Discussion, Game.

The latest insanity born of the Game of Gods Hivemind and thrown out to seek it's fortune elsewhere, welcome to the forum's newest Maid RPG! (or at least it was before Rain started All In One Room...)

This game is intended to be a simple, quick, festive romp. It starts on the morning of Christmas Eve, and the Maids have to decorate the mansion, begin work on the Christmas Dinner, get presents for the Master and each other (oh come on, everyone leaves it to the last minute!), etc.

They must be sure not to tell the young master that Santa Claus isn't real. His little heart would be broken, and the Maid in question will be fired. Maids with 'Pure' as one of their attributes may also believe in Santa, but trying to convince them that he isn't real carries no penalty except the possibility of an ass-kicking.

This is very much a work in progress, and any more input would be appreciated. I'll be looking through the manual for inspiration, particularly at the birthday scenario.


3 M's

Master: Eddy, played by Anura.

Maids:

Mansion: Ziggurat Apocalypso.


Scenario Rules:

  • The game begins on the 19th of December; seven days 'til Christmas.
  • Each day, each Maid can focus on Decorating, Shopping or Housework:
    • Decorating is putting up the Christmas decorations. Choosing to do this means that you make a roll for that day (probably Skill, but a good enough IC reason can allow use of another), which will add to a running % total of how decorated the tower is.
    • Shopping means spending time in town looking for presents. Each Maid will need to do this at least once before Christmas. You will make a roll to determine the quality of the present you get (Affection or Luck will be accepted for this without question; other stats will need a reason).
    • Housework means normal maid duties; cooking, cleaning, attending the Master, etc. At least one Maid will have to be doing this every day; they'll be the only ones who can make rolls for the daily chores.
  • Christmas Dinner will need special attention, and cooking it will begin the day before, on Christmas Eve. This effectively opens another job on the 24th that needs doing. Skill (or others, within reason) rolls from every Maid present will go towards a running total. You can make another roll on Christmas Day itself to finish the meal.

SIGNUPS ARE CLOSED.

Can we have a Secret Santa and White Elephant thing too?

And maybe take place during all of December?

You have a choice. These two are kind of idiots, too. Well-meaning idiots! :D

Suppose I can give this maid thing a try.

...Once I find that site that generates them.

@Fuse: A Secret Santa sounds good as an alternative to the Maids gifting each other. As for all of December though... I suppose we could start on the 19th. That gives us a week.

@Rain: One of these.

@Moe: A crippled princess, wearing all pink and is MAGICAL no less, learning to be a bride, who's secretly a guy? Perfectly normal by this game's standards!

@Anno & Roxas: Good to have you aboard!

Here you go.

I think it's messing with me, though. It's given me five sexy lolis who like them young in a row...

Still scary. It's not often I come across a telekinetic, masochistic, lucky, rainbow-coloured loli maid who's also a spoiled Cloud Cuckoolander.

So as you may imagine, I'm not exactly familiar with these Maid RPG's. My last attempt to join one died before it started.

Why would you not want Dynasty Warrior styled maids?! Madness!

Do we get the blind catgirl lolicon or the horrendously naive succubus?

Well, I think you should go with...

-flips coin-

...The succubus!

I'd say Succubus as well.

[up]You can always reroll if it's too weird for you. The stats are the only things that absolutely must be left to the dice. Everything else can technically be hand-picked, although it's more fun when it's randomized.

Well I got a tan neat freak in tights who when stressed pulls pranks...

OK Anura am I allowed to randomly try and prank people and the Master as the RP goes on?

Pranking the Master carries danger of losing Favour (less than 0 Favour == Fired). The other Maids? Sure.

The Stress Blowout mentions pranking the Master too.

As long as she's careful and appeals to his sense of humour, it'll be fine.

Then again, the master won't be any older than 12 (and will likely be closer to 7) here, so picking on a little kid might be considered going too far.
