dsatow Posted January 18, 2016 Report Share Posted January 18, 2016 My game will be about a group of super teens heading off to spring break on an island with a camp, amusement park, beach, etc. I am planning there will be a lot of geek fandom horror movie spots on the island with the SyFy monsters providing the big challenges. I have a few ideas for my Dundracon game about what SyFy Monsters will appear, but what are people favorites? In case people are wondering: 403 Summer of SyFy Saturday 6 PM in 160 for 8 hoursRoom MapGM: Don Satow Type: RPGSystem: Hero 6th ed.Edition: 6thPlayers: 6Provided: Characters may be provided by GMPower Level: 9d6, 8 CV, 5 Spd (5th ed chars ok; no Find Weakness)Variations: Teen ChampionsRules Knowledge: UsefulGame Content: Mainstream It's Summer Break! Time for a break for teen supers at the beach. Everyone's headed to the Amity Island for the amusement park, bikinis and Camp Crystal Lake. As you refuel your vehicle at the last gas stop before Amity Island, an old man warns of impending doom. The new amusement park and camp are built on lands said to be cursed by the local indians. A group of teens and their great dane, also heading to the island, say it's all poppycock. They are headed to the island for the hot dog eating contest and the beach. As the teens finish filling up their green van, they wish the heroes well and head off. The old man maintains, the island is cursed. As if in response, the weather report on the radio reports unusual weather activity off the coast... Be prepared to meet up with some of SyFy's biggest stars in a mix of monsters and summer horror movie madness. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothere Posted January 19, 2016 Report Share Posted January 19, 2016 So are talking only human sized beasts or are Godzilla and the Giant Claw on the table? Gillman and the hideous sun demon for humanoid beasts. A werewolf and mummy for classic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marcus Impudite Posted January 19, 2016 Report Share Posted January 19, 2016 Since it'll be on an island with a beach, The Creature From The Black Lagoon and Humanoids From The Deep are possibilities worth considering. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dsatow Posted January 19, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 19, 2016 At least one of the suggestions above is scheduled to appear. Both monsters big and human sized will be seen, though not Godzilla. I'm doing more SyFy monsters, as when a year or two ago SyFy went movie monster of the week crazy. A couple of classics (dracula, wolfman, frankenstein) may appear but may be in a slightly updated form. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phydaux Posted January 19, 2016 Report Share Posted January 19, 2016 Anything having to do with Mad Science--Frankenstein, Dr. Jekyll & Mr. Hyde, The Invisible Man, and other such geniuses. Yeah, you've got to have the Universal Pictures monsters - Frankenstein, Bride of Frankenstein, Dracula, Wolfman, the Mummy, Creature from the Black Lagoon, and Phantom of the Opera. Then there's the Slasher Flick monsters, Freddy, Jason, Michael, and Leatherface. And Zombies, lots & lots of Romero zombies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ninja-Bear Posted January 19, 2016 Report Share Posted January 19, 2016 Can the group defend the island from a Sharknado? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheDarkness Posted January 19, 2016 Report Share Posted January 19, 2016 Wasn't there one about a super intelligent pet rat that ended up controlling the rat population? Also, if some horses ended up dying, and there's a little girl who never sleeps, the characters could regret freeing her from the loft of her evil adopted father. What was that recent Irish movie about alien tentacled beings that attack an island, and the inhabitants figure out that they can't stomach alcohol?

Lord Liaden Posted January 19, 2016 Report Share Posted January 19, 2016 If you're allowing big monsters, but no Godzilla, a more sci-fi alternative would be the Beast from 20,000 Fathoms. How about some of THEM, i.e. giant ants? Keeping with the insect theme for a moment, there's The Fly -- not the Jeff Goldblum remake, but the original with Vincent Price (and its more monster-y sequel, Return of the Fly).

Badger Posted January 19, 2016 Report Share Posted January 19, 2016 Well, if somebody gets dumb enough to bring a shovel and do some digging, they could find a chest and bring The Thing That Couldn't Die into the mix Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wcw43921 Posted January 19, 2016 Report Share Posted January 19, 2016 What's so dumb about wanting to get ahead? Get it? The Thing That Couldn't Die was a movie about an evil head, so the people in the movie Got A Head! That's funny, right? Right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LouisGoncey Posted January 19, 2016 Report Share Posted January 19, 2016 What was that recent Irish movie about alien tentacled beings that attack an island, and the inhabitants figure out that they can't stomach alcohol? That was a solid little film called GRABBERS, I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dsatow Posted January 20, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 20, 2016 So far, people have hit 4 of the monsters I was planning to inflic...err.. run against the players, but there are some I haven't thought of. So my thanks! If people have any more suggestions, I'd love to hear them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steriaca Posted January 20, 2016 Report Share Posted January 20, 2016 Pumpkinhead, Hatchet, and Leatherface? Prehaps someone selling The Stuff. Be shur to pick up some of Farmer Vic's Fritters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ninja-Bear Posted January 26, 2016 Report Share Posted January 26, 2016 I often said that even though SyFy had some really cheesy movies, at least they had some original ones. Ntw how about the PCs findinh the monster Ark? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
