d20 Modern scenario ideas

Okay, I'm going to run one d20 Modern game and possibly play in someone's game, as I did last time. So here are the ideas I've had over the past few days. If one, some, or all of these ideas interest you, please let me know. If the powers-that-be on the board would prefer I take all responses in email, that's fine as well. Here we go:


1. Army of the Living Dead: Zombies. Ordinary folks thrown together by chance in an abandoned (farmhouse/industrial park/gym-fieldhouse). Zombies are taking over the world. One part Romero, three parts Raimi. Shake thoroughly and add lots of shotgun shells.

2. I'm Gonna Get Yo' Carwash, Mackdaddy: A tribute to 70s exploitation films of all sorts: blaxploitation (Shaft, Foxy Brown, Superfly), copsploitation (Dirty Harry movies), fu-sploitation (Bruce Lee flicks). Probably better for a Feng Shui game, but I'm willing to see how d20 Modern handles it.

3. wait... worry... who cares?: I've been working on an adaptation of the Chris Carter TV show Millennium as a d20 setting. Small group of investigators, get a sort of CoC vibe without that messy mucking about with Sanity.

4. The Suppressed Mission, Episode II: I can't stay away from the 1960s occult superspies. This would be a sequel of sorts to my adventure last time around, but maybe with totally new characters.

5. Skinny Ties and Brilliant Minds: This is a stolen idea, I will say. There was someone on these boards who was thinking about running a "modern pulp" game... a bit like Buckaroo Banzai. A bunch of guys, the best at what they do... go around, defeating evil. Set it in the 80s and you've got the perfect tribute to 80s nerd movies: Real Genius, Buckaroo Banzai, etc.

6. Your Stupid Minds.... Stupid! Stupid!: Thinking of cheesy B&W movies... an eccentric B-movie director and his crew are making one of the worst movies ever made about an alien invasion! Of course, something weeeeird happens while the director, actors, and crew are out in the woods doing their 3-day shoot. Props to Tim Burton and Johnny Depp.
To quote MST3K after that last one... What do you think, sirs?

(Again, I'm perfectly willing to receive emails on these if the thread-master deems it necessary.)

Do as you will but I think there are some benefits to having the discussions right here in the thread. People get a chance to springboard off of other people's ideas and maybe see something they would not have thought of themselves that now strikes their fancy, so to speak. It's all good, however you wish to handle it.

All right, then... d20 Modern players, fire away.

...and anyone else who wants to run a game, has decided on a system (such as one of the ones that has been mentioned), and wants to throw out some questions to the potential players, please feel free to make use of this thread.

if it's in the morning session the skinny ties game sounds like fun.

Star Wars Iconics...

I have a Star Wars adventure all ready to go that I could run entitled "For the Love of..."

It would use 4-6 of the 3rd-level Star Wars Iconic characters (as pre-generated by the Star Wars Iconics themselves), back before they got into so much trouble during the Battle of Naboo.

It is a little more light-hearted, and less serious adventure. A Romeo and Juliet story of sorts.

If anyone is interested, I could run it in whatever slot the local Star Warriors deem most convenient.

Re: Star Wars Iconics...

I have a Star Wars adventure (snip)

Sounds like a winner!

I'm looking forward to seeing how many games get proposed and how much they might change from proposal to gameday...

Mark,

I can't seem to pull up any information on the links provided right now, other than a rough schedule of session times noted by Matty. I'll keep checking in for player sign up options in the coming days.

Oh yes. We're developing the schedule right now, so there are no games completely set yet. Take a look through this thread for games being offered by DMs and suggested games from players and throw your two cents in. I've updated the first post in this thread to reflect what is currently happening here.

Well, not many GMs have come forward... :/ Perhaps the first post could be updated to include
a) a list of the suggested games pulled from the other post
b) a list of GMs and their game of choice

Think that would help us know whats going on.

I'd volunteer, but no one was interested in WEG SW it seems. May have to consider playin the d20 SW....
