Converted from Phorums BB System

<i>"The game acknowledges this possibility somewhat, including Gilmore Girls, Six Feet Under, and Sports Night on its list of “model shows” (along with Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Firefly, etc.), but most of its examples imply that you’re “supposed to” create high-adventure, fanboy kinds of shows. More balance in the examples would do a better job of highlighting the flexibility of the system."</i>

Totally agree there. I'm hoping for more things like play examples or sample shows (in the forums) or else a free/cheap downloadable PDF with more sample shows in it.

Personally, I think the high action stuff is there because we tend to like that sort of thing anyway. I used it to run my "Badasses of the Federation" Star Trek game, and with all this talk of Gilmore Girls, I'm thinking next I want to do a show that's a cross between Gilmore Girls and Occult Conspiracy Monster Slayers.

But considering that I've seen it used to play a children's cartoon show (and a fabulous one at that), I'd be really interested in seeing a "TV Guide Supplemental" filled with the kind of "shows" (sample campaigns, or real ones that people recorded) as examples to feed the brain.
