 November 15, 2011 - 2:26pm | On a post apocalyptic world setting an NPC enlists the PC's to help him finish his father's life's work. Repair of a large to giant robot. PC's have adventures gathering missing components. It turns out though that the reason the father did not finish it is that he realized that it was left by the aliens that destroyed the world's society. When the bot wakes up it reboots the program to destroy the world. Note: I thought this Idea up after driving by a Hugo movie billboard though I have no clue what the actual plot of Hugo is. My plot probably makes for a better RPG adventure. I might not be a dralasite, vrusk or yazirian but I do play one in Star Frontiers! |

Although your plot is close to Iron Giant but I like the campaign to find missing parts part since you can send them anywhere but they can choose the way to go kinda sandbox it. Sounds like a great job but where did you say we had to go? |

Hey, I am an idea whore, I take material from everywhere. In fact when I was at the medical school letting the students practice on my teeth so I could get a low budget root canal, I was asking myself, "What would happen if an alien showed up here for treatment?"I might not be a dralasite, vrusk or yazirian but I do play one in Star Frontiers! |
November 29, 2011 - 6:58am | Understood I carry index cards with me to write down weird thoughts as they come through my head (and while I am scanning movie choices on Netflix). Still looking at 1940s and 1950s movies for unique ideas. Sounds like a great job but where did you say we had to go? |
 November 29, 2011 - 7:14pm | Han Solo and the Lost Legacy, good inspiration for this idea. |
November 30, 2011 - 12:26pm | Let us never speak of Star Wars and original ideas in the same universe again. Star Wars was and is the Platinum Standard of stolen ideas. Star Wars = Wizard, Evil Wizard, Princess, Rogue, Side Kick, Comic Pair and Naive Young Kid with a Legacy subtract horses and England add spaceships and blasters. Sounds like a great job but where did you say we had to go? |

Stolen or recycled I still paid money to watch it more than once.Star Wars = Wizard, Evil Wizard, Princess, Rogue, Side Kick, Comic Pair and Naive Young Kid with a Legacy subtract horses and England add spaceships and blasters.

November 30, 2011 - 8:25pm | "hanging head in shame" Yes I feel your pain. I actually caught the first showing at midnight when Chapter V The Empire Strikes Back came out. But we were seriously hurting for Sci-Fi in those days. No DVDs, limited VCR not even an internet really set up to connect with. Sounds like a great job but where did you say we had to go? |

But we were seriously hurting for Sci-Fi in those days. No DVDs, limited VCR not even an internet really set up to connect with. Are you kidding me? the internet was private in those days, it didn't go fully commercial till 1995. And since I'm usually 5 years behind on new tech it took me till 2000 to have a computer connected to the internet. But you are right there was a time when we felt like a junky jonesing for a Sci-fi fix and any Sci-fi was acceptable. Even reruns of Star Trek that you'd seen 100 times, The second series of BSG (when they got to earth) which was just terrible and even had a Nazi episode like other Sci-fi shows that saved money on writers (cough> Star Trek). Jason of Star Command, Space 1999 and Buck Rogers stand out as Sci-fi fixes that got me by but watching them now I wonder at that. Some of them started strong but the writing went down hill and then the show was cancelled. Hhhmmm... I dont think I personally owned a VCR till the 2000s which was just in time to need to upgrade to DVD. Now we have this new fangled Blue Ray and I doubt I'll own one for another 4-5 years. My mother still owns our Sear nock off of the Attari! Are we more critical of Sci-fi because we have greater access to it now? I might not be a dralasite, vrusk or yazirian but I do play one in Star Frontiers! |
December 1, 2011 - 10:11am | General opinion is don't waste your money on Blu-Ray. They are still making regular DVDs and by the time Blu-Ray becomes fully THE SYSTEM we will all be switching to some kind of streaming video accounts or something like MP3 player devices which store all our saved movies. The way memory keeps expanding it might be tomorrow. Sounds like a great job but where did you say we had to go? |
