Seeing that other thread a ton of idea's came to me for a simple, yet hilarious game, based around Godfrey Ho's ninja movies of the 1980s

these insanities. (and if you hear a song you recognize in there, yes they blatantly stole it)

anyways, it's a small game, meant for a few people, you control a few ninja's who's stats are on small cards (everything one needs to know about them is there, and on the back-I'll have a quick reference)
before the game, you draw 3 cards, and these are the ninja's "hidden" weapons he can use at any time (little crossbows, pistols, harmful smokebombs, weighted chains, small axes, shields etc) each having a different rule.
Turn begins with a sort of priority roll, each ninja rolling for it (in games of 2 people) and perhaps each player in games larger?
Each ninja then rolls for actions, and records that on the sheet, (d6) and those are the actions he can use that turn (moving, firing an assault rifle, charging, basic ninja stuff)
I'm still ironing out the rules for flips and rolling...
I most likely will end up giving the rules away for free, since the idea's were taken from someone else (who stole them from many other people)...
Who's to say...

So that's that so far, any suggestions?

More ninjas? I'm kidding, sounds fun, almost like munchkin with dice. And more logical cards. But then munchkin is one of the only board games I've played that isn't monopoly, so I'm sure there are more appropriate parallels. I just meant you get equipment cards and put them on your guys who already have stats, etc.

I mean I could apply that base to any game like that, doesn't have to be ninjas
But Munchkin was an inspiration. most definitely

I also had a few supplement idea's, like Space ala Turkish Star Wars, hilarious insanity ala The Dragon Lives Again and post apocalypse like Mad Max and Fist of the North Star- not all that much added for each, I'm rapping out the details.

I think this will be fun.

so have been writing furiously, and decided the shooting, the combat, movement, the basic junk. Haven't worked out a points system. Had a rough idea of a total model design for a more open game (cause perhaps not everyone likes ninjas).
But the base-with the wargear-esque cards and the way combat and shooting work will stay the same across the board.
