[QUOTE="JPL, post: 1589809, member: 1964"] I like that. And it reminds me of another unjustly neglected genre...STUNTPUNK. Characteristics: The adventures of stuntmen / daredevils doing daring deeds of derring-do, both for Hollywood/giant stadiums of screaming adrenaline junkies, and in the furtherance of real-life adventures. As in TEAMPUNK, it's all about providing a plot where the deed of athleticism and derring-do becomes essential. Very cinematic --- anything that would look good in a movie --- pre-CGI! --- is fair game for the PCs Examples: "The Fall Guy," the old Hanna-Barbara cartoon "Devlin", the seventies Marvel Comic "The Human Fly." Jackie Chan movies are great inspiration too --- just imagine a campaign where the heroes are members of a "Jackie Chan Stunt Team"-type organization, and do action movie stunts in Hong Kong and L.A. You got your martial arts, your crazy stunts, and potential for big-city private eye-type adventures. [Someone call Ray Park and Russell Wong --- I think I got a pitch for a TV show here. Sounds like the perfect thing for Saturday afternoons on WGN.] [/QUOTE]
