Space Balls-the Role Playing Game

There's a Star Wars RPG and a Star Trek RPG, but why aren't there any Space Balls ones. Who wouldn't love a campaign setting with a Mel Brooks played Yoda rip off or a goofy and incompetent Lord Dark Helmet.

I agree!

Actually, no I don't. I'd rather play Paranoia but YMMV ;).

And what I really came here to post about. There's a typo in your sig. A "theirs" that should be "there's". That is all. Please carry on :).
 

I agree!

No wait, no I don't; I'd have to be as funny as Mel Brooks to carry it off, and I'm not sure I'm up for it. I think it'd be a lot of fun as a one-shot, though.

Hey GBK, while you're changing your sig, it's a little big. Could you please put the {size=1} {/size} brackets around it, changing the {} to []? That'll make it smaller without changing the text. thanks!
 

Hey GBK, just so you know, the song was written by Harry McClintock back around 1910 or so, the original lyrics were... rather darker in implication.

The Auld Grump, sorry for the hijack...

*EDIT* He also wrote Hallelujah I'm a Bum and The Trusty Lariat.

I just don't think people are very interested in comedy role-playing, though I could be wrong. I know a lot of funny people, but sitting them down at a gaming table and saying "we're playing spaceballs, so be funny!" just doesn't seem like a good idea.
 


And I had a great deal of fun with Ghostbusters, Paranoia (back in print!) and Tabloid! all humorous RPGS.

Spaceballs? No, doesn't appeal to me, though you could fake it with the Starwars games. But then I didn't much like the movie either. (Young Frankenstien? Yes. Blazing Saddles? Yes. The Producers? Oh, yes. Spaceballs? I didn't get the feeling that he even liked the genre he was parodying.)

The Auld Grump, even To Be or Not to Be...
 

SANDURZ: You're needed on the bridge, sir.

HELMET: Knock on my door. Knock next time.

SANDURZ: Yes, sir.

HELMET: Did you see anything?

SANDURZ: No, sir. I didn't see you playing with
your dolls again.

HELMET: Good.
 

**twitch twitch**

Okay, choose another film by Brooks, preferably from his Perfect Trinity -- The Producers, Blazing Saddle, and Young Frankenstein. By the time he made Spaceballs, he had lost all ability to be funny... :(

(...it's okay, I'm in therapy over this one, too...)

Oh, and as for comedy rpgs, add Toon to the list! :D
