Books that Shan't be read together

[Twiggly the Gnome]

So, what RPF books do you find that fit together in a very odd yet cool way??? Or just should not be combined at all??

I always wanted to run a game that combined Shadowrun and Underground.

Big Eyes, Small Mouth & Legend of the 5 rings

Considering BESM covers anime, and L5R features a pseudo-Japan with samurai, ninja and nasty, nasty demons, I think that could work somehow. Especially since samurai stuff goes really well with anime, if Rurouni Kenshin, Ninja Scroll, and others are any indication.

 

[Tyler Do'Urden]

Call of Cthulhu and Book of Erotic Fantasy.

That's getting uncomfortably close to La Blue Girl: The RPG ...

Why am I suddenly reminded of Drawn Together*

*I know why, but for Eric's Grandmother sake, I'm not saying

That crossed my mind - I also thought of this...

Yeah but BESM tends towards the fluffier end of anime. It would be like Rodger Rabbit and the Seven Samurai.

Not a book combo, but I think the basis of Paranoia would make a great MMORPG.

How about Paranoia and Call of Cthulu?

I played in a scenario called "The Call of Cth-U-LOO" at a convention many years ago. It actually turned out really well (by Paranoia and CoC standards, at least).

My nomination is 2300 AD and Rifts. Bit of a clash in styles, there.

Call of Cthulhu and Book of Erotic Fantasy.

Can you say . . . Legend of the Overfiend ! ! !

How about the bastard child campagin of CoC and Wot that my fellow players and I suffered through for a YEAR?

...

actually, it was pretty good. We knew which evil faction we were fighting depending on the type of horrors we were facing.
