Hi all! The case is quite simple: I started to play improvisational game of Genesys RPG with my two sons, where they play as pokemons (for now first evolutions of Lucario and Greninja - I forgot how they are called... lol...). And they seem to have a lot of fun. We managed to make PC for them using a mix of Genesys and Terrinoth rules/careers. For now they are in "different dimension" that is basically a fantasy world - because I have some ideas about that:)
You see the problem is I have very little knowledge about pokemon's world and lore, even though I have watched some episodes of cartoons as a child(long time ago) AND I would like to introduce some pokemons species into our game. But I don't have time to study all of 1000+ pokemons to make their appearance "thematic" in our game, for my sons. Also I want to introduce some structure into our play, and convert or work on some classic DnD modules to our game. Mainly I was thinking about Black Wyrm of Brandonsford or Winter's Daughter.
So the question is: is anyone wishing to play a little game with me? The rules are simple:
- I provide you a classic mob/monster description/name and it purpose in my adventure from fantasy modules/tropes, and you tell me what kind of pokemon will be the best fit for the role. What I expect is just the name of the species and one sentence(can be more) of reasoning for choosing this one.
The game is intended to those that think it will be fun to them, as my very limited time schedule will not allow me to return the favor in the near future... :( But maybe... if there will be interest for that and I will have some time(read: my other games here will end for some reason), I will do a short one-shot adventure using my ideas for the most active participants.
PS. Have you ever played a ttRPG pokemon game? What rules system have you used in it? I found 2 quite interesting, but will stick to Genesys, as it is one of the systems I chose for my "focus" for the near future.
PS2. Do you know any good, ready pokemon adventure modules I could use? Can be paid. System is irrelevant, but the module has to use official pokemon names/spicies (as I don't want to spend time on trying to guess what is this "pocket monster" equivelant in official pokemon lore/word.
