This is an old idea of mine. I never put anything on paper but it would have qualified for an entry in an old gaming notebook. I have been a fan of the Friday the 13th films since the 1980's and always wanted to do something to show my appreciation. One idea that keeps coming back to me is a board game that plays out like the basic plot of the films - a group of teenagers are staying at the camp grounds and must keep away from Jason so they can survive the night. A few thoughts about the game are presented below:
The goal of the game is to avoid the killer and escape the camp.
The game board will depict some cabins, a lake or river, baseball field, and a large wooded area.
Each player will control one token representing a different type of teenager - jock, punk, prep, country guy, etc. Each one can do something special such as hotwire a car, etc.
The killer will either be controlled by another player or by some random method in the rulebook. Of course, the killer has specials such as stealth, etc.
There will be random item and event cards to increase replay value.
Just some random ideas I needed to get out of my headed. More later...

Sounds like this could make an awesome mini-game, ala TSR's Vampyre: The Hunt for Dracula.
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely loved that sucker.
That is what I am shooting for - easy to understand rules and quick playing pickup game.
DeleteI think this would have done very well during the heyday of those films. There is a different type of slasher film now. If you could update it for those movies, it could be a success.
ReplyDeleteI agree with your comment, Darius. That gives me an excuse to have a modern slashed modern.
DeleteApparently, my phone's autocorrect needs an exorcism - I typed "that gives me an excuse to have a modern slasher marathon" instead of that jibberish above.
DeleteSounds like an awesome game. Good luck creating it!
