This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Really bad movies that would make a fun RPG setting?

I don't think SW was initally that earnest, until perhaps the unuccessful end of Return of the Jedi. But a lot of SW fans certainly treated it with an undue amount of earnestness.

The first film especially had a lot of humour, but most of it was in-universe humour that didn't remind the viewer they were watching a film.

The 1981 Moonie-funded film Inchon, one of the worst films ever made (so bad that it was never officially released on either VHS or DVD, I had to watch it bootleg on YouTube) is a guilty pleasure of mine, and it makes me wish we had a Korean War RPG in print.

Preferably something OSR like Operation White Box, but set in the Korean War instead of WWII.

If I were to ever make such a game, I would keep the corebook at least semi-grounded in history, but also do a companion book that would include options for a "Weird War" style approach and include Soviet Superscience, Aliens, and other zany 1950's B-Movie antics.

If I were to make this style of game, it'd be like M.A.S.H meets OD&D with a side of Call of Duty.

While neither bad nor a movie really, it hit me over the weekend while watching the cartoon tv version of Grinch that Stole Christmas that the Seuss universe would make an awesome setting.
There are three kinds of people in the world: those that can do math and those that can\'t.
