Incline Survey - Most Compelling RPG Concept & Setting Not Yet Attempted

I’ll buy Willow at the local store on DVD instead. It is about time I watched that.

We’re on Redbox, I dunno if just their streaming or DVD ops as well.

You can probably torrent it

the only movie tracker that has it is PTP, and that's the most prestigious one for hardcore movie fans. a whopping 5 seeders

Tubi is easier than torrenting.

Tubi is the fastest growing and most profitable streaming platform because it doesn’t require registration to watch - just tolerating some ad breaks.

About 10% - 16% of our rev comes from Tubi so far — depends on the month. Amazon beat Tubi in December, but Tubi beat Amazon in all other months so far — which makes sense to me from a distro POV since, as mentioned above, you can just watch it with a URL on Tubi, and don’t need an account or any form of active payment or even active behavior.

Or put another way, if you don’t mind the minutes of ads, it’s easier to watch it on Tubi than to pirate it or watch it on YouTube (because it’s rated R you would have to log into YouTube).

if I was a movie buff I'd watch it, but I don't think I would appreciate a "cult classic" like that

 

[Zombra]

That was a nice thread we had once

I’m not here to market the movie. That’s someone else’s job.

the thread is still about the question — I didn’t bring up the off topic stuff about me — though I will respond to it since it’s about me

Critics hate me.

But I’ve sold some games.

And I know dialog.

But I don’t reject the concept of an absurdist gonzo take on any subject matter in any genre — Malibu Road embraces the Hunter S. Thompson gonzo aesthetic, and for an audience that likes that it is very compelling. The movie has over a million unique audience and is one of the highest rated movies about the CIA in history (and the highest rated independent movie about the CIA).

CIA’s media affairs department loves it — they watched it a couple years before anyone else and had no requests or notes.

They Live RPG

This is a great idea and we talked about it but other things did supplant the idea of engaging the IP, specifically The Thing, Taxi Driver, Chinatown. Apocalypse Now, JFK, and Halloween.

John Carpenter being an obvious commonality.

We would do anything you made is not a pitch.

We would do these things and here is our specific take on it as a game is a pitch. You have to choose.

I would have engaged with De Palma but he was massively disinterested in video games, regardless of money.

There are some Tom Cruise / PAR things I thought might work — but Scientology was always a thing that PAR preferred to avoid.

I have a idea of a pretty dark transistor punk setting. The world is shit with constant violence, people are obligated to give a huge portion of its income, far more than any empire ever asked for its subjects and all that they get in return is ridiculous regulations and stupid laws. There are no freedom of expression, merely quoting the dictionary definition of woman can be a "hate crime" and the government don't care about real crimes, only about victmless crimes, crimes of opinion and people who defend themselves. There are also a caste system. Certain groups get preferential treatment and can openly discriminate but not be discriminated, "wasp" are in the bottom of the caste system. Other groups can burn entire cities to the ground consequence free.

The most popular religion in this setting is equality cultism. A religion which preaches that everyone is the same and at the same time paradoxically oppressed and oppressor based in arbitrary characteristics which changes a lot with the time. That religion killed hundreds of millions of people and mutated into new forms to keep the endless killing. Due this religion, people are obligated to be subject to mass human experiments with drugs which the drug makers lie about its proprieties. Also are being forced to eat insects and live in extremely small crowded apartments with lot of pollution. People can't own anything, almost everyone is debt enslaved by big corporations and live on drugs to not kill themselves.

I'd love to see a generations-spanning political intrigue RPG centered around the Romanov dynasty, but I'll take anything that doesn't involve saving the goddamn world for the thousandth time.

 

[Vic]

how about an RPG where you destroy the world, but the game gives you such good motives to do it that it really becomes a good choice, and then in the end it turns out you are a shizo and the person you trusted and who ultimately convinced you to destroy the world was just in your head.

From a certain point of view I would say this have been explored already "First-person hybrid RPG in which you play a member of a terror cell planning and executing attacks"
