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.

Chronicles of Riddick as a campaign setting?

Different types of races like Necromongers, Furians etc. Kickass planets with cool names like Helion Prime, the prison planet of Crematoria, where daylight, rather than nightfall, is the killer. I can see cool classes like Bounty Hunter, Merc, Lensor.

It'd be cool.

It's a 40K knockoff.  How can it be to twist a 40K homebrew to fit?

If the setting book has Claudia Black pictures, I'll buy it.

Other than that? Well, I could just get a random Sci-Fi RPG, call the player of my group who speaks the least and put goggles on him.

I think my first act as a player in such a campaign would be to go directly  to the prison world and run out into the sun.

There aren't many parallels with 40K, not enough to call it a rip-off IMHO.

You could have found a better picture of her. That color makes her skin tone look sickly...

But yes, she is Hawt
For you the day you found a minor error in a Post by Spike and forced him to admit it, it was the greatest day of your internet life.  For me it was... Tuesday.

For the curious: Apparently, in person, I sound exactly like the Youtube Character The Nostalgia Critic.   I have no words.

You can hear the dice clatter in the background when Riddick stabs the bad* guys in the movie itself, it's a c*nt hair away from an RPG.

That's because it's all based on one of Vin Diesel's RPG campaigns.

Do you know the DVD has an additional subtitle track that puts up all sorts of additional backstory about the gear, planets, people and mythology of the setting. It's worth watching with that on if you are thinking of doing an RPG based on the setting.

Oh and didn't Claudia Black die in the first film?

I wasn't such a big fan of the last flick, but "Pitch Black" and "Dark Fury" were both pretty good.
Yeah, I'd play it. I'm thinking d20 future would probably offer all of the knife fu, bone cracking feat-based fun you'd need for this one.

I'd go D&D.  Riddick is a straight up Rogue with Quicker than the Eye.

I dunno, the lethality of the setting, the speed with which most combats occurs seems to be antithetical to D&D based combat to me.  I'd suggest something else, but my brain was left at home this morning...

Well, obviously Vin Diesel is one of those DMs who always steals the show with his Mary Sue NPC, so the other characters don't get enough XP to level up. Life is lethal, if you're a first level commoner...
