Binge Watching and RPG Ideas - Mon 07/08/17 01:40 UTC
I spent a little over a week not able to do much except binge watch television shows.
As I did, I could not help but think that some of them would make outstanding game ideas.
Ones like:
MY OWN WORST ENEMY
The series followed the life of American secret agent Edward Albright and his cover, Henry Spivey, who had no knowledge of his double life. Albright, played by Christian Slater, was implanted with a chip allowing his handlers to physically switch Albright's personality to that of his cover. However, in the pilot episode, there was a malfunction which caused Albright's personalities to switch at random, revealing his secret life to his alias. Henry was then thrown into the highly dangerous life of Edward, with no real way for the two to communicate except through short cell phone video messages.
This looks like it has potential for a few players who, after a mission, find their chips malfunctioning.
It could be fun with PCs waking up and always wondering "How did I get here?"

Though if it works for you, go for it. I will probably watch Officer Downe just because.
