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.

Any one heard about this one?

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1705111/

I get it the D&D would have 3 movies.

I was somewhat surprised that Mutant Chronicles got made into a movie (awesome movie, or at least I like it).

And of course there always rumours about Deadlands or Rifts movies.

But InSpecters? Some of the cast even seem to have acting credits!
New! Cyberblues City - like cyberpunk, only more mellow. Free, fully illustrated roleplaying game based on the Fudge system
Bounty Hunters of the Atomic Wastelands, a post-apocalyptic western game based on Fate. It\'s simple, it\'s free and it\'s in colour!

Wow, that's crazy, but cool.

I'll be surprised if Columbia Pictures doesn't sue, though. I mean, it's pretty obvious that the premise of InSpectres is Ghostbusters with the serial numbers filed off.

They'd have some difficulty making that stick, I expect, since ghost hunting shows are all over the telly right now and they haven't moved on them.
D&D is becoming Self-Referential.  It is no longer Setting Referential, where it takes references outside of itself. It is becoming like Ouroboros in its self-gleaning for tropes, no longer attached, let alone needing outside context.

As others have pointed out, there's a glut of ghost hunter types these days. Besides, the storyline synopsis claims they face a werewolf and german gremlins. Doesn't sound that much like the Ghostbuster movies to me.

Been hearing about this around the LA cons for years, but I never knew they went into actual production. I had hoped they would sell the IP to a major studio since the concept is definitely fun.
