BIG COUNTRY — SILVER SCREEN
An Expansion to the Silver Screen Core System
Hollywood after the war was not just glamour — it was competition.
Big Country: Silver Screen expands the original Silver Screen game into a full studio ecosystem, simulating the rise and fall of multiple rival film studios across decades of American cinema.
As a studio head, you will manage contracts, assemble casts from writers, directors, actors, and actresses, and balance production costs against audience appeal. Talent shapes Film Score. Film Score drives the box office. The box office determines survival.
Studios compete for Reputation and Awards while navigating contract expirations, talent movement, independent productions, and the unpredictable fortunes of the Silver Screen.
Built on the original 1d6 resolution engine, this expansion deepens the system without abandoning its core elegance. The result is a volatile, dynamic simulation where no season unfolds the same way twice.
Will your studio dominate the era — or fade to black?
