When you shitpost yourself into making a TTRPG system #CatgirlsInPowerArmor
rine.bsky.social Rine @rine.bsky.social · Nov 15
*taps the chart* So you see, all characters would exist somewhere on the grid, the the axis being smash (Aisha) vs shoot (Rally) and Power Armor (Bubblegum) vs Android (Puma sisters). You can pick traits from any of the axis, but not have a character with traits from opposing axis.

At the point where I'm considering finding an artist to work with on #CatgirlsInPowerArmor, cuz its....feeling more and more finished. Just a lot of fleshing out, not a lot of deep work other than playtesting.

A thread in which I go on about my general design ideas for #CatgirlsInPowerArmor
rine.bsky.social Rine @rine.bsky.social · Aug 21
Alright, class lists done, so I wanna yammer a bit about #CatgirlsInPowerArmor, specifically that its the first time I've tried to make a #TTRPG system that is wholly of my own make. No cribbing from other systems or games. (Deckbuilder cribs from Sentinels of the Multiverse, Nasu cribbed Shadowrun)

Getting cancelled for writing a #TTRPG citing three anime as inspiration (Bubblegum Crisis, Gunsmith Cats, and Dominion Tank Police), and only having watched one of them.

While the primary goal should be 'playtest this with some people' I'm tempted to jump right to the most important part of developing #CatgirlsInPowerArmor: commissioning someone to draw these characters in the 80/90s anime style.

Well, while I'm at it, two more samples with the other two axis I hadn't used as Primary yet. #CatgirlsInPowerArmor

Also wife made me promise to finish one of my TTRPGs this upcoming year, and it'll either be #deckbuilderTTRPG or #CatgirlsInPowerArmor, and might be both if I get a headwind going.

"AI will help creators create more!" Fuck you, I had a walk in the cold and thought up a six card class, and typed it out in 30 minutes. I can't imagine what sort of mashed up mess of a game an LLM would make if I put in 'deckbuilder ttrpg please'

Which speaking of, #CatgirlsInPowerArmor has all my posts in/re that game, which is in a playtestable state at this point. Might do some more real soon to get more samples of how the combat plays out.

#TTRPG wrapped:

I tried running Daisy Chainsaw and ICON 1.5

I finished up my Lancer campaign at the beginning of the year.

I started and finished a CAIN campaign and it became my favorite TTRPG instantly.

Tons of dev work on #CatgirlsInPowerArmor and #deckbuilderTTRPG

Hashtags are great because you can use general ones (IE, #TTRPG) or specific ones for a project you have (my #CatgirlsInPowerArmor one), and either way they can click/press to see only your posts, or everyone's posts using that tag. Also great for getting on specific feeds that look for them.

Now if we can just de-train twitter people from the aversion to hashtags

I know twitter punishes you so badly for using any that aren't trending at that current moment, but they're very useful here on bsky, you can search by user, so tagging your art is encouraged

Fuckit, #SelfPromoSaturday have the current playtest rules for #CatgirlsInPowerArmor, have a read and lemme know what you think, or feel free to use it for a playtest oneshot. More rules coming for advancement and fleshing out stuff (not to mention making it actually look nice)
rine.bsky.social Rine @rine.bsky.social · Oct 4
Thanks for the space! I recently ran a playtest for one of my projects, #CatgirlsInPowerArmor, so I may as well make the current version of the rules public for anyone who wants to playtest it. Very much a work in progress, but the combat seemed to roll well enough!

If I may double promote: Currently working on getting #CatgirlsInPowerArmor up for its alpha test readiness, mostly just need more character options. Right now you can make pretty cool sounding characters, but more options are always great.
rine.bsky.social Rine @rine.bsky.social · Aug 21
This does mean your character sheet is mostly text with very few hard stats. Here are a few example characters I worked up with the initial set of traits from each of the four axis.
Character Name: Purrfect Smash Primary: Smash Secondary: Android Signature: Fuck-Off (Giant Hammer), Damage: 1d8 AP(1): Your weapon ignores 1 armor when dealing damage. Heavy: Increase your weapon’s damage dice by one category. Distinguishing Feature Primordial Rage: You are definitely no housecat, and your Fury knows no bounds. When you are reduced to less than half your wound count, once per combat you may enter a rage state at no action cost. Roll 1d4, this is how many turns it will last after the turn it started on. While you are raging, you gain 1 Fury at the start of every turn, and you can spend 2 Fury per turn instead of 1. Wound Track: 5 Fury Track: 5 Speed: 1 Combat Traits: Not So Fast: When an enemy tries to Close the Distance with an ally of yours, you can choose to spend 1 Fury. You immediately Engage the enemy, regardless of its Speed, making the combat roll as normal. Whether or not it succeeds, the enemy can not Close the Distance again until its next turn. Rip Apart: When an attack from this character would do more damage than needed to tick a wound box, the extra damage rolls over into the next wound track. Lynx Paws: The modifications to your legs make them that much stronger and able to leap further. When you Lunge, instead of doubling your Speed, your Speed is tripled. Non-combat Traits: Break Shit: While the subtle approach is needed, your character can choose to ignore the circumstances. During an extended check that is not primarily Smash, your character can instead choose to roll Smash and get +2 to that roll. If it is successful, you have managed to smash things in an overall helpful way. If you fail the roll, you have made things noticeably worse, at minimum removing successes from the extended check, or other side effects at GM’s discretion. Perfect Implant: You somehow have an implant that is absolutely perfect for this situation. Once per mission, you can choose to describe how an implant you have is perfect for this situation. You ge… Character Name: Yenny Primary: Power Armor Secondary: Shoot Signature: En Suit Firepower: Your armor has a built in ranged weapon system (1d6 damage) and can choose to spend an action to ‘Brace’. While braced, your character gains +2 to hit and AP(1) on all Shoot actions for the rest of the turn. Distinguishing Feature: Techhead: You likely made the suit yourself, and you are always looking to customize it further, though your constant tinkering usually doesn’t cause any long lasting benefit as you are quick to fiddle with it again. At the beginning of a mission, roll 1d6 to decide which trait from the following table your tinkering adds to your armor. 1) Improved Reflexes: Speed +1 2) Reactive Plating: Armor +1 3) Enhanced Computer: All combat rolls get +1 4) Enhanced Muscles: Strikes made with no other weapon deal 1d6 damage. 5) Refractive Bits: At the beginning of each turn, gain Cover(1) 6) Charge Ball: Once per combat, spend one action to throw a homing ball at an enemy. It deals 1d6 damage, no Shoot/Strike roll required. Wound Track: 5 (+2 Armor Boxes) Fury Track: 5 Speed: 1 Combat Traits: Jump Jets: Your armor has some form of propulsion built into it. At the start of your turn, you can spend as many Fury as you want to gain that much Speed until the start of your next turn. Emergency Shield: Your armor has a shield that can be deployed in an emergency to ward off danger. You can spend 1 Fury to reduce the damage of an incoming attack by 2. Hammer Round: Spend 1 Fury. All Shoot attacks this turn have their damage dice increased by one rank. Non-combat Traits: Satchel Charge: Your character is always ready for a situation that might require a bit of extra ‘oomf’. Once per mission while making a Break roll, you can choose to automatically succeed, but the result is always immensely destructive and might have some side effects depending on your DM’s choice. It's loud and flashy and not at all subtle. Hacking Tools: Your armor has various tools, plug-ins, cabl… Primary: Shoot Secondary: Android Signature: Justice/Peace (Revolvers), Damage: 1d6 Heavy: Increase damage by one dice rank Akimbo: The signature weapon is actually two smaller identical weapons used at the same time. Reduce the damage by one dice rank but can roll two attacks per action against the same target. Distinguishing Feature: Something Up Your Sleeve: Your character always has a pouch, bag, holster, satchel or whatever that they can pull something out of to help in the current situation. Once per combat as an action, choose one of the following options, or a custom one at GM discretion, and roll a 1d10 to see if you find the object you were looking for. If you roll 5 or higher, you find it and immediately use it. If you roll 4 or lower, you just need to look harder, and can choose to try again on another turn. -Special Ammunition: Oh right, you definitely packed bullets designed to fight this kind of thing. Your next attack that hits with your signature weapon will reduce the Speed or Armor of your opponent to 0 until the start of the next round. -Medipack: This was definitely packed because your teammates keep losing all their blood. You or a character of your choice restore 1 wound. -Thingamajig:You have no idea what this thing does, even after you use it, and neither do your foes. Everyone is extremely confused. All characters in combat roll 1d6. That is their speed for the next round of combat. -Bomb: Well, that seems very straightforward, why did you have a massive explosive tucked away in your bag under all that other junk? Target opponent takes 1d10 damage, ignoring armor. Wound Track: 5 Fury Track: 5 Speed: 1 Combat Traits: Covering Fire: When an Enemy Lunges, you can spend 1 Fury to make an immediate combat roll with your ranged weapon. Whether or not the combat roll succeeds, the enemy’s Lunge fails and they can not Lunge again this turn. Hammer Round: Spend 1 Fury. All Shoot attacks this turn have their damage dice increased by one rank. Bio… Primary: Android Secondary: Smash Signature: Augmented Strength: Any Melee strikes have +2 to hit on the combat roll and add 1 to the damage roll. Natural Weapons: Either claws, elbow blades, or other similar items are installed on your body. Increase damage dice on Strikes done with these weapons by 1 category. Distinguishing Feature: Resilient Body: Your mods are so extensive you find yourself extremely hard to kill, and often come back from combat with various parts of you missing. No matter how many Wound boxes are filled in, you do not lose another wound until the track is filled as if you had no wounds at all. Wound Track: 5 Fury Track: 5 (+2 Bioreserves) Speed: 1 Combat Traits: Rage Pulse: At a thought, you can add a bit of extra oomph to your Strikes. Before rolling for a Strike, you can choose to spend 1 Fury. If the Strike hits, increase its damage by one category. Bioreserves: You have two additional Fury points, but separate from your normal Fury bar. These can be spent normally, but do not recover until a mission is over. Clash: When you would be hit by a melee combat roll, you can choose to spend one action from your next turn and roll an opposing combat roll instead. If your roll is higher, the attack misses. If your roll is lower, the attack hits as it would before. Non-combat Traits: Intimidating: You are a big mass of muscles and angry and you certainly look like you could fold someone into origami at the slightest provocation. When using Conversate in any situation where threats are possible or reasonable, you roll twice and take the highest, and you have a +2 bonus to all Smash checks. Lemme Help: Sure, big muscles and anger can’t help in every situation, but sometimes you can help those without the big muscles and anger! When another character is making a non-combat check, describe how your character thinks they are helping. Roll 1d10. On a 1, you have failed horribly and give them -1 to their roll. On 2-4, you have just failed, with no penalty…

I always get a bit annoyed that my dev talk about actually making the #CatgirlsInPowerArmor game lag way behind someone randomly reposting the alignment chart I scratched out in five seconds when the idea hit me.

Can't tell if the fact that #CatgirlsInPowerArmor effectively uses a mixture of my Nasuverse leveling system (pick new traits on level up) and my desertpunk combat (simple rolls + energy meter refilled through cool stuff) means I find what works for me, or I reuse the same ideas all the time.

So far the stuff I've designed I've tried to keep it down to simple choices, and a minimal amount.

#CatgirlsInPowerArmor: Pick primary+secondary, 2 combat traits from primary, 1 from secondary, 1 non-combat trait, signature option, distinguishing feature.
December 3, 2025 at 12:27 AM

Almost kinda feel like #CatgirlsInPowerArmor might be ready for some playtesting? I think I'll come up with some more traits for each class once I see how it actually plays, and writing up advancement rules now, but it feels pretty robust at the moment.
