"Hippies vs Clowns: What rules?" Topic

We are now having some discussions on figures for both hippies and clowns. But, what rules would you use?

I would be inclined to do an element based game, so something like HOTT.

GASLIGHT

Any rules that cover burning and/or dismemberment.

Empire III

No point, the clowns just win.

Everyone's heard of angry, mean drunks, but who's ever heard of an angry, mean stoner?
-Kle.

Same rules as Soviets vs. Nazis. As long as there are heavy losses everybody wins.

The "At Close Quarters" System by Chris Peers. I think I got the name right. Very modifiable and they have great spotting and movement rules. Maybe a more serious answer than was intended by the question.

Spinespur :)

That's just like.. your opinion man.

"Hippies vs Clowns: What rules?"

Got to admit … never say that coming !

Any set of zombie rules that includes a chart of comedic random events.

Infinity N3 with heavily modified weapons list.

I want a parkour friendly board where clowns dual wield autoguns shooting fruit pies while hippies have mastered the close combat art of protest sign-fu.

> but who's ever heard of an angry, mean stoner?

I've seen "Reefer Madness"…

For the game, is the "Toon" RPG still available in some form? Seems like the perfect fit.

Just use the card game 'Lunch Money.'

Isn't there a "no Go zone" ruleset that is specifically designed for urban riot combat?

Aliens vs Hillbillies AKA It came from beyond the still.

Simple fun rules.

AKULA's Total A.R.S.E may work well too.

If you want a more "serious" wargame experience, PULP ALLEY may accomodate that genre very easily.

Hope that helps.

They're not on the same side?

Shocking!

Phil Kiernan's(OUTLAND OF PA) Mayberry vs. aliens rules.
however it would need a major presence of the Mississipi National Guard after they took over Cuba in a flat bed wagon.! :-) i wish i could find that political cartoon. end result…wonder how Cuba will be ruled under Willie Nelson!

"wonder how Cuba will be ruled under Willie Nelson!"

Even better bud would be imported into Colorado.

Armored Clown Cars vs Daisy-Colored mini buses emitting a "smoke" screen.

What's the penetration factor for a selzer bottle? Or does it defeat armor modifiers as an area weapon…

Clowns get a +1 in melee.

Ganesha's Kooky Teenage Monster Hunters with Fear and Faith.

Clowns _are_ in the Horror genre arn't they?

I think Pulp Alley or 7TV would work well, especially if you factor in the likely need for other factions – Elvises, the Scooby gang, the Big Lebowski crowd, and the Marx Brothers.

I have everything but the hippies, though I do have an in-scale VW van.

I like Hordes of the Things for this encounter. Here is a pictures of some of my Flower Power Hippie hordes vs some assorted Clowns, including a pie throwing shooter, a war band in the back, a tricycle Knight and a stilt wearing behemoth

I need a sllzer bottle shooter.

Rugged Adventures

Song of Clowns and Hippies?

Wooden Stilts and Iron Butterfly.

Wingnut

"the horror….the horror"

i am in tears, lauging and unable to breathe!

;-)

Stay tuned for the next games from Nordic Weasel Games:

"ClownCore" and "No Dignity in Sight"

Chain Reaction would work, although you would have to do up reaction tables. Which would be quite the hoot, I think…
