I should do tables more often, they are nice and easy to write and I have fallen out of the practice.
ReplyDeleteHah, quite inspiring. Isn't house of many doors a video game?
ReplyDeleteSo it is! Potentially I had seen it in passing and forgotten utterly about it, as is common.
DeleteThese could all double as ship names from the Culture series (which, btw, you should read and do a review post bc I’d love to hear your takes).
ReplyDeleteAlso, love the Morrowind reference. The ending of the words is ALMSIVI
I made a terrible, terrible mistake years ago of trying to get into the Culture series through Use of Weapons and that has stopped me from ever returning to it, outside of lists of ship names (which i love)
DeleteThat was my favorite book in the series but it’s absolutely impenetrable. Cant imagine a worse way to start the series lol
DeleteShould you ever give it a go, start with Consider Phlebas or Player of Games for sure.
If I were to develop any of these into a scenario, mind if I release them? Would credit you with the title, naturally, if you'd like. Been looking for an excuse to design a few pamphlet-sized sci-fi horror modules, and some of these sparked some ideas.
ReplyDeleteIf they're non-commercial and I get a credit blurb with a link-back, it's all good.
Delete#50 could be an alternate title for Red Dwarf.
ReplyDeleteI should hope so, that's where I swiped it from.
DeleteNow I feel stupid. Because my first thought was in the direction of A Spce Odyssey. I'm sorry. Dan.
DeleteNo worries, it's all good.
DeleteI'd read or watch all of these and can almost smell the yellow-edged pulp paper from some titles. Beautiful.
ReplyDeleteTen Credits and a Bullet is pure space-western poetry. Get In Loser, We're Hunting Space Fascists sounds like a rollicking good time. Perfectly Normal Barbecue Chicken Restaurant is something I want to play RIGHT NOW, and there's no end to the chicken-meat horrors. (I'm imagining the pulp-era conceit of a vat-grown Chicken Little that has developed enough mutant neural tissue to psionically influence the staff to mutate it further, because being ablated for nuggets is both painful and degrading).
You KNOW the first thing that happens in They Will Not Let You Die is tripping over your own gruesomely mutilated clone-sleeve. Then falling down a small pile of the same.
Clarified Sin Repository sounds like there's going to be a heist of Demon Liqueurs, ideally with a wine cellar and demon sommelier of flexible loyalty.
Alleged Horse Crimes is a mystery to me but I'd play it on the strength of the title alone.
And of course I'm stoked for more GGM content. I imagine the MacDougal as Gritty in a chef hat as drawn by R. Crumb, in the classic LSD Keep On Trucking stride.
