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~

I just wrapped up my D&D campaign of 3 years recently, and we're moving to the system! Pathfinder is like D&D but better in literally every way. I'm looking for players to fill out my existing party. It's okay if you're new to the system! Just let me know if you want in. Read more here:

We'll probably be closing applications in the next day or two, so comment here if you're interested!!
