Genre-Blending games

[Dannyalcatraz]

Ok, I'm bored and I got to thinking...there are some good games out there that manage to successfully meld 2 or more genres into a single package. Shadowrun combines cyberpunk and fantasy, Deadlands combos fantasy with westerns, Paranoia melds comedy with sci-fi...

But there are a lot of genres out there that have yet to have a successful cross-genre game designed for them- a void we should not let stand!

So, I start this thread to archive combos that haven't been seen yet (at least not on a large scale), possibly to stimulate the designers out there.

Murder Mystery + Lovecraftian Horror = Call of Cluethulhu

CCG + Gambling = Texas Hold 'Em Pokermon

Far future Giant Robot Anime + Urban Street life = GammaPimp3000 (or MechPlaya)

 

[Remathilis]

Space Opera + comedy = Spaceballs: The RPG

Real-Time Computer Strategy Wargame + Urban Street Life RPG = World of Hocraft

First Person Shooter + Hollywood B-Movie Starlet RPG = Unreal Quake

 

[Herobizkit]

Cowboys, Mecha, and the Deep Jungles of the Amazon: The Wild Wild Wild Wild West.

D20 + House Remodeling Shows + Feng Shui = Ornamental Adventures

LARP + Reality TV show (Starring Keanu Reeves as Hennet) = Sorcerer's Apprentice
