You must choose a traditional game franchise to turn into a movie. What franchise is it? Who do you choose to direct...

>What franchise is it?
Shadowrun

>Who do you choose to direct?
I choose Chad Stahelski and David Leitch

>What is the premise?
Shadowrunners who are very good at what they do. They get in contact with a dragon, unwittingly.

>GM/MC is a railroading asshole who throws a fit whenever the party doesn't do exactly what he's planned
>Science guy does whatever he can to make the most min/maxed character possible
>Girl always makes Half Demon/Half Vampire level Mary Sues and frequently derails the group to impose her politics upon the setting
>Jock is probably the least broken out of all of them, but is only in the group to screw Girl and everyone knows it
Could be salvaged.

An animated series based on Adeptus Evangelion, using transcripts from real games and from the irc. I'm sure the combination of all adeva characters and players put together in one project can out-scum Always Sunny.

Spoony's campaign when he DM Thieves' World.

This, but it would be difficult to pull off.

I'm kind of surprised someone hasn't done it already. It would seem like the perfect SyFy show to do now. Since it's pop culture post-apocalypse muh diversity magical realm dark future where everyone gets to be a piece of shit and awesome in the same settling. Some of the SR story times would have made great live action scenes/series.

Deadlands.

Tarantino.

>Paranoia
>Edgar Wright (Or any other good comedy director )
>Troubleshooters have to make a propaganda Film, things escalate quickly.

Nah, I'm thinking a semi-serious approach. The main cast could go like this:
1) Assistant -> Scientist -> Traitor
He's the everyman, and through his eyes we get to know the setting. At first he's amazed by what's going on around him, but slowly he realizes just how immoral and nightmarish the corporation running the station is. At first, when he's offered the job by a Syndicate, the audience is meant to cheer for him - finally, he sticks it up to the man! - but in order to successfully sabotage the station, he has to commit more and more questionable actions. From thefts, to an accidental murder, to covering his crimes up with more murder, he becomes a villain protagonist.
2) Cargo technician -> Quartermaster -> HoP -> Captain
Mandatory token woman. Starts out as a lowly cargo technician, but quickly rises through ranks. She's our glimpse into inter-department politics, and when she becomes a HoP (and later a captain) - relationships between heads and higher-ups of the corporation. She begins as an idealist, who believes she can be a good boss, but the system corrupts her into a paranoid wreck, keeping threats secret from her empoyees - because they would rebel, if they knew...
And they eventually do.
3) Detective
Loose cannon, who doesn't play by the rules. He's meant to investigate petty thefts and workplace accidents, but as spooky shit begins to happen on the station, his employers start doing everything they can to keep him out of the loop. Why is head of security acting to strangely - as if he's a different person? Who leaves those bloody runes in the abandoned maintenance tunnels? And most importantly, what is the mystery behind the strange disk that the captain is doing so much to keep secret?

The final season deals with revolting crew being infiltrated and subjugated by the cult of Nar'Sie. Unable to fight it, captain blows the station up in a nuclear explosion, killing everyone, in order to prevent the blood god from manifesting.

Nechronica.

Just get the special effects guys and costume designers from Meatball Machine and Tokyo Gore Police on it.

So an actual gaming group then?

Twilight Imperium
I wouldn't know who to chose to direct it.
I use the fall of the empire scenario/the backstory.

also script by Gen Urobuchi

I feel like there could be some pretty interesting stories from Mage: The Ascension if it were directed by Christopher Nolan. He'd love the whole "shared reality will fuck you up."

Pandemic (the board game) would make a kick as Tv show if done right; take some of the formula from police/spy shows ; add in some close to true procedures for dealing with diseases; have a couple of varied locations across the globe; have a plot following an explosive spread of a mutating disease, finding out about it, discovering a cure, working with others to spread the cure, find whos responsible etc.

>Tarantino

>Touching anything Old West related again

We did something like that a year ago bit it had a gay dm, a gangster black guy, a hippy girl, and a trans asian nerd.

F.A.T.A.L.
Uwe Boll

It is either gonna be the best or worst thing ever, quite likely both at the same time.

Monsterhearts.

A raunchy, but quickly horrifying sit-com.

>Fiasco
>Wes Anderson
>Twelve people, the Loose Cannon Cop, the Lone Sniper, the Bitchy News Reporter, her Bumbling Assistant, the Vacationing Asian, the Jerk Stage Magician, the Rookie Crook, the Criminal Mastermind, the Drug Lord, the Vixen, the German Engineer, and the Alcoholic Author, have been brought to the Las Vegas Police Department to answer the question: What the hell happened in the Grand Rashomon Casino (and Hotel)?
>Each story is told in a different film style and with different versions of events
>In the end, the Private Investigator closes the transcript, passes it back to the Chief, and says "That's not how I remember it..."

>You must choose a traditional game franchise to turn into a movie.

Kingdom Death.

I want Guillermo del Toro & Quentin Tarantino to co-direct it.

And I want it to be animated by a french studio & korean studio with a budget of about- I'm gonna say maybe 100 million.
It'll either be a train wreck or something truly beautiful, horrendous, disgusting and amazing.

pretty much

>not Terry Gilliam

WHFB
Peter Jackson, but give him time and hope he's in his LotR mood, not the Hobbit mood
Story of Magnus and the first chaos invasion

While competing with an OZMA team, who try to capture some of the Exsurgent tech/strain for "nefarious purposes".

Also, the film should start with the main character being reinstated from back-up. It'll make a nice introduction to the nature of mortality in the setting.

Catan. It'll probably have the most chance of being a success.

Why the fuck would you want QT at this?

He's good at using light and dialogue, not dark moody atmospheric shit

Delta Green

Wes Anderson

Theodore Roosevelt (played by bill Murray) has sent a small Calvary squad (lead by Edward Norton) to rescue an eccentric millionaire friend (played by Jeff goldblum) who's polar expedition has gone terribly off course and is stranded in the Yukon. They run into a mounty (played by Owen Wilson) and his Eskimo guide (played by some old Indian guy) who are investigating a murder the natives say was done by a sasquatch.

40k, Michael Bay directing, Eisenhorn starring Shia LeBouf as Inquisitor Eisenhorn. The plot would revolve around ole Gregor being brought around to accepting Xenos by a jive talking Tau and grumpy Ork played by Eddie Murphy and Mike Meyers. The nerdrage would be transcendent.

This is fucking flawless.

So DM of the Rings?

I would tell the Story of Gaunt's Ghosts in a mini series akin to Band of Brothers.

Who cares who directs? Who would play who?

Degenesis, Mad Max style cinematography, with a subplot of intrigue between the cults trying to come out on top, despite Psychonaut threats. Also trippy burn sequences are a must.

DM of the Rings didn't have the girl.

D&D by Uwe Boll, because I think it will still be better than the actual D&D movies and he is probably the only one who would have the balls left to even touch the franchise after those failures.

Well there's mine. It hurts this will never happen.

i was going to say shadowrun or rifts but

this. a 1000 times this.

Can we get a Paranoia/Eclipse Phase crossover?

Pathfinder
Rise of the Runelords
M. Night Shamalan

Just fuck my shit up

Underrated post

Unknown Armies, directed by David Lynch

Oh wait, Twin Peaks is getting a season 3. Close enough, I guess.

This is the correct answer. Particularly if it was animated in the style of something like the Venture Bros with a bit of soviet influence.

...

shadowrun
director: dunno, i know shit about that area
premise: cyberpunk with elves and orcs and dragons

>Shadowrun
>Guy Richie directing. I think that'd pretty much set the theme as well.

FATAL, directed by the sick fucks that birthed the Human Centipede.

But cyberpunk is super dead to normies
Too real

Twilight 2000.

The movie is called Terminator.

O-Bi, O-Ba: The End of Civilization.
Watch it. It's literally Paranoia: The Movie, only has human bureaucracy instead of the Friend Computer

I'd watch that.

Kevin Hart to play the Tau though, hes this decades Chris Tucker

Mein neger, although my story involves how a renegade Time mage broke his reality's timeline and now he's maybe doomed the one he landed in sheet his unceremonious boot from his own world (via Paradox) with only shreds of his former power. But people here have few of no powers on that guy's arrival so hijinks begin to ensue.

Big bad guy? It's different by movie but The Technocracy is the usually silent hand of EVIL moving through the cabal's plans. The first movie is about some Vampire asshole who wants to try to eliminate entire lineages of other Vampires en masse, making his own that much stronger. Maybe one Vampire is a betrayer to that cause? And maybe that's a Malkavian because insane Vampires are best Vampires?

They wouldn't do Shadowrun so close to Ghost in the Shell anyway.

If we ever got a Shadowrun movie it'd be a few years away and probably in German. If we ever got a hollywood movie it'd play up the cyber parts and get rid of the rest, and they'd probably call it Deus Ex.

It could use the Always Sunny style openings AMAZINGLY.

"Can I borrow your goulashes?"

"No, fuck off! You asshole are always stealing them. I need that shit to not fall on my ass mopping up monkey blood."

"Ok, first off it wasn't from a monkey. We've been over this. Second, I really need them."

"What could you need them for?"

"What does it matter? I need to borrow them for like 30 minutes. What's the worst I could even do with fucking Goulashes in that time frame? It's a pair of rubber slippers, man!"

Syfy's about the only ones who would touch it and then they'd ruin it with every character and every line being a cardboard cliche of cyberpunk. Also no one would have cyberware because of budget (magic is okay, we can use some cheesy cgi). Also the dragon in the series would look worse than Megatron from beast wars because fucking syfy.

Warhammer 40k, brought to life by Erasmus Brosdau.

youtube.com/watch?v=cZc6cr6G2E4

Would watch in a heartbeat

Needs to be an anime movie tho

>M:TG
>fuck if I know
>Elspeth-focused Theros-block. Lots of big battles, 1v1 duals, and climactic finale with Elspeth and Ajani vs God Xenagos. And then ends with Heliod being a bitch and Ajani leaving Theros behind.

The main characters gotta be the detective though, with him trying to hunt down the assistant turned traitor and generally being overwhelmed and outgunned by syndies and other op antags alike

Kek smiles at your idea.

Those Community episodes were always the weakest.

Supporting cast could include insane cannibal chef, autistic clown with no sense of right and wrong, jackbooted nazis from security and, of course, creepy, secretive and sociopathic roboticists.
I'm thinking a major plot revelation could be that all cyborgs and AI run on wetware, brains of executed criminals. Maybe that twist could make the assistant turn traitor.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOPPPPE!

Night Shift: Minimum Wage, Maximum Weird.

Bunch of dudes having to survive with their sanity intact.

He already made a flick about boarding a Space Hulk.

My negro amigo

Degenesis. You can go full /pol/ or not depending on how you involve Africa.

>But cyberpunk is super dead to normies
If anything, cyberpunk is one of the most appealing things to normies. You just need to make it retro-futuristic and add synthwave music.

No one here's requesting a movie about the Trout/Two-Times arc?

An old world of darkness franchise directed by Scorsese. Each movie stars a protagonist from each of the main games (vampire the masquerade, werewolf the apocalypse etc.).

>Making a mash-up from oWoD
This is the easiest way to fuck things up. Keeping to single book is problematic enough already. Want to build continuity from them? Well then sorry, either you recreate something in size of Marvel's cinematic universe, or this won't work.

Vampire the Masquerade
Del Toro

It follows a Nosferatu information broker who gets caught in a turf war between Carmilla and Sabbat.

I had a laff

So here is the quick and simple question:
Who would watch it?
And please, don't tell me "but of course, fa/tg/uys would". If you seriously think they create audience big enough to push big budget productions or just average budget, you are seriously out of touch with how the hobby is small in reality.

Call of Cthulhu.
John Carpenter as director.
Del Toro as art director.
They colaborate on screenplay.
Budget between 30 and 50 millions.

A Mouse Guard movie would be really cool

It has grown violently in the last decade or so, by all accounts. There are people who make a living off of uploading sessions to YouTube.
Fantasy, horror, superheroes, and sci-fi have similarly grown, gaining a strong foothold in mainstream entertainment to the point where they're consistently outselling lots of old, more mundane, staples.
Shows like The Walking Dead, Game of Thrones, and all those vampire shows, aren't niche anymore. Superhero movies are extremely profitable and new ones come out constantly.

Look at what kinds of shows are being made, what kinds of movies are being made, and then perhaps read your post again and tell me this; who's out of touch? Because the 90's called, and they want their attitude toward entertainment media back.

user, here is the message, so sit tight and brace yourself, because this is going to be hell of a ride. Ready? Here it is:

World doesn't end on American borders

The hobby is on constant decline everywhere outside Anglosphere, and by Anglosphere I mean English part of UK (where it's simply not declining) and US of A, where it's on the rise.
Everyone else is in decline, due to myriad of reasons, but the collective ones usually boil down to the problem with translations, lack of own production, shattered market, massive growth in video games business in last two decades and really unfavourable socio-economical conditions in most of the world.

You know what it means for a film production? That either you pump shitload of money into marketing to even get a traction with viewers OR make it "broad strokes", so it will use the name of something established, but will barely have anything to do with it (think Uwe Boll and how he treats different franchises) OR it will be low budget production dumped into cinemas in February or May, aka the "dump months", where American studios have free time in the year where they don't compete with anyone about anything and all the shit has to be crammed somewhere.

And about your "look around notion". Well I did. Unless things aren't followed with MASSIVE marketing, usually costing more than the film they've promote, not even nostalgia will help.

So...another Thing movie then?

>Shows like The Walking Dead, Game of Thrones, and all those vampire shows, aren't niche anymore
The first one is in decline of popularity for past two years (just check the slow, but steady drop of viewers), just like everything zombie related
The second is literally before the final season and I GUARANTEE it will be forgotten in less than a decade, just like every other hype-driven production.
And vampires are more dead than disco music. How out of touch with 2016 you are, if this shit literally became the most unfavourable material what? 5? 6 years ago? Where the fuck were you, when Twilight singlehandly ruined vampires for pop-culture for entire generation?

Late 00s called. They want to know when you will finally leave your basement to see the world around. Because you might be shocked how little changed outside your small, secured bubble.

I'm Scandinavian and this is literally the exact opposite of what I've experienced, both in Denmark and Sweden.

I'm gonna have to need a citation for this statistical data you're privy to about tabletop gaming hobbies in other countries.

Kinda. Sorta.

Besides, Del Toro was making Mountains of Madness... and then Prometeus happend, which suddenly made it literally impossible to adopt MoM, due to huge amount of similarities and how audiences reacted to that piece of shit.

Shadowrun.
James Cameron.

You implicitly assume all of those major changes in mainstream culture are simply many simultaneously temporary fads, despite the fact that the entertainment that's coming out and is profitable is increasingly sci-fi/fantasy/superhero related.

Does your brain drip out your ear when you cock your head?

Different user, but I'm observing the exact what he stated in Poland ever since the only big company in tabletop business closed down their gaming department and focused exclusively on books.

How many games have been published in... well, both Denmark and Sweden, since you probably live somewhere close to Sund. Native games.
Poland had 4 in last 15 years.
Which for a country with 38 millions people in it, suficient development and just ABSURDLY large market in the 90s (where games were published by dozens) is just sad.

Since you've insist on this, I've just digged out the numbers for Marvel cinematic from box office mojo.

You know what it says?
Decline.
The further it goes, the more those films costs, the more expensive is their marketing and the less revenue they generate, further cut short by increasing costs.

But hey, it's a stable change in culture, right? Not just a fad that is getting cold at this point. Totally not that!

You know, you could try to make some good points.
But what for, if you can go just directly to ad homs and vulgarity.

>Vampires
>Fad
>Zombies
>Fad
>Superheroes
>Fad

user, please tell us - why are you trying to pretend your little head-canon is more important than reality? What? Is it the moment I should bring out that famous rant from The Revolver about personal investments blinding peeople and making them unable to see how things really are?

It's like you want it to be bad.

Why in the name of all that's holy would anyone favor a game made in their own country (and God forbid their own awkward-ass native language that doesn't convey the same tone as something like English) over something like D&D or WoD?
Are you that shit at English in Poland?

Even when roleplaying in Danish, tons of the terms we use are still in English because the Danish ones are goofy or ill-fitting.

Following what already this user stated: all your examples boil down to single thing that keeps entire "genres" alive.
GoT is "mainstream", but it doesn't make fantasy any more mainstream than it was 10 or 30 years ago. Hell, I would go as far and argue it made it less mainstream as compared with early 00s, where LotR and Potter really were a lasting game-changers for the popculture and what gets and what is not green-lighted by execs.
Zombies were nothing more than short-lived craze, put on life-support by single show, which emerged in the tail end of that craze. Compared with the state from just 5 years ago, zombies are now just a thing from the past that everyone got completely and fully tired off. Basing entire existence of this or that thing on just one show (which itself uses only the backdrops) is pretty much everything that a fad is.
And remind me - how does it happen the entire Marvel cinematic universe and all their never-ending string of films is getting more and more of critical flak, with decreasing revenue and most of audiences being just tired of yet another Marvel film recycling the same thing once again. That's the other side of the coin called "fading fad".

Dunno, are you blind or what? Those things were big, all three of them, roughtly 5 years ago. You act as if nothing changed ever since. More, you act as if their popularity was growing. not declining.

Well, do you see any other fantasy production going? Or productions? At least as copy-cats?
Or anything happening in zombie genre?
I won't even ask about super-hero stuff, because this is so much American I seriously doubt anyone would even try to pull this as anything else than parody.
