[ISWAT/IW] Theme song for the TV series (if there was one)

[Qoltar]

Let's say the Iconic characters of G: CHARACTERS, G:CAMPAIGNS and INFINITE WORLDS were the starring characters in Television series - either an actual one in our world OR an action adventure show produced on the Earth of Homeline.


If there was such a show - what would the theme music or theme song be like?

This song was maybe a possibility in my opinion:

Or maybe something with the energy and percussion of the TORCHWOOD opening credits would work better with quickly flashed opening shots of each team member.

In about two or three weeks I'll be starting a mini-campaign of INFINITE WORLDS for the group that has been playing STAR TREK. I'm trying to think of ways that give them the rigfht idea of the mood or tone of such a campaign.

Hey that's the theme from The 4400!

You could string together remixes of various national anthems.

I would be inclined to go retro and use themes from 70s and 80s police action dramas (Chips, Adam-12, etc.). That might be too silly for some tastes though.

I vote for "Bad Boys" -- the theme song from COPS.

[Nymdok]

Intergalactic, Parachronic, Parachronic, intergalactic, redone by the Beastie boys for the occasion?

[Mysterious Dark Lord v3.2]

I think this one would be a good theme song.

C'mon, why not a cliche 1980's action show theme? Like the A-Team, MacGuyver or GI Joe if you want to be extra campy.

I'm sooo going back to original source material on this one!

Though saying that, I have to admit an IW campaign is next on my to-do list, and if I do it, I think I want to run it more like this.

That wouldn't make much sense. We're talking an action-adventure hour long shjow for the homeline equivalent of one of the mainb 4 TV networks, not PBS here.

The "TORCHWOOD" theme music intro I've seen slightly re-done somewhere else on Youtube with quick clips of the charascters. Imagine that same sort of intro for the Baron, Sora, Dai Blackthorn, Iotha, and Professor H.

-OR-

Imagine an "NCIS"-style into credits with the best scenes for each character and a bouncy bit of percuissive theme music in background. I can almost picture Michael Weatherly playing a version of Dai Blackthorn.
