Re: Power Rangers 5E is happening
Yeah, that kind of makes that move of theirs pretty puzzling aside from the "get the D&D 5e audience" factor (since unlike say, Transformers, there already is an outlet for MLP fans who like RPGs).
I tried watched it, it's very much Teen Titan Go! level.
Eagerly waiting for it.

Re: Power Rangers 5E is happening
Official in the sense that Hasbro is insisting Renegade Games use the 5e rule set.
This may include the option to use more features then just the 5e SRD. Unless we see the contract, or more details come out...we are all, (myself included), speculating around the edges of the press release.
Monte Cook Games insisted that the 3PP producer that is making the Diamond Throne re-release use the Cypher Rules system, despite, the 3PP really wanting to use the 5e SRD.
Of course Hasbro wants as many games to use the 5e ruleset as possible, it helps not fragment the marketplace, which they currently Dominate.Last edited by Satori01; 2020-09-30 at 11:38 AM.

Re: Power Rangers 5E is happening
This increases the likelihood of a 6e in ~2023. This is late stage supplement treadmill stuff.

Re: Power Rangers 5E is happening
The conversation you jumped involved jaappleton talking without another poster who doubted it was going to be D&D 5e, claiming it could be for the 5th edition of an entirely different roleplaying game. If you agree its D&D 5e and your only point is hair splitting between how "offical" D&D 5e power ranger is going to be then theres no real disagreement.

Re: Power Rangers 5E is happening
d20 modern wasn't a game using the Dungeons and dragons 3rd addition system, it was a game in the same family of systems.
This to me seems like it's going to b its own thing, but be Backwards compatible with 5E
I imagine the assumption is that the party will consist mostly of the same class, or that there are different classes that all have the same kind of subclasses, representing how a team almost always has the same power source and base chassis with differences being their weapons and, in later series, what the "element" of their power was.
I imagine that character options will revolve around whether you only have powers when morphed or if you have powers all the time and morphing makes them stronger, whether you're more tech-based, more magic-based, or somewhere in the middle(technically, it's almost always a mix but some seasons very clearly invoke one more than the other) and what your specific gimmick is.
...Though I'll admit, I'm imagining a party of Warlocks with The Morphing Grid as their patron.
The real question is how they'll handle Zords.I also answer to Bookmark and Shadow Claw.

Re: Power Rangers 5E is happening
As someone who's played the 'story telling' game, it's more like those dnd sessions that are more about theater of mind and roleplaying than the more combat/skill focused aspects of 5e. It's very much aimed towards very young kids, where I imagine if they decided to make like a carbon copy 5e equivalent there would be more substance.
Also I highly doubt that they would base it off of the G5 pony stuff (unless it happens to coincide with the G5's launch) or the 4.5 stuff as G4 is pretty much a whole setting they can easily do whatever they want in since they're no longer using it as show material. I also imagine those dnd/mlp crossover ponies are more designed like the classic ponies due to hasbro thinking anyone not into mlp would more so remember the classic pony designs. Or maybe they just figured the dnd audience would like more realistic equine designs.

Re: Power Rangers 5E is happening
Really...you are not speculating around the edges of the press release?
As I, said, I am speculating....if I am wrong, then I am wrong.
This being a somewhat speculative thread....(we don't know what the branding nor the products look like..I think we can all agree)...I don't feel ashamed at being wrong.

Re: Power Rangers 5E is happening
Of all the franchises to make into a D&D-esque game, Power Rangers might actually not be the worst one they could have picked. Really think about it for a moment. What does your usual episode of Power Rangers look like?
The Rangers:
- are faced with a problem in town.
- investigate the situation.
- fight some monsters.
- deal with some challenges on the way.
- find a solution to the overall problem or discover the villain behind it.
- top it off with a fight against the big boss monster that is won through teamwork.
It's not all that different from a non-dungeon D&D adventure. And heck, you can't tell me that the Megazord isn't an ability that they can use only once per long rest.
Don't look to closely at the comparison, it's a joke that falls apart if you think about it for more than six seconds. :P

Re: Power Rangers 5E is happening
If you Google search "5th edition" in incognito mode, the first page is full of 5e D&D links.
But yes, I suppose it's entirely possible the company that owns D&D might be referring to some other unknown RPG that's in its 5th Edition without specifying anything further.
I'm not sure that any other tabletop RPG on the planet is actually in its 5th edition, but it could be! I checked to see what GURPS is up to and it looks like it's only 4th Edition, but maybe Hasbro means to say that GURPS is releasing a 5th edition with Power Rangers as its launch product!
Nothing is knowable. You can't trust your senses because they could be lying to you.
Knowledge is only delusion.

Re: Power Rangers 5E is happening
The Megazord usage is actually fairly easy to translate into game mechanics.
Call it a group power. Tasha's is already going to deal with 'group patrons', so its possible this is a further expansion on what will be an existing thing. Everyone, on their turn, can use their action to summon ______ (Insert favorite Megazord here) to deal ______ damage, scaling as you level up. This power recharges on a long rest.

Re: Power Rangers 5E is happening
That would have been a fantastic episode though, wouldn't it? Only question is who their GM would have been.
I guess that works if you use the Megazord only for its finisher, though it'd be a shame to have no mechanics for full, proper Zord battles. They don't happen to often in the show, I know, but I'd still expect them if I were to buy this.

Re: Power Rangers 5E is happening
I've got no problems with it, although I never got all that into power rangers so I probably won't partake... If there are any cool subclasses though, I'll at least take a look.

After reading the reception in this thread it doesn't seem very positive.... Why is that?

Re: Power Rangers 5E is happening
Personally, I'm all for this. I'm all for any product which gets more people into the hobby. My opinion on tabletop, regardless of what system you like to play, has always been "Tabletop can be the best game you've ever played in your life... But if done poorly, can also be the worst." The caveat regarding how bad it can be typically is regarding the behavior of others at the table, we've all either heard or witnessed first hand some horror stories.
So I'm all for this Power Rangers crossover content, because it can bring in new people to the hobby.
You can choose not to use any and all of its content at your table, if you so choose. Its an entirely optional thing. If you don't want Megazords and a dagger you play like a flute that summons a mechanical dragon (And if you don't want that, what's wrong with you?) then you have the ability to outright ignore this content.
