Halloween Jack posted:It will be called Clue: Origins and it will be about how Mr. Body achieved his lifelong dream of building a mansion in which to host murder mystery parties. The film ends with him opening the door as his colour coded guests arrive. This lasts for 140 minutes and costs $130 million. With a mid-credits stinger where deepfake CGI horror Tim Curry sets up another sequel.

I wouldn't mind seeing a TV series based on the Clue mystery books for kids, where every week somebody gets murdered, and then next week Mr. Boddy explains how they managed to escape death by the skin of their teeth.

Jimbozig posted:In video games, it's common to remaster old games when they are so great that remaking them would inevitably be worse. They can do that - I went to see a showing of the original Die Hard at an AMC theater in December. Maybe the people trying to remake stuff assume they'll get more money because they think people want something made recently instead of something very good but old.

Those books owned. I went through them on the internet archive the other day and they're still a fun read. Anyway I feel like there was a Clue tv show? maybe a british game show? Wikipedia also tells me there was this which... sure seems like a concept.

A theater here does 70mm showings and got their hands on Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade. That was neat. And of course there were the Star Wars rereleases back in the day, though I remember when my dad took me to those I didn't find it much more impressive than TV. I was a dull kid, a screen's a screen.

Doc Hawkins posted:ive never heard of this game, it's like among us meets great gatsby? those are popular, they could pull it off. characters moving around different rooms to do the tasks, people caught alone getting killed, the drama of the votes, ejecting the wrong person... No, it's not that cool. Nobody knows who the killer is at the beginning. There are suspect cards, place cards, and weapon cards. At the start of the game one of each is secretly placed in an envelope. The rest of the cards are dealt to the players.  The board looks like Mr. Body's mansion. You take turns rolling dice to move your token around the board. Whenever you enter a room you can ask "Was it [suspect] with [weapon] in [this room]?" If someone knows it wasn't because they have one of those cards in their hand they secretly show it to you and you mark it off. You can bluff by asking about a card you already have.  There is a score card you use to keep track of all the clues you know. When you think you know who it is (or you think someone else is going to win next turn) you say "I Accuse [person place thing]" and if anyone has a card that disproves your accusation you are out of the game. If no one has the card you open the envelope and lay out the cards to show you were right.

I remember after a particularly unsatisfying game of Cleudo where one player guessed the right combination on the first turn, my friends and I busted out my old dungeon floor plans and made Extreme Cleudo, with something like 50% more rooms, weapons and people. I think we needed a full pack of 52 playing cards or near enough to cover all the combos. I believe in our first game someone did the murder in a sauna with a lawnmower. I took a bunch of pictures of it, uploaded them to imageshack, and then forgot to move the originals over between one computer upgrade or another. I'm sure adult me would look at the game and lament how I'd somehow made the game even worse with my additions, but as it's lost to time now all I'm left with are the positive memories of "improving" the game.

The pastiche was fun, the characters mostly had good mechanics, but it fell into FFG classic problems like “this system is complex and gives only a slight advantage if you know exactly what you’re doing and nobody messes with your plan” and “here’s four more unique tokens that feel unnecessary.”

I was a swarm of psychic rats all in tiny tuxedos for the party, named William (or "Will") of the Swarm, and ended up being the only PC to die... but a fungus monster proceeded to cordyceps my corpses and rode them into the final confrontation as the mansion burned down, so all was good.

Apparently the company, Archon Studios, that did the Heroes of Might and Magic III board game are planning to make a rank-and-flank miniatures wargame based on the same HoMM3, and Jervis Johnson and Andy Chambers would be writing rules for it? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8PthtoV7Zlg For anyone who dealt with them for the board game Kickstarter, do you think the company has the wherewithal to pull off a full miniatures wargame? Is it something to be hopeful for from a professionalism and long-term viability standpoint or are they overreaching? PoontifexMacksimus fucked around with this message at 21:16 on Feb 19, 2024 |

I trust Andy Chambers. Archon/Prodos and Jervis, not so much, and that is coming from Blood Bowl being one of my all-time favorite games. When the inevitable Kickstarter rolls around I might throw in the token $1 for access to the pledge manager and maybe the backer only updates when the wheels fall off (a la Confrontation Classic). Maybe things will all work out right, but my gut is telling me to not expect a WHFB-killer.

It's about two months late to the party, if they're only doing a WHFB-alike. Is there info available in non video form?

When I was in high school I made a game based on here-say about Kill Dr. Lucky using the components of cluedo. In effect the players had to collect the cards that would be put in the envelope at the beginning of cluedo while I hammed it up roleplaying a doddering old rich fool wandering from room to room.

In all seriousness, you hear about shipping issues in Brazil so maybe this is a consequence or cover to stop supporting product there? (I know Brazilian and Iberian Portuguese are different but there's no way WotC gave a poo poo.)
