I would like to DM a Kingdom Hearts inspired game and I’ve heard from Puffin Forest that Open Legend is an excellent free generic system.
The time in which I’ll set the campaign is long before Birth by Sleep. It will take place a few months after the world was separated into different worlds after the Keyblade War. In this campaign, I’ll go with the interpretation that the worlds are different universes rather than different planets.
I may not like the overall story of Dream Drop Distance, but I saw nothing wrong with the execution of the Sleeping Worlds and the Dream Eaters. The main setting in this campaign would be various Sleeping Worlds. Since the Sleeping Worlds were never explained in DDD, I plan to reveal the ultimate cause behind them in the campaign.
I understand that preparing for the game and making a general outline for what will happen in each world would be essential.
Some of the worlds I plan to use are Coco, Brother Bear, Pocahontas, Princess and the Frog and Inside Out.
The PCs will likely be a mixture of OC Keyblade wielders and Disney characters sent to investigate what went wrong in the separation.
There are many things I would like some help statting up. Firstly, Drive Forms. Drive Forms are super-powered forms that Sora is able to use in KHII and in the future, KH3. And I would like all of my PCs to be able to use them, including non-Keyblade wielders. Sora mostly powers up by fusing with one or more of his teammates. The Limit form is the only form where he is able to trigger it alone. Should I include a penalty form like the Anti-Form to balance out the PCs’ usage of them?
Nextly, Dream Eater helpers. Dream Eaters can be either good or bad and the Spirits, the good ones, can be created by gathering materials in the Sleeping Worlds. How would I make these NPC helpers?
Keyblade customization would also be essential. How would the Keychain system fit into Open Legend?
Lastly, Dive Mode (a means of traveling to the Sleeping Worlds in DDD). How would I utilize the travel between worlds and the enemies which will attack you during the travel period?
