Ah. Right. Of course. Definitely going to be making a new system for this.

I personally aren't too interested in it, but... USEC, you know that system I thought up with Abstract and Derived stats? That was originally designed for a game wherein the PCs are mercenaries in science fantasy combat exoskeletons. So rather than using perks much, pretty much all of the Derivation scaling would have came from the armor, with Abstracts representing skills in operation certain systems. Though I guess in this case they could also represent specialization into certain roles. You could give that system a shot if you think it'll work.

While I like the idea of seeing one of these RPs that isn't one of the usual few types ("school", "literally every setting suddenly in another multiverse", "magical girls") on here, I have to concur with SB in that trying to put something together as a mishmash of a billion genres isn't a good idea.

I can SEE police in kamen style suits fighting kaiju, but it would be better to approach it in a more united and streamliend light, otherwise you're going to get something that's going to be disjointed and hard to keep track of before it even starts.

Technically, that would just be a Power Rangers season (one of the ones with a police force as the main cast, SPD or something), just better written. So it's not all that much a mishmash.

Yeah, that's basically what I mean, it's not actually that unworkable a concept, but if you construct it as "X genre in X genre suits fighting X genre monsters" it would be.

also a straight power rangers RP would be wonderful
...also, unrelatedly, a Street Fighter one, though that would be difficult to run with more than a few people

What I want to see is a police procedural that happens to have magic power suits.

Oh, well, I'm not sure how much that would result in people just deciding they dodged everything :/
