L. Marcus Posted August 31, 2003 Report Share Posted August 31, 2003 Has anyone done or seen an adaptation of Ogami Itto of Lone Wolf and Cub? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Man Posted September 1, 2003 Report Share Posted September 1, 2003 You mean in RPG or Hero form? No. Seems like a fairly straightforward heroic Ninja Hero campaign with a gadget pool thrown in, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
L. Marcus Posted September 1, 2003 Author Report Share Posted September 1, 2003 A Hero version of Itto would be nice... Byt, hey, any Hero treatment on medieval Japan would be welcome. Has there ever been an official book on the subject? Are there any good websites? I'm a complete newbie at the Hero system, I got FREd just a few weeks ago, but I really like what I've seen so far, and I really, really like LW&C...

Old Man Posted September 2, 2003 Report Share Posted September 2, 2003 I can recommend the Sengoku RPG, which was done in Champions Lite and is therefore relatively easy to convert. Lots of good source material. Make sure to check out the Shinobi (ninja) supplement too. Of course, you're still going to have to write up the Suio style on your own.

L. Marcus Posted September 2, 2003 Author Report Share Posted September 2, 2003 I've been thinking about it, and all I've come up with is Environmental Movement: Standing in Water, worth 3 points... Oh, and WF: Thrown Sword, but I don't think that would be part of Suio Ryu... How would you do the barehanded-sword-capturing, throwing-it-back-at-the-fella-you-took-it-from technique?

Markdoc Posted September 2, 2003 Report Share Posted September 2, 2003 You can also try: http://www.geocities.com/markdoc.geo/Gaming_stuff/Sengoku/sengoku_front_page.html For feudal japanese goodness. cheers, Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Markdoc Posted September 2, 2003 Report Share Posted September 2, 2003 With regard to Suio style, it is supposed to be a soft, fluid style. So environmental movement is good, as would be attacks combined with movement. I'd suggest: Block Passing strike Martial strike Defensive strike Disarm Block Running Dodge as the basic elements, and for the dirty tricks department: Flash (flick water in their faces) Images (feint: only to appear to be doing a different maneuver) This simulates the "holding the sword underwater" trick. Itto clearly has thrown sword as a WF and the grabbing the sword trick is either disarm or takeaway, depending on how you see it. cheers, Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
L. Marcus Posted September 2, 2003 Author Report Share Posted September 2, 2003 Thanks, Markdoc, that seems to be what I need...! Though I'm thinking of picking up Sengoku, but before or after Fantasy and Star Hero...? Hmmm, conundrum... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Space Cadet Posted September 3, 2003 Report Share Posted September 3, 2003 Lone Wolf and Cub HERO, eh? I can just see the chaos now, when the Baby Carriage From Hell takes out the first NPC victims of the campaign... Space Cadet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old Man Posted September 3, 2003 Report Share Posted September 3, 2003 Images hell, crank up the bleeding rules for that campaign. Of course the extreme bleeding is more a feature of the movies than of the manga... but still. And hit locations! Definitely hit locations.

L. Marcus Posted September 3, 2003 Author Report Share Posted September 3, 2003 Considering how deadly combat is in the LW&C universe, I think all optional damage effect rules should be used. Well, maybe not knockback... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Markdoc Posted September 5, 2003 Report Share Posted September 5, 2003 Considering that almost everyone is running around in DEF 0 kimonos, and almost all the significant players have martial arts, I think the spray-of-blood issues would be well taken care of. You're looking at average damage of 7-11 bod off an average hit . Ugh! cheers, Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Man Posted September 5, 2003 Report Share Posted September 5, 2003 The bad guys wear mail under their shirts in issue #1. But, yeah, practically no one in LW+C wears armor of any kind. They're just too good to need armor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
