Over in the [NEW Stupid Republican Idea of the Day (Part 3)](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/new-stupid-republican-idea-of-the-day-part-3/986588) thread, there’s a bit of a hijack related to Clue(do). I figure, “What the hey? Let’s see what the Teeming Millions can come up with for various themed editions of the classic detective game!” If you wish to contribute, please mention all of the following: 1. Let’s number our fan creations since, given the creative nature of the TM, no doubt some will make more than one contribution. Numbering them makes it easier to make comments on a previous poster’s creation. 2. Theme (such as on what show you grabbed the particular elements from) ~If the theme is too broad (such as _Star Trek_), be sure to include a more detailed description (such as _Star Trek: Lower Decks_). 3. Victim (Mister Boddy has not always been Clue(do)'s victim, so feel free here.) 4. Suspects (This should be a minimum of 7, but I think 10 tops out on playability, IMHO.) 5. Weapons (I don’t think there’s a rule requiring the same number of weapons as suspects, but again, let’s go with the Goldilocks Rules: make it “just right”. 😉 ) 6. Locations (Let’s stick with 9 rooms, halls, and other passages (such as elevators on a starship or the original game’s secret passages) ---

Since I’m the first one I guess I’m number 1. Theme is Beavis and Butt-Head. Victim is Principal McVicker Suspects: Beavis Butt-Head Daria Stewart Buzzcut Van Driessen Todd Tom Anderson Lolita and Tanqueray (always together) Weapons: Roll of TP Barbell Nachos Chicken Nugget Baseball Bat Chainsaw Spray Paint Locations: Living Room Van Driessen’s Classroom Open Field GWAR Concert Maxi-Mart Gym Mr. Anderson’s Shed Stewart’s Kitchen Burger World No secret passages, and lets face it these two would get lost in them anyway. ---

Re: #1 & #2: I can’t really say anything about those because I haven’t watched the shows on which they’re based. Re: #3 Using the transporter room as a means to go to any other room on the Enterprise is genius! Re: #4 I’d go with Aunt Bee as the victim. I couldn’t stand the character or the actress who portrayed her. 😈 But your locations really do require Cousin Andy to be the _corpus delecti_. So far, all great editions! ---

@Robot_Arm You need four more locations. I love the choice of weapons: Fay’s voice & Not being careful out there! ---

> [@Monty](#): > > You need four more locations. _Hill Street Blues_ didn’t really have a lot of recurring locations to choose from, but let’s add: Roll-call room (not the same as the squad room) Courtroom Street corner Furillo’s bed (where most of the episodes ended) ---

I was going to do a _Phantom Menace_ -based game and have Jar Jar Binks as the victim, but then realised the list of suspects would be impracticably large, so I’ve scrapped that idea. ---

Green Greevey, Stone, and Robinette were all original cast members, but I don’t think they’re the most iconic characters from the show’s run. I would replace them with Det. Green, EADA McCoy, and ADA Kincaid. Replace Shambala Green with Dr. Rodgers. And one of the weapons has to be a javelin. ---

Re: #3, the _Star Trek VI_ one: A kar’takin wouldn’t be seen in Star Trek until the Jem’Hadar used it on Deep Space Nine. The nearest kar’takin is 50,000 light years away in the 23rd century. How about a qutluch instead? The ceremonial blade of a Klingon assassin? ---
