@OP, if you want to make your campaign an 80's flick, highly recommend that you watch the following:
>Highlander
>Krull (if you want to throw in some scifi)
>Excalibur
>Conan the Barbarian (technically not a flick)
>Dark Crystal
>Legend
>The Black Cauldron

This. Namefaggotry aside, anon is correct. 80s fantasy was different from 80s sci-fi/cyberpunk. 80s fantasy was all about burly dudes in loin cloths, large ham villains, sinister magic, and low key magic like controlling animals or grunting and having a door fight (Conan 2s wizard duel)
Throwing He-Man at that list, its a terrible movie but skeletor is fucking glorious in it, he's like Raul Julia as M. Bison levels of good

Are they two radical dudes, arriving in a phone booth?
Make sessions one-shot episodes, one being only vaguely related to the next. Story is never as important as cool factor.
Explosions, expensive suits, babes, flair, mullets, sweet rides, explosions, tight bodysuits, explosions, leg warmers, aviator glasses, explosions, slick bad guys, punchlines.
At the end of a session, any loose ends are disregarded. Everyone gathers together for a last cheap joke, laughter fades to black. To be continued.

>>47185276
It's becasue of the movies. By the late 90s, Hollywood was really starting to go downhill, and people started getting really nostalgic for older movies. The late 90s/early 00s is also when the cyberpunk genre had a small resurgence. It was a fun time to be a teenager, which is why I think a lot of people who were born in the late 80s and early 90s hold "the 80s" in such high regard, since a lot of the things they loved from their childhood came out of the 80s. Looking back, it's a colorful and over-the-top time in contrast to the dull super serious, PC drudgery of today.
>>47185407
So basically people look back on the 80s as a time where things were fun and wasn't ashamed of it?
>>47176343
What a horrible fucking short film.
There were no set ups to jokes, just endless "lel randum 80's".
>>47185373
This guy gets it
80's stuff was actually pretty subdued compared to the 'homage' shit that comes out today. Yeah, the heroes would kick ass and stuff but it still managed to ground itself within the world of the film.
>>47185422
No, people (born in the 80's) look back on it because they can't see stuff coming out today as fun. 80's recycle is popular because of people that didn't grow up in the 80's wanting to have it as well. I can almost guarantee the fans of it could not sit through Lethal Weapon or two episodes of Miami Vice.
>>47185422
I think so yea. Like >>47179729 pointed out, the media of the time was all about being as awesome and over the top as possible. People didn't care how unrealistic, racist or low brow a lot of the stuff was, it was fun and that's all that mattered. People knew how to have fun without being super critical about everything and were not a bunch of fucking crybabies like they are today either.
>>47185473
Everyone likes lethal weapon.
>>47185476
If you actually go back and watch these movies you will see these rocket launchers, helicopters, unrealistic action sequences were usually reserved for the climactic confrontation and were shown to be odd or rare within the movie.
People completely ignore this in every fucking 80's thread. A lot of 80's action movies were centered around masculine drama and the boiling rage and burning passion a man of action can feel, not punching heads into liquid on the back of a jet over a vaporwave sunset.
>>47185519
Exaggeration of the 80s is something you can see in retrosynth albums today.
>>47185519
Exactly, I was never saying that the guns and explosions were the focus of films, but the plots in general were incredibly shallow. And that's not a bad thing. The stories were simple, easy to understand, and fun. Actors had to actually act and you had a lot more characterization becasue "muh angst" and CGI were not viable fall backs yet.
>>47185585
Now we get what amounts to animated movies trying to pretend they are live action as if being animated is a mark of shame when going full animation could have salvaged their premise
>>47185473
>>47185519
A lot of the glorification of 80s culture isn't from people who were alive in the 80s, quite the opposite I think. Their reasons for glorifying the 80s are not the same reasons why people from the 80s may have enjoyed the decade. Saying "well I was alive in the 80s and it's not like you think it was" means nothing to someone born in the mid 90s who is looking back and likes what he sees a lot more then what's already around him.
>>47185639
If you mean how the west has abandoned traditional animation entirely, I think the blame can be placed at large corporations like Disney who aren't content with a modest profit, when they want huge returns. But yeah it's a shame that attempts to break animation out of the children's ghetto failed, since there's so much you can do when you don't have to worry about needing to be constrained by technical limitations.
Have your players be a bunch of kids, give them a magical cute little unicorn, insert a GMPC that railroads them hard, and the end of the session, make sure everybody understood the lesson of the day.

You need some of that good old black/white morality, since moral grey-zones weren't even invented at the timeat least if you wamma believe most fantasy flicks and cartoons from the time
In addition to that i would advise you to keep a small cast of side characters whose role in the story can be easily identified by their archetypes/clichés. Preferably with a big load of ham and cheese. This goes both for appearances as well as mannerisms, speech patterns etc.
If you want to make it really good ask your players to acommodate those roles as well with their characters by creating essentially stereotypes (aka "the hero", "his companion amd eventual love interest", "the clever and cunning, but cowardly companion, who will either betray the hero or sacrifice himself in a final act of bravery", "the wiseman/wizard", "that annoying childand whose shit idea was it anyway to cast a goddamn child actor for fucks sake, nobody likes child actors", "the rival that puts aside his differences and joins the cause" .... )
>>47185798
Oh thanks bro. It's completely unrelated to my homebrew setting but I'm totally going to incorporate it now. Frazetta meets Dark Souls.
Players can't get stat advances and perks without a montage. Have to provide a theme and explain what they do.
Critical hits must be followed by a oneliner.
A sufficiently good or fitting oneliner prior to rolls provides a bonus to the related roll or XP bonus.
Having you back against an AoE effect gives you a +2 save against it.
Provide at least one war in the past (or possibly the future) that PCs can be hardened veterans of.
At least one league of gladiatorial blood sport.
Abduct at least one child or loveinterest of a PC.
Basil Poledouris
Encourage the rogue to start a criminal empire and then attempt to take it from him.
Have at least one civilization in ruins amidst a toxic, desert wasteland, crawling with psychopathic raiders and murderous constructs.
At least one major city with rampant crime that needs to be saved by a group of hard ass mavericks.
Encourage martial classes.
I don't care if it is medieval fantasy Europe, there's gonna be East Asian diaspora teaching people Kung Fu and Karate.
Also, the head of the townwatch is gonna be an old bald black man who constantly yells at the PCs and the top of his lungs.

As a 90s kid, this is the kicker. Everything now feels gray and shitty compared to the over-the-top radical factor of the 80s and 90s, and I can just pick and choose the best parts of two decades vs digging through all the crap of today.
Also, Big Trouble in Little China remains my favorite movie of all time. Above everything else, it's actually /fun/ and I rarely feel that with movies nowadays.

>>47176475
>>47187827
I was working on a setting similar to this. So far factions I've created include the Pegasus Knights of Astroglam who are constantly riding throughout the galaxy from their space-fortress seeking an entity known as the Astral Unicorn, and the Kingdom of the Astral Vampires who created dark magic to turn stars into red giants whose light neither harms them nor supports life. (They're currently working on a way to advance this magic so they can trigger supernovas to destroy their enemies.)
>>47187877
Not really. There's no investment if the character is regularly accomplishing impossible feats (for the setting).

stylistically, I love it, that saturated neo-retro neon look is actually quite pleasing -- really, it's like someone looked at 80s advertising and cover art and shit and decided that's what it was all about, and it'd be a really cool aesthetic for a campaign
Kung Fury totally doesn't really understand what it's trying to imitate though.
anyone trying to really emulate 80s action in any way (like OP) needs to literally sit down and study Die Hard, which is probably the textbook on how to do this thing right
fantastic pacing, excellent characterization (it's marvelous by action movie standards and it's more than decent in general), and the action really ramps up, but does so in a measured way until it comes to a boil with the rooftop bang, it's a marvelous movie that gets the feeling of the late 80s straight
>>47185473
I can't imagine someone not sitting through Lethal Weapon and enjoying it. Fuck, just thinking about that idea is giving me a headache.

>>47186739
I'd add They Live in the movies and BAOH in anime, but good list 9.5/10.
>>47188207
I did like the song. Even though it kind of suffered from the same problem as the movie, it was a little bit more subdued about it.
I think a lot more GMs should try imitating 80s fantasy movies, rather than trying to recreate Lord of the Rings of Game of Thrones or whatever. The plot and tone of a lot of the movies is very similar to the average RPG campaign. Like, Hawk the Slayer is about a party composed of very different characters being gathered to defend a monastery from villains. That's sounds like something you'd see in a low level DnD campaign.
Now, Tolkien of course did the whole "part of heroes on a quest to do something" thing, but the thing is, that most RPGs don't have anywhere near the depth of Tolkien's work, using the same elements and tropes but more as backdrop enabling the PCs to delve into dungeons and kill orcs. 80s fantasy movies fit that kind of stuff better than epic fantasy literature.
Also, I just find cheesy 80s fantasy movies fun. They're pretty interesting in that while a lot of the classic fantasy tropes were around back then, a lot of them weren't quite as well established so you get a lot of weirdness along with the standard stuff.
>>47186739
Panzer World Galient is a good sci-fi/fantasy mix that is relevant to 80's fantasy that I would add to that mix.

>>47176236
First, watch Conan the Barbarian and Star Wars. If you watch no other 80s movies make it these and liberally rip them off.
Second, there was little big budget fantasy in the 80s. Don't go balls-out with your ideas. Think low budget. Focus on your high concepts. Simpler is better.
Third, be sincere. Don't meme. Don't be self-referential. Don't break the fourth wall. No post-modernism.
Fourth, don't worry too much about the setting. Don't overthink your setting either. A world resembling our own from some time in the past is sufficient.

I argue that if you want to use rock music that you need to have weird or sci-fi elements. That's how you get Flash Gordon, Highlander, or Heavy Metal.

I say the first rule of emulating 80s anime is to run and play it like Dragonball Z has not happened yet. It has not come along and codified the tropes to the point of crystal clarity yet. Don't even try to be anti-DBZ because that's reactionary which requires it to exist.

And I find it sort of charming that people would go to great lengths to glorify the time I spent bumbling around figuring out the nature of the early Internet, which is what to me what the 90s were about. Even if they get it entertainingly wrong in the process.

For me it's video games.
Granted I was born in 87'. But I still lived the glorious 90ies and played all the cool arcade games, saw the VHS movies, and spent days on my amiga which was FULL of games inspired by the last 10years in terms of cheese.
Pic related. Having an older brother helped.

Someone's never seen Caveman.

I still have a truckload of gaming magazines from the early 90s/Late 80s.
You just have to look at the ads to see the difference between then and today.
Pic related, when I was a kid, I used to detach the page to use them as posters.
Two words, hope someone else has already said em or I'm disappointed: Kung Fury

This thread BTFOed Kung Fury for the fraudulent, glib facsimile it is.

Is it wrong for me to enjoy both real 80s and meme 80s on their own merits while seeing the distinction?
>>47200929
So long as you know the distinction and don't recommend meme 80s when authentic 80s is requested.
>>47200503
This is what we were trying to avoid in the thread, fuck off.

Turbo Kid is a much better 80s throwback, mainly because it correctly rips heavily from the 70s. The fact that it uses conceptual humor but doesn't rely on it helps.
>>47201305
Problem with "authentic 80s" is that it covers a huge swath of media, subgenres, styles, and fashions even within genres. Dragonslayer and Conan the Barbarian aren't similar at all despite both being low-fantasy films released a year apart. Meme 80s refers to a very specific thing.

I see what you did there. And I like it.
So, they 'remember' that they got into the scenario by riding a cursed fairground ride, and their overarching goal is to get back home to see their families again?And, at the very end of the campaign, they find out the GMPC and the BBEG were always secretly in cahoots with one another, if not actually on the same side as such.
Even worse, what the GMPC didn't want to tell them was that in truth the only way they can truly return home is by getting someone else to ride the cursed merry-go-round in their place - with absolutely no guarantee their replacements will be as good as saving the world they've become attached to as they are - a choice that a bunch of moralistic, Good-aligned kids will find almost impossible to take?
Yes, it really did have a bad ending - possibly the only 80s cartoon that ever did!
The question is not could you, but should you.

I was born in spring, 1980 too. Of course it wasn't all ridiculous cheese and ridiculous hair. No-one remembers the crap pop songs either - because no-one really wants to remember, say, BROS. But that doesn't mean you can't have fun with the cheesiest bits of the 80s stuff by taking it even more over the top. I can't believe no-one's mentioned Red Sonja yet.
