Game SystemOther Roleplaying Games
ThemeThe cheesiest, most extreme (perhaps even X-TREEEME), explosion-filled VHS tape of action/sci-fi movie glory that your past preteen self would have gone nuts over. Suspend your disbelief with a cavalcade of low-budget space suits and corny one-liners galore!
FlavourCorny with a heaping helping of cheese. Strap in, buckaroos; we're makin' a Sci-Fi movie! Silliness and overdramatics abound. Chew that scenery.
Plot Summary
Game Name


Game SystemAction Movie World: First Blood (Powered by the Apocalypse). A simple RPG where all you need are 2d6 and a willingness to be awesome.


Plot Summary
right-aligned image
Laser fire ricochets down the corridor, adding flashes of neon blue to the already eye-searing strobing red warning lights that illuminate the ship's halls. The repetitive wail of the alarm is not enough to drown out the screams of the unfortunate crew as THE HORROR FROM BEYOND THE STARS continues its bloody rampage. No one is safe from its terrible claws, its vicious fangs, and its ravenous hunger, all of which are totally 100% believable and not a cheap rubber suit that the prop department threw together at the last minute.

Our heroes crouch behind a convenient pile of crates, plotting their next move. This is the decisive moment. They have one chance to destroy this HORROR FROM BEYOND THE STARS before it destroys them.

"We'll have to kill this thing quickly-- I have a date with a lovely space princess in half an hour that I'd hate to miss," quips the charming space spy Dirk Roguelike. Despite having survived a fiery explosion less that ten minutes ago, his hair remains absolutely perfect and his space tuxedo is somehow even more attractive when slightly charred.

"Keep yer fancy pants on," growls the resident muscleman Slab Bulkhead. He has an entire motorcycle balanced on his shoulder, which he has been using as a bludgeoning weapon for the past half hour. No one is sure when or how he got it, but damn it looks cool. "Eagle-Eye won't let us down."

Eagle-Eye Hawks, the weapons expert (and by "weapons" we mean "guns" and by "guns" we mean "lots and lots of them") looks up from her favorite space-revolver; the one left to her by the mysterious Space King of Gun-Fu after she beat him in a space gunfight. In space.

"I've only got one bullet left," she says dramatically, the warning lights reflecting in the aviator sunglasses she wears even in the darkness of space. Nobody mentions the fact that she had an entire montage of loading ammo for the seventeen other weapons on her person. "But luckily for us... I only need one shot."

A dramatic musical sting!

Eagle-Eye takes aim, the HORROR FROM BEYOND THE STARS prepares to lunge--

"CUT!! CUT!!!

left-aligned image
The alarms cut out and the "spaceship" is illuminated by harsh florescent lighting. The actors slump in their spots, looking grim.

"What kinda garbage is this?" the director demands, marching onto the movie set. "I've seen better dramatic acting from a cereal box! Where's the PASSION?! The PIZAZZ? The STAR POWER?!"

Dirk clears his throat awkwardly, raising a hand.

"We, uh, we'd probably do better if we had an actual script, sir," he says timidly, all traces of his suave British accent gone. "Maybe if we put less of the budget towards pyrotechnics, the studio could afford writers..?"

"Our film studio is called 'RADICAL STUNT-SPLOSION PICTURES', not 'Talky Writey Word Movies!'" The director gestures to the poster on the wall, which indeed bears that company name. Their logo is a tiger on a skateboard doing a radical jump over an erupting volcano. It used to be a lion until MGM threatened to sue.

"We can't work without a script!" argues Slab. "Either you hire writers or we all quit!"

The director scoffs.

"Come on" he says. "You don't mean that."

‐---------‐----------------------------------------------

"Wow," says the stunt coordinator two days later as he enters an empty set devoid of actors. "I guess they really meant it."

The director huffs in annoyance.

"Well FINE then. I'll just get BETTER actors! People with pizazz and real star power! People who don't NEED a script to tell an amazing story!"

"It's time for..."

AN OPEN CASTING CALL


About the Game
right-aligned image
Welcome to Lights! Camera! Action!, an ACTION MOVIE WORLD: FIRST BLOOD campaign! Action Movie World (AMW) is a Powered by the Apocalypse game where you play actors creating the most AWESOME action B-movie known to mankind. The "actor" part generally takes a backseat to the "character"-- You don't need to worry about camera angles or acting contracts: You just need to decide if it's more awesome for you to enter the room by jumping through the window in slo-mo or kicking the door so hard that it explodes. In the intro post above, consider the portion above the Director's CUT to be an example of the standard AMW game session.

This is a beginner-friendly game, and no experience with AMW or Powered by the Apocalypse is needed to apply. I've only played AMW once, but that one time was so much fun that I immediately bought the PDF so I could run it myself. I'm willing to teach it to anyone who wants to learn. The game mechanics are pretty simple: You have an array of stats that help you do things like Stunts (jump out of the way of the speeding automobile!) and Witty One-Liners ("Insert car-based pun here!") Roll 2d6 and add whatever stat bonus applies. If you get higher than a 10, you automatically succeed with flying colors (You nimbly dive out of the way of the car and your hair remains unruffled!) If you roll between 7 and 9, you succeed with a complication (You avoid the car, but now it's headed towards the old abandoned Explosion Factory! Quick, we gotta do something before more EXPLOSIONS happen!). If you get a 6 or under, you fail (You get hit in dramatic slow motion and roll over the windshield! Oh no, your perfect face now has a cut on one eyebrow, but luckily you're still hot!).


Applications and ExpectationsI'm hoping for a post rate of once per week. This will start as a shorter, one-shot type campaign that has potential to continue if so desired. Our one-shot will be a Sci-Fi movie, though AMW has rules for other types as well that we'll have the option to explore should the players decide that RADICAL STUNT-SPLOSION PICTURES deserves more blockbuster hits.

Auditions close on October 18!

Applications
left-aligned image
In AMW, you are an actor who is playing a character. While most of the game will focus on the character and the movie plot, and therefore the majority of the application will focus on the character, we still need to know a little about the person underneath the stage makeup! After all, we gotta put SOMETHING on the movie poster to draw in the viewers!

Actor's Name and Short Bio: Baby, you're a STAR. Name your actor and give me a very brief overview of who they are. Are you a pro at b-movies? Are you an up-and-coming musician trying to break into the film industry? A classically-trained Shakespearean actress who really should have read the script before joining this project? A washed-up has-been trying to get back in the limelight? Are you only here because your dad's funding the picture?


Ok, enough of that behind-the-scenes stuff. Now for the Character!

Character's Name: Who are you playing in this space epic?

Character's Appearance: What does this character look like? You can play into cheesy scifi as much or as little as you like. Are you a buff space soldier with a mullet (who never wears sleeves because they're not regulation for the space army)? A totally-believable robot who is totally not just a dude in silver face paint wrapped in tinfoil? A space cowboy who is literally just a cowboy in space?

Playbook: Pick a playbook from the list below. Your playbook is your class and will be the basis of your character's theme and abilities.

Character Overview: Give me a brief overview of your character in this movie. Who are you? What makes you awesome? Are you the lone wolf space biker out to learn the true meaning of friendship? The half-robot, half-dinosaur mercenary looking for her next big job? The lost prince of the space ninja kingdom?

Audition Tape: Ok, here's the fun part. Give me an RP sample showing off your b-movie acting chops. Write a brief scenario from one of the scene prompts below, or make up your own!

1) Oh no, the alien zombie horde is heading straight for the PUPPY ORPHANAGE! What do you do?

2) The evil space emperor has captured your lovable sidekick character! He will throw them out the airlock unless you surrender the Space McGuffin! What's your next move?

3) Quick, your luxury suite has been sabotaged! You're locked in and the room is slowly filling up with deadly space poison! How will you escape?

4) This looks bad, team! You're outnumbered and outgunned on an enemy space station! Your only hope is for someone to trigger the self-destruct mechanism in the station's core. What do you do?


 


IMPORTANT HOUSE RULES AND STUFFAs a reminder, all apps and posts must conform to RPGX's PG-13 and other content rules. We're here for the "cheesy stunts, unrealistic physics, corny lines, slow-mo explosions, and the awesome power of hi-fives with your buddies" parts of bargain-bin movies.

Also, while AMW has rules for romantic relationships and Love Scenes, especially regarding the Smooth Operator playbook (it's basically James Bond. It goes without saying), we're keeping it PG here, space bards.

What's the feel for me trying out playing one of the villains for this movie? (Thinking Count Dooku or someone similar)

The game system is more designed to be a team effort rather than PVP, so I'm leaning towards no. You can, however, make an anti-hero type character though.

And that brings up a few good points about the game mechanics: Action Movie World is designed to behave like a movie. The villain either dies at the end or maybe gets away to set up for a sequel, and the big bad villain is only truly defeated by the main character.

Once players are selected, we'll have a big session zero to decide how your characters relate to each other, what kind of sci-fi scenario we want to do, and who will be the main character. This is an actual mechanic in the game system: Every movie needs a main character, and this sets up rules for all players.

The Main Character:

- The Main Character cannot die. They can be hurt, temporarily defeated, etc, but it would be a pretty lame film if the lead character died halfway through the movie. So you gotta stay alive for the plot's sake.

- The Main Character must land the final blow on the main villain in order to truly defeat them. Everybody on the team has to chip in, but only you can push that detonator/land the final punch/fire the last missile. Preferably while giving a one-liner.

Everyone Else:
- Your characters can potentially die, but that's not the end! In addition to being a dramatic moment in the film to spur the other characters to avenge you, your actor will stop being a character and instead become assistant director on the film! That means you become like a secondary DM-- You get to pick an area of expertise from a list and can then chime in to give the other actors suggestions for actions. If they take your suggestion, they can make their next dice roll with advantage.

Hmmm. I'm thinking of a "Funny" Sidekick. A guy who is GOING TO DIE. He's the main hero's friend. They served in THE WAR (Do not use any real wars as it would date the movie!). He's a decent solider, (not as good as the main hero of course) and he's always making with the ha ha's! He is getting pretty close to 'giving this whole job up and retiring with his beloved girlfriend, "Mindy". He will not shut up about her. The hero may meet Mindy during the Sidekick's funeral. And they will enjoy a bit of PG13 love-making (all in the shadows where the two will be played by uncredited extras!) with a slow saxxy sax music playing in the background.

When he dies (not if), he will provide a few bonuses to the main hero. When the hero is about to be defeated by the main villain (or second in command heavy), the hero will remember his dead friend and maybe a random quote he once said and that will give him just enough strength to defeat his foe!

Working on a sheet soon..Just throwing ideas around..I want to see who the main will be.

He might look like this:




Sax music - >

@TacoBob: Heck yeah, that's totally a doable character for this system. I'll have to double-check when I have the rulebook in front of me, but I'm pretty sure the Smartass playbook has a feature called Smiling Through the Pain that would suit the character well.

I'm going to see The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai across the Eighth Dimension this weekend to get inspiration, but I'm envisioning a Thespian who's giving the performance of their life because their kid is a big fan of the source material/franchise/genre, shades of Raul Julia doing Street Fighter.

This sounds amazing! Definitely color me interested. But I must object to one thing: why is there no playbook for “the Mary-Sue”?

Actor's Name and Short Bio: Katie Wu. I've graduated from the Disney Junior Club TV shows, and even a supporting role in yet another High School Musical as "that Asian girl sidekick", and am looking to break into the big time movies. They need me to have Kung-Fu skills, which I don't have, but this chance has come up. It is my first major co-starring role (alongside the big name action dude), and maybe my big opportunity? Will my acting skills shine through and people will take me seriously, you know, like Michelle Yeoh? Or will I forever be playing a Kung-Fu girl? I'm training hard to make it look real...

Character's Name: Kala, a runaway/exile alien princess from Venus who looks extremely human (except the pointed ears), and of course instantly falls in love with the Main Character.

Character's Appearance: WIP but see right. I think you get the idea...

Playbook: Pugilist, with alien Kung-Fu skills!

Character Overview: The lost princess of the space ninja kingdom

Here is what I have so far. Everything is suited to change.

Actor's Name and Short Bio:
Grampton “Grampy” St. Rumpterfrabble. Grampton, or “Grampy” as his fans call him, was born to the famous Rumpterfrabble family located in Manchester England. Grampton's life changed when he watched Saunterblugget Hampterfuppinshire play all the characters in “Make Our Garden Grow” at Whimpley Town Theater. Grampton decided he would become an beloved stage actor! When he was of age, he attended and graduated the prestigious London Academy of Music and Dramatic Arts. Roles for all the great plays fell his way along with all the great awards, like the Laurence Olivier Award, The Stage Award, and even an 'Tosser', which was awarded to the actor best able to 'toss themselves into a role'. Grampton later found out, it was a fake award made to make fun of him. His friends set up a rather complex and expensive award show just to “Take The Mickey Out Of Him”. After conquering the British stage, Grampton looked to America to become a great Hollywood actor! This was harder than he had expected. Grampton was not the most handsomest of men. He had already started balding when he turned 21. He soon found himself playing butlers, irascible coxswains and that time he played an Indian Chief for a movie he managed to get flack over for reasons. Thankfully he soon would find the role of a lifetime! He would play jokey sidekick P.J. “Chuckles” Rickenbacker, the goofy sidekick for an upcoming action/romance/comedy movie! This will get him the fame he wanted! This will lead to more proper rolls! Ones that will give him awards! So Grampton took a class to learn the same Southern accents all British actors use when playing a American! This fame he would gain in this movie would open up doors to movies better suited for his skills!

Character's Name: P.J. “Chuckles” Rickenbacker,

Character's Appearance: P.J has curly red hair, a rocking mustache and a pair of sunglasses he wears ALL THE TIME. (Please note, the actor wears a wig to portray this character. This wig will sometimes fall off in random parts of the movie and this will never be edited out as the director ONLY DOES ONE TAKE! This not not be 'noticed' by the other characters who will all wait patiently as P.J. picks up his wig and puts it back on.) P.J usually wears a pair of jeans, jean shirt, and jean jacket. His pajamas are also jeans.

Playbook: The SMARTASS. His jokes hide his pain!

Character Overview: P.J. Served with (insert hero or side hero) during the WAR. After saving (insert hero or side hero)'s life during a rather epic fight scene, the pair became instant best friends! They later joined forces in more epic jobs and wars! P.J. Is known for cracking both the wise and jokes during the least suitable moments. At the time of the movie, he was dating Mindy Darling, and he would swear that he was going to marry that girl and raise a family with her! He suffers from ptsd. The director decided they would portray this with grainy B/W footage from WWII for some reason. While P.J. groans in the background ever so dramatically. Sometimes P.J. slips into an British accent when he forgets to maintain his 'southern' accent. He will say "Go To Hospital" like an polite caveman.

Side Note, when dealing with Kristina Chang, he will sometimes say, "Well, EXCUSE ME PRINCESS" and turn and face the camera with a goofy smile as this may have been funny at one time. I don't believe it, but people tell me it was.

Audition Tape:

“P.J.”, growled a rugged and very handsome man evil men called “Danger”, and the babes called, "Yes, please.”. It was Jimmy “Savage” Townhastle and he was sitting in the back seat of his 1989 Turbo Trans Am. “Stop admiring yourself and cool shades in the rear view mirror and keep your eye on the road! If we don't rescue the President's DNA before noon, the whole planet is going to explode!”

P.J. “Chuckles” Rickenbacker stopped running his comb through his incredible head of hair only to shout out in alarm. “Watch out Jimmy! Ninjas!”

Sure enough, at the bus stop, there were evil ninjas! B.J. Let out a gasp when he saw that the leader Ninja was holding a small, glowing green flask! “It's the president's DNA! Look Jimmy!”

P.J. Slammed on his breaks, which ejected Jimmy into the crowd of ninjas! Thankfully both he and his fists were ready for Ninja face! And in seconds, nearly all of the ninjas were knocked out.

“Watch out Jimmy!”, P.J. Called out. The leader ninja was not completely defeated. Unforgettably for the Ninja Boss, Jimmy “Savage” Townhastle was NEVER surprised. And after a roundhouse kick, the Ninja leader found himself. TOWNHASTLED!

“You also saved us!”, it was a group of bodacious babes, the Swedish Bikini Team! They surrounded Jimmy and covered him in kisses. “But what about the president's DNA!”, P.J. Whined.

“What about it?”, Jimmy quipped as the babes continued to kiss him. This caused the whole group to break out in laughter!

I'll be taking 4 to 5 players depending on interest, and I don't mind if we have different characters using the same Playbook if that's how things turn out. "Party balance" really isn't a thing in AMW, and there are enough abilities per playbook that they won't be exact duplicates of each other. In this game system, think less about "is this idea mechanically-sound and logical," and more about "is this idea stupid enough to be awesome?"


I'm loving what I'm seeing so far for apps and character ideas!

As a side note, I'm sure everyone already knows this, but any romantic relationships between PCs will need to be Ok'd by all players involved. We can also have a Lines and Veils checklist in the Session Zero in case anyone has any other content concerns.
