System for Power Rangers campaign

Hey so I need some advice,

It's been awhile since I've done Gming and I did GM Avatar themed d&d campaign AND I HAVE ALWAYS WANTED TO BE A GAME MASTER FOR A POWER RANGERS INSPIRED TTRPG CAMPAIGN. The problem is I don't really know what system to use for it.

I don't think d&d would work and I know that there is a whole system for a power rangers role-playing game, but I've played that game before and honestly I wasn't a huge fan of the combat system and how zords worked. I didn't like how little health we had and the zords seemed like a disadvantage. I could use it if I have no other option, but I hope that there is something better.

I am basically looking for a format that has my players start as normal college students ( with attitude), and eventually they get the ability to morph into power rangers. Resulting in some campaigns where they go to different realms. Fight a good variety of monsters, have the ability to work together and coordinate as a team,( maybe with some team attacks?) and have almost all major boss fights include some kind of puzzle mechanic, with an end megazord fight.

Do you have any ideas for systems that I could possibly use for a campaign like that?

Tldr; looking for a system to make a power ranger campaign, d&d doesn't fit and had bad experiences with the power rangers role-playing game, looking for something else.

I'm working in parallel to create my TTRPG and write short stories set in the same world!

Ever since the first time trying kickstarter didn't work out, I have been trying to find new ways to expand and create within the world of Brass & Embers, and came to me right away was this idea for several short stories--including the letters describing the adventures of one unnamed traveler through the exciting places in the continent of Calderwick.

I've always thought it is so cool to experience the same universe through different media and different eyes, and I think being able to experience the struggles, hopes and insecurities of someone living through the tech revolution would be very immersive and give a very different experience than just reading about those people living though those experiences ( as in a traditional TTRPG book would).

The art above is human-made done by Altergate Studio. The City is Kellenfort, and the building sculpt in stone is one of the towers where one of the fully conscious automaton considered sacred and created by the Machinist (aka "god") live.

I'm using this stories to try and slowly build up my community on patreon, so I can continue getting support to commission more art, get collabs with others creators, and keep working on my game!

So anyway, I wanted so share a excerpt, and if you're interested to see more, please, follow us! I'm keeping the stories free until we can get a good community up :)

" I took a small merchant boat on River Edris who was willing to drop me off in the middle of nowhere, which meant a place I could see the first signs of desertification on my spyglass. The merchant, and a few other strays like myself she was carrying, gave me an odd look as I hopped off the boat marching toward the unknown. This has never stopped me once, and I can't imagine stopping me anytime in the future.

I still walked for about 5 hours until I reached the Desert proper with each step the air becoming hotter, the plants transforming into short and compact bushes or grasses. When I was surrounded by the desert itself, I inhaled deeply through my protective face covering, taking a moment to observe the sand dunes and taking in the vast extension of nothingness surrounding me on all sides.

You have never been to the sea have you, R? I know the two of them are polar opposites, but they are similar in that way. When you are in the middle of it and it extends on all sides, it feels endless. I just forgot the word, but I know you know it because you always know these things, but there's a word for people afraid of this openness, of this vastness. And I know there's people who feel small and useless and miserable and they compare their size and importance to something immense and vast but I could never really understand that. I feel great. I feel great because at this moment I am here and while I'm here I feel just like the desert: vast, endless, unstoppable, impossible to be contained or described. Every possibility in front of me extends infinitely in all directions. I just need to find them."

Part 2 of our traveler's exploration in the desert is when trouble finds him.

Here's the link to our patreon if you want to support us and help me make Brass & Embers a reality!

What system would work best in a resident evil style campaign?

After playing the games a ton lately (and watching the new movie) ive had a desire to run a survival horror resident evil style campaign but i feel as if my usual systems (dnd, Call of Cthulu, Cyberpunk red) just wouldn't work well with my idea. Are there any systems that would better fit my idea? Any help is appreciated

Alright, this one might get me into trouble. When I started OSR Rocks!, I explicitly wrote that I didn’t want to get into definition disputes, and still don’t. But over the past months, I’ve read and played quite a few games outside what I would usually consider my OSR bubble.

 And that made me think about what I actually love about games, what I want to take from other styles of play, and what all of that means for future Golem Productions designs.

So, hear me ramble of where I think we might go and tell me what you like about our niche.

TTRPG style improv comedy show seeks players.

Hello all!
I'm not sure this post is allowed, since this is technically a search for perminent co-hosts.
Seeking Podcasters with a semi-professional setup and a love for nerdy gaming!
I've conceptualized a minimalistic TTRPG game that can be utilized to drive the narrative for episodes.
Most of which would be around 45-60 minutes long. Please reach out if interested.

I want to build a small Discord community of all things TTRPGs!

First of all mods, if this isn’t allowed let me know and I’ll happily remove it. I just didn’t see anything in the rules against it and I’d rather be warned because I just found this sub and would hate to be banned.

Hey y’all! I spent some time yesterday putting together a discord server for all things TTRPGs. It’s a little more broad in category than any rpg related subreddits I’ve found, which is why I made it. I want it to be a small community of all things related to TTRPGs - big games, indie games, finding tables to play one shots with in new systems, 3D printing, miniature painting, terrain building, art commissions, etc.

Obviously the server is small right now (just me), but I’m hoping if it’s given enough time, a strong community can be built! If anyone is interested in pioneering this with me, the invite link is below.
