Monday Mashup: The Dukes of Amber
I'm actually thinking I could run this game sometime at a con.... This week's Monday Mashup is The Dukes of Hazzard. The way I see this, The Dukes of Hazzard was basically a show about a family of swill-making smugglers...

Monday Mashup: The Foundation
This week's Monday Mashup is the Foundation series by Isaac Asimov. Funny enough, I mashed Foundation years ago, when I was in high school. I was reading the series at the time and I started thinking about a setting where...
Monday Mashup: Into Thin Air
Bryant supplied this Monday Mashup topic several weeks ago. I'm catching up now and will start by tackling Into Thin Air. Of course, all I know about it is that its about some guys climbing Mt. Everest and the fight for survival.
Let's face it. Man against the elements can make a great read, but it's not the best scenario for roleplaying. So, let's spice it up.
For my game, I choose WEG's out-of-print "World of Indiana Jones RPG," part of the Masterbook series. This could also be run with GURPS, Buffy or many other games and would make a pretty good tale for a Slayer, a Watcher and a couple Demonhunters from the Thirties of Fourties.
The villian: A nazi or crazed genius with a plan. You know....the usual.
The artifact: A key that unlocks a door in a cave near the top of Mt. Everest that according to legend is the true Pandora's Box or some other apocalyptically bad thing. The key would, of course, have a grand history tying it with a few historical figures and places....perhaps Alexander the Great and Alexandria.
The plot: The game would start with some encounter in some exotic location (perhaps Istanbul, which was Constantinpole....which was Alexandra before that....) where the heroes fight valiantly to stop the villian from getting the artifact that opens "the door of apocalyptic badness" and fails as the villian gets away taunting the heroes that once he opens the door it will be "a whole new world" or some other menacing hint at his plans for the power he will find. The game than becomes a race to reach the cave before the master villian with fights against henchman near the beginning of the climb.
Part way up the mountain the heroes find that their guide was payed or convinced to betray them when he steals away with most of their equipment in the night......and then a storm comes in.
Monday Mashup: Dark They Were and Golden-eyed
You will live forever. You will never die....but you must feed. Bryant's Monday Mashup asks us to mash The Lost Boys, the second best vampire movie of 1987. (I'll take a guess that Bryant's choice for best vampire movie of...

Monday Mashup #35: Glengarry Glen Ross
“You wanna know what it takes to write mashups? It takes brass balls to write mashups.” Last week's Mashup was Glengarry Glen Ross. I think the answer for this Mashup is pretty obvious. Screw Real Estate. You want to go...
Monday Mashup #38: Sandbaggers
For the thirty-eighth Monday Mashup, Bryant challenged us to mash Sandbaggers. I've never seen Sandbaggers, but I'm told its a lot like MI5/Spooks, so I'm working from there and mashing it with Champions. The PCs are members of the D.M.O....
