Can we make a game out of it?

Can we make a game out of it?

Are we up to the task?

Just wait for the series to come out. Gorillaz a shit after the new album.

Come now, user. There's plenty to work with.

No, there really isn't.

>plenty to work with
>the world isn't described at all unless the gorillaz are personally interacting with it
>they live in the real world sometimes and other times on a floating island
>your game is a floating island
>have fun

>having no imagination of your own

>unable to see opportunities for cyberpunk/urban adventures
>protags are all different types of bard
>enemies are all demons, ghosts, and corporate overlords

If you have to make up 90% of everything, then are you really basing the game on anything?

Yes. Gorillaz.

Isn't the whole point of Gorillaz the fact that they have no real definition whatsoever?

False. 0/10 see me after class.

Come now, user. Don't be difficult

Let's start with a song. Someone choose one from self-titled

>EMI has a naval fleet
>The gas mask man was a rejected fifth rider
>Flying islands exist
>Ghosts do too, and are frequently featured
>Japan attempted a supersoldier project
>Spectral pirates with WW2 gear exist
>Bruce Willis is a bounty hunter

Just bits and pieces I'm remembering off the top of my head. Would be better to take what is featured anyway and extrapolate how weird the world is from there.

>Ghosts frequently wield massive power
>Can summon undead and warp spacetime
>Parts of population not engaged in war or living in slums live a fattened urban life

The Gorillaz-verse is basically like a more colorful 1984 with supernatural elements.

Honestly, come to think of it, it's sort of like the World of Darkness but with more music and symbolism.

Basically Shadowrun but without the fantasy races and set in the modern world.
It takes a VERY street level, VERY gonzo/pink-mohawk approach. The world is expected to be very grotesque but also colourful and eclectic. Player access to magic and cybertech is limited but what few scrapes that can be had are powerful and difficult to control. Junky military hardware galore.

Gorillaz is basically Tank Girl before the world ended. Same insanity.

That doesn't translate much to a tabletop game. Furthermore, their actual abilities aren't balanced at all. Murdoc is an asshole who literally just has god tier luck from ripping off various spiritual entities and reneging on deals with them while also fucking over the law and criminals in our world; that's not a stat, that's rules lawyering. Also he has an ear for catchy tunes.

2D has literally no survival skills, is extremely stupid, is weak, and cannot see very well. He only has the ability to write music, an interesting voice, and what is considered an attractive feminine form in-universe.

Russel used to have powers granted by ghostly and demonic possession, but now has nothing except glowing eyes and skills with machines, taxidermy, and music.

Noodle is the ONLY player character type character, and she's fucking god mode. Her introduction to them was playing a guitar riff that sounded like a chorus of demons in ancient Babylonian which was followed by a 200ft high kick. She can speak any language, is a super soldier genius, and ALSO has extreme musical talent.

So there's not really much to go on there. The best you could do is be a character in their universe, their groupies or friends.
On the plus side you do have plenty of random enemies from record label armies, the undead, stupid people, the Black Cloud Pirates, Paula Crackers and her batshit insane snaps with reality, and Doctor Wurzel. Not to mention ghosts, the grim reaper himself, and giant gorillas.

Meddling Kids. Its an obscure but very well rated tabletop roleplaying game.

You play as Gorillaz collaborators on an album. You deal with whatever batshit insane things the Dm throws at you while also trying to put together the music. Then you have to perform it on tour.

There's also Robot Noodle, though I don't know if she's any good at anything.

She can pilot a submarine and fire guns although her accuracy is pretty bad. She can get shot quite a bit and survive, although in the retconned death Noodle showed that beheading will kill her.

Other than getting Murdoc drinks and playing guitar almost as good as real Noodle I don't think she's good at anything else. She's apparently a bike enthusiast now though.

Studio Kong had plenty of material. Add things from the songs and you have enough for a campaign.
Shit was basically a point n click game.

Okay, this actually sounds like a lot of fun.
>One PC gets randomly selected as Murdoc's butt monkey

Come on Veeky Forums this is a fucking goldmine lets get diggin
