Has anyone else come up with any new genres?
Interesting you should mention that just now, since I recently was working on putting together a Naruto themed Rumble! variant to teach kids. Not so much changing the rules or anything, just presenting them in such a way as to make them easier for kids to grasp, and more consistent with the flavor of the anime/manga. I got most of the way done with it and then got caught up in other things, but the basic concept is there. I changed some terminology and broke it down into more steps and gave it all a fresh coat of ninja-colored paint.
I can post what I have so far if anyone's interested.
Oh, and in case nobody is familiar with Naruto, it's a manga about student ninja, featuring highly stylized ninja magic and martial arts techniques that bear no resemblance to actual ninjutsu, but are very stylish and cool. And perfect for Rumbleizing, imnsho.
