Dose anyone have experience with the new Transformers RPG ( or one of Renegades other games using the same system, like GI Joe).
I kind of had a campaign concept pop into my head and I want to know if the system is fun or if I should try to do it in something else like Cypher or Genesys instead.
I'm hoping the GI Joe book is currently under the Christmas tree in my house. If not then I will buy it myself and can let you know what I think of it after reading it.
System seems interesting. Similar to D20 like Pathfinder and D&D only instead of static bonus the Skills give you extra Dice to add to the roll. So if you have a Rank 3 in shooting you would roll 1d20+1d6 when you shoot.
There seems to be a rule that moves that extra dice up or down as a modifier
In fact the system seems very against Static modifiers in general.
As I suspected I now have the Transformers RPG as a fresh from under the tree Christmas gift.
Book is nice, system seems fairly solid, some familiarity and some new ideas. Skill system is interesting.
In Pathfinder terms; Imagine if instead of Skill Points per level for your class, you got Your attribute Bonus as Skill Points for the Skill tied to that Attribute
EX: you have a STR of 16, that gives you 3 skill points to spend on Climb and Swim, while your 14 Wisdom gives you 2 Skill Points to spend on Heal, Perception, Sense Motive and Survival. and so on with each Attribute
Transformers kind of dose it like that only there is only 4 Attributes and each one has around 5 skills. (and a Rank in a skill is a whole extra dice to roll instead of just +1)
