I can't wait to GM:


The Peculiar Ferret of Tomorrow
Attack of the Swollen Girl
Joyful Squid of Despair
Imprisoned by the Gigantic Priestess (perhaps a sequel to Attack of the Swollen Girl?)
Quivering Women

Terrorized by the Repairman of the Hovercar

Don't you wish you were more polite when you got your tuneup?


The Incredible Servant of Yesterday
Rescue from the Astronomer of the Future


Probably a pair of companion novels, telling the same story from two viewpoints.

The Merchant that Disintegrated the Brain sounds like a fun mystery, and The Last Days of the Flying Automaton promises high adventure. Race Against the Cosmic Robots has an intriguing premise, while The Wrong Pyramid of the Unthinkable will surely deliver a most horrifying story.

The Tentacles that Learned of the Girl, on the other hand...

"Slaves of the Tetrahedron"
Isn't that every D&D game?

"Invisible Robots"
Now there's an idea. How come more wizards don't make their golems invisible anyway?

"Quivering Pit"
You're going to need either the BoVD or BoEF for this one... maybe both.

"Rescue from the Brain Eaters of Time": Mind Flayers!

"Surrounded by the Expanding Being": That must be some kind of an epic ooze.

Bards?
"The Singing Brain Thieves of the Atom"
"Revolt of the Singing Librarian"

Blood Nun


This. It must happen. The people will it to be!

Can anyone think of a trailer monologue for this one? You know the type, the ones with the guy with the really deep voice they always have for action movies.

In a godless land, a single nun fights for the souls of the dammed, one gun at a time.

That'd be Don LaFontaine. Sadly, he is now deceased, but he did so much recording work that I'm sure you could find and adapt something via cut and paste.

"In a world overrun by demons...

... where strong men fall to plague before they come of age, and kings and knights cower in their castles...

... only one force has the power to fight the darkness:

NUNS."

It would be the worst movie ever, but also kind of hilarious.

Personally, I feel most of these titles would be improved by inserting the hero's name in front of them, producing "Tiberius Smythe and the Title-O-Tron's Results" instead of just the results. Some of them work fine without it, but you can't really go wrong with with putting your protagonist's ridiculous-yet-cool name in the title!

Best I've gotten so far: The Merciless Parrot of Mars.
