Yes, that is amazing.
Not quite as cool as the D&D group that made The Who, but still hilarious.

Do any of these guys have any, uh... weaknesses? Besides the bee stings and all.

>>15534518
Please tell more. I haven't heard this one before.

Also:
>near-inhuman charisma.
>Nicholas Cage.
:D

>>15534533
Haven't got a screen cap of it, but the group contained mostly bards (possibly one wizard). One enchanted a set of wands to levitate in front of him and colour coded them for easy activation. Another brought along his war drums. Each one had a strange D&D-esque name appropriate to their race which just happened to sound like a member of The Who. They ended up holding a massive concert in the middle of town (with extensive use of colour spray, mimicry, and various sound altering magics, including floating wand-keyboardist) and trollfacing the GM.

>>15534524
Mostly background weaknesses, like enemies, arrest records, shit like that.

>>15534533
That's the story so far. Every single player of mine showed up with Nicholas Cage as a character. It's a situation too stupid to have not been planned by them.

I think I'll have them fight a worthy adversary. Probably a chemical weapons expert who was part of a military attack on a prison.

>>15534481
so Con Air, Wicker Man, National Treasure, Gone in 60 Seconds and Lord of War.
Correct?

>>15534580

Have they caught on that you've caught on?

Send 'em up against baby kidnappers, orchid thieves, and eventually Fu Manchu.

>>15534605
That is correct.

>>15534613
I kept a straight face. They have no idea that I know that they're all Nicholas Cage.

I will definitely make this the most Cage-tacular adventure ever. Every stupid plot twist from his films, up to and including having faces switched, prostitutes, angels, deadly snuff film rings, and con men.

Might even end it in a gigantic Cage Match to the death; all of them trapped in a giant cage, and forced to fight for the amusement of one, final meta-Cage.

>>15534692
Definitely. Stick with the plan and keep us posted.

I lol'd at "a situation too stupid to have not been planned by them"

Ah, PCs.

Needs moar Vampire/10

Otherwise perfect

Needs more Batman expy.

throw steven seagal at them if you are feeling like countertrolling, and have all his bullshit actually work like a charm (like it does in his wonderful fabulous movies).

You MUST writefag your adventures afterwards OP.

>>15534843
It will happen. For fuck's sake, this is the basis for an entire GURPS book; GURPS Nicholas Cage.

Now, I figure since it's a major plot point, every single one of them has to have estranged daughters. What do you think is better; having them be part of a terrorist organization intent on detonating a deadly chemical bomb in New York, or being part of an ancient alien conspiracy created by the Devil in an Aztec city hidden in Northern Canada?

Have them investigate the snuff films industry.

Go on.

I guess you could go Cage-for-Cage
>Character 1: A retired Army Ranger who spent some time in prison
Maybe asked to do some consultation regarding a special agent he met during the ranger days. He's gone rogue for inexplicable reasons -- something about microfilm and history being a lie -- and is threatening a one-man chemical war against government targets.

>Character 2: A police officer, estranged from his wife and daughter
So estranges that an NPC "daughter" could show up halfway through, and spend half the campaign before they find out shes a con?

>A treasure-hunting historian with a thirst for adventure and almost ungodly levels of crypto experience.
Maybe a good place to drop in "angels among us" hints.

Character 4: A master car thief, dragged along on the adventure due to his family
Brother shows up. Thinks cult killed his girlfriend. Missing time. Worried something weird is going on. Strange dreams about rage-fueled rides, being engulfed in flames, dealing vengeance to those who've wronged him.

>Character 5: A heartlessly amoral arms dealer, with ridiculous access to firearms and near-inhuman charisma.
Black markets and secret circles tend to run together. Maybe this PC is tapped to work some of his underworld connections work a snuff film case. It's a bit beneath them, but he has a friend who has a lackey in the area who can help navigate the terrain.

The final "fuck you, you're losing everything. Now get ready to fight for your lives" final installment should start with a visit from the IRS.

>CAPTCHA: fortnsu Goodhue
That's Goodspeed!

A snuff film gang is actually a front for pagan cultists performing strange rituals on a remote island which is being channelled money by an international auto-crime ring which runs an illegal race tournament which is being funded by the Illuminati to somehow aid in their search of a lost artefact that might be the North American version of the Crystal Skull which is of course actually inside the White House as part of an alien conspiracy.

>>15535028

I am combining these two ideas to form the ultimate meta-Cage plot. I'll also try and throw in a precog-Cage for the hell of it, and maybe make them fight a stunt rider on a motorcycle whose head is made of fire.

As a big fan of the entire Cagesploitation genre I heartily approve of this campaign. Your only course of action now is to make all of your NPCs also be Nicolas Cage. That shopkeeper? Nic Cage. The police? All Nic Cage. The Big Bad? Nic Cage. Their wives, daughters and girlfriends? Also Nic Cage. Don't let them realize it too quickly though, that would take all the fun out of counter-trolling. Don't emote much when you do voices for them, except on a few occasions where you should over-emote as much as humanly possible. Make almost every male character be depressed and middle-aged, and every female character be young, hot and inexplicably attracted to depressed middle aged men.

Some NPC ideas for you:
> a jaded, balding sorcerer and his young apprentice locked in a battle with evil sorcerers
> a man who escaped from hell in order to get revenge on an evil cult
> A demonic bounty hunter who rides a motorcycle
> a young girl who may or may not be possessed by the devil and the one honest cop who is trying to get to the bottom of the case.

Make them meet a paramedic suffering from burnout for some reason.

>>15535016
Indeed. Counter with The Rock, Matchstick Men, City of Angels, Ghost Rider and 8mm.
Also, I'd have them dogged by Steven Seagal that's presenting himself as either ex-Seal, ex-cop or ex-Cia with native American roots (bonus points if all three at one time). If he gets killed by them, put him in a come for a long time then bring him back when they least expect it. Also he should be working as a chef.
Bonus bonus points if you make them stumble on Jackie Chan who actually doesn't want any trouble.

>mon fromage quand I find out Nicholas Cage real name is Nicholas Kim Coppola

This has got to be the most inexplicably awesome thing I've ever heard. Couldnt stop laughing for a solid minute. Just the fact that you've got five guys that could potentially go full psycho-cage at any moment is too good to be true.

>>15535163
Yeah, he supposedly didn't want everyone saying "he just got work because he's a Coppola." He took the name Nick Cage from Marvel comic book hero Luke Cage, the Power Man.

>>15535108
I think that, seeing as where this is going, I'll have to secretly make them alternate character sheets for Feng Shui.

All of these ideas will work. Now, I just need to describe how they meet. I'm thinking in a motel, outside of Vegas, where they find a dead alcoholic underneath a prostitute who professes her love for him. Then, they have to investigate the deadly cult which may have killed the man by following a series of clues that are encoded into simple, everyday things and require an extensive knowledge of esoterica.

Then, when they think they're doing all right, they need to steal a car and smuggle it across the border, full of illegal firearms so that they can shoot the monsters who have taken their daughters hostage.

I might also include a bunny full of microfilm, cocaine, and souls.

>>15535241
Luke "Comic Book Writers Can't Into Ebonics" Cage?

Luke "Jive Turkey Muthaflippin'" Cage?

...I like this.

OP, this is the most beautiful campaign I have ever seen.

Godspeed, good sir or madam.

(You MUST writefag about this)

>>15535302
dear god, this. A thousand times this.

This thread made my day /tg/

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aeXIoBnu2MU

This is the campaign's main theme.

i hate the movie, but the bad guy needs to be john travolta with nicholas cages face

Make this guy the BBEG.

>>15536877
FUCK
YES

>>go to submit this thread to suptg, because its excellent and made my day
>.find it already archived at the top of this list.

This is what I love you /tg/

Also bumping for 'Cagesploitation'

>>15535467

Ha ha I was just going to post that exact same video.

>>15536877
"This...is...MY MECHA!!!!"

I can only hope that, at some point, everyone in the party dresses up in bear costumes and starts punching women.

Godspeed, and you'd better damn well writefag this.

>>15536877
What movie is that from?

Well, I've adopted a trip for when I eventually run this game. I shall keep them in the dark and slowly demonstrate that yes, I know that they're all Nicholas Cage.

I will provide bear suits and have them fight off a cult of crazed women terrorists who just kidnapped the president of a cake company. Food poisoning may be involved to trick them into things. They'll then receive aid in the form of a bow-wielding weatherman with severe personality issues, should they need any help.

I will make this as Nicholas Cage as possible.

Their enemies will become their doppelgangers, and in the end, they will have to find themselves. These characters will be adrift in an ocean of doubt, fear, and confusion, seeking to discover the essence of who they truly are.

Additionally, I may incorporate elements of "The One". Partially because it was a terrible movie, and partially because I'd be amused at the existence of a nigh-omnipotent Omega-Cage.

>>15536975
This.

Also: send bees after them, OP. But wait a while, don't wanna be too obvious.

>>15537031
Please have the Omega-Cage be Nicholas Cage himself.

Also, don't forget to have them think they're vampires at some point.
