Re: Wanted: Something funny and light hearted
It'd depend on a) work easing up a bit and b) other players being interested, but I was halfway considering running something short and silly in honour of the season.
Due warning here that I'm primarily a horror GM*, so if the potential for ridiculous ceiling-splattering *ahem* ketchup accidents and/or possibly being devoured with or without 'OMNOMNOMNOMNOM' sound effects is never ever funny to you then don't worry about my suggestions at all. </Disclaimer>
The ideas I was playing with, should you be at all interested:
- Shennanigans when a group of LARPers in a small US town wind up accidentally including some (very confused) actual vampires in their Vampire game, using Fangs & Fakery, a hack of the super-simple Lasers & Freelings I found whilst wandering the internet.
- Finishing a set of comedy-horror using a PBP hack for Dread, probably based on Stomping Tom Connor's Sasquatch Song though I'd need a free moment or so to hammer the skeleton of a plot into something that could lurch about with a semblance of sucess.
- Extremely dumb B-movie-style slasher/creature feature using Dread again or possibly something more complex. Vaguest idea but I'm pretty sure I could pull it off if there was sufficient interest. Funny because old-timey horror comic cheese moon logic/mechanic rewarding satisfaction of other goals above survival.
*at General or Mature level, to avoid a laziness-induced slide from horror to boring old on-the-news horrible. I am all about the equal-opportunities axe, fangs or wood chipper.
