Unusual Genres

[Mad Dr Jeffe]

I was thinking, a lot of genres dont get any love from game designers, like Gangland or Noir style games for example. Why cant 1920's Chi town be just as good a setting as Greyhawk or Rifts earth. So what unusual Genres would you like to see?

Well, I crave weird mixes.

Take one of my homebrew settings I've tinkered with over the years.

Desperation: 1948 - A post-apocalyptic pulp-action horror game set with a technology level of the early 1930's.

Interesting, I was always interested in a post apocylptic 1950's game, ... kind of like Alas Babylon...

That or a South Seas pulp adventure where everyone is a pilot of some kind with a vintage seaplane or aircraft.

But Maybe its cause I watched this show too much... http://www.goldmonkey.com/pics/tvguide.jpg

i actually made stats for all the Ducktails and Tale Spin characters in TMNT once. To be honest, Tale Spin has one of the coolest settings i've EVER seen on a TV show.

Tale Spin was an amazing setting. Would make a really cool RPG setting too, but would probably get botched.

I think something in that vein would be great to see.

Hey, I did a Tail Spin version of TMNT too. I have no idea where it is, but something like that would be cool.

[Spriggan]

That would defintaly be a cool After the Bomb custom TWG setting, though I think that actualy useing Tailspin would be restrictive since I all know we like to do our own thing and not stick to certain settings.

[Nicadymus]

It would certainly be an interesting twist, but I agree that there would have to be some expansion to the world.

[The Holy Saint, Grand High Poobah, Master of Monkeys, Ehlers]

my stats incorporated Tale Spin and Duck Tails (complete with the Justice Ducks) into one setting. That made it a combo pulp-era airplanes/superheroes setting. Pretty cool.

[Nicadymus]

That definitely has some potential.  Did you include the air pirates from Tail spin as NPC villans?

[The Holy Saint, Grand High Poobah, Master of Monkeys, Ehlers]

THat was the plan. I hadn't statted them all though. I did, however, stat the Panda-La invaders and a number of the Duck Tales bad guys.

Oh, and St. Canard (Darkwing Duck's home) main personalities. I just made the entire Disney Afternoon one persistant setting.

[Nicadymus]

Darkwing Duck, too.  I'm impressed.

[JP Dogberry]

I barely recall Tail Spin, but from the little I do, it would make an excellent setting.

Maybe I should turn the lego universe my friend and I made up to play lego with into a setting. It featured a spaceman who piloted a cargo plane, the staff of the airport, and the love interest with magic powers.

heck yeah!
