Oscar games 2021

This year’s Best Picture nominees...

The Father
Quick, name a PC with a happy home life.

Judas And The Black Messiah
A traitor in the midst of a revolution. Which side are the PCs on, and can the be sure it’s the right one? This could go all the way up to game like Winterhorn where this is the main plot.

Mank
Trying to make a Great Film, or even a good film, or really a film at all, is a struggle in many ways. The old Hollywood setting can add a lot too.

Minari
How would the characters deal with being displaced, a minority in their new home?

Nomadland
A lot of PCs are like this anyway, hence the term Murderhobo, rootless and travelling to support themselves. Less so in modern settings which tend more to focus on a single city and if not to go globetrotting. TV has a good share of drifter main characters like The Fugitive and genre shows like The Incredible Hulk and Supernatural. Modern Nomads are among the Roles in Cyberpunk, too, where this lifestyle has become common in the western world.

Promising Young Woman
Revenge, vengeance and vigilantism in the kind of over the top way RPGs sometimes go.

Sound Of Metal
How would you deal with the unstoppable loss of your greatest asset, skill or power?

The Trial Of The Chicago 7
Stopping a miscarriage of justice, or being on the receiving end of it.
