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.

Quote from: Armchair Gamer;929831Mix with Hal Foster and Howard Pyle. Season lightly with 80s fantasy media and Nintendo. Serve comfortingly warm.

Nice recipe, though I'd pass on the Nintendo seasoning and double down on the 80s fantasy media. Possibly add a dash of Tolkien/Hildebrandt?

Quote from: DavetheLost;929284Mallory is indeed "metal as fuck". I am not sure which version of King Arthur people are reading to think it is all bright and shiny.

Maybe T. H. White? (never read it)

My film list that gets the feeling right:

Ladyhawke

Legend (1985)

Willow (1988)

Quote from: The Butcher;928928The one other remarkable nominee I have in mind is Philippe Gaston (played by Matthew Broderick) in Ladyhawke (arguably the biggest fantasy flick 'round here in its day).
I love the way Phillipe chats with with God.

QuoteLook at me, Lord. I was better off in the dungeouns of Aquila. My cell mate was insane - and a murderer - but HE respected me.
QuoteI know I promised, Lord, never again. But I also know that YOU know what a weak-willed person I am.
QuoteWe have come full circle, Lord. I would like to think there is some higher meaning in this. It certainly would reflect well on you.

Priceless.

Quote from: CRKrueger;929215If I did make an Indie Storygame, I'd make a Medieval Catholic WitchHunter Cortex Drama Hack using as Values the Seven Deadly Sins vs. the Seven Heavenly Virtues just to see every storygamer across the world lose their collective shit. ;)
Though the setting is different, Pendragon would work as the system. It already has the Christian sins and virtues.

Howard Pyle for one. Hal Foster’s Prince Valiant would be another.

That's not very far from my own personal inner dialogue.  When I'm not thinking actively of something else, I'm praying.

My wife and I quote the "it certainly would reflect well on you" a LOT.
You should go to GaryCon.  Period.

The rules can\'t cure stupid, and the rules can\'t cure asshole.

  Definitely a solid version; there are any number of seasonings you can add to the Romantic/romanticized/idealized fantasy base. (Now, I admit, the Nintendo element may be personal nostalgia mixing in. I'm thinking Zelda, yes, but also Dragon Quest/Warrior.)

Hey, I've got a question for you AG, since you seem very Nintendo literate; would you classify Fire Emblem 4 (Genealogy of the Holy War) as Paladins & Princesses?

  Unfortunately, my Nintendo experience was predominantly during the NES/SNES era; though I've kept up with my favorite series since, I don't have the broad knowledge of the later era. Fire Emblem was after my time. :)

Fire Emblem 4 is from the SNES era, but it's one of those classics that didn't get exported so Americans have had to emulate it:
