"v" ??

[Steve Conan Trustrum]

Has anyone ever played a game based on "V," the old mini-series from 1984, though likely updated for today?

No... and I can't even begin to think how to do it.

V was such an odd show. It had Hitchcock elements, some Call of Cthulhu elements, a bit of Star Wars, some War of the Worlds...

I'd almost think you'd need to mash d20 Modern, d20 Star Wars, and CoC to get the proper consistency. Put that in an oven and bake until little humanoid green people that wear our skins crawl out, and there you go...

Just ignore everything to do with Elizabeth. Blech, I just saw the DVDs of the series over the holidays (which is why the question sprung to mind), and I'd forgotten how much I hated the ending.

...I'd forgotten how much I hated the ending.

I don't remember...what happened at the end?

I don't remember...what happened at the end?

i don't either...but i remember Charlie and Ham!

They were trying to fly the saucer into outer space as it was set to self-destruct and blow up the Earth. Elizabeth, the rapidly aging lizard-human hybrid, grabs the controls at the last second and starts to glow, using her "alien powers" to diffuse the weapon. And the Earth is saved, tada!

In Spain we never saw the ending...

I liked that series. However, I don't consider anything after the second mini-series to be cannon. At the end of the mini-series the humans win by killing the aliens with bacteria. I liked that ending just fine.

I'm hoping that they finally release more than just the 1st movie on DVD.
