You are playing the wrong RPG if you want fluff that is actually supported by the rules...

I'm still not sure what RPG that would be.

Feng Shui, Of Course...

Oh my. I didn't realize there was such a...


thing...

Indeed... One of the most over the top action games in existence. I have mods for Star Wars, Shadowrun, and Battletech. Simply Awesome.

wait what?! for a bad tabletop rpg there are mods to make it like another bad (far less bad though) rpg? And shadwrun is not over the top enough as it is?! I need a whiskey.

For "Over The Top", Shadowrun isn't even close, no matter how pink your 'hawk is.

Indeed... And Feng Shui is not a Bad RPG Daylen, it is awesome taken to the next level...

I have found, however, that Feng Shui is Perfect for Star Wars.
Shadowrun and Battletech, it works well for, but the flavor changes a bit. Not bad if you have a Rainbow Mohawk, but they are not for everyone.
I still prefer SR4A and Mechwarrior 3rd Ed (IIRC).

For the stunt of roller skating down a staircase Bannister firing at two separate targets with Machine Pistols, Shadowrun penalizes the heck out of you, depending on how many times you'd previously used the stunt it would be worth a +1 to +3 bonus in Feng Shui. Totally different goals, Shadowrun makes a vague attempt a realism Feng Shui just goes for full bore awesome with just a touch of ridiculous.

How very true...

However, Combat Stunts are rated from -2 and increase the difficulty from there (Standard Stunt in Combat is to shoot 2 Mooks simultaneously, at -2).
Non-Combat Stunts are rated from Difficulty 5 and up.

The better you roll, the better the stun effect.

And Feng Shui succeeds at making rules that back up what it is trying to tell you to do in the fluff. 7th Sea would be another example.

Indeed... For both of them.
I would also include L5R (At least through 3rd Edition). Have not seen the new edition.

7th sea tries to be like that, but is only like that at moments when a player has drama dice and guesses correctly. The rest of the time it's fairly mundane and predictable.

Airship Pirates has an "THAT'S AWESOME!" rule where, if you can make the group or GM go, "THAT'S AWESOME!" there's no penalties. (If I remember the rule right.).

Do you mean that 7th Sea only has moments where it is like Feng Shui? I agree with that statement. I was referring to 7th Sea as being a system that supports the fluff and the intended setting -- not that it is like Feng Shui.

Really I meant supporting fluff, but I guess the former would be appropriate as well. I was criticizing the place a bet nature of the dice system.
