Spin-off from the Celebrity-Setting match thread

Can anyone think of any game that couldn't be improved by the addition of the original Man in Black?

If it´s a good game, it´ll be a perfect match.

If it´s a bad match, it must be a bad game.

could easily see "The Man in Black" as an Unknown Armies archetype...a wandering minstrel who foretells of the angry wrath of one diety or another. (the "spiritual CNN of Country Music", as it were...)

If Johnny Cash doesn't improve your game - and Mr. Cash has covered a wide variety of music - then you're playing wrong.

He improved The Simpsons, he can improve damn near anything else.

I almost wrote "except mecha games" until the image of Johnny, staring balefully down on me from a glittering robotic space dragon, entered my brain and kicked its ass.

So what games could we add johnny cash to?

I suppose he could be in THS as an eidolon, hell they more or less did that with elvis and man, as far as I'm concerned elvis wasn't fit to polish johnny cash's boots. (STFU, elvis fhans, no one wants to hear from you. Go fuck your cousins and make more inbreds.)

I suppose he could be in Rifts, depending on the time period.

Call of cthulhu in the cthulhu now time, sure.

Indeed not.
 
"God's Gonna Cut You Down" is on the soundtrack for my Rifts game.  I'm a big Cash fan, anyways.

I got "personal file" for christmas, I can heartily recommend thaat album.
Better than "unearthed", with introes to the songs, he tells why they are important to him.

Huh?

What´s it with this "gamer" poison?
Why the hate?

What is a gamer, anyhow?

I know I could be asking for you to stretch the limits of realism, but it is possible, no matter how astronomically small, that someone, say me for example, is old enough to have been a listener of Johnny Cash, even before said person touched a RPG in their life.

Impossible...I know.
 
Carry on.

Not at all, my good man. Any particular person may have been a fan since childhood. It just seems that one day he's a singer and the next he's an urban legend.

I've never been a big fan myself. Some good songs, some really shitty ones.

Would you agree that most people posting here will identify as a 'gamer'?

Anyway, it's an observation without rancour, directed mainly at the urge to fetishize a real person. Man in Black – ooo, I think I'm getting wet.
