What is the most campy sci-fi setting ever? What could we do

Thinking about it, if you do end up arming your astronauts for whatever reason, a setup where the gun's recoil points through their center of mass actually makes a lot of sense.

Probably it's Star Wars

Maybe not campy, but Red Dwarf is a sci-fi setting that definitely doesn't get enough love.

>>46412170
Barbarella
Flash Gordon
Blade Runner
Captain EO

>>46412488
Blade Runner isn't 'Campy'. Barbarella and Flash Gordon yes. Blade Runner - not so much.

XXV shows that is was possible to make a non campy Buck Rogers. I would go with Space 1999. A show that tried to be serious but broke so many laws of physics that it wasn't possible to be taken seriously.

This movie was the greatest, most perfect piece of cinematography ever generated. You have good taste, friend.

My friend shits on it so hard as a raging Bond fan, but looking at that webm I don't know wha his problem is

>>46413611
It's certainly not one of the greats but it has a cool villain and some nice action
A damn sight better than Octopussy at least
Only really got made to cash in on the post-Star Wars craze in 1977, so it was rushed and sloppy overall

Star Cops.
At first you might think it's a realistic setting that just seems campy due to cheap effects and a Moody Blues theme song. But then the space mafia, arab ninjas, Space Station Ronald Reagan, and secret evil clones start showing up.

There isn't that much worldbuilding done in the movie, you would have to create a lot.

>if you do end up arming your astronauts for whatever reason

Cosmonauts used to have triple-barrel shotgun/rifle combiguns in their emergency kits, albeit for the event they land in the middle of Siberia and have to fend off angry bears and hunt for food while waiting for pickup.

I think they still use a pistol of some sort.

>>46417661
>What does campy mean?
Camp is when the designers or producers of a movie (usually a movie, sometimes other forms of media) sacrifice realism for humor, sometimes absurdist-level humor. They realize their special effects are cheesy and unrealistic, and characters might even comment on this.

If you haven't watched Barbarella, do so (and then read the comics the movie was based on). Once you do, you'll see how it's different from a conventional sci-fi movie.

That would be a bit of a bummer to survive space only to land and get killed by a wild animal when you land on earth.

They also had prototype laser pistols, apparently designed to shoot out enemy optical systems.

Hey, I was just saying. I didn't say it was a bad thin.

>>46413843
Aside from the sound effects though, thats a really well made and somewhat realistic space fight for the time.

>>46418410

It doesn't explain anything about the future being different because it wasn't very different than now. Cab driver, army, bureaucracy, passports, cruise ships, wacky black people, love is the magic. Shit's not complicated.

>>46412406
It really doesn't.
I should scan my copies of the RPG books for it and make PDFs.

I just need to dig the books out from boxes, but I have the Core rulebook, The Series Guidebook, and the AI Screen with EBB (I got the AI Screen as an edgy teen, so I gave Holly some crappy tattoos).

>>46412170
Am I the only one who finds this scenario... kind of horrific in retrospect? I dunno, there's something about getting your oxygen pump severed and suffering explosive decompression/asphyxiating/ burning up on re-entry/getting un-tethered and hurtled out towards the sun that seems like a really fucking horrible way to go.
>>46412647
Really? The sets and design are pretty hokey by today's standards, but that was one dark fucking show. The authoritarians ALWAYS WIN, the heroes are kind of scum bags, and everything's horrible. The fucking title character ditches the team at one point, and when they find him again he's become a broken down mercenary/bounty hunter/possibly enemy agent. The damn thing ends on a tpk, you can't get much more bleak than that.

When you think about it any sort of man to man combat in space would be terrifying. Hell any type of destructive combat. The movie Gravity and the anime Planetes did one thing very well and that is showing how easily everything is fucked in space by something as simple as bolt floating in the wrong place and the wrong time. Something the size of MIR getting ripped up could very well trap the human race on earth forever.

It's not actually very good, you could probably do a Red Dwarf game with Fate hilariously easily.

I once thought up what some of the characters' trouble aspects in that system would be for shits and giggles. It lends itself well to this sort of silly game.
