Proposed new board:
Cartoon Gaming — For discussion of anything related to cartoon or comics inspired miniatures gaming.
[Cross-listings under Fantasy, Science Fiction, and Toy Gaming Boards] Games based on Super Heroes have a home; some others happen to have scattered homes in Horror or other theme. But other game-worthy cartoons fall through the cracks and have no home for discussion (Wacky Races, Frozen The Musical, etc.). Having a central home would be useful for browsing and searching topics. |

Will Warhammer 40k be deposited there? |

Really pulp covers cartoon gaming more than adequately. |

Agree, Pulp covers it. Everything you listed in the OP are all what I think of when I here Pulp. |

Pulp and Cartoon Gaming would be different in my opinion. How can you say that Indiana Jones and Sponge Bob Square pants are the same thing? |

i don't see that much difference! |

I don't think pulp and cartoons belong together. I see the commonality *techinically*, but in practice people are looking to those two genres for different aesthetics. But I also think "cartoon" may not be the right category. Bashki's Wizards, GI Joe, Star Wars, Spiderman, and anime are all cartoons and are not similar in any gaming sense. |

Will Warhammer 40k be deposited there? I agree !!!! If it isn't it should be !!!  |

It depends on what you mean by "cartoon". The Toon! RPG focuses on wacky, Looney Tunes type action and absurdity. Even though there are a lot of different "toons" by that definition, there are a number of conceits in that milieu that hold it together. If I went with Anime instead, you get a different set of conceits, with very little overlap (with the obvious exception being (almost) nobody dies and recovery is a function of plot vice severity of injury). My main "cartoon" gaming is Scooby Doo, which is really MotW and I cross post in Pulp and Superheroes (because, really Mystery Inc. are superheroes in different clothes). Agreeing with Andrew Walters, "cartoon" is a medium which really has very little to do with the milieu, that is the things different games would have in common that would make someone get something good out of a post. |
