Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })SenZar is a very high-powered and Heavy Metal influenced tabletop RPG which first appeared in the mid-1990s, during the 2nd Edition AD&D era. It immediately met with controversy due to a botched Usenet advertising effort by the developers. (Nowadays, however, games like F.A.T.A.L. and Wraeththu have eclipsed SenZar as the "worst game EVER".)Aside from the Usenet incident, SenZar's main claim to fame is its wholehearted embrace of shameless power-gaming. From the first page of the main rulebook, player are openly encouraged to make their characters as ludicrously powerful as the rules will allow, kick ass and hoard loot at every possible opportunity, and ultimately ascend to godhood.The actual rule system uses d20 rolls over a target number (with the roll increasing to d100 for stats of 20+, which are typically reserved for gods). Characters have a race, a class, and a level like in most D&D clones, but unlike most D&D clones, the power of spells reaches city-leveling heights (even before godhood), warrior types can be lovingly fleshed out with enough martial arts powers to give most superheroes a run for their money, dozens of exotic materials are available to artifice super-powerful equipment with, players get 'Fate Points' allowing them to edit poor die rolls, and even a first-level character can start with magic items that wouldn't be permitted as major artifacts in a more sane setting.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })Naturally, the artwork is also high in cheesecake.The setting itself is a fantasy world with hints of a Space Opera background. The planet SenZar was settled in ancient times as a slave world by the intergalactic Death Horde, only for the Dragon — the Life Stream of SenZar — to inspire the slaves to overthrow their Death Horde masters and begin an unending Cosmic Chess Game between good and evil. Playable races include typical (but 'metalled up') fantasy fare like Starin and Khazak, as well as various Beast Men, Plant People, demonic humanoids, a Captain Ersatz race or two, and a host of others. | |

The Tauran race has this as an inborn feature, as they can only reproduce by mating with Humans — much to the unspeakable disgust of the Rellians. In fairness to the Taurans, both male and female Taurans are fiercely protective of their Human mates, and treat them with the utmost care. | |

Deity of Human Origin | |
| SenZar (Tabletop Game) / int_33179374 | comment |
Deity of Human Origin: Rel, the first Human to ascend as a Deific God. But this screwed him up badly, as he started a brand new pantheon, and thus didn't have the support he needed to deal with all the energy from the masses of Humans who worshiped him. Rel's original mindset of tolerance and unity for all the free races was thus replaced by the xenophobia and bigotry of his Human followers, and the religion Rel started became yet another of SenZar's destructive hordes — with Rel himself backing them up. | |

Blessed with Suck | |
| SenZar (Tabletop Game) / int_3c3f28a5 | comment |
Blessed with Suck: To a certain extent, the game paints all three paths of godhood with this brush. Hooray, you're a god and you have more power than you ever dreamed as a mere mortal! But... Eternal: Imagine the dregs of 4chan, but with god powers and a universe that rewards them for trolling everyone. Congratulations, you're now one of them. Deific God: The good news is that you're part of a pantheon, and you can expect their support and guidance. The bad news is that you get dragged into all their problems and their god wars, too. Oh, and your big plan to skyrocket to supreme godhood by amassing hordes of followers? Pretty much everyone on SenZar who wants to worship a god already does, and poaching another Deific God's followers is a great way to start yet another god war. Material God: Good or evil, you are now a playing piece in the Dragon's Game, warring with opposing Material Gods forever. If you do well and things get too unbalanced in your side's favor? You can expect the VoidSpawn to come restore the balance (at the Dragon's request, no less) by snuffing you out. Oh, and if you are the VoidSpawn? Then the entire point of your existence is to preserve the universe's status quo by killing whichever gods the Dragon wants you to — and you have absolutely no say in the matter. | |

Magikarp Power: Spellcasters are like this at the start. At level 1, unless you exploit the Status power to start with magic items that increase your Power Point total, you'll be out of mojo after casting one spell that whacks one target. At level 20, you can annihilate a city block every combat round without breaking a sweat. | |

Talking Weapon: Skurge, the supreme artifact sword. It has unique powers for killing gods and can only be wielded by a VoidSpawn.

Black-and-Grey Morality: SenZar has no shortage of Always Chaotic Evil monsters, races, societies, and gods... and it can sometimes be hard to tell them apart from the forces of "good". | |

Jerkass Gods | |
| SenZar (Tabletop Game) / int_73f7975f | comment |
Jerkass Gods: SenZar offers too many examples of this trope to count (potentially including jerkass PCs who ascend to godhood), but the prize for most jerkassness goes to the Eternals, the only type of gods who actually gain (even more) power for being jerkasses — pranking, manipulating, tasteless, holy war-starting jerkasses. | |

Linear Warriors, Quadratic Wizards | |
| SenZar (Tabletop Game) / int_812ee32b | comment |
Linear Warriors, Quadratic Wizards: SenZar arguably features this trope twice over: Linear Warriors against Quadratic Martial Artists, and then either of the former are linear against Quadratic Spellcasters. Plain warriors are outclassed by the bonuses that martial artist classes get (particularly involving the Focus discipline), and the gap only increases as they go up in level. Most spellcasters, on the other hand, will ultimately learn spells that can annihilate an entire city in one combat round... and that's before they ascend as a god. | |

Interspecies Romance | |
| SenZar (Tabletop Game) / int_8485d41a | comment |
Interspecies Romance: The Tauran race has this as an inborn feature, as they can only reproduce by mating with Humans — much to the unspeakable disgust of the Rellians. In fairness to the Taurans, both male and female Taurans are fiercely protective of their Human mates, and treat them with the utmost care. The Akir race have their origin in frost giants who mated with pre-First Age Humans. Modern Akir also have no qualms about populating their harems by abducting women from other races (particularly the Azaar), although that is anything but "romantic". | |

Fantastic Fighting Style: More than any other D&D clone, SenZar emphasized Supernatural Martial Arts, with the "noble" Shy'r and "evil" Black Wyrm styles (and all their respective moves) occupying a prominent place in the rules. The third edition would have added the Human-centric Way of the Wolf, the Gladiator-only style Way of the Ring, and the Gargoyle race's White Raven style. | |

There Is No Kill Like Overkill: When it comes to going below 0 HP in SenZar, there is "down but not dead", there is "dead but resurrection is still on the table", and then there is "pulped beyond any hope of revival". (There's also getting soul-snuffed, which kills you beyond resurrection no matter how much HP you have left, but that's a different matter.) | |

Powers That Be: The Dragon, which is the Life Stream of SenZar, is about as mysterious and abstract as it gets.

RoofHopping | |
| SenZar (Tabletop Game) / int_b06186c2 | comment |
Roof Hopping: How the "Thieves' Highway" in Zengara works. In certain areas, the city streets are so crowded (or so well-guarded) that it's faster (and safer) to hop across the rooftops. | |

Take That!: Though it didn't name names, the foreword of SenZar's first edition was not very subtle about the developers' disdain for D&D. | |

Ascend to a Higher Plane of Existence | |
| SenZar (Tabletop Game) / int_bd2812b5 | comment |
Ascend to a Higher Plane of Existence: This is how Deific Gods ascend, as they get a plane of their own. This is both a blessing and a curse — on one hand, the only way to permanently kill a Deific God is to beat them on their own plane, where they will have their full power, the home ground advantage, and any help their pantheon wants to lend them. On the other hand, they can only affect the mortal world with 1 primal point avatars which are much more fragile than a Material God or an Eternal. | |

Human Sacrifice: And not just Humans, too. All Deific Gods gain power from the prayers and consecrated altars of their worshipers, but evil Deific Gods can (and will) also accept the sacrifice of sentient beings, absorbing the victim's Power Points. | |

Beyond the Impossible | |
| SenZar (Tabletop Game) / int_cc6f4612 | comment |
Beyond the Impossible: The game encourages this approach for when a PC ascends as a Material God, dying or exploding in a godlike conflagration that no one could conceivably survive — only for the omnipotent Dragon to remake the PC as a new Material God. | |

No Campaign for the Wicked: Averted, as players have the option to start with the evil Dark Earth and/or Anti-Life codes — and without the usual "only for advanced players" disclaimers that high fantasy games often have for playing evil alignments. | |

The Archmage: A specific special power that spellcaster characters can take, allowing them to learn spells outside their class's school of magic. If they go far enough in this direction, they can indeed end up as something not unlike this trope. | |

Talking Is a Free Action: The game both averts and lampshades this. You can yell at your enemies for free (albeit possibly causing them to make a Karma roll to resist going aggro on you), but you can also spend an action to attempt an intimidating Presence attack (debuffing your target if it works). | |
