Miniatures of two different anime characters opposing each other. One of them with a large template representing ice damage underneath him

Miniatures of characters from Street Fighter and Final Fantasy 7 are fighting in a derelict amusement park

Characters from Dragon Ball Z and Naruto are fighting on a pirate ship

This year I finally managed to get a start on a project I've wanted to do for years: an #AnimeTabletop. Rules to represent fast-paced Shonen action with a character creation system that allows you to squeeze in whoever you could think of. I hope I can get it into a representable format next year.

A 40mm scale model of a man wearing a white jacket over his bare chest. He's smoking two cigars at the same time and carries cigars in various slots on his jacket.

The same model standing on a pirate ship with the series' hero in the foreground

Smoker from #OnePiece, soon to be a sexy hunk in the live action show. Painted for my w.i.p. #AnimeTabletop

Model by RN Estudio, print by LOOT FOR NERDS.

A 3D print of a huge snake impaled on a spiky tree. This is to recreate a scene from Final Fantasy VII. 3 miniatures are standing on the ground before it. The other pictures are the same scene from different angles.

"Did Sephiroth... paint this?"

No, it was me. A 3D print I found on Etsy, design by Ethan Savage Miniatures. I just had to get it as terrain piece.

I don't want to get into homebrewing MCP but I do have my own w.i.p. #animetabletop I'm working on. ^^

A round spaceship toy from Dragonball Z, roughly 30cm wide

Bought this a few years ago specifically to use as tabletop terrain and only used it once. But now with #animetabletop in the writing phase I'm sure I'll find a spot for it again. ^^

Various models are standing in front of a large green creature who just got knocked into the large ship terrain piece

Coolest moment of the game: E. Honda punches Cell into the bow of the ship for extra damage. #animetabletop

A scene of a 32mm wargame. On board of a large wooden ship a huge bald man is fighting a ninja

Nappa is fighting Kakashi on board of a pirate ship and honestly, kinda what I was hoping this game would look like. #animetabletop #goddamnitnappa

A gaming table showing large ship surrounded by land, wooden docks and trees

Various 38mm miniatures of anime characters are standing on a brown and grassy field.

Again, miniatures of various anime and videogame characters

3rd game of the home-made #animetabletop, this time with a mix of various franchises.

Two 32-38mm models. One is a hunched over dude in green clothes with a golden horned helmet, standing on an ice formation. Thw other is a young muscular man in tight clothes doing a dramatic pose with his hand in front of his face.

Quick bit of painting in the morning. Loki from MARVEL ZOMBIES re-based for #MCP and a 3D print of Jonathan Joestar for the #animetabletop I'm working on.

A 3x3 tabletop set up of an abandoned amusement park with a broken down rollercoaster

Models facing off. A large green-skinned beast creature with orange hair vs. a spiky-haired anime swordsman

On the tracks of the rollercoaster, two female martial artists are facing off

Several models, including a very large almost naked wrestling type guy and an orange cat Beast

Second game of the homebrew #animetabletop, this time thanks to our character creation tool is actually a group of Street Fighters vs. Avalanche.

Core mechanics work well but we need to crunch the numbers a bit. I feel like the characters don't do enough damage yet.

A 40mm scale miniature of a large man with big blue and red robot arms. He's wearing googles, has stylish blue hair and wears nothing but an open hawai Shirt and a pair of speedos.

The same model surrounded by other characters from the same manga with his huge robot in the back

Finished painting a 3D print of Franky, my favourite One Piece character.
I love this design from RN Estudio, it's my favourite take on post-timeskip Franky. The hair and the goggles really tie it together. Looking forward to put him on the table in the next test round for the #animetabletop

a longer text from an A.I. asked about similar techniques from anime like the Solar Flare from Dragon Ball Z. Long story short, it suggested the quirk "shining" for the MY HERO ACADEMIA character Brightburn only that character doesn't exist.

Here's your Google A.I. failure of the day. Was discussing the #animetabletop I wondered if there are similar techniques to Krillin's Solar Flare and my co-writer said "let's google it" and the A.I. summary talked about "MHA hero Brightburn" who of course doesn't exist. That was the horror movie.

Super excited we got this off the ground. I only jumped on when the core mechanics were already written down but it's fun to help shape a new system. #animetabletop

I want to talk about this a bit more.

For a few years now I had a bunch of miniatures from various Shonen Anime (mostly Dragon Ball Z) and I've been looking for a way to get them on the tabletop. And then I found a person online who shared the same brain worms and I jumped on board. #AnimeTabletop

A tabletop set up in 3x3 feet with a small japanese hut surrounded by bamboo wood and rock formations

A model is standing on a template representing a rule that makes him much slower.

A thin red laser beam is projected onto the surface of the game area to represent a ranged attack.

A cone-shaped template representing a flame thrower is held above several models.

First round of the yet unnamed #AnimeTabletop. It's not all my idea, I just jumped onto a project someone else was already working on. But so far some very good ideas to put dramatic Shonen fights on the gaming table.
