I'd like to see a Sega vs. Capcom Fighting Game crossover in the style of Marvel v. Capcom or Street Fighter v. Tekken etc. Or something involving SNK or Bandai Namco... such big libraries of video game characters... I could get lost in the roster of dozens and dozens of potential matchups using...

Random game franchise idea would be setting Japanese RPG style Final Fantasy (or Breath of Fire for you Capcom fans of taste out there) type game in various Western Fantasy settings. There's always been a marked difference between JRPG style games in themes, atmosphere, and settings/plot...

Of course the Original Dirty Dozen were almost all criminals in the film, with the exception of Major Reisman and Sergeant Bowren who commanded and trained the squad of convicts on their near suicide missions. Not sure if I can think of enough Golden Age felons that could fill out an entire...

Year One stories are often some of the best obviously when it comes to potential plot nuggets... and it works well with crossovers as well, with the understandable drawback that you don't have all of the actual canon history to fall upon directly, but still can indirectly as inspiration for the...

Never really got into films like Rocketeer and The Phantom IIRC when I tried re-watching them again, might've just been too campy/dated for me. But The Shadow was still entertaining IMHO. The main downside of Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow was the absolutely obscene lack of flying about...

The Burroughs stories featured Space Feudalism as well. I'm not saying Battletech wasn't inspired by Dune (maybe it was in this respect) but Space Feudalism Noble Houses seems more broad to me inspiration wise then say, Mutant Space Navigators.

You can be inspired by Feudalism in Space tropes independent of Dune.

The important thing is whatever works to facilitate the story that's trying to be told. Battletech not having artificial gravity shouldn't be seen as a hangup impeding it being included in crossovery fiction. It can likely be largely ignored, or even a part of the post-crossover lore building to...

Babylon 5 had a setting where some species had artificial gravity and others were still using harnesses (Narn) or rotating sections (Earth Alliance) so I really don't see it as a super big deal.

Doesn't seem like that big of a lore issue IMHO. Unless it's a significant plot point in one of the episodes it could be retconned away easily enough.

So it'd be like a post-apocalyptic planet bounch Battletech setting but with a lot of the Fallout style atmosphere since there's a bit of similarity between the settings?

This thread requires a bumping. Since much of Battletech's universe is underexplored there is room for expansion into encountering strange new worlds and alien civilizations ranging from Mass Effect's aliens to the System Lords/Goa'uld from Stargate (poor Snakes). The other neat idea for...

Many moons ago, back when Game of Thrones was considered an amazing television show, there were loads of amazing fan theories... and fan videos on YouTube as well, deducing all sorts of type of stuff. And one of the videos I recall seeing was theorycrafting on the origins of the various species...

I'd like to see Fallout USA versus Wolfenstein Germany... maybe throw in Red Alert Soviet Union for maximum lulz.

Man in the High Castle and the Draka series did have room for interdimensional hijinks, so there is a great deal of potential for WW2 themed crossovers in that regard... plus with other similar universes like that of Wolfenstein or the earlier Red Alert games or even stuff like Deep Blue Fleet...

Robert Howard and HP Lovecraft were buddies. So the idea already had seeds planted in the original canon.

Yeah that could be one side effect. And Replicants could be a natural choice to replace Terminators since unlike Terminators, Replicants have a built in control in that they die off after a few years (and also they aren't hooked into a worldwide malicious computer program that can build more of...

Predator would be easy to place in the Universe since it takes place earlier then the other settings. With Terminator, the time travel shenanigans seem to keep pushing Skynet and Judgment Day back. The other ironic thing is that Terminator could work as a post-post apocalypse since the world...

nBSG would synch nicely since BSG could use the 'Ancient Humans' motif and come into contact with the Battletech verse pretty much wherever you feel best for plot purposes. And it doesn't even have to be a standard Exodus Fleet ending up in the Inner Sphere. You could play with it and have the...

Go on... :love:
