I hope the place speeds up a bit as well.

Don't worry, I do that too.

I spend a lot of time lurking. I need to read through the new mangas or at least look at them (since I can't read japanese)

Being that this community is the most likely to play the game I'd also like some opinions on some things. I'd like to know if the character sheets should include details regarding fanservice elements or if it should be left up to players to write that down in the "notes" section of the sheets?

Those old BD books are a great resource for all the stuff used in the show. I don't have them handy right now, but I'm sure you can still find them.

I'm not a big fan of the fan servicy things, but I don't know anything about making an RPG/character sheets so I can't really give an opinion about it.

Very cool! I played in two campaigns of that before, and had lots of fun.

Do you mean like statistics with mechanic significance? Or just like breast size and stuff?

A long time ago I found a witches mod on a Japanese board for HOI II, but it only added one unit and barely worked. I might have the zip buried somewhere, but it's not really worth uploading.

>>1225
That's unfortunate.

It's not that hard to mod games with the Clauswitz engine, like Victoria 2. So I think someone could manage something better than one unit. It's just a lot of time.

Jennifer DeBlanc's F4U.

Totally forgot that I could do something with Geena Preddy too.

Handy dandy witch chart if you want to be accurate with who goes on what.

/sw/ is more for discussion of the series proper, while fan creations go here in /ot/. (Especially something as polarizing as a VN.)

SWQ is short for "Strike Witches Quest", it's a choose your own adventure series of threads that originate from the 4chan board /tg/. The setting for SWQ is different from Strike Witches, it's more of a mashup of real world and Strike Witches (Witches fight for real nations, WWII continues unchanged until December 7-8, 1941, instead of Neuroi it's Martians, etc). There's also has been spin offs of it including a 1989 variant with it's own spinoffs.

Dive into the Sky.

It was basically a /tg/ challenge in which someone made a tabletop roleplaying game for what is basically Strike Witches. Being that at the time I was the only one in my group who had seen all of seasons 1 and 2 I ran the game and the group had fun with it. Being that it is a TRPG you can make it as grim, realistic, happy, lesbo, etc. as you want. You could still find DitS on 1d4chan last I checked. The first edition has original rules while the second edition has WH40K:DH rules.

I was thinking of making my own version of it by splicing Maid RPG and the original Dive into the Sky to create a more complete while still simple game more people can play. So if you're upset with SWQ you could just play DitS and forge your own path with some friends.

I was also thinking of making a GuP TRPG but that would be a bit more complex and challenging for in-tank and out-of-tank gameplay.

>>1162
Ah, I remember playing DitS online! Good times. We might have been in the same campaigns.

I was thinking of updating the system myself. I think the setting has a lot of potential for good roleplaying. It looks like you're going in the same direction I thought would work: keeping it as a "light" RPG, but adding more detailed rules for special powers, skills, etc. And making the combat more than just "roll a lot of dice and hope to roll high," but with actual tactical choices to make.

>>1165
The main bit of inspiration I had from it and WH40K was having 2 combat stats with one for close and one for distance. The two stats would allow for having a difference in characters similar to Lynette and Sakamoto.

>>1110
Don't lose hope.

I had someone who in the 9+ months they had been playing never once got brothers in arms so I made sure to help them get it. Just keep trying and stay positive, while there isn't much that can be done about bad teams you can still make quite a contribution and get paid.

>I had a match where I got 8 kills and an ally got 3, we still lost because nobody else got any and I ran out of ammo.

I would pay for the premium membership on WoT to have access to that.

My friend and fellow SW fan recently entered the US Navy, currently training for nuclear subs. His favorite witch is Erica.

This probably doesn't count because there's enlistment in my country, but still. Ex-pioneer here

>he stuck Orussian flag on his flight helmet
That would be the most amazing picture ever. It would make my day.

I'm stationed in Japan right now, but I only do administrative stuff. Unfortunately, my life isn't as interesting or colorful as any of that.

My fav witch is Heidimarie.
