[QUOTE="Pagan priest, post: 527344, member: 7650"] Someday I hope to learn that my humor does not carry over into message boards. Yes I have seen a few episodes of SG-1. A friend with a VCR showed me the first few shows from the first season. A couple of the local libraries have a video tape or two as well. Where I live there is no television reception and cable is an overpriced monopoly, so I have not seen the majority of the show, or any show for that matter... Now, back to the topic at hand. I would like to state the obvious, to any publishers reading this, there are some great ideas getting tossed out here, stuff just begging to be written. Re: Mission Impossible. Isn't that what Shadowforce Archer is about? while name recognition is good, just how many spy technthrilers can the market support? Re: Babylon 5. While I love games of diplomacy and intrigue, most of the gamers I know need a chance to kick butt now and then, and if the game is set on B5 itself, the security forces are the only folks who really get the chance to do the kicking. A game set during the war would require dragging armies and fleets into the game, even if the PC's are some type of elite team. I would certainly take a good long look at a B5-D20 game, and if I could rally some support in my gaming group, I would want it. Re: Stargate SG-1. Once I saw a couple of episodes I realized that this show was a game waiting to be played. From the GM's perspective, you get to order the team into what ever situation you want to devise. If the party manages to accuire some overly powerful nifty toy, the government takes it away for study. Want to go weird with the campaign? Assume that the folks pretending to be ancient Egyptian Gods really are ancient Egyptian Gods, and use the stats from Dieties and Demigods! Some of the other things mentioned do have problems with things like a narrow focus. I think this is the biggest problem with Dune. Solve that, and it could be a good game. :eek: It just came to me! :eek: I think I know just what this is! There is a show that has not been mentioned, but it has a theatrical released movie. It is not pure science fiction, but elements of SF do appear from time to time. Be afraid. Be very afraid. That show is... :eek: South Park! [/QUOTE]
