Yup.  It would be fun.

Definitely a cool idea, though it would require quite a bit of experience to really pull off, due to the amount of in-game knowledge you'd need.

Ok, I'm going to be a miserable git and explain why, in my eyes, this isn't feasible.

My top ten favourite things about Indiana Jones:

1. Car chases

2. Nazis

3. Nazis with machine guns

4. Nazis with airplanes

5. Abundance of religious artifacts to steal from Nazis.

6. The 1930's

7. Monkeys

8. Sean Connery

9. something else

10. ditto

So, as you can see, none of these are or ever could be apparent in Arm. Sure you could replace them, but that would be CHEAP and UNIMAGINATIVE!

Right, I'm off now to ruin somebody elses fun. I think I'll go pop some kid's football with a sharp stick.

The short, almond-eyed boy exclaims to the rugged, five o'clock shadowed man in english:
"No time for love Dr. Jones!"

I did the Indy Armag thing once... it was... quick.  Brutal.  Painful.

They'd have to be wagon chases.

I hope I never see indiana IG. I'll shoot 'em with my real IG shotgun.

That would be a pretty boring chase, seeing as wagons aren't typically built to move that fast.

And elves can't be the nazis because they Nazis drove cars?
Elves think they are too good for anything but walking.

If your Tulukian, I bet allanaki's can be nazi.

Ok Ghost, I stand partially corrected.

However, I have a feeling your elf massacre starring you as Sean Connery might not bear much resemblance to the Indiana Jones Trilogy...

Raining on your parade, the sharp-witted, awesome broad has arrived from the north.

All this talk about Indiana Jones has got me seriously wanting to ask for coding additions for difficulty of mounting 'moving' wagons.

Leaping for a hold on the wagon, you miss!

>Hold rope
>use rope wagon

Whipping the rope out quickly, the grapple hooks the wagon and rapidly yanks you off your feet as the wagon rolls on!

A massive, pink wagon rolls south.
You are dragged through the dust, taking numerous cuts and bruises!

In one of my cheesier moments as a staffer, I made a plot/quest NPC named Loryn Kropht. I never used her full name ingame, but it was in her keywords as an inside joke of sorts. She was a treasure hunter/archaeologist type as her background whose only real purpose was to help introduce a plot into the game before dying spectacularly in pushing the plot along.
