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.

Happy Thanksgiving (US Edition)!

Hope everyone has a great day of overeating, drinking to excess, and yelling at overpaid guys in plastic armor beating each other senseless over a little leather ball.

Anyone have Thanksgiving ideas for RPGs?

Ed, at Two Hour Wargames did a turkey hunt game for Thanksgiving a few years back.

I could certainly see a fun, if not at all politically correct, scenario involving Pilgrims, pirates, Red Indians, a giant turkey, mayhem etc, all in the vein of Peter Pan.  Using something light hearted and silly for rules.

I'm thankful for Paizo and the latest incarnation of the one true system of D&D.

It wouldn't take much to give the classic Gamma World adventure Famine in Fargo a Thanksgiving twist. Just swap Gallus Gallus with Turkus Turkus.
New! Cyberblues City - like cyberpunk, only more mellow. Free, fully illustrated roleplaying game based on the Fudge system
Bounty Hunters of the Atomic Wastelands, a post-apocalyptic western game based on Fate. It\'s simple, it\'s free and it\'s in colour!

The classic, somewhat referenced above, is Indians summoning a giant turkey to devour pilgrims. You just can't lose with that one.

It might be fun to do a Space:1889 version, with American colonists sharing the tradition with High Martians. That could get out of hand pretty quickly, I believe.

Oblivious Gamer: I like to play games: wargames, role-playing games.

OG: Jesus, what was he playing? Rifts?

Happy Thanksgiving to our southern neighbors.
The main problem with government is the difficulty of pressing charges against its directors.

Given a choice of two out of three M&Ms, the human brain subconsciously tries to justify the two M&Ms chosen as being superior to the M&M not chosen.

Late to the thread.... hope everyone had a great holiday!

I never want to see a Pecan Pie again. :o
