Now, your first question should be: Why? Simple, really: I was playing through Disgaea 7 recently and a friend said something to the effect of "a TTRPG of this would be wild". I then had to immediately flex my Superhero TTRPG From 2008 powers and make a quick 1-page hack of Wild Talents.

I think it has some very good fits - extreme power levels at large dice pool size, for example. But it also has some areas that could use more changes - combat being so instantly lethal, for example. (Although you could argue late-game Disgaea always becomes a bit rocket taggy, anyways...)

Really, this system is so incredibly flexible, but at the end of the day, much like trying to bend D&D to be space operas and what have you, Wild Talents wants to be Watchmen, and making it other things (like a shonen inspired tactical JRPG, for example) has some friction. I wish good old Greg Stolze would make a generic system base out of this, keeping in the dice pool and power-making rules and so on, and license it out. I'd make a lot with it. As is, Reign is a very good medieval fantasy successor system, but it is a bit rigid compared to Wild Talents. So in WT I trust!

Anyways, as for the link you can see in there: It's a WIP. Don't worry about now. For now~
