For Street Fighter: The Storytelling Game
Just updated The G-File!
After I chose to convert Gill and Urien’s style as Pankration years ago with no official source, I was recently confirmed to be right via the Street Fighter official Vine!
I had them listed as Pankration / Elemental, now so does Capcom!
Just updated The G-File!
The next half of Alpha should go WAY faster with no weird Backgrounds or Styles. Just Special Maneuvers.
SFRPG.com: So you wrote the Players Guide huh?
Andrew J Lucas: Sure did. It was my second solo project. The first was a Cyberpunk 2020 adventure for Atlas Games.
SFRPG.com: Follow up question, why do you hate Street Fighter?
Andrew J Lucas: Oh I don’t hate Street Fighter, I love it. Chun Li was always my favourite character and I spent many many many hours playing the game. A roleplaying game is an excellent avenue to marry my arcade experience and my budding interest in writing for RPGs. And for White Wolf Games no less!

You can own a piece of SF:STG history!
A short time ago on social media I posted the original cover art asking if anyone had the source or a larger image. Since then I found both myself, on an art auction site. It’s pretty cool seeing it in a frame on a legit auction site, heh. Also the scan is large enough to admire the brush strokes.
It looks like it was last bought for $875.00 and the current owner is taking offers. [link]

White Wolf’s Street Fighter: The Storytelling Game role-playing game was published in 1994. Based on the world of the Street Fighter video games, it used a variant of the storyteller system popularized in White Wolf’s World of Darknessgames. Now out of print, it remains popular for its concise rules and accurate emulation of the game.

No apparent condition issues. Not examined under UV. Framed to an overall size of 29.75 x 22.75 inches.

The fan-made 20th Anniversary Edition has just been released by Street Fighter Paradise! This compiles all the published rules/systems and is a must-have for any fan of the game!
Friday I got my hands on a pre-release copy of the fan-made 20th Anniversary Edition from Street Fighter Paradise, which I posted about previously and let me just say: It. Is. Awesome.
(Rest assured, I will let you know when it is available publicly)
For those of you who haven’t been following this project it’s basically a nicely formatted, printable, (and ctrl+f searchable) PDF re-release of the game system organized into one volume covering the game system. The volume covers the game setting/rules/mechanics (everything you need to play) but NPCs, Adventures, etc will be available later in the “SF:20 Companion”.
Rather than just leaving the source material disjointed like the official releases, forcing players to look for moves in several different places, all the information is organized logically by chapter. So for example all the special maneuvers from the Core, Players Guide, Secrets of Shadoloo, Contenders, Shades of Gray, and Perfect Warrior, can now simply be found in Chapter Eight: Special Maneuvers. No flipping back and fourth. One stop shopping.
Besides just compiling, formatting and reorganizing, he also deals with the errors and omissions of the original release very gracefully. He carefully explains his decision making process (which usually involves his impressive knowledge of White Wolf mechanics) and allows you to go with his logic, or decide your way is better. That’s a perfect representation of the games “Golden Rule” (there are no rules, do what you want) and I much prefer it over the “THIS IS THE RULING!” version of making calls.
The Book breaks down as follows:
Chapter One: Introduction
Hello, this book is ____, original book overview, chapter overview, the world of street fighter, championship role call, styles summary, geography, summary of shadoloo…
Chapter Two: Playing Street Fighter
What is storytelling, dice, rolls, difficulties, examples…
Chapter Three: Character Creation
Pretty similar to the core character creation section but expanded with the new styles etc…
Chapter Four: Character Traits
All the attributes, abilities, backgrounds (including the new stuff like animal hybrids, and various staff members etc)
Chapter Five: The Expendables
Chi, willpower, renown, rank
Chapter Six: Styles of the Street Fighters
All of the styles.
Chapter Seven: Combat & Supplemental Rules
All of the combat rules, including duelists, weapons, stunts, fighting under water, etc…
Chapter Eight: Special Maneuvers
All of the special maneuvers
Chapter Nine: Storytelling
How to DM this crazy game.
Conclusion
This is my favorite chapter, where the author goes over all his design decisions, error corrections, errata, etc. Also introduces the reader to the SF:STG fandom with links etc.
The new version of The G-File is now in the Downloads section.
