bubba smith Posted January 3, 2015 Report Share Posted January 3, 2015 would a campaign based on the tv show GRIMM be champions, DC, fantasy HERO or MHI ?/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sinanju Posted January 3, 2015 Report Share Posted January 3, 2015 I guess it would depend on what system you chose to use. I mean, you could play it in any of them. Also in GURPS, for that matter. Personally, I'd probably go with Monster of the Week (an Apocalypse World hack for playing games like Buffy/Supernatural/Dresden Files and so forth).

Lord Liaden Posted January 3, 2015 Report Share Posted January 3, 2015 I think I'd go with high-level Pulp Hero. The Grimms and Vessen often seem to have exceptional-human physical stats, and a variety of unusual abilities, but they're not beyond the capacity of normal humans to hurt. Combat is generally more melee- and less gun-oriented than in most DC and MHI. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nolgroth Posted January 3, 2015 Report Share Posted January 3, 2015 I'd go with Dark Champions with a large dollop of Fantasy Hero. Pulp is good too, but I personally don't get the Pulp vibe from it. Other systems? Shadowrun. Grimms just fall right into the Adept category very comfortably. You just have to rip out the cyberware and stuff like that.

zslane Posted January 4, 2015 Report Share Posted January 4, 2015 I'd use the Hero System, stealing whichever elements fit best from all the other books on my shelf. What is the value/point of pinning it down to one particular, ill-fitting generic genre book? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bubba smith Posted January 4, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 4, 2015 I wrote my original question with the thought of apprporiate genres in mind Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IndianaJoe3 Posted January 4, 2015 Report Share Posted January 4, 2015 Why does it have to fit into a neat little genre box? Part of Hero's appeal to me is that I don't have to worry about that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zslane Posted January 4, 2015 Report Share Posted January 4, 2015 Genre-wise Grimm fits into the Modern Fantasy category, which has been hot lately (Lost Girl, Witches of East End, Vampire Diaries, Supernatural, Constantine, Bitten, etc.). It is basically the same territory covered by MHI, and so I suppose MHI might be a good source of advice for adapting Grimm into RPG form. And Fantasy Hero, along with its bestiary, could potentially help a GM who isn't comfortable translating the magic and monsters of Grimm into Hero System form on his own. But I don't think you can take anything as-is from any Hero genre/setting book, except maybe modern weapons and vehicles, since Grimm has its own unique mythology.

Ninja-Bear Posted January 7, 2015 Report Share Posted January 7, 2015 Wouldn't Horror Hero fit also? And considering how powerful I.e. pointd you csn get I think the Heroic level would suit. However since I jsvent seen the show, I wouldn't take my words to heart. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
