Cyberpunk, haven´t seen this in quite a while . . . well it is more of DarkFuture these days, isn´t it? The idea behind Cyberpunk has become too much of our reality, I guess.

I declare a state of emergency in this thread.
There isn't enough creativity!

Steer us in the right direction, man. We don't really have anything to talk about.

But the problem is, where do you want to be steered? I've given you topics, but none have sparked much interest. I'm wondering what it is the populace wants to talk about.

We could talk about RPGs based on video game franchises.
I've always thought a well-done RPG where the players can play as any character from any Final Fantasy game would be cool.

I have dreamed about an Half-Life RPG, board-wise or pen&paper forever . . . but never really made it . . .

Half-Life is one of the many classic video games that I've never played. I'm going to pick up the sequel on the Xbox eventually.

It's a very fun game, and the trusty crowbar is the greatest video game weapon ever.

Yeah, sure it´s a classic. Half Lige 2 would be the greatest Action-Movie ever, if it was actually a movie. Which it is not. And it always had good characters . . .
I was originally intruiged by the idea of having Part One an RP.
Half Life: Escape from Black Mesa
. . . that was it´s title. Portraying the escape of other Scientists than Gordon Freeman. With him probably meeting them . . . a short up to 600 posts game. Tensed, densed and thrilling.
And of course it could have endless sequels, that portray how the word turned into what we saw in Half-Life2. I liked the idea, wanted to really adapt it from an action game into something creepier, more personal. One player could have a family in a whole different part of the Black Mesa Complex and trying to reach them. Others could be wounded, needing medical attention. And by reaching the med-bay on their level discover horrible things happening there . . . and so on . . .
I never did it, truly. But actually I guess this would be a better discussion for the RPF-Introduction threat, wouldnßt it?
My point here is, after all . . . like movie adaptions, RP adaptions could be interesting of games that are not "perfectly fitting to be adopted".

I'm willing to bet a lot of e-money that once Mass Effect hits shelves and I've beaten it, I'll have plenty of ideas for an RPG based on it. That game will be the video game equivalent of Star Wars.

Pfft. The Keyblade > any other video game weapon. The Lancer from Gears of War is overrated. I rarely used that chainsaw, and when I did, it hardly impressed me.

I think that a Half-Life RPG could work, provided that some of the tenets currently being discussed in the GDG are observed.
You'd need to avoid godlike characters - especially considering the fact that Freeman and a select few people were able to survive.

Yeah, actually I have played with this idea long before I began doing RP in english. I think it would have worked out fine, but I missed the right point to start HL: Escape
I planned to give all players only two options. Player a low-level security guard with some security background but no special things or a scientst or related family. No military guys (if you remeber the game they were the bad guys, among many) and no special people.
Start the game far away from Gordon Freeman and show how people got to the surface. With head-crawler, vortigaunts and some new beasts blocking their way and an army on a "burn and leave nothing to tell about it"-mission . . .
But Sentinels "Zombie-Game" will probably be much to similar. Killed my idea, sort of . . .
