SCRPG fans, I come to you today to bring attention to an intolerable situation. Today marked the release of Issue #50 of Gallant Games’ d6 Tinyzine, which provides support for their numerous Tiny d6 game systems. One of these articles sent a chill down my spine. To quote from the DTRPG teaser:
- Rise of the Super Pets, by Jack Norris shares optional rules for playing a Super Pet in Tiny Supers. You’ll find new archetype templates, as well as readymade heroic and villainous pets like Knight, the Gallant dog, and Tyrant, the evil doggoganger.
Not only has this established a clear Super-Pet rules gap between Tiny d6 and the SCRPG, they’ve also outdone Christopher when it comes to terrible wordplay in one fell swoop.
Evil. Doggoganger.
A mere two words, and yet they make the entire Guise Book pale by comparison.
This cannot be allowed to pass without response. I call on you, fellow fans of the SCRPG. Let’s have some homebrew rules for adding a proper menagerie of super-pets to our games. Guise Cat cannot be left to stand (or lie down napping) alone here, people. There must be others if we hope to avoid being left behind in the highly competitive field of Silver Age trope emulation. The pressure is on. Will we allow a system that uses nothing but six-sided dice (and tiny ones at that!) to put our favorite polyhedral-dice-using rules set to shame?
This is, of course, all an absurdist joke. The fact that the nature of the internet requires me to explicitly state that is deeply tiresome.
