Take a Shakespearean tragedy and convert the idea to a post-apoc setting.

Oh, and the ending was mind-boggling - "haha, your punishment for mass murder and treason is to have to go be henpecked by your shrewish wife. The ol ball and chain, right fellas?" What decade was this show produced in??

I, for one, am glad that our local moderator is dedicated to telling the harsh truths.

I've been told I could probably make some money condensing my random endless ridiculous ideas into random charts in PDFs and selling them on DriveThruRPG, wondering if there's some merit to that.

So say I was going to run an event at my local RPG gameday with the following theme:

It's Rick and Morty-themed. Basically, everyone is playing a Rick with some narrow specialty/personality quirk to differentiate themselves from all of the other Ricks. I'm not 100% certain what the mission is supposed to be yet, I can probably just throw some poo poo at a random table and see what sticks.

The catch is - around the end of the session, I reveal that none of them are Ricks. They're all just Jerrys pretending to be Rick (something something metaphor for the fanbase). Everything they've done has been in the confines of the Jerry daycare, with the people they 'kill' (even if they vaporize them) just acting out the part to help the Jerrys feel comfortable and important while their Ricks and Mortys are out. Any attempts to cause harm to the Ricks when they finally show up at the end will fail hilariously thanks to GM Fiat, although they might be able to do something that will make Beth complain to their Rick (e.g., ruin Jerry's clothes, have him contract Space Chlyamidia)

In that sense, I could theme the overall 'missions' around what the Jerrys are trying to do in the Mortynight Run episode. i.e., they're supposed to find an obscure part to repair an alien superweapon in order to turn it on and seize it for the Council of Ricks/themselves. What they're really doing is replacing the TV tuning knob for the TV in the common area so that they can adjust the picture.

My major question is: What system should I use?

Yes, I know we have a thread for it, but TG Chat is generally more active.

I was thinking of the following systems:
- Fiasco (although I've never played/run it)
- Paranoia XP (because life is cheap and they should be betraying each other left and right)

I fully expect/want the table to hate me by the end of the session, especially if they sign up thinking that they're actually playing Rick.

Want to start gaming with the wife. She doesn't like concentrating on board games so I thought we might do some role playing. Anything we can do as just 2 players?

Can we not talk about Dobson? You can just walk over to the chris-chan site or something if you need to stalk that guy until he dies for the dire crime of being a stagnant artist with a bad attitude.

e- reminder that BSS had a Dobson mockthread. Twice. The first time it was locked because the resident mockthread stalker posted pictures of Dobson's girlfriend. The second one was locked after someone snapped and went on a rant about how Dobson was to comics what a child molester is to children.

What’s the latest hotness in a simple story game for a one-shot? My big gaming group is taking a break from Pathfinder for a month and running one-shots. My first ideas were Paranoia, an OSR dungeon crawl, and Monsterhearts.
