A world I want to Roleplay – INCEPTION

IF YOU HAVE NOT SEEN THE FILM THERE WILL BE SPOILERS AHEAD, SO YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED.

I want to give my readers a quick review of a film I saw this weekend.

“GASP…… a non gaming post, how can he do this to us?”

Well yes technically its not a gaming post as such……but I have just seen a whole new world that I would love to roleplay in.

“OK……let you off this time!”

Thanks.

First check out the third film trailer here and then the review by Angry Joe here.

Inception has to one of the best ideas for a roleplaying world ever.  Going deep inside peoples dreams to steal secrets, fighting with their subconscious  and with power over the world…..Oh boy!  During the whole film I was thinking this would make an brilliant idea for a roleplay and it even made me start thinking about which system to use.

And there’s the rub, which system can be used to control a world where anything is possible?  Not held in check by a genera but by what the person is dreaming.  A system where everything can change.

Inception was written and directed by Christopher Nolan of Batman Begin’s and Dark Knight fame.  I think it was also inspired by a film I loved from my childhood in the 80′s called Dreamscape.

I am going to have to give this some thought and will get back to you if I can find a system.  By the way SEE THE FILM. Angry Joe is SOOO right it has to be seen on the big screen.

Also does anyone have any suggestions on a system to use, I have been looking at Savage Worlds….Darn it, a Matrix roleplay would be almost perfect.
