| ...yes I went insane.

But hear me out! While dying in a GURPS test run over and over due to the unforgiving combat I thought of devil survivor and wishing I could just holy dance
all who stand in my way while Metatron wipes out any survivors.

Then this idea. Of course I only mention GURPS cause it's the Generic Universal RolePlaying System so it's flexible enough for this. (Never played with it's magic system before)

Tips are welcome since this is very much in the planing faze

| Don't know shit about GURP and very little about smt series but still weirdly exited
Maybe it'll be worth to enliten myself a bit with some google power...

| >>414634 OP here to admit he only watched LPs of Devil Survivor so I'm not gonna pretend I know everything. Just love this idea and any madman who wants to give tips (and praise for my ego) are welcome!

| Haha, I played an internet session for a fandom once, I still think we spent more time developing the system and characters than actually playing
Anyway, what do we have already? I suppose, since SMTs are JRPG we have basic stats already, give or take some superfitial stuff and at least interaction stats
We have a world with a lore, the plot is optional and goes second after the world- and system-building
So, how do we manage battles? Would we need dices?...
...

| ..
...How do we calculate superficial stuff like speed and elemental resistance
How does a demon negotiation works aside from comparing numbers
Do we have merits and merit points? Do we have inane disadvantages?
...
Sorry, I got carried away and it's not like it's core stuff
I think I actually have my old char list and some tips somewhere but these would require an english translation (and learning how to use imgur lol never did that)

| Shit that was long, sorry
And, as I said, don't know a thing about the universal system, just used my old one as an example, feel free to correct

| I admit I have only played some of the persona games (so not technically SMT) but I would love if there was a PnP of this. I have in the last year started playing way more PnP RPGs and this idea is right up there for me.

| OPs back
>>414795 Well yeah dice. Probs grid maps as well, the whole idea kinda stuck to me cause I wanted to summon a demon to go and run at enemies (cause in GURPS the weapons do OTT damaged compared to the average health). So D20 and grids.

>>414796 GURPS has a stat for speed but not elemental. Tho we could make elemental resistance attributes and just write in the notes (50% less damage from X)

| To explain GURPS terms a bit. Each GURPS char sheet is made out of four groupings.

Attributes: Personality and quirks that allow your character. Doesn't require a roll to be in effect.

Skills: Stuff your good at. This does require a roll.

Equipment: Stuff that you have.

Spells: What is says on the tin.

I expected to make spells to summon demons and make the classic SMT spells like agi. The rest would stay unchanged tho probably underused (would you really need cooking in SMT?)

| So don't worry about it too much >>c65260-chan. If your character sheets are in German or a south Slavic language I could actually read it.

And welcome >>11e0b7-chan. Persona was my entry to SMT as well. It's completely fine, just know other SMT games weren't so focused on S.Links and simulating the S.Links of persona in PnP would be a bit much...

Please don't mind my IP changing. Idk why that happens.

...so. Should we make a discord chatroom to talk about this more or what?

| I think the chat would be nice
Time to boot this stuff already...
And yeah, s.links are kinda conplicated to do anything with them (that's why I'm hesistant to try persona games, the amount of micromanagment scares me and I suck at it. Though I have plans to check devil survivor on an emulator)

| Well. This is a thing I guess. I mean it's not that special cause there doesn't seem to be a huge group of people commenting here on the idea (maybe because I wrote "Pen and Paper" instead of "Table top" RPG?) but either way I'm here.

Well. Here's the link. It'll expire in a day so yeah. Get it while it's hot!
