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!

I am already prepping a Sharknado adventure for my next convention!  

I am contemplating making it a Rifts adventure as such epic insanity as Sharknado deserves an equally epicly insane system.

Good call.

Good choice.

Hell, it almost works in the setting too.
Remember when Illinois Nazis where a joke in the Blue Brothers movie?

Sharknado needs a burial, not a setting.

Which is part of why I think it needs to be D20 Modern.

Flash Gordon would own Sharknado.

Yeah, but Sharknado would be one of Emperor Ming's weapons to use.

I can imagine myself saying that during a pulp game, when RPing a villain.


Alongside perhaps "UNLEASH THE BUFFALONAMI!"
Furthermore, I consider that  This is Why We Don\'t Like You thread should be closed

OK, now I'm suffering analysis paralysis from the sheer potential joy.

I mean, Z-grade disaster movie schlock is wonderful, and a whole one-shot campaign on its own.

But the idea of Sci-Fi villain, like Emperor Ming, "unleashing the sharknado!" is far too precious to leave alone. Makes me want to run a four-colors Flash Gordon game real bad.

However, after reading misterguignol's blog (of much entertaining value) and re-reading gothic tropes in his Tale of the Grotesque and Dungeonesque, I'm really thinking of exploring something truly bizarre...

I have 13 major Gothic trends with which to explore the natural terror and horror of the sharknado. It is awe inspiring, bending one's sanity while at the same time rife with the chum of gore and viscera. Of course, Seaside Gothic might superficially be easiest, but Southern and High Gothic paw at me with cloying cruelty of their impossibility.
