[QUOTE="Greg K, post: 4030075, member: 5038"] Part of the problem is that most action/drama shows have only one two true protagonists. What shows do we have as sample for team games in modern era (for purposes of the discussion, I am including those suitable for d20 Future and Westerns? I have listed those that I can think of below. In some instances I could not think TV series (which I think is the closest thing to an ongoing campaign) so I resorted to movies as examples. Also, many of the examples are pushing it, because all of the characters are usually not together at the same, but are split up with thier own different storylines. Furthermore, in some instances, many of the characters are support characters rather than on equal footing with the major protagonist which most players will not accept with their PCs. Alien Invasion: -- Threshold (based weakily on memory of one episode)? -- V Bughunters: (went to movies for this) -- Aliens -- Species Bodyguards (wasn't sure what to classiffy this as): --VIP Cop Drama: -- Hill Street Blues -- Law and Order: SVU Crime/Heist (went to movies since I have never seen The Sopranos and don't know if it would fit) -- Ocean's Eleven -- Italian Job Detective/P.I. Espionage -- Mission Impossible -- MI-5 Horror/ Supernatural: -- Angel -- Buffy (pushing it in my opinion for most of both series) -- Charmed (3 main characters is approaching the party size of the 4 or 5 member gaming group) -- Special Unit 2 ( again 3 main characters (if we include the gnome dude) is approaching the party size of the 4 or 5 member gaming group) Lost World -- The Lost World Post Apocalypse Problem Solver -- A-Team Space: -- Babylon 5 -- Battlestar Galactica -- Firefly -- Star Trek (the various series) Space Fantasy (ok I could only think one movie series) -- Star Wars Sci-fi other -- SeaQuest -- Torchwood Western: -- Bonanza, -- Deadwood -- Lonesome Dove -- Silverado Other -- Lost If we push the boundaries for what to use the game for: CSI: The CSI shows Medical: House [/QUOTE]
