"Nobody understands you in this century unless you swear every other word. You'll find it in all the literature of the era: Jackelyn Susann, the novels of Harrold Robbins." -- Kirk
"Ah, the giants." -- Spock (Star Trek IV)

You know, why we cringe at these movies now, twenty  or thirty years in the future, there will be this whole revival movement centered around the mock camp of the early part of the century. Just like we look back at Them, The Blob, The Thing, and all those monster movies from Mid Century and go, "Oh those are classics."

I liked those horror movie classics... I resemble this assessment.

... but who cares! It's all good fun.

(bear) Hugs and (shark) kisses to you all for reaching page 7.

(seriously, anyone got anything beyond d20 modern for modern weaponry?)

Yeah, I really don't think even the cast and crew could look at this thing unironically and think of it as anything other than crap.

... no OSR compatible modern weaponry readouts at all, people?

How am I going to incorporate the awesome that is gas-powered chainsaw or 'boomstick'?

For a moment I was pretty confused, than I remembered American English.

Chainsaw: 1d8 damage, when critting with chainsaw add 2d6 to the damage (the bonus 2d6 does not double) and remove one limb (if the subject falls under 0, it's head), DM's discretion. On a To - Hit roll that's 1, the Chainsaw's chain broke due to bad contact with bone - the weapon is useless until a new chain is installed. Metal armour counts double, also constructs made out of metal will have higher AC. Metal - clad opponents increase the chance for the chain to break to 1 - 2. After 20 rounds of combat Chainsaw runs out of fuel.

Boomstick:

4d8 damage up to 10 meters, 2d8 damage up to 20 meters, 1d8 damage past, additional range penalty every 45 meters after that. 1d10 + 2 damage always when firing a shell shot, ranges 10/20/45. May choose to empty both barrels with one attack. If you reload, you may only fire again or move that round*. Foes that would be afraid of magic are also afraid of Boomstick.



*This is accounting 1 minute Old D&D rouns. Otherwise if 1round = 6 seconds or 10 seconds, reload is one round simply.

Thank you, Rincewind.

I was hoping there was 2e compliant stuff in Dragon or 3rd party product somewhere. But making it up is helpful as well, as I gotta start somewhere. I'm also going to need the Michael Bay explosion convertor, so as to roll something when all those cars' gas tanks explode.

SO YOU ARE A STAR OF MICHAEL BAY FILM AND YOU HID BEHIND A CAR?

Any turn the car suffered 5 or more damage, roll 1d20. On a roll of 11 to 20, nothing happens. On a roll of 1 through 10, the car explodes and damages everything in a ten meters circle with strength of 1d10 to 10d10, depending on the D20 value.

When your main stars are Ian Ziering and Tara Reid, you know it's a winner.

I don't really know who Ian Ziering and Tara Reid are, but I saw a funny news snippet that said Tara Reid has refused to be in Sharknado II.

You gotta have standards

My point exactly.

It was fabooo! Fire, ice, & shark! Cameos and cheesy deaths and impossible situations chasing down everybody. A totally game-able disaster world.

And to hell with their own standards! They are both in it!

Quote from: RPGPundit;672145Disturbingly, 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".

:rotfl:

I can't believe I didn't think of that.
