Crossovers That Should Not Be: The Fandom Menace

[classicdrogn]

Hmm. I'd grabbed a copy of G:TT but not actually read through it - I'm on the negative side of indifferent about the Storyteller system and its dice pools, and actively annoyed by the World of Darkness and its grimderp - but poking through it, the entire Anything Goes school of martial arts, and the multitudinous strange branch arts used by various minor characters, looks rather like an offshoot of the Navigators who follow the "Miracles as special maneuvers" paradigm with Lemurian faith in a "higher reality" that makes it all work beyond the normal rules - they are all about kicking reason to the curb and winning by willpower and guts. Warping the game setting around to fit R1/2 probably means the various loosely-connected martial arts communities would at a minimum be a third side in the historical tug-of-war between Lemurians and Peerage, and their universally militaristic and equipment-light bent would mean they're difficult to curb either directly or by control of funding; fortunately since they are also generally focused on either improving themselves or at most outdoing a limited number of rivals they haven't CONQUERED THE WORLD! as the cliche goes.

- CD, Are you MAD!? This thing, this ... crossover of Ranma and WoD, should not be! IT SHOULD NOT BE!! You fool, do you want to destroy us all?

ETA: And I don't think Ranma is unmada, that's the province of Asuza and the Kunos

ETA2: You know, if you look at Fenspace as a setting for this where Mania has somehow been rendered into a physical form, it makes so much sense...
