UCMEUMM 2.0

 

Pues sí, habemus nueva versión de Una ciudad moderna en un mundo mágico...que en buena parte no ha hecho sino aprovechar cambios que había realizado en el sistema para el juego Moon Raid. Hubiera resultado algo extraño, haber dejado al juego original colgando de la brocha, cuando había tantas cosas que se podían actualizar...

Por aquello de centralizar contenidos, todo lo relacionado con esta segunda versión tendrá su propia página dentro del blog, en donde se podrán encontrar los enlaces de descarga a las versiones más reciente de cada archivo. Para ello, no tienes más que pinchar en la imagen superior, o el enlace que se indica a continuación:

Una ciudad moderna en un mundo mágico - Versión 2

[MOON RAID] [ENG] Companion II finished!

 

 

The second Companion for Moon Raid RPG is finished and available for download! In it, you'll find even more Paths, even weirder than before:

 Alchemist: Master in the transformation of the matter!

Anathema: Haunted keeping their monstrous nature at bay…barely!

Dragon Soul: Bearer of the soul fragment of a dragon!

Druid: Master of the nature magic!

Enchanter: Sly magical manipulator and trickster!

Exorcist: Relentless fighter against the forces of evil!

Homunculus: Ageless artificial, but so human like, creation!

Onmyōji:  Mystical master of the Yin and Yang!

Seer: Enigmatic mystical soothsayer!

Summoner: Invoker of supernatural allies!

This Companion also includes a description of some new aspects of the Moon Raid RPG setting. Because, even if Watchers and Moon Haunted are used to deal with strange things under the Moon, sometimes those things may be even…stranger

[Moon Raid RPG] [ENG] Companion I finished!

 

The first Companion for Moon Raid RPG is finished and ready to download. Or, at least, its first version...which is fully complete, nevertheless. As its names suggest, this Companion features a series of new Watcher Paths, namely...

Criomancer: Ice and cold controllers!

 

Electrokinetic: Electric energy masters!

 

God Breaker: Supernatural powers suppressors!

 

Heavy Metal: Powered-armor pilots!

 

Magnetokinetic: Magnetic fields controllers!

 

Sonokinetc: Sound energy manipulators!

 

Spectrokinetic: Light energy controllers!

 

Technomancer: Mental manipulators of electronic devices!

 

Teleporter: Instant-travellers!

 

Void Caller: Gravity masters!

 (Yeah, that was copy&pasted from the information in the homepage; no reasons to reinvent the wheel, doesn't it?).

Also, the numeration of this Companion suggests that it could be expected at least one more Companion...and, of course, this is my desire (and the next step in this project).

[Moon Raid] [ENG] Core book finished!

 

Well, the title of this entry says it all! The Moon Raid RPG (a.k.a. 'The game that started as a passing comment in a RPG forum') is finished. Well...it's uploaded, at least, in the first complete version of the text: after seeing the kind of mistakes there were in the previous partial version, I expect having to correct more things in the future.

So I have created a page for the game in this blog, where I would update the links if (when?) there are more updates. I have also included there a short description of the different books that make the core game.

And now, what? Well, as the rules part has been a translation (with some reskinning) of material I have already written for another RPG (this one in Spanish), and there is quite an ammount of material left...there is room for expansion here. Or for expansions, to be precise. Time will tell!

[Moon Raid] [ENG] Book II - Characters

 

So yes, things have moved faster than I expected, to the point that I can even show some of the results! Here it is the first half of Book II - Characters, which describes the character creation rules of the game and also includes a description of the general feats (i.e., those 'special thingies' which can be acquired by any character...within some reasonable limits, of course!).

UPDATE (2021/06/21): Version 0.02 has been released, and the links have been properly updated. So Book II is completed.

UPDATE (2021/06/24): Full game released, now with its own page!

[Moon Raid] [ENG] Moon Raid, a systemless (for now) RPG setting with a heroic modern horror-fantasy shōnen tone

 

TLDR: MoonRaid, an RPG system with a heroic modern horror-fantasy shōnen tone (link to the updated page)

  

Recently, in these thread in the rpg.net forum, I posted a random of the cuff setting idea that I came up with (well..that’s the thread title, after all!). But, once I hit the ‘Post reply’ button, I thought ‘you know, maybe I could expand it a little’…and sure I did it! In an act of recklessness, I decided to write it in English. Not ‘writing it Spanish and then translating it to English’, but in English from the very beginning. And…well, here is the result. For now, this is a systemless setting, that could be used with RPGs with heroic characters of the ‘cool powers’ variety…but, maybe (and that’s a big maybe) it won’t be systemless forever: in another act of recklessness, I’ve begun writing a system for it…or, to be precise, translating the parts of one of my homebrewed games to this setting. Truth be told, when I wrote the setting, I already have that plan in mind, so I could reuse plenty of the material (sometimes with a little reskinning, some times without needing even that!). But this is going to take quite a while, I'm afraid.

So there it is. I would probably revise it every now and then, because sure there are typos here and there…and let’s not talk about the grammar (oh, gosh, the prepositions, phrasal verbs and verb combinations are really killing me!). Hope you enjoy it!

UPDATE (2021/06/24): In fact, I'm still hoping that you enjoy  the setting, but the provious paragraph was oh-so-outdated now. And that's because the setting is no system-less anymore! Here, you'll find the recent version all documents related to Moon Raid.

 

 

 

Y ahora, la versión (resumida) en español: esta es una ambientación que, por ahora, carece de sistema…aunque estoy adaptando el sistema de ‘Una ciudad moderna en un mundo mágico’ para incorporárselo a continuación. Comencé a escribir el documento en inglés, pensado ‘traducirlo al español después va a ser fácil, caramba’…pero me parece a mí que no me va a resultar tan fácil como esperaba. ¡Creo que me he pasado un poco con las frases hechas y memes en inglés!

ENLACE DE DESCARGA

Con respecto a la entrada anterior, simplemente voy a señalar que durante el repaso del texto original he terminado introduciendo algunos cambios. Salta a la vista que la versión del sistema FATE en la cual está basado originalmente era bastante antigua: desde hace unos cuantos años, ¡eso de tener que crear personajes con 10 aspectos ha quedado un poco obsoleto! Así que he reducido la cantidad a 5, algo que parece más acorde con los nuevos tiempos. Aparte de eso...sólo unos cuantos retoques por aquí y por allí: por lo que parece, hace un tiempo ya le pegué un repaso, y ni siquiere recordaba haberlo hecho, porque he encontrado cosas que tenía en mente cambiar...¡y ya estaban cambiadas!

La versión final del manual incluye reglas de combates individuales, combate de masas, intrigas palaciegas, debates encendidos, 15 personajes pregenerados y algo más de una treintena de ejemplos de Estilos. No esperes encontrar "estilos de Artes Marciales" típicos en este último caso, de cualquier modo: en este juego, conocerse al dedillo el Arte de la Guerra de Sun Tzu, respetar las Cinco Relaciones Sagradas del Confucionismo o practicar una Caligrafía Perfecta son todos ejemplos de Estilos. Y todos ellos tienen aplicación al combate, no te vayas tú a creer (sí, incluso el de la Caligrafía, aunque tendrás que ejercitar un poco tu imaginación para ello). También hay un capítulo que describe la historia de la ambientación desde el (uno de los) mito de la Creación hasta el final de la Dinastía Han, y otro capítulo que describe la ambientación con algo más de detalle en la época correspondiente a dicha Dinastía. Y, para terminar, ¡hay incluso ilustraciones! Ya lo comenté, pero desde luego es más fácil encontrar imágenes del Dominio Público sobre ciertos temas que sobre otros...
