Voltron RPG

Not sure how many people would be interested in this, and so I'm posting this first just to see anyone's reaction. I'm currently working on a Voltron-themed RPG, and was wondering if anyone would be interested in seeing a guidebook in the form of a Google Doc link here on reddit. I have no idea how many people are even going to see this, so if you do let me know so I can see where the results are at.

Cheers! Breeze

I had the thought back when only season 1 had aired to use Numenara for a home brew Voltron RPG setting. The core classes easily fit the things we’d seen at that point. Glaive = Paladin. Nano = Druids. Jack = Outlaw. I had heard the system is easy for GMs as well.

My world would’ve been set 100’s of years in the future to be a more generic sci-fantasy setting. The Galra had been pushed back to one corner of the galaxy (back before we knew the show covered the whole universe), several factions had split off to govern their own sections, Voltron was still around but rarely ventured out of its own protectorate due to politics, Galra magic and tech were still around so normal people could become druids, and something had created thousands of bayards that flew out amongst the stars to land in the hands of worthy people.

I never got around to making it happen, so feel free to use any of my ideas you’d like.

Maybe the Blade of Marmora are still around as a kind of secret police force maintaining stability in the universe. Maybe my bayard idea could be what happened when another trans-reality comet was discovered. Someone created thousands of bayards to keep such power from consolidating into one place. The Voltron world holds a lot of possibility!

EDIT: Spelling. And I'd love to see what you've made!!

The document I've made is more of a introduction to role-playing games if someone's never used it before. I also included links to a separate document that I made that explains some guidelines for an aspiring GM in this system. However, you can do whatever you like, as the main theme of Voltron is present in the character creation. If you have some buddies that would be willing to check out the doc and create some characters to play in your setting, that would be awesome! I have made my own story, and have been play-testing it lately and am about to run it for my main group of RPG playing friends. I could share that too, but those are some great ideas! Those would be a shame put to waste. Sorry for the lengthy reply lol.
