Hey Everybody,

Last night I had an idea for a game, but I don't know if there is anybody out there who is interested. Please note, this is not a recruitment, this is just to check interest.

The idea is a game set in the Disney Universe, but than translated to a more Film Noir or Horror setting. Ducktown is plagued by some kind of threat, and various characters of the players' choice will deal with it. Characters will have to be tuned into a more mature form of themselves:

Donald Duck might be an unemployed sailor with an alcohol problem.
Daisy might be mentally stuck between keeping her job as a waitress in a restaurant and taking care of the children, all the while maintaining a nighttime vigilante routine.
Mickey might be going through a tough divorce with Minnie, fighting over custody of Pluto.
Horace Horsecollar could be a bouncer at a stripclub.

Just how this would work I'm still trying to figure out. Might be rules based, might be freeform. The setting just really got my attention. Please note... mature doesn't mean explicit sex and violence, it's just a big step away from the fairytale world Ducktown usually is.

Let me know if you think this is cool, disgusting, inappropriate for this forum, or ultimate win.

I think that this is extremely odd... which means that I love the idea (and I'm a huge Disney nut).

This seems like the kind of game that you would do a great ob on, too!

Fantastic idea, Almerin! And, might I add, a nifty twist of uniqueness for the "standard fare" hereabouts. So much so, in fact, that I can't help but express my own interest...

Darkwing Duck, Launchpad McQuack.... Oooooooh, the possibilities!!!

*click!* "Remember me, Mr. Patterson? My name is Bambi. Maybe you forgot what happened to my mother, but I didn't."

Oh.

Oh..

The possibilities. Jessica Rabbit, much? "I'm not bad. I'm just drawn that way"

!

Love it, Almerin! The event is this coming week (er... starting tommorow). Can't wait to see if you've cooked anything else up by the time I get back!

Good reactions so far. Love the bambi crossover.

An adventure hook is shaping up in my mind. I think this should be freeform, or some kind of very low rules thing. We'll let it marinade for a few days and it'll be ready to fire up.

Great idea but the only thing I can come up with my gay male hooker Peter Pan that I used in the Beyonds.

You used a gay male hooker?

Just kidding. But with the risk of getting angry hisses: what's Beyond?

Minnie - head of a baking corporation (ie Betty Crocker), perhaps trying to attain world domination by means of expansion and consequent amalgamation of various other companies...

Mickie - Pioneer in steam technology, and also founder of several towns outside of ducktown, all connected by his steam railways. In competition with Minnie because she recently expanded into airway travel, hence tension and divorce difficulties.

Scrooge McDuck - head of a business and loan (naturally) with his bank... McDuck Banking Incorporated

Huey, Duey, Louie - Depends on whether you want them to take a dark route or just troublemaker route. On the one hand they could have made a biker gang. On the other hand they could just be teenage rascals that get into trouble a lot (teeeeeenagers...)

Donald - currently on probation from his term as mayor after flunking with the idea of importing goods to restructure and give ducktown a new atmosphere... perhaps he shouldn't have imported from Skellington.

Daisy - making ends meet as you've said already.

Just a few ideas... this butterfly has a lot of them.
