Indiana Jones Adventure Puns

Hello all,

I know about the core rulesets Temples & Tombs and Broken Compass (impossible to find anymore the rules in English by the way...) but I was wondering whether there are out there good modules for Indiana Jones/ Uncharted type of treasure hunt adventures?

Maybe you have good novels to recommend? I haven't read any fantasy books in age and that could be fun to re-discover the joy of adventure page turners.

Suggestions appreciated, thank you!

The sierra games are ok, but... miss intensity. And the creators are a bit too smartass for my taste. Bit pretentious as well. And that u have to think like them.

Looking for movies where the protagonist explores exotic locations (like rainforests, deserts), or ruins of ancient civilizations (like in The Last Crusade). Preferably on Earth, as I'm not really into space exploration.

Stuff I've watched: All Indiana Jones films, The Mummy.

I’ve always loved the Indiana Jones film series and knew there had been a tv series about a young Indiana, I recently discovered the episodes where up on YouTube and decided to give them a watch. However, I looked further around and saw there was another uploader who had said they re-edited them into the original episodes. Here’s the link to the first playlist I found, which I think is The Adventures of Young Indiana Jones and this is the second playlist which I think is original Young Indiana Jones Chronicles.

I know Harrison Ford reprised his role as an older Indy in one episode, but don’t know which version he’d be in and which version to watch for that. As someone who hasn’t watched the tv series before, which version would be best, and does that version have the Ford Indy in? Thanks.

Some people here told me Raiders is a worse film than Chariots because it's action adventure

And I wanted to say "drama and other heavier genres".

Can anyone recommend some more movies in this kind of vein? I really liked Jungle Cruise and it put me in the mood for more of these kind of rousing adventure movies. I want to spend my Sunday getting high watching swashbuckling heroes in exotic and mysterious settings. As a side note, I did enjoy the way that Jungle Cruise made Emily Blunt able to hold her own against goons and stuff, because honestly the damsel in distress trope gets kinda boring after a while.

After Indiana Jones, JC, Pirates and The Mummy I'm kind of stumped.

Early to mid-20th century setting and archeological focus optional (although with an archeological focus, I feel there’s a lot of potential), but I’m interested in seeing if there’s one for that kind of “ride a horse alongside a tank, jump on and hijack it” or “get in a fistfight with Nazis on a zeppelin and escape on an airplane you have no idea how to fly” or “explore a library in Venice to find the secret of an ancient riddle” or “Get in a car chase down the crowded streets of a large city with Tommy-gun wielding gangsters hounding you every step of the way.” Like stuff you’d see in Indiana Jones or The Mummy or Batman: the Animated Series. Even Fallout to a degree.

You know the type of feel. Weird science, thrilling heroics, ancient secrets, a little magic here and there and action that stops just on the edge of going over the top.

Is there a PBtA system that delivers this type of experience? And if not, how do I create one, because I feel like this should exist.

Hi,

I've been having my fill of deep political fantasy from Joe Ambecrombie to many deep and well written ones. But now I need something new. Something which is hopefully in the realm of SP, a non-medieval European style fantasy that is inspired from these elements. Bascially, I'd love if someone could create a high adventure fantasy novel based on the Ottoman Empire in an age of industrialisation with Turkic Mythology and Anatolian lore. I want more writers to create something like that. Add steampunk, add something of that kind. Maybe add a heist, where a character is taken from the streets of Arkbaza (as an example) in the Sultan's capital to be hired by the Grand Vizier to transport this mystical item to the neighbouring Kingdom of XYZ. This could be a poor, destitute man trying to protect his family when he's taken from the dirty streets into the fabled palace and he has to face monsters, bandits, steam trains etc.

Something like this is way more exciting to me as a reader than generic elves, dragons etc. (please note this is a reader preference and there are many readers that enjoy those tropes. I do too, but I want something new.) That being said, why don't we see a heist fantasy novel? I rarely see this coming from Gollancz, Orbit or Tor. I don't see much like this from self-published novels. Is there any fantasy novel that is similar or is like this:

- Pirates

- Sinbad style inspired, I so want much more fantasy to be inspired from Sinbad at least.

I don't know but if I could get any help would be appreciated!

Closest things I’ve come across would be Dan Brown’s Robert Langdon books and Janes Rollin’s first Sigma Force book. Any thoughts?

Platform(s):PS1

Genre: Adventure/Action

Estimated year of release: don't know :/

Graphics/art style: 3D, 3th person

Notable characters:A man with black hair and a green t-shirt, I think. Giant boss looking like a Mayan god

Notable gameplay mechanics: It looked like a mixture of Tomb Raider with Indiana Jones

Other details: The first phase was in the jungle entering a kind of open temple, the first enemies were scorpions, the scoring "coins" were crystals if I'm not mistaken. The second boss was like a giant Mayan, the combat area was in the water with us swimming, I never got past him. I do not remember much of the game, just the memory of some parts of the first phase and the boss who could not pass

So I just got Indiana Jones 1 and 2 for my PS3 for trophy hunting, just to find out Lego Indy 1 doesn’t have trophies on PS3:/ does anyone know if I buy PS Play thing on PS4 and get Indy 1, will it have trophies?

Looking for some treasure hunting, tomb raiding, vine swinging books.

TLDR everything is fine except the ruined queue video, and Boulder not moving as much.

Edit: for everyone saying it’s for safety reasons with less queue space, the new video only has information about the storage pouches, every voice line about the seatbelt is also removed.

It’s a mixed bag, there are numerous good changes, however 2 really heavy changes that majorly effect the ride in a negative way.

1. What may be insignificant to some is that the Boulder only now moves half the distance of what it used to. The last two times I’ve been on indiana Jones adventure,the Boulder either fails to get closer, or is programmed to not go as far as it used to. Now it only feels close after you go under it, making the effect almost as awkward as the chamber of destiny without movement.

2. The largest change, the butchering of the Pre show video. Both eye on the globe clips? Completely deleted. Sallah at least mentioning his name? Gone (maybe cultural reasons but really??). All of the backstory of the ride? Cut completely. What about the 3 gifts of Mara, the lost tourists, or if Indiana Jones has,was, or is on the scene? Non-existent. It’s horrible what they did to it. There is only 2 clips, both start with Sallah saying “welcome to the temple of the forbidden eye-“ (jarringly skipping “I sala, shall now give you counsel to seek out a miraculous journey”) then it abruptly fades to either “your off-road journey is high speed and…” (of course with half the dialogue haphazardly ripped out) or Sallah says a snippet of “here in your transportation devices are ingenious pouches..” then both variations end with the same “…if you avoid the eyes of Mara, that is”. You may think it was done to make it so guests could see the whole clip, however it is so drastically short that you hear the same “welcome my friends” line around 6-10 times. The old videos duration was never a problem for me over the previous hundred or more times I’ve been on, from the standby, to the single rider, to the handicap lines I was able to see the whole original video and then some every time.

(Personal comments)

Im autistic, and my favorite thing to do when I go to Disneyland is to completely memorize audio queues, everything from safety spiels to on-ride audio. It is so upsetting to me to hear one of my favorite arrays of sounds so horrifically mutilated to the point where it makes me not want to go in the queue. I personally love the Indiana Jones franchise, ive had countless Indiana Jones th
