WORLD TRIGGER /QST/ TL;DR
>settingJapan, Mikado City.
The organization Border uses the substance/energy form "trion" to create advanced technological weapons called Triggers and "trion bodies" which they fight in, so when their trion bodies are destroyed, they "bail out" back into their vulnerable bodies.
The Neighborhood, which is essentially outer space, consists of several countries which are basically like stars or planets orbiting. They all have Triggers as well.
Neighbors invade Mikado city occasionally to collect trion from humans. They sometimes take them back to the Neighborhood. We're on a mission to get our people back.
>rulesIn story mode you can just roleplay in your posts and roll dice if prompted for a skill check.
In battle mode we can have a grid map and do a turn-based improv thing, some of us can play enemies as well.
>char genPick a name, a character design, introduce their personality if you'd like, and pick their triggers. See
https://worldtriggerwiki.com/wiki/Trigger/Border_Triggers for more.
But basically you have 2 sets of 4 slots, and you can pick sniper rifles, guns, energy cubes, swords, shields, and things like grasshopper that let you hop around etc. you can just make shit up too.
>a narrative hook for people to start fromYou are a group of Border agents who are on the way to the Neighbor country, Zalgeist. It is one week before you are to travel to the Neighborhood. You are going to do one simulated battle amongst yourselves and then head out to the country where you will face a bizarre new culture and geography and the enemies that have taken your friends and family as fuel sources.
>>5994238That's a very, very good point...
I kind of just want to say "read the manga" because the manga is so good and explains the system way better than I could...
But I'll try to answer the questions you posed above.
