[QUOTE="Retreater, post: 9275214, member: 42040"] I've been asked to run a game for a "May the Fourth" Star Wars Party. The host (who is relatively new to TTRPGs) commented "if only there was a Star Wars version of D&D..." I snatched up a few different systems in my game room: Star Wars d20, Star Wars Saga, Fantasy Flight Star Wars, Starfinder, and of course WEG Star Wars. We settled on WEG for simplicity. Also knowing that the game wouldn't be taken seriously, we discussed how running the game like an offshoot in the Mel Brook's Spaceballs universe would be a lot of fun. So, if you're a fan of Spaceballs, what would you like to see in an RPG experience? How would you expand the world to not just retread the world and ground of the original film? (I'm thinking about parodying more recent Sci-Fi and the prequels/sequels of Star Wars.) Another idea, from a mechanical standpoint, is thinking about how much I love the one-liners and quotes. I'm thinking about making cards that will give a benefit related to a quote. (It doesn't have to be perfectly balanced because it's just a one-shot.) "I'm My Own Best Friend" - Give yourself an aid action (+1D to a roll) "Even in the Future Nothing Works!" - A piece of technology doesn't work on the next turn. "I Said Across Her Nose ... Not UP It!!!" - Apply a -1D penalty to an enemy's blaster roll. Some of the pregen concepts... Hands Duo - International Snuggler Puke Starskipper - Pilot with Motion Sickness Pew Pew Blanks - Gun-Gun Sniper C3P-Colon - Proctologist Droid [/QUOTE]
