Reservoir Dogs.

It is and I did not know about the cancellation.  I was hoping for a good vamp/freak show:(

Spacemaster and Rolemaster

Then I could release the Rolemaster on a 1d10 system I wrote.  And a new edition of both and a nice line of miniatures.

According to Wargames Factory they're running $20k to make mould.  So I'd try for an evil races sprue with skelletons, orcs, goblins, hobgoblins, and trolls, a good races sprue with elves, dwarves, halflings, and humans, and a spacemaster races sprue with Falar, Oorts, Tulgar, Xanotasians, and Kagoth.  I'd try to have some compatible bits.  Human, halfing, dwarf, skelleton, goblin, tulgar, oort and elf hands could all be compatible allowing weapon swaps.  Similarly Hobgoblin heads and human bodies would be compatible, as would halfling and goblin heads and bodies.  Just for fun the troll and kagoth heads and hands would be swapable though a kagoth body with a troll head would be straight out of where the wild things are.

That sounds like such a huge deviation that I guess you could do it anyway. As long as you don't want to call it RM.

For $100,000 I'll let you rename my dog "Rolemaster".

!i!

I'd totally go for a Herculoids game... not that there is much to the setting, just a vast bestiary of 'monsters of the week'.  Maybe it'd make better as a skirmish wargame?

I don't have much faith in licensed games... so I'd take the money, buy up something cheap like 'Plan 9 From Outer Space' (a supplement for Psychobilly Retropocalypse?) and use the rest of the money to pay some really good writers/designers to make a great Harry Potter RPG under assumed names and then distribute it free on the webz.
This might annoy Rowling into greenlighting a 'real' HP RPG... thus bringing in loads of kiddies to RPGs and saving the day for the future of gamer humanity.

I know the folks who wrote The Lost Room on sci-fi network, and could probably talk them into giving me the rights for free to make an RPG out of it, provided it was good

I have a challenge for you - Spend the next eight hours in the Harry Potter section of //www.fanfiction.net - Then, come back here and tell us wether you can still honestly say that. :rolleyes:

I'd rather not... and besides, I wasn't being at all serious.

EDIT: I went and looked at that place... funny how every work of popular culture lends itself so easily to homoerotica.

This is why publishing house editors aren't paid enough. I don't know how much they're paid, but it can't possibly be enough.

Quote from: Ian Absentia;355645For $100,000 I'll let you rename my dog "Rolemaster".

Hmm.  What's the current name?  No point paying you to upgrade.

Quote from: David R;355475Ok, this may sound crazy but an ultra violent A Nightmare on Elm Street boardgame/rpg hybrid with the GM playing the role of Freddy ! Kids would dig it.

Awesome idea!

Quote from: David R;355475Vincent Barker should design it.

Terrible idea!

Random Idea! Fraggle Rock: The RPG

Quote from: Dirk Remmecke;355642That sounds like such a huge deviation that I guess you could do it anyway. As long as you don't want to call it RM.

To clarify I wrote a d10 game called The Rolemaster's Apprentice that is set up to introduce the concepts in Rolemaster as an introductory freebee.  It's largely a response to the nonsense out there about Rolemaster being complex.  The rules are Rolemaster's rules or derived from them directly but the character sheet is about half a page and the charts are reduced in size and scope.  ICE hasn't given me permission to release it and without the name it becomes something of a pointless exercise.

The new edition would be more RMSS than RM2 but it would certainly be a d% game with lots of charts, open ended rolls and so forth.  It would indeed still be Rolemaster.

As for other media properties.  Please understand, I don't run liscenced games and never will.  Nor do I believe they are at all healthy for game companies or the general health of the hobby.  Create something new please.

Quote from: Hairfoot;355718Hmm.  What's the current name?  No point paying you to upgrade.

Alternately "Der Pisshund" and "Mr. Widdles".  All too often he goes by "Rot-ten!" and "Shithead!"  I'm never sure what to call him from one day to the next.  I figure being under contract to call him "Rolemaster" would simplify matters greatly.
