Turn Your Childhood Into A TTRPG!

[@EricfromBloatGames]

"Turn Your Childoon Into A TTRPG!" - Dude, that's what I've been trying to do my entire career :) LOVE, LOVE, LOVE, Teenage Mutant Tunnel Goons and Outbreak of the Anamoids! My favorite of your releases so far. Keep up the awesome work!

[@MemphiStig]

This is very cool. Right after I got into D&D in the 80's, I discovered the TMNT rpg, *before* it became a popular kids' property, and I got into the original b&w comic because of it. One of the features I liked was if you created a group of characters with the same origin, they got shared abilities and iirc, a bonus for the synergy. I have to correct one thing tho. You didn't just use a "regular old ink pen." You used the Pilot G2, one of the best pens ever made.

[@Shards-of-Narsil]

I love it all, esp. the character sheet with the special punch. Go crazy, you're brilliant, embrace your inner "Mad Scientist!"

[@brettsimpson1505]

Thank you, JP. I just went and ordered this from your store for my little boy. You’ve put so much effort into it, and I know we are going to love it!

[@JPCoovert]

Appreciate it! Hope you both have fun!!!

[@johnandrewbellner]

I love the OG yellow and green SuperSoaker!

[@onealflynn2414]

I love it. I wish I still had my turtle figures now.

Speaking of which there is a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles & Other Strangeness RPG Kickstarter coming on October 31st! I am really looking forward to that.

[@JPCoovert]

Yeah! I will back for sure, but that game is WAY too complicated for me :P

[@Wraithing]

​@@JPCoovert Although the mechanics might seem a bit crunchy (tho' essentially it's just a d20 [D&D style] combat system, with d100 Call of Cthulhu skill resolution), the TMNT Character Creation is well worth checking out. It's like a mini game all by itself. After some random dice rolls on some mutation background tables, you get all kinds of strangeness from man-sized, psychic elephant detectives to flying ninja squirrels, or a Canadian professional wrestler moose. As you can probably tell, I'm looking forward to the rerelease as well!! Definitely loving what you've done with this easy hack. Seems like a great idea for a one-shot in Halloween costumes!😁🎃

Yes, I do that too: running nostalgia-powered RPG settings using a favorite or genera-appropriate rule system, but with the serial numbers filed off to make things easier and freer as you are not constrain to established characters and events and you can add your own elements. For me, it is mashed-up Thundar the Barbarian/Kamandi/Masters of the Universe, etc. using Gamma World and/or Mutant Future (I go ham with those games). It is G.I.Joe/A-Team/Bronze Bombers using Dogs of W.A.R. It is early '80s anime mecha war fiction (Dougram, VOTOMS, Xabungle, etc.) with Battletech or Heavy Gear. Star Wars/Battlestar Galactica/Buck Rogers using Mini-Six or whatever pulp sci-fi/fantasy system strikes my fancy at the moment. On that note, I cannot play a cyberpunk setting without it looking Mabel Pines levels of '80s, as God intended.

Man, novo aqui no seu canal. Fiquei impressionado com sua mentalidade. Esse jeito de pensar (e de vender a idéia) com certeza atrai novas pessoas para o hobbie. Infelizmente muitos ainda não sairam da bolha do D&D, portanto não vislumbraram as possibilidades de diversão do RPG, de como é uma atividade, inclusiva, imersiva e divertida. Seu trabalho também ficou primoroso! Manteve a simplicidade de Tunnel Gonns, mas deu uma vida nova ao jogo. Um exemplo perfeito de design. Parabéns!

[@TheEmeraldMinotaur]

I do believe this is the video that convinced me to join your Patreon. Not a single... solitary... regret!

[@blotcho84]

I love this! I was working at making an rpg module, you've inspired me to get back to it!

[@okcomics1635]

Amazing! Love how deep you go, down to action figure accessory trays and the Kevin Eastman-like shading on the artwork. I know, it may not be intentional but it certainly gives it the feel. I'm tempted to do my own and go all Heavy Metal. You know, Taarna, Fakk2 and the Major Boobage episode of South Park.

[@hjorhrafn]

This is amazing! Been trying to figure out a good way to play MotU off-and-on for years. This is a good kick to get back to thinking about it.

[@penflowerink]

Wonderful concept and excellent presentation! Totally radical, JP!

[@Hellvector]

I love how hyped you are about it man! The zines are great, and they absolutely OOZE nostalgia!

[@wingusryu8289]

Next up we need JP's take on Thundercats and Silverhawks and for deepcuts Tigersharks. The holy trinity of 80s toons. I could go on and on with awesome 80s toy commercials... I mean cartoons. haha

[@lackschmarrn]

I love your energy! And you inspired me to draw my own fantasy maps as I never thought possible (with one of your other videos). But now I wanted to let you know of a pretty similar TTRPG I had the pleasure of trying out recently: Secret Science Sewer Siblings. 😄 I think you might enjoy that too. It also felt like an episode of TMNT! 🐢🥷 Thanks for your inspiring work!

[@onetruecaesar99]

This is so cool...

Piece of Art!

[@dennisbridges8971]

I’ve been working on a way to hack the Knave system to play a campaign inspired by the Wizard of Oz, Alice in Wonderland, and Over the Garden Wall.

[@JPCoovert]

You gotta check out Oz and Neverland by Adrew Kolb! They would be super easy to run in Knave!

[@PlayerRPG85]

This is amazing!!

[@gjfaux]

Always inspirational. Thank you.

[@mr7oclock346]

I have been on the fence about buying the TMNT mini set, but now I have to. I'm going to play this game with my Nephews and use those minis. It's odd that don't just have the digital file for this game available for purchase on your shop though. I realize you have it available on Petreon, but you would probably sell a little more if you had this available just to purchase as a PDF

[@RuinZ-wj1zh]

I love your vids!!!!😃

[@elvenatheart982]

Funny thing is I do want to do this, di u read my mind sir?😂😂😂

[@f.a.santiago1053]

Have you ever heard f the game Grok?! by Lester Burton?

[@JPCoovert]

Yes! The book looks insanely cool but I don’t know anything about the actual game.

[@f.a.santiago1053]

@@JPCoovert I think You'd dig it! CC-BY, $1.00 PDF from Drive Thru.

HIPPO EXPERIENCE

[@WatcherintheRye]

Did you play the original TMNT RPG back in the day (or was it before your time)? It was the first game, to my knowledge, that incorporated mental illnesses, disabilities and sexual orientations into character generation. Big shoes to fill :)
