Anyway hows about a wildwest KM?.  A large 10 gallon hat can be used as a blindfold and a large cloak ( Like Clint Eastwood in a fistful of dollars ) could be used to put food and itmes behind.  The game story can be very wild west i.e your the gunslinger or alike walking into a remote town and the adventure begins.  Obviously in the wild west setting there is a great range of friends and foes so I wont go into that.  Puzzels couldhave things like a gunfight where the advisors move the westerneer left and right in a gunfight, avoiding the oppositions bullets and also telling when to fire to hit the opponent.  The equivilent of a wellway could be stagecoach which takes you to the next twn.  That stage coach could be attacked by indians maybe, with spaers that must be avoided.

Hmm imagination getting the best of me lol.

Teradactyl: "Who are you and what do you have for the fare?"

Dungeneer "This rock shaped like a wheel? And a a stick that's on fire"

I like the idea about dinosaus, I've loved dinos since... well the first I saw one

But medieval will always rule over all. That will always be the best.

Velda: This gem is an elven stone desired by all the denisens of the dungeons and catabombs beond....

I guess that its not 'desired by all the denizens of the dungeons....' Then again the goblins may have thought: Hey why help that blind defenceless dungeneer when you can steal the gem and get some meat on the side

I love the space idea, it could also have levels, level 1 is the surface, level 2 is the aliens lunar base and the level 3 deep within the moons depths. Dungeoneers (well space exploreres really_ could be suspended on bungy ropes so they can get the extra jump height as though in space. Or anti-grav boots would be in order.

Problem is there would be no friendly chracters just horible aliens.

Say hello to the martians julie and ask them if they would like a present.

It could deal with modern issues, like unrest in world and the dungeoneer could carry a shooter to dispense immediate justice. OK that would be like judge dread, but its a cool idea none the less.

The only trouble with having a show pivoted with modern issues is that it would go out of date very quickly indeed. Much better to have it set out of time instead.

that sounds like a cross between Sci-Fi and VR Troopers (that old kid program a bit like Power Rangers)... I think KM should be kept in the traditional Medieval setting...

Yeh but the point of the thread is to think of KM in a new setting .  As for VR troopers, never heard of it.

Liked the computer type KM, nice Idea MPK.

Having the eyes vunerable leads to 2 possibilities, either VR or a Blindfolded missioneer guided from launch control.  Of course in space youve got up and down movement as wel as left and right to be added at the right times.  Also youve got stuff like moon buggies and space bases to be played with.  Perhaps lifeforce could be presented as oxygen levels and therefore a new tank could replace food.

As for charecters well the aliens after earth are the obvious bad guys and maybe rival aliens opposed to them could be the other charecters.  Also never hurts to have a mysterious neutral type moonwall monster thrown in.

Actually they could set it so that instead of entering dungeons and catacombes that they are actually entering a program which could form of any room at all, past or present!

Villians could be in the form of Viruses/Hackers/Enemy programmers.

However Im not sure about the quest objects! I dont think floppy discs, CDs, or DVDs make good quest objects! It needs to be something classy!
