Apart from the list above, you must obey the 24 hour RPG rules. The judge's decision is final. £30 will be in Amazon vouchers, emailed to you.I want the £30 to pay my D&D habit! What is it judged on?
Poor you! Our panel of monkeys will be judging you on:- Must include an NPC called Keeton
- Proximity: How close to the two films is it?
- Complete: Is it complete? Could you run it?
- Attractive: Is it attractive to look at?
- Professional: How much effort went into layout and style?
- Extras: Did they include actual cover, index, character sheet or any other cool things you get in a proper RPG?

Intrigued, never done one of these bother, definitely considering it. My only question is...June?! How do you know it took 24 hours to make if it isn't due in 24 hours?
I mean, not every one has my Superman like sense of right and wrong. ;)
It is a good comment, Barking Alien. I'd like to think we could tell but I don't think we would! We just trust that the sort of people who would submit a roleplaying game for free are the same sort of people who would stick to the rules.
Glad you're tempted. Temptation is the first step toward doing it.
*ding*
I'm definitely doing this. Not now, of course, but I'll keep it on the radar. I have an idea boiling as to the two movies I'd mash up.
Carpe Guitarrem, you'll be most welcome to come aboard the good ship no-sleep-hammer-out-a-game!
do you mind if i cross post on my meager lesser-read blog?
Gordon.
Definitely interested, will try to get my good friend to do it too!
Jensan, I am looking forward to what you come up with already! Your writing on Rustfoot is superb!
Dumbo and Lion King make for hilarious mashups with nearly everything else.
Lion King + Blade Runner
Dumbo + One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest
Yeah. The second one might be creepy-doable. Circus animals struggling to stay sane in a turn-of-the-century carnival? Eek.
I'm sad Labyrinth isn't on there. I'd like to see a game based on, say, that and A Clockwork Orange, or Ghostbusters.
Or Blade Runner... (Missed it the first time around.)
Stephen - I agree. Disney mashups are going to be wild!
C'Nor - Alas our little list is missing many greats. However, to keep the competition tight, we needed to keep the list relatively short. There is a fun aspect to seeing two games made from similar elements. I am expecting lots of Ghostbuster mashups! ;-)
I think I might have a go at this! I have a solid idea of what films I'll be using.
Great blog, followed.
Take a look at mine sometime, it is rather similar:

My own longtime obsession with the Muppets and recent (all of March) work on a homebrew Muppets RPG makes me wish at least one Henson film was included.
Come'on guys! No Muppet Movie? OK. But no Labyrinth or Dark Crystal. Dang.
