2. And "Stealth" could be a Cybernetic Implant, just throw it out like the "Greater Invisibility" spell from D&D 3.5, with a few tweaks of course. Hmmm.... I still totally call Raiden!!!

Mar 31, 2009 13:42:26 Only if the DM has multiple Personalities. You would only have actual story line every once in a while to furthere the mystery of the story, plus, you get to invent your own unique Bosses like "Vulcan Raven" (MSG1) and "Fat Man" MSG2. Fun times messing with the PC with weird futuristic stuff or even modern freakoziods!! hahaha!

I can't imagine trying to GM it... I think I would need to bring a water bottle to keep my throat wet.
