How would you do a black friday campaign?
Do it in Savage Worlds and run it like zombie shit, you have to kill as many Black Friday shoppers as possible. The Fast Furious Fun and Toughness mechanics of Savage Worlds would make it an ideal option for slaughtering hundreds of shoppers.
Imagine blowing a gaggle of teenage girls apart with a panzerfaust, reducing them to atomized blood and burnt splinters of bone, then pulling out dual AK-47s and mowing down all the soccer dads and Nascar moms that rush out at 6am to save a precious fucking 15% off.
I think that'd be an incredibly fun campaign, and you'd get to use a lot of the "toys" in the Savage Worlds book.
It'd probably only be good for a one shot, though.

Everyone Is John, set at a mall.
>>43847586
The Wal.
The inhabitants of the mega-mall have long since forgotten what Black Friday once meant, but now, it is a period of terror. Stocker bots roam the aisles, tearing asunder hasty barricades and crushing fleeing unregistered shoppers under their heavy tread. The cult of the smiling one demands sacrifice, as eternally grinning cultists kidnap virgins to ritually disembowel and scan at the checkout. And, in the midst of all of this, the massive reduction in prices means that if you can find one of the rare few intact pieces pre-apocalypse currencies remaining, you might just be able to finally leave the Wal, and gaze upon The Parking Lot.

>Mall Cops; The Reckoning.
>You are all customers who need to get their loved ones, be it others or yourselves, gifts for the upcoming holidays. However, so are the other five hundred people with you. They are all violent, ravenous people who feel a need to show the world that they matter.
>You are all in the mob outside Fencemart, and just when you all steeled yourself that you have to wait another thirty minutes to get inside, the mob breaks down the gate. Roll Fort save to not get trampled.
and then have other shoppers/"villains" be Anarchy Reigns characters

Wal-Mart Apocalypse
I'm pretty sure somebody has done one in game of Time Wizards.
>>43847586
Probably Call of Cthulhu
Take the Tomb of Horrors and rebrand it as the Mall of Horrors.

A harsh set of lights flick on above you. Groaning, you sit up and rub your eyes, noticing a sharp, distinct pain in your back. As your sleepiness subsides and your memory returns, you remember that that pain came from all the boxes you had to stock the night before.
Looking around, you realize you fell asleep in the break room. You pick yourself up and try your best to smooth the wrinkles out of your shirt and tie, before you hear the clink of keys turning in the door nearby.
As you look over, your co-worker Jeff enters the room, his nametag hastily pinned as he, too, ran his free hand along his shirt in order to lessen its wrinkles. The other held a coffee cup, a few droplets of dark liquid already running down the sides. "...Oh, hey Steven," he says, your hatred of his awkwardly high voice increasing more quickly than usual in your half asleep state, "I guess this is a good morning to be here early, huh?"
You stare at him for a moment. "What do you mean?"
"Well it's Black Friday, right?" He responds, heading over to the microwave on a counter nearby, opening it and placing his coffee inside.
Your eyes widen as your jaw slackens slightly. You're just wrapping up your third month at Save-Mart. You've heard the stories, but you've never actually lived through a Black Friday. You swallow weakly, and the first idea that runs through your mind is to...
>panic.
>ask Jeff if we're really prepared for this.
>run out to the double-doors outside and see if The Mob has already arrived.
>ask to take the day off.

You've been at them before. You just didn't survive any of the previous ones.
Transhumanism only made Black Friday worse ...
>>43847586
Holy Shit OP, you can't just start threads like this, all Fridays matter!
Okay, since /tg/ is one of the less caustic places to ask...
What the fuck is black friday?
>>43854016
The second biggest holiday of consumerism (right after X-mas).
Also google it.
>>43854016
The one true November Holiday
Aside from Black Friday Eve, where we eat a bunch of turkey and relax in preparation for the melee ahead.

Dark Heresy.

Basically mad max with more fat people, guns and modified racing mobility scooters/shopping carts instead of cars.

First thank you guys.
Then it's amazing how a tradition gets blown out of proportion and commercialised.
>>43854250
And plenty of witnessing to do.

This and the fact that people tend to get injured or die on Black Friday.
>>43855771
Well it's ''Black'' Friday after all.
>>43855771
>people dying because of the human stampedes at malls
It sounds like something straight out of Idiocracy.
>>43855713
The weird thing is, the Walmart I work at held their Black Friday on a Thursday for some stupid reason and it was faaaaar less busy than it was the last two years.
>>43855713
it was commercialized from the start, they just blew it out of proportion for them shekels
>>43855807
That's not even the worst, one preg woman suffered the most violent miscarriage when she got stampeded on. She survived, but her baby didn't.
>>43855807
But anon, that's exactly what America has become.

Don't forget using pepper spray to keep people away from the deals they want.
