Allright, so maid rpg got brought up in the irc and ended up with me going "to hell with shame, let's do this!"

So if there's enough interest for this, then I'll run what probaly will be a one-shot adventure/session for some random fun and at the same time give people a taste of how a rules-light system can work

For now, then I'm looking to find out when would be a good time for those interested and which of the following scenarior that people would like to try. multiply choice's possible.

1: "Be our Demon King" The players are all maids in a dungeon where the former demon lord have disappeared, the every day life of setting the traps, adjusting the monster placement and cleaning the moat with acid breathing and immune sharks growing boring, leading them toward an attempt to get the latest arrival to sit on the throne and become the new master.
they must do this without accidently scaring the prospective evil overlord away, or end up killing the poor bugger before the throne room is reached in the bottum.

2: "Operation Love Academy" Contemporarely Setting, the master attends a prestigous school for the rich, even allowing the students to bring along some of thier maids. All is not well though, as something seems to have caught the masters attention, causing him to be wistfull.
Bring happiness to his live! fight off jealuse guys! or seduce him for yourself (or the love interest)

3: "Target terminated, will now proceed to clean up" Maids, gentle beings that ensures the smooth running of a household and also deadly assasins, thier actions cutting a bloody swath through anything thier Master consider a threat.  Wait what?. Experience the live of maids that consist of a surreal mix of prim and proper etiquets, where the biggest issue of the day is what to cook for dinner, juxtaposed against the grim reality of being professional assasin. doing what they must. Essentially, Gunslinger Girl the maid rpg. or think Bourne identity...with maids.

4: "Cheers! in fantasy!"  Your boss just couldn't keep his cool. nooo, he had to make a bet with the competing Tavern about who'll have must costumers.  As if dealing with run-away magical experiments, random mob forming outside the tavern and Adventure party crashing the tavern wasn't enough....nooo sire.
Fight for the honour and prestigues of the tavern you work in, as  you deal with the daily day issues of running a tawern in a world where a random fireball at any moment can blow up the kitchen!

5: "Being a teacher isn't hard enough.  Must up it by teaching in a school for mages!" make sure the answers isn't swiped by invisible students, stop random food figthing from escalating into potato mash golens and help and listen to the ails of the students seeking to make sense of thier life. oh, and try to avoid getting turned into a newt by a cranky head principle.
Play the everyday life as a teacher for students whose pranks are abit more elaborated then just putting a fart ballon on the chair.

5.b: "being a students isn't neccesarely less exciting!" same as above, but from the other side, with each class being highly competive. Win the race! deal with a fellow students budding crush! Avoid the (magical) wedgies!

6: "The birth of a world" The great one have decided to create a world of wonder and magic to fill the void in an empty spot of the multiverse. Unfurtunately this will be his first time attempting, and here is where you, his loyal minor godlings step in. to make sense of the madness, correcting the inconsistingcy and ensure that his world does not implode when the (must likely) figurative ON-switch are flipped.


Unless there's strong support for one of the above scenariors, then I'll just roll a D6 at the start of the session and take it from there.
Character creation will also be done during the session, since it takes less then 15 minutes per character anyway, and it's part of the fun *nods sagely*


Oh, and do keep in mind that I live in Europe, so nothing too late into the night for me on weekdays please *smile sheepishly*

Tillumni, I just have to say you are good for us.  In my jaded-as-hell opinion.

Old, evil, twisted, damaged, and afflicted.  Orbis non sufficit.Thread Murderer Extraordinaire, and supposedly pragmatic...\"That is my interpretation. That the same rules designed to reduce the role of the GM and to empower the player also destroyed the autonomy to create a consistent setting. And more importantly, these rules reduce the Roleplaying component of what is supposed to be a \'Fantasy Roleplaying game\' to something else\"-Vreeg

I'd totally join in... and I'm up for the assassin one (for reasons you obviously can figure out ;) ).

By the way, I'll need to know when would be a good time for you guys.

Also, for those who have no idea what kind of system this is. don't feel shy about jumping in anyway.  the character creation takes less then 15 minutes and the rules are extremely simple.
and more importantly..the more hte merrier!

assuming no special plans, then any day starting from 9-10 pm GMT+1, except wednesday Friday would probaly be best, assuming no special plans on my side.


anybody who can't do it on fridays at all?

SilvercatMoonpaw

I've already got something going on Fridays

Just to be thorough: I'm willing to give up my place in the game if a time I can't attend is better for more people.

EDIT: On second thought I'm already having problems scheduling one chat game, so you'd better take me off the roster.
