WFRP, but that was an experienced group with a good chunk of XP to buy exciting careers. I wouldn't read into it, normally I'd be inclined to agree with you wrt. CoC being better-suited.
No, but I have spent the past year and change running a campaign that is (quietly) set in the world of Queen's Blade. I don't THINK any of my players have figured it out yet, though there have been some close calls involving Melona.
The 13th Warrior. It is a deeply flawed movie that is nevertheless awesome and well worth watching.
Short version is that it’s based on a Michael Crichton novel that he wrote when one of his students dared him to make Beowulf interesting. And also I guess Crichton was on a desert kick at the time because the lead character is an actual famous Muslim traveller, Ahmad ibn Fadlan (played by Antonio Banderas in the movie).
most southern spaniards have enough arab genes a moroccan wouldn't look at them twice if they dressed the part, which makes sense considering most people choose to convert to islam and then back to christianity instead of dying during al andalus and the reconquista, so they ended up mixing a lot (muladies were way more numerous than mozarabes)
The line from it that stuck with my group is after him going nuts and killing a beastguy the other dude just saying "It's all right, little brother... there are more!"
>Lo there do I see my mother. >Lo there do I see my brothers and my sisters. >Lo there do I see the line of my people back to the beginning. >Lo they do call to me. >They bid me take my place among them in the Halls of Valhalla. >Where the brave may live forever.
It wasn't planned, but thanks to that /tg/ table of random junk, Taylor from Planet of the Apes is a major npc in a campaign with a similar theme (awakened animals vs humans). Does that count?
I have run The Mummy two times roughly as-is, once using Call of Cthulhu and another time using Warhammer Fantasy Roleplaying 2e.
Which system worked better?
I would guess CoC, but I don't need to guess if there's empirical evidence.

Quietly? How does that work? You have an equipment degradation mechanic, but keep the lewd implications on the downlow?
No OP, nobody ever did that.
And we don't have a movie older than you about doing just that.
what flick?

there are zero flaws in the 13th warrior besides a lack of breasts and the casting is fricking amazing
Oh my god, where is that pic from?
>Spaniards aren't white
>Unless they're conquering Mexico
I sure do wish Anglos and israelites could stick to one.
>when you've got a word count to meet
>because they both have brown skin
Has he ever been to Spain?
>Has he ever been to Spain?
Well, I never been to Spain
But I kinda like the music
Say the ladies are insane there
And they sure know how to use it
Why a spaniard to play an arab?
same reason a slav plays a nordic hero king, they were good for the role

>dared him to make Beowulf interesting
Sounds like the student was moronic.

I dare you not to finish this in your head
>Lo, there do I see my father.
>Lo there do I see my mother.
>Lo there do I see my brothers and my sisters.
>Lo there do I see the line of my people back to the beginning.
>Lo they do call to me.
>They bid me take my place among them in the Halls of Valhalla.

The first campaign I played someone in the party was playing Kappa Mikey who was sent back in time and was seeking to become a lich
Star Wars. All the time.
braindead moron
What, you didn't know Star Wars was a fantasy film? Because it is.

I played an expy of the Captain from Hellsing recently
I dread the day where my players realize that 90% of my NPCs are expies from 80s movies.
The other 10% are a mix of two characters from 80s movies.
And if it counts, I used Luke Skywalker in a Star Wars game to give a mission to the players
