    Default I was a teenage Maid for Cthulhu

    As I occasionally have been known to, I was having a silly conversation over instant messenger.

    Someone suggested running a Call of Cthulhu game at Arkham Highschool. Which could probably be played straight reasonably well.

    Then it suddenly dawned on me, that would be perfect for the Maid rules. Which is to say it's sick and wrong and hilarious.

    Thoughts?

    I have a few concerns with this though.

    Not so much the concept. That's gold. Easy to come up with scenarios in this setting.

    (Danny invites you out to the prom. But your high society parents would never approve of you dating someone from a backwoods town like innsmouth!)

    I'm hardly a Lovecraft expert, but considering how the mythos contradicts itself all the time and the very concept itself is making Lovecraft spin in his grave already this shouldn't be an issue

    I don't really want to spend a lot of time managing a game, but I don't think I'd really have to. I mean this stuff practically writes itself.

    I imagine that by the end all the players would be dead, insane, or pregnant.

    So you know. Highschool.

    Highschool with demonic entities, maids that carry super weapons, butlers that can punt skyscrapers so its more of an Anime Cuthulhu crossover.

    -raises hand-

    forgive my ignorance, I'm familiar with a few gaming systems (even if only by name and reputation)

    but what's maid? and why are there games based on dressing up in a French Maid's outfit?


    teej is more confused than the time he learned about a cardgame about scantily clad catgirl pilots.

    @^: This. It is an odd game.

    You might have to add tentacles and other squamous appendages of dire purpose and such things to the character generation table, but other than that sounds good.

    Yeah. Maid is great. If it was just about playing cleaning staff it'd be terrible. But this is more based on an Anime phenomenon.

    I like the idea of an RPG which isn't very serious at all, and just runs on humor. It's also nice to see that others seem to share my twisted vision.

    The more I think about it, the more I realize I need to run this.


    Before anyone gets too attached to any ideas, will likely be in the modern era, the town of Arkham. I'm leaning against "butlers kicking buildings into the distance". And it's going to be kind of perverse, but not as perverse as I'm sure some of you would like. Doesn't feel right to do a game like this without sex, but it's going to be a lot of fading to black.

    I'm aiming for Dark Comedy basically.

    Please tell me you'll be running this game here on the forums, and that people like me who don't have access to the rulebook can somehow play.

    Unless you're looking for a copy of the rules themselves to download. Which is against the forum rules but most people would look the other way over.

    Got some mixed opinions about that one. Hardly think it's appropriate for everyone to buy a legal copy for online games, but at least one person aught to.

    I was. I actually thought this was a free RPG, with which there would be no legal issues in such a case, making posting that no problem.

    MAID is the best system, for every setting.

    Someone was going to run MAID in the Lovecraft family mansion, but then vanished from the forums the moment the game was about to start, never to be seen again.

    So, you know, be careful of squamous horrors.
