School House Rumble 2: The Last Generation of Fighters or SHR2 for short is a sequel to the first game. Cleric of Hell's Brigade is once again the scenarist and Game Master.
Premise
Over 300 years have passed since the first SHR RPG. Now, in the year 2310, the Arcadian Institute, a privately run school outside of the United Earth's Coalition jurisdiction, has summoned your character for training in the useage of their "special" or "unique" powers/abilities. The Arcadian Institute wants you! That's right, you've just been sent a letter of acceptance into this super private Institute. Here, you will learn to harness your abilities and unleash your potential. The road is long, hard, and frought with peril as mankind's new technology clashes with old world magic, the human mind, and the energy of the soul. Welcome to the Institute! |
Setting
300 years after the events of A New Generation of Fighters, a new class of students has been recruited into the Arcadian Institute. Rebuilt in the spirit of the old Academy - which fell to ruin by cataclysmic events - and founded by Dragon Dorm Alumnus Kagura Ise-Smith, the Institute is very much a futuristic update of what the old castle was.
Its towers suspended in the air by a series of anti-gravity engines, it's a high tech equivalent of the old wizard's castle.
Gameplay
Once again, the system of the game is text-based, strengths based on points allocated in stats in a character creation sheet. There is a new ability, tech, in lieu of the technologically based setting.
