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.

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.

Quote from: Ian Absentia;355782Alternately "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.
Those sound like Rottweiler names.  I think "Merp" would better suit something Beagle-ish.

Apparently, he changes them to kittens and then says they don't belong to your dog any more.

Quote from: Narf the Mouse;355730Random Idea! Fraggle Rock: The RPG

That is doable.  The people who own the Fraggle Rock IP are pimping it hard right now.  It could be purchased, for a relatively low price.

Yeah, but I have had little direct contact with the concept/TV show. Hence, why it's a random idea.
The main problem with government is the difficulty of pressing charges against its directors.

Given a choice of two out of three M&Ms, the human brain subconsciously tries to justify the two M&Ms chosen as being superior to the M&M not chosen.

The Avengers. Currently, it's probably not worth the whole 100k, though, so I'd use what was left over to buy the rights to the Captain Scarlet and the Mysterons.

Ooo! Space:1999 or UFO might be good options too.

*If* you could get either for $100,000 or less I'd go with Marvel or Harry Potter.

Otherwise I'd go for Amber, His Dark Materials, Twilight, Primeval, maybe True Blood, The X-Files, and a host of others :p

I know someone who was in negotiations for this IP a few years back to the point where he asked if I was possibly interested in writing for it. This was before the film came out. I'm not sure what happened, but I'll bet the asking price was far, far, below $100K.

As i expect all but a couple of IPs mentioned in this thread are far below that figure.

Those two shows, Captain Scarlet, Thunderbirds, Stingray et al are similar enough if not vaguely in the same universe you might as well get a general Gerry Anderson license. It could be so fun. Add in the Avengers, Prisoner, Toho films (including the oddball scifi stuff that isn't Godzilla and friends) and you'd have one crazy 60s/70s scifi jam.

Not to mention one killer soundtrack.

Talking about british TV. I think the "Quatermass" series and movies would make an awesome RPG.

That'd be so excellent! I'd totally go for something like that... even more so if it wasn't a license but was instead just a very well done 'homage' to those settings. Open ended to avoid having to adhere to 'canon' and such.

I always thought that the Science Patrol in Ultraman were kind of like a Japanese mashup of Thunderbirds and U.F.O.

It was still far below $100K just before the film was released and is probably even cheaper now that the film didn't do so well at the box office.

I reckon I'd go for Dresden Files. It's got a lot of different elements to it as well as being modern. Cheesy enough to be a lot of fun with a bit of grit thrown in on the side.
