Current Worst Game Idea:

[roseembolism]

Comes from my continual mishearing of a name. It sounded something like this:

"The Camorra family is on good terms with the Gandalf, but the Runorata are fighting them for control over the area."

So the idea is Middle Earth, where the Mages are immortal alchemists, and they've divided the world up into competing crime families, ala Baccano. It would be a wild tangle between Mafioso assassins, explosive-tossing street gangs, shadowy information brokers, and immortals. And of course the most accomplished and ruthless alchemists of all have their armies of homonculi that are only seen in the shadows, but are still known as elves and orcs...

Behind the pastoral background, shadowy figures make deals and go to war. Because a life of crime CAN go on forever.

This actually strikes me as a pretty *good* game idea, frankly. With bonus nicknames!

But they all fear the ARMSTRONG FAMILY, enforcers of justice, using alchemical techniques handed down through their family line for GENERATIONS!!!

I want to hug the hell out of Armstrong, forever. He is such a wonderful dweeb.

You must include Issac and Miria!

Well, Feng Shui RPG isn't bad at all. :) Though it could be if it included elves and orks... ;)
