(Another) Sonic the Hedgehog Tabletop RPG!
Hi all!
I'm a big TTRPG fan who loves game design, and I recently rewatched the Sonic movies with my partner (in between playing the Marvel Multiverse RPG), and it made me think... why isn't there a Sonic Tabletop RPG? After looking online, I found that there are actually several fanmade versions - Rings & Running Shoes, Sonic Tag-Team Heroes, and this game from 2019 that uses the same system as Sega's own 'Choose Your Own Adventure' books (that I had actually played as a kid!)
As I combed through each one, they either felt too complex or too simple, either too detailed, or not detailed enough... So, I took upon myself, to create rules for my own Sonic the Hedgehog TTRPG!
I've created a general overview of how the game works (a Core Rulebook, if you will) that I'd love to get some feedback on. I feel like it keeps things simple for younger players, while still having a lot of variability for more experienced TTRPG players, and even leaves room to make some interesting OCs! (Plus, I included some character sheets in there already, that I will add to as I keep working on the system.)
You can find the ruleset here
I've made the Google Doc open for comments, and any comments here would be appreciated too. If anyone would be interested in playtesting it too, do let me know, as I'd love a chance to see it in action!
