OgreNoah posted:So are there any Kickstarters up right now that don't look like poo poo? I try to follow this thread but it's about 100% complaining (rightfully) about awful games. Liminal RPG cropped up on my radar recently. Looks to be a compact urban fantasy RPG in the vein of Rivers of London and Dresden Files and whatnot. The mechanics are simple and nothing to write home about (2d6 + Skill + notFeats vs Target Number) but the overall pitch seems like it's got enough focus that I'm still interested.

FirstAidKite posted:Are there any board games out there that did what stuff like League of Extraordinary Gentlemen and Code Name S.T.E.A.M. did and made a game out of playing as public domain characters teaming up to fight off evil? Rise of Moloch seems like the closest fit. It's not even out yet so I don't know if it's good.

Mode 7 posted:I have no idea how this would work but gently caress it, I'd like to see it. Could work as very clunky sort of clockpunk, based on stuff like the antikythera mechanism. Very big, chunky gear mechanisms, possibly even muscle powered. Talos-style mecha who are "wound up" manually by slaves before being sent out. Trojan Horse wasn't a trick, it was a war machine full of burly greeks working huge wheels to make it run. Final boss is the Colossus of Rhodes.

Max Headroom, what sort of -punk was that? Blank Reg was a literal punk of course. The computers all had tiny monitors and weird 1960s typewriters for keyboards, it was intentionally retrofuture even in the 1980s when it came out, except of course for Max himself being artificial AI, and it's set in a society that looks really grungy etc. The corporate control, lack of strong government, societal decay, and rebellion and the consequences of it, were all central themes.

I think we've circled back round to Cyberpunk, those are basically the same themes.

Hackers is extremely modempunk and rad as hell. Alien is spacecrtpunk. Max Headroom is either modempunk, cyberpunk, or piratebroadcastpunk.

I want a martial arts punk thing where instead of learning secret techniques from some old sage, the protagonist instead just buys a gun, from the gun store.

Instead of a training montage, you just see the protagonist doing goofy poo poo like getting ice cream or going to theme parks. And at the end, he just goes to Al's Shotgun Hut, buys a shotgun off the rack, and then guns down the main villain who was unarmed.

One of the later Death Wish movies is basically that. Charles Bronson moves to a crime infested neighborhood, so he mail orders a gun. What follows after it arrives is poo poo like, he walks around carrying an expensive camera, a guy runs up and grabs it and runs away, Bronson slowly takes out his gun, lines up the shot, and kills the guy. And then walks off, leaving the dead guy and the camera lying in the street.

E: Which is quite the tangent, so let's leave it at that.

Thranguy posted:I like the old GURPS usage of -prep as the opposite of -punk along the political tone/technological optimism axis. Yeah, I liked the alternate notion of "what if cybernetics and the net made things better instead of dehumanizing society"? Though it kind of ends up sounding like the shallow end of the steampunk pool, it at least avoids a lot of the historical context that makes it too often distasteful. Which makes me think that would be an interesting take on the shallow steampunk setting as well, a setting where the discovery of some technology turns countries away from colonialism and the like and pushes social evolution forward more quickly, but I suppose that's hard to do without coming across as apologism.

It doesn’t need to be complicated!

Yvonmukluk posted:I think we've circled back round to Cyberpunk, those are basically the same themes. Max Headroom is definitely of cyberpunk extraction, especially given its vintage. I'm not convinced that 'modempunk' needs to be a thing any more than 'dieselpunk', given that the movement started in and around the early eighties, and that some of the literature reflects that in odd little anachronisms. But that's me.

You know what that is fair, the original Death Wish series was just typical for the time "THE CITIES ARE MAD HOUSES IF ONLY A HERO WOULD RISE (and kill everyone)". Problematic elements to that whole concept, but not exactly uniquely bad compared to its peers. Eli is just straight up making it into 'look at this cool jacked guy murdering minorities fuckin awesome right guys?!' At least Bronson was supposed to be an everyman old fart who gets pushed too far.

At least with the Punisher, most writers make no bones about how Frank is a deeply broken person who is stuck trying to kill the people he already murdered ages ago. Punisher MAX was good.

i mean in the original death wish the first time bronson kills a dude he runs home and throws up. he then proceeds to just lure criminals into situations where he would be "justified" in killing them. by the end of the movie he's just a soulless monster and clearly knows it. the novel is even more clear about it, but the writer still had to go back and write another book to underline the point. the movie sequels are where it all goes off the rails of course
