The characters, their interactions, the fact that it's Joss "cucklord" Whedon. It's very RPGish.

>>51496302
This movie is a classic example of an oblivious player and a passive-aggressive GM. The GM told him to make a character that works for a mystic martial arts movie, and he shows up with a trucker. But rather than talk to him about making a more fitting character, the GM just keeps being a dick to him.

>Truck gets stolen after he spent the whole first session talking about it
>"I fire off a few rounds to get everyone pumped up" -roll- "Rocks fall and hit your head, you're stunned for 3 rounds"
>"Oh man, I have these special boots I can store my knife in and push it down to stab the dude who's about to chop me up" "Okay, but he falls on you, make a strength check to push him off"

Of course, the GM can't ignore how he does stack a very high reflex score, the magic potion, and a great roll to catch the knife and throw it back, so he does kill the villain fair and square, and then realizes he wasn't the hero the whole time when he doesn't kiss Gracie at the end. So it all ends well

>>51509093
Legend of Lodoss Wars. An honest to goodness hero's journey.

>>51507248
Andromeda is reasonably rpgish, even if plot gets convoluted in later sessions and you can tell they spent all their budget on this one cave... which now I think about it makes it even more rpgish- as more plot happens / doesnt tie up too well depending on pcs, and you use the minis because theyre the only ones you have.

Also cute android waifu.

>>51509093
Record of Lodoss War. A show that is a) Clearly a D&D campaign, and b) was clearly put together by the force of its creators' love for it and a budget that wouldn't get them a ham sandwich. Especially towards the end there's a funny effect where you can tell the money ran out because the animation goes BADLY downhill but they weren't willing to sacrifice art quality so it's just less... animated, relying a lot on stills and slow pans with only small bits of actual change. The characters are very solid, but at times feel rushed just like the plot because I'm pretty sure they literally didn't have the episodes to show all of what they wanted to show.

And yet it is so earnest, with so much good will and creative care backing it up, that it's way more of a timeless classic than many productions with far more polish. Do yourself a favor and give it a watch.

Conan the Destroyer. Conan the Barbarian is the epic backstory that the roleplayer at the table (playing Conan of course) turned in with some input from Subotai and Akiro. But then Subotai's player had to leave before the first session and was replaced by the "funny man" who rolled up Malak. Zula wasn't a real late add (though she missed session 1), she just didn't collaborate in on Conan's epic backstory.

>>51496302
>things I need to watch again
>the thread
Guardians of the Galaxy reminds me of Rogue Trader in some ways.

Also of a game in a custom setting my GM ran that had us all basically playing terrorists and other criminals (long story). We ended up sneaking 3 of us into a work camp. One got in trouble and my giant cyborg lizardman (think Saurus but smarter and) drew the prize of carrying out the execution. So I pretended to be shy about eating him in front of everyone, took him into the nearest outhouse and stuffed him down the hole so he could make his escape. He later returned because we forgot the part about the outside being full of radiation, and was dying, which got me killed when all hell broke loose.

Our 3rd party member inside decided to retire from crime and keep working in the machine shop since he was pretty good at the job.

Okay I guess that isn't really like any movies, but I already typed it so whatever.

Lodss is an oldschool fantasy anime that's based on a book (based on a DnD play report published in a Japanese RPG magazine), so it doesn't really have the modern moeblob harem bullshit.

I'm not arguing that it doesn't fit, but I can already tell you that I've had Star Wars RPG campaigns that were by far more entertaining.

>>51514701
Yeah, it's more a product of its' time. Like, iirc (and it's been a few years, mind), there's gay and lesbian characters here and there, but the main characters/plot just accept them and move on without any major virtue signalling or any bullshit like that. The worst of it, really, is that some of the costumes and things (very occasionally) look like they came from a combined furry bdsm club, but with a focus on aliens rather than anthros.

There's a few cringey moments, but overall it's pretty tops.

>>51512104
Virtually none. The entire thing was made back in the late 90's and early 2000's.
Even being a /pol/ack myself I never witnessed anything to make me cringe.
There's a few tiny instances but they feel in-character, they're over and done with in thirty seconds or less, and are not even really annoying, compared to modern series where the character's might as well turn to the camera and say "If you don't agree with what I am saying you're a bad person".

Never go into a Japanese movie under the pretense it's anything other than what you're watching right then and there.

It's a great show. The best sci-fi series in recent years, for sure.

>the Expanse
Lawful Good captain, murderhobo engineer, a texan trying and failing to rp an indian guy, and a vaguely black girl with an undercut that is the smartest about everything.
