Yet more RPG talk.

[winneganfake]

Ideas we're definitely using/have used.

Alien invasion ala Robotech
Horror game rooted in japanese film horror, and western psychological horror/thrillers.
Communist Mecha. (On Mars!)

Ideas I need to figure out/tinker with before I could use

Steampunkish fantasy (been done to death of late it seems)
Horror-esque WWII. (Maybe as a tactical game?)
Carnivale (Not using our standard system. Something very rules-lite)
Big Trouble in Little China (Scratch that, there's so much wuxia in the RPG markets these days, I doubt I could really add anything new.)

Ideas I need to have

I have no idea- you tell me. What should I be thinking/reading/watching at this point for new inspirations?


And to clairify: No I'm not talking about picking up licensing to do games specifically based on films/movies/books/what have you- it's more for reference to the feel of what I'm looking for at this point.

I've seen two or three than fall into those lines, and I agree, they all pretty much need some serious help. Part of the issue being one of how seriously (or not seriously) they treated the "normal" side of the war itself.


As for D20 Cthulhu stuff, I'll admit, I'd like to see more of those, but I'm definitely not the person to write them- I don't know D20 well enough.

My problem has been similar. I know D20 fairly well, but I don't know the D6 system well enough to translate the die roll difficulties.
