This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Sharknado needs a setting!

Just a week or so ago I found a copy of Stellar Game's IT CAME FROM THE LATE LATE LATE SHOW at a local con for two measly bucks.

It's actually really, really good. It would be PERFECT for something like this. Have a gaming party were somebody brings a surprise z-movie, you all watch it, and then the designated GM has to wing a sequel.

Agreed!

I had a copy of that a long time ago (which has sadly gone missing) and it was the first game that came to mind.
Remember when Illinois Nazis where a joke in the Blue Brothers movie?

Democracy, meh? (538)

 "The salient fact of American politics is that there are fifty to seventy million voters each of whom will volunteer to live, with his family, in a cardboard box under an overpass, and cook sparrows on an old curtain rod, if someone would only guarantee that the black, gay, Hispanic, liberal, whatever, in the next box over doesn't even have a curtain rod, or a sparrow to put on it."

I hate the idea behind sharknado. Bad movies are only fun when they take themselves seriously. It's like love. You can't plan it; it just happens despite yourself.

That being said, if I'd love to see a setting based on something like Ninja Terminator.

I'd love to take down the Ninjer Empire.

:( Now I jones for one. Amazon has some ridonkulous $100 price on the website. I might have to trawl the used book stores and ebay for a reasonable price.

Roadhouse has one nice oneliner.

Allthough a buddy of mine came up with a superior variation on the theme aged 16.

Quote from: Rincewind1;675228SO YOU ARE A STAR OF MICHAEL BAY FILM AND YOU HID BEHIND A CAR?

Any turn the car suffered 5 or more damage, roll 1d20. On a roll of 11 to 20, nothing happens. On a roll of 1 through 10, the car explodes and damages everything in a ten meters circle with strength of 1d10 to 10d10, depending on the D20 value.

There is actually a module in Dragon set in modern England with rules for various modern items and even driving rules amongst other weirdness.

But you can plunder Gamma World for appropriate items as they are cross compatible with D&D. I believe one of the modules has an entry for a shotgun.

Also dragon 132 has an entry for the "chainsword" for BECMI.
Not activated it does damage as a 2-handed sword. But activated it does an additional 1d6 damage. If it hits someone with armour, the armour has to save vs crushing blow or be degraded one AC step worse. Treents must save vs petrification or be sawn in half and killed.

Replace Treent with Shark.

City Beyond the Gate in Dragon 100 lists shotgun as
Damage (s-m/l) 1d10/1d4, rate 1(2), shots 1(2), reload time 2, range s-2/m-6/l-9

OOH! Hey, thanks! Wait, it doesn't have the same cover as the glossy amazon one, and there's 3 editions. Is there a big difference between editions/additions, and what does that glossy cover one do different?

I like Sharknado and Sharknado II.  Yes they are dumb movies that are trashy.  Though how many movies try to hide this fact?  Too damn many and that brings out the beauty of Sharknado.  Sharknado is honest with you.  When you sit down to watch Sharknado you know your gonna watch a dumb movie and Sharknado delivers it in a epic fashion.  I think this is the next Evil Dead.
