Tenchi Muyo! Ryo-ohki / Princess Ayeka and RPGs
Last post by Kokoro - January 01, 2024, 03:45:49 PM
I have both copies of Tenchi Muyo RPG and Tenchi Universe RPG, and I'm working on a project to start converting all the characters I know to Big Eyes Small Mouth 4 (since these games are based on the Revised Second Edition).  However, I've come across an interesting situation.  I would have thought that the characters would be mostly the same between these two games, since the character is the same, just the official backgrounds are different.

In Tenchi Muyo RPG, Ayeka has a Body of 4, Mind of 4, and Soul of 7.
In Tenchi Universe RPG, Ayeka has a Body of 5, Mind of 4, and Soul of 6.

The point values calculate to the same usage, so that's only a minor detail. However, when I'm scanning down towards the Special Powers section, things are wildly different.
In Tenchi Muyo RPG, there is an attack called "Energy Fist", Damage: 50, and another attack called "Energy Balls", Damage 30.
In Tenchi Universe RPG, there's an attack called "Log Zap", Damage: 50, and another attack called "Emerald Energy Blast", Damage 60

It appears to me that the Tenchi Universe version of Ayeka is more powerful than in the OVA setting.  The higher Body stat would give Ayeka more strength for Unarmed attacks, but the lower Soul stat would maker her Special Abilities weaker, but not by much.

Anyway, do you agree with my assessment?  Or based on everything you all know, what would you recommend?  I realize that BESM has had two revisions since these characters were imported into the system, and I'll have to do some other adjustments to ensure they are all balanced properly.

Tenchi Muyo! Ryo-ohki / Comiket 103

I completely forgot about C103 until I saw it on the news this evening.
I jumped on Mandarake and discovered that the C103 offering is basically a waste of time.

Kajishima Onsen (Masaki Kajishima) Tenchi Muyo -If- "I haven't grown anything since elementary school (tentative)" Part 5

I've ordered it and will post it on e-hentai when it shows up and I get it scanned.
I was really hoping for Shidou Hen stuff. I would also have liked to see Tenchi Muyo -If- 7. Ah well.
I'll check Mandarake again in a few days and see if Kajishima has a second offering.

I hate seeing Ai Orikasa replaced for any reason. But this makes sense.

Now that I think about it, that art piece reminds me of the girls from Black Heaven / Kachou Ohji.

Yeah, those numbers aren't bad. A few thousand copies on release week, at the prices we know are solid.

Also, I'm seeing OAV 5 fullset for sale on ebay at ~$100.
