Saw the movie last night and couldn't help but think it's a great example of how a GM could mix different genres together in a RPG and have it believable. Whether you've seen the movie or not the premise, which is how the movie is presented, is that everything we're seeing is mainly from one character's point of view (although it's a crazed mind perspective) which is awesome. It allows for so much stretching of standard boundaries that if used in a game a GM could effectively mix any genre into their game and be completely justified since the believability is based on character perspective and not the actual world they live in. I think it also allows the game to become group controlled more since the characters each have a view point which could be explored, allowing each player to take control and run the game as they reveal how their character sees things. It would make for an awesome game system and I'd love to see someone design one along these lines. If not one could easily use BESM, Gurps, or Rifts just focusing on point of view instead of standard game world. Thoughts?
