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!

Quote from: jeff37923;671265Dude, you could totally do a game of Maid in the sharknado with the Players being Maid sharks trying to keep the Master tornado pleased! :D

A more typical Sharknado scenario for Maid would no doubt revolve around a random event chart of different shark-related incidents which disrupt the peace of the mansion and threaten the life of the master.
Previously known by the name of "GrimGent".

You know, people keep comparing non-TSR D&D to deck-building in Magic: the Gathering. But maybe it\'s more like Katamari Damacy. You keep sticking shit on your characters until they are big enough to be a star.

Funny you should say that...
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."

Ghost Shark, by SyFy... /single tear or joy

There is a God, and He (Zhe :p) works in mysterious ways.

Now I may create my gothic lolita shark in peace. It'll be a crossover of The House of Usher and Jabbermouth. And then when I run it at a convention the world will end in a fading television signal event horizon and the eternal primal scream.

You're welcome,
:hatsoff:

Sounds like a perfect material for a storygame.
Furthermore, I consider that  This is Why We Don\'t Like You thread should be closed

Okay, I have been trying to mentally block out Sharknado... but something bubbled out of my subconscious.   (Okay, clawed its way out....)

It already has a setting.  

Damnation Decade:
For those that do not know:  http://greenroninstore.com/products/damnation-decade-pdf

All those enviromental/ animal disaster films of the 70s fit perfectly in this setting.  Once I thought about it, most of the Sci-Fi movies about mutant/genetically modified animals becoming monsters would fit perfectly in this setting.

When is the SyFy going to do Sharknado vs Mansquito?

Disturbingly, the word "sharknado" would make more sense and be less stupid in spanish than in english.
In spanish, "shark" is "Tiburon".
Tornado is still "Tornado".

So a sharknado would be a "Tiburnado".

Even the the "cutting edge" storygamers for all their talk of narrative, plot, and drama are fucking obsessed with the god damned rules they use. - Estar

I can't be sure whether you can or not; I have yet to meet anyone who has... the two options I am sure exist are "can enjoy watching them ironically" or "can't enjoy watching them".
