Honestly? I thought that the Exhaustion mechanic was going to be this system's Fate Point equivalent. Because it seems to me like they accomplish the exact same thing. Namely doing stuff that normally you wouldn't be able to do and succeeding where you would have failed.

yeah, but I dont mean so much "try very hard for a small boost", but rather "put on your soundtrack and for a while, make the stage yours"

I dunno. It's up to you how to do things. I don't mind too much either way.

well, I will leave that part up for discussion. It may just be a bit disruptive in very important moments of the game

Question: by what method do standard magical girls obtain their powers?

Honestly? It's up to the player to decide. There's no set way to go about things.

Spoiler: Character sheet (click to show/hide)


also, I may or may not have splurged on 60s-style spy movies, buuut, who is fine with setting the new rotmg in the 60s?

I mean the cold-war era, political unrest about equality, spiced up with magic and the supernatural? Facing magical supervillainy, all in the threat of nuclear armageddon, rampant non-humans, and rampant lesbianism in a time where either was a huge taboo, peaceful protests escalating horribly, secret agencies, and the usual rotmg-style super high-tech now with the charm of them looking like secret super spy gadgets?

well, I will leave it optional, but I think it might be fun. Then again, my basic plot can probably work in any time period, so oh well, whatever
100% 'stanza approved. Aw yes.

there is so many ways to obtain magical abilities. From being born with them, to being the chosen one of who knows how many legends are out there, to pacts with devils and gods, to science experiments gone wrong, to cults, to magical places, to coincidence.

That implies we couldn't name her otherwise. All you need for giving people names is a snarky nicknamer.
