I'm having a re-listen of my episodes of The RPG Academy Film Studies. Let's see What we can up with for BROTHERHOOD OF THE WOLF.

The first suggested system is good old BRP Call of Cthulhu. We thought the movie's mystery would fit right in the Cthulhu Mythos.

Since we recorded this episode, released Reign of Terror.
https://www.drivethrurpg.com/en/product/221418/&affiliate_id=1289000

I haven't read it but I'd assume it features anything someone would need to run a mystery along the path of BROTHERHOOD OF THE WOLF.

I really like Camille's game suggestion to adapt BROTHERHOOD OF THE WOLF: Loups-garous de Thiercelieux aka The Werewolves of Miller's Hollow aka just Werewolf (but not the Apocalypse).

A little hack/reskin and the game would be about finding the Gevaudan beast's handler.

Rolistespod OP ,
@Rolistespod@dice.camp avatar

Third, we jokefully suggested to adapt BROTHERHOOD OF THE WOLF using Legend of the Five Rings.
Actually, in hindsight, it's not a bad idea to use as it combines themes and mechanics for investigation, intrigue, nobility and even martial arts.

Sometimes, I feel like I try too hard promoting my podcast shows. Then, enthusiastic TTRPG folks tell they haven't heard about them. 🤷

So, here's a thread for The RPG Academy Film Studies.
https://rolistespod.com/podcast?cat=film-studies

I love our one line reviews.

Do you agree with these?

What's yours?

Rolistespod OP ,
@Rolistespod@dice.camp avatar

BROTHERHOOD OF THE WOLF

2⭐ It's a very long very French film that goes on a little too long and it's...
...it was something.

2⭐ A cheesy bodice ripping comic drama but nonetheless an enjoyable one but far too long.

3⭐ Homo homini lupus. Man is wolf to man.

3⭐ A fun action movie about secret societies in a cool period drama but it's held back by some utterly tasteless decisions and entirely an hour too long.

2/x

Rolistespod OP ,
@Rolistespod@dice.camp avatar

@neilnjae when we recorded this episode, we could only find the extended director's cut.

I'd really recommend to chase the better paced (as far as I remember) theatrical cut.

😉

Rolistespod OP ,
@Rolistespod@dice.camp avatar

@glenatron it made me want to attempt running Call of Cthulhu adventures using Feng Shui.

Rolistespod OP ,
@Rolistespod@dice.camp avatar

ARMOUR OF GOD 2
(Three Low-stats Bards & a Min-max Monk)

3⭐ Jackie Chan's attempt at making an Indiana Jones film. It's not his worst. It's not his best. But it's still a fun movie.

3⭐ It taught me that Indiana Jones should have kicked more people in the face.

3.5⭐ The movie does blow away people in the end!

@Illuminatus Armour of God 2?

The embassy bits or the motorbike chase? 😮

Rolistespod OP ,
@Rolistespod@dice.camp avatar

@Illuminatus cool.

Makes me want to rewatch it.

Rolistespod OP ,
@Rolistespod@dice.camp avatar

DELICATESSEN
(Butchers & Feelings)

4.5⭐ Much like in Super Mario, when in doubt pipes lead you out.

4⭐ A dark film with cannibalism, suicide attempts, murder in an apocalypse that manages to create crazy characters in an already crazy world.

5⭐ A most savoury story with a sweet conclusion

@greenWhale I like to come up with TTRPG-inspired quirky tag line for each movie we cover.

I think you're the first one to comment on one of them. 😅

Rolistespod OP ,
@Rolistespod@dice.camp avatar

EL DÍA DE LA BESTIA
(In Nomine Satanis / Christmas Veritas)

3⭐ Join us, a corrupted priest, an ass*** metalhead and a psychic fraud in their search for Satan!

4⭐ Going chaotic evil with lawful good motivations.

4⭐ It's a roleplaying adventure gone wrong.

@Glupinickname thanks. That means a lot.

I indeed try to pick stuff which I found meaningful to my geeky journey but rather out of the well trodden path.

However, here a couple of bigger ones I should get around recording. 😏

You can find the above and more at https://rolistespod.com/podcast?cat=film-studies

I'd love to read your thoughts on episodes you listen to.

Rolistespod OP ,

@Glupinickname Having Alex de la Iglesia on the show is one of my life goals.

I even already decided upon what movie I'd like to review and who I'd like as second guest but... 🤫

Rolistespod OP ,
@Rolistespod@dice.camp avatar

GROUNDHOG DAY
(He can raise his skill stats...
...again and again.)

5⭐ From Lvl 1 to Epic Tier 20 in less than 24h!

5⭐ 10,000 years to finally get your PC to change alignments.

5⭐ Exploring the 5 stages of grief, the comedy - the movie.

You see Adso, finding this Rosewood Abbey tome of wisdom wasn't such a riddle, I just followed the clues to Hall 1 stall 856. There I found the UK Indie League, which provided me with the subject of our quest.

I got a dozen copies left to ship and I'm done with all the pre-orders.

Thanks for your patience and enthusiasm towards Rosewood Abbey.

It's so exciting to see shipment status update to "delivered", especially copies that travelled across the Atlantic and Pacific.

Seeing your pics is even better.
