Alright ...I'm in the mood to run a silly & light-hearted introductory game session.  (Actually I'm not.....I'm miserable, but I want to do something fun and silly to snap myself out of it)

Something I could run with either SAVAGE WORLDS or GURPS rules.

Think Zombies, or maybe cowboys....or even lovesick killer robots that collect baseball cards...

 How about toy dinosaurs used with miniatures on the table with regular 25-28mm figures?

I have the "MALL OF THE DEAD" miniatures map from SJ games and also the Mad Scientist Silo base headquarters map - this would give me a good excuse to put either one on a good chunk of cardboard to use with minis in combat scenes.

Any suggestions/

 The sillier and wilder the better.

Keep in mind I may be running this at my store , at a mall ...so it probably has to be somewhat PG-rated or even a tad family friendly. (Well, families that might watch Monty Python & DOCTOR WHO together - that kind of family)

The rampaging dinosaurs get sappy at Elvis movie one-liners.

I suggest looking over the 100+ free One Shots available for Savage Worlds.

(Many are silly/light-hearted and others can be "spun" that way.)

How about zombies who, when confronted, threaten the character with suing them for "racism against post-living americans", and get smart-assed about stuff, like "at least I'm stiff if I need to". The whole thing can be caused by a Viagra-related accident... again, stiff-maker, get it? And the players may end up defending the zombies against a Ku Klux Klan-style squad from McDonalds (stripe-shirted and red-wigged) that's trying to prevent the development of a non-eating market...

That IS silly enough. Not sure if playable, though.

Hehe, I loved the "post-living american" thing, if I say so myself. Might end up running this thing sometime...

So, did you find something?

Still thinking about it or working on it.

Also, still feeling miserable.

Hopefully, if I run this 'whatever-it-is' it will be around the 1st or 2nd week of February.

So far, I'm leaning toward using the MALL OF THE DEAD map from SJ Games, having a LOT of pre-generated characters on hand with matching minis.  Also, going to buy a bag of zombies that are meant for Twilight Creations game ZOMBIES!! since they are pretty close to 25mm scale.

How bad is my mood? The cute 20 year old young lady regular store customer that is an admitted STAR TREK fan and says she voted for John McCain  - even chatting with her couldn't put a dent in mybummed out/ depressed mood.

Okay, Ed, go get your copy of GURPS IOU.  Ready?

Okay.  Your PCs are students in a Silly game.  They get up one morning to discover that the co-ed bathroom on their dorm floor is completely inaccessible -- hundreds of books inside the bathroom block them from opening the door.  Inside one of the stalls is Great Splooshooloo Who-Sits-Reading, tossing books over the door as he finishes them.  Spotting the PCs, he makes his demand: He will occupy the bathroom, and destroy a bathroom on campus once every hour on the hour, until he is brought the University's sole copy of the darkest, vilest, most repugnant book in the multiverse...

...the Necrodonkikong.

To top it off, the PCs have a serious midterm project to complete.  Each couple of PCs is assigned (by a professor) a weird alien gizmo with buttons and dials and crap on it, and they have to experiment with it, observe their findings and determine the function of the damn thing.  And they have to do it by the end of the day.

Effectively, this will tear the PCs in two directions, chasing after two spastic rabbits...and it gives you, the GM, plenty of excuses to use that nifty Alien Device Button-Pushing Chart, and a reason to have pantsless college students run by every once in a while, screaming in pain, with shards of American Standard sticking out of their bodies.

Have fun.

Wow, thats is ..... different Dr ..... and silly .

...Necrodonkikong?

Gotta be a gorilla tossing barrels somewhere.

When I ran it nearly 10 years ago, it was hilarious.  And all I had to do was say "Necrodonkikong"!

Yeah, but kids these days may not even know what you're talking about.

Narf, why you gotta be so difficult?  You wanna fight?  C'mon, jackwad, let's see what you got!

I rolled a 3.

16! Take that!
