VHS - Prime Time Chicken Hour - Action Movie World

Hey folks,

I'd like to give this system a go. You play action stars from lower budget movies. Powered by the Apocalypse engine...

Playbooks can be found on the games site:

Let me know if you're interested in the forum I set up for the game.

Cheers,

David

This looks like the awesomest game I've seen all year.

Wow. Just Wow

I'd love to give this a shot! Who doesn't love campy 80s action movies? lmao

Radical! Pick some play books and whip up some actors. If you don't have the rules they are pretty simple. You should be able to make it through with just the playbooks and move sheet.

How does everybody feel about using actual movie stars from the period instead of made-up ones?

I'm good with either or? If we do wind up using actual stars, it would be pretty neat to throw them together in a sort of "Expendables" type fashion.

Feel free but I think part of the fun (and it's built into the game) is that the actors are fallible and neither the plots nor the talent are a-lister's. They might get there with experience but these are more of the straight to video type of movies or "almost there" movies.

K, Novel's got the Smartass, Johnny Lawson

Got room for another? I'd like to play the Thespian.

Edit: Sorry, I couldn't find the forum you set up.

I have also not found any kind of forum. I'm assuming it's a public forum, and those are bugged.

I want a gunfighter.
Although oddly I think of both the examples the playbook gives for Gunfighter as more martial arts stars.

Invite sent. Gunfighter is yours. I think they went John Woo with the gunfighter

Room for one more if anyone is interested

The rest of you should all be invited to the game. I've started some threads in the forums for the game.

Looking forward to this.

Cheers!

I'm relly interested in this! I'm thinking the A-Team or similar. I'd really like a chance at it. I think I like the Smooth Operator, would that fit well?
