I just enjoyed reading an about extracting rules from an existing setting, and thought it would be fun to turn it into a little forum game where you monkeys, given a book/movie/comic, either describe what rule system you think fits the setting best - or if you think it would be easier to design a new set of rules.
What ever you choose, please write a short motivation why. (e.g. "I think Five by Five is best suited for 1984 because ...", or "I would design a new system for 1984, using XXX and YYY because...").
After you've answered, you get to select the next "setting" (e.g. a book, movie, or comic).
And since I'm first, the first "setting" is... The Wizard of Oz .
