Campaign Recruitment: Trust Precure
Nov. 13th, 2014 09:06 amWhat’s all this then?
Trust Precure is a tabletop RPG campaign I will be running in the near future based on the Precure franchise!
What’s a Precure?
Precure is short for Pretty Cure, and it’s a long-running series of magical girl animes about teenagers having karate fights with huge, doofy monsters while experiencing clinically hazardous levels of friendship. The game will run in a similar vein, but with an original plot, cast and setting.
What’s the premise?
Exemplar , the magical kingdom of truth, was invaded by the dark kingdom of Deception! Amidst the chaos, one member of the royal family, Prince Juste, escaped to a world called Earth, carrying one of Exemplar’s greatest magical artifacts. Bringing with him five fairies and no useful skills of his own, he searches for the prophesized legendary warriors who will save his kingdom, while the forces of Deception draw ever nearer.
From a player standpoint, the campaign is about a group of girls living in the fictional town of Keohoa, Hawaii, in the year 2014, who are drawn into a ridiculous double life of magical superheroics and the world of the mundane. Themes will include trust, secrets, seeking the truth, comedic karate laser battles, and the bonds of friendship.
What’s the system?
Fate: Accelerated Edition! It’s like regular Fate, but even MORE streamlined. Approaches instead of Skills mean that you can do anything well if you can figure out how to do it in an idiom that your character favors. A single Stress Track measures both physical and mental damage. I did a writeup of how to play it here.
What do I need to know about Precure?
Having seen any appreciable amount of the franchise is optional! Style-wise, just look up an OP or two on Youtube and you should have a pretty good idea of what to expect. The genre conventions to keep in mind:
I want in! What do I do?
Reply to this post with the following information:
From all who do that, I will use a variety of mysterious factors to select up to five players for our party, and the game will begin at an undetermined time in the not-too-distant future.

Having seen any appreciable amount of the franchise is optional! Style-wise, just look up an OP or two on Youtube and you should have a pretty good idea of what to expect. The genre conventions to keep in mind:
- Friendship.
- The cast is generally somewhere in the 14~15 age range, although single outliers as far as 9 or 17 (or like 70 that one time) are not unheard of.
- Everyone has a magical girl alter ego name that starts with the word “Cure”.
- Here is a list of sample names. Don’t use any of these ones, though.
- Everyone has fairies following them around, providing exposition and magic powers. Often, but not always, named after desserts.
- Everyone has a steadily increasing pile of magical doodads that can
boost toy saleshelp them overcome adversity. - Teams are color-coded, super sentai style. The leader is usually but not always the pink one.
- Friendship.
I want in! What do I do?
Reply to this post with the following information:
- Your name!
- Precure familiarity level!
- Whether or not you are in anything else I’m running presently, or ran recently.
- Whether or not you’re also looking at AOB’s game, to help us coordinate things. Joining both will hopefully not be impossible!
- The times during the week when you are most available.
- At least one one-line character concept. You won’t be beholden to it, but it’ll get the gears turning.
- One thing you remember about Scooby Doo.
From all who do that, I will use a variety of mysterious factors to select up to five players for our party, and the game will begin at an undetermined time in the not-too-distant future.
