y’know, i was looking at that maid wiki and it seems like it could modified into a SUPERS game pretty readily….

the emphasis on “outfit” is very supers friendly…. the headdress would be either the cape or if you’re a NO CAPES! kinda guy or gal, it can be the chest emblem.

you can swap out “the master” for “the masses” and you get favor (or mebbe “good p.r.”) for rescuing them. drop below zero and you can get fired as a super and forced to resign or maybe become a villain!

not sure how “seduction” would be adapted though… gotta think about that…. maybe adapt it to a CORRUPTION MECHANIC… like tenra – power corrupts – inevitably. oooo, that might work.

random events would work great too.

can’t wait….

No, I bought them at the Koplow Games booth. I did buy some precision edge dice for a friend of mine at the Gamescience booth though. (And my friend loves them by the way).

Damn! I was in such a frackin’ rush that I stopped by the booth, picked up Hellas for my bud back in Baton Rouge, and TOTALLY MISSED the Maid RPG! Oh well…did you buy the rock,paper,scissors die from me at Lou’s booth?

Yeah, believe me that stuff drives me crazy. Two people went through and did editing, but some stuff got by them, and then a few more problems apparently cropped up during layout, so (as I noted in my newest post), the next order of business is to go through it with a fine-tooth comb and fix all of that stuff so we can put together an errata file and fix up the next printing.

Regardless, thank you!

Yo, I demoed and bought the maid rpg at gen con. It’s great, but there are a fair number of strange grammar/mistakes in the book. If you run a second printing I think you should do a bit of editing first. I still love the game though, thanks for bringing it to america!

Honestly, Maid RPG can be about whatever you want it to be about. The setup with seeking the Master’s favor often becomes a framing device for something else, and the Master’s superiority doesn’t have to be that cut and dry. Think of it first and foremost as Teenagers From Outer Space or Toon, but with maids.

sweet! i can’t wait to get this and tenra to complete my j-rpg collection!

alas i’m of the type that probably won’t be too into playing a hot oiled up french maid but considering that the game (at this point with my limited info) seems like it’s about currying favor with a master, i’m thinking it might be easily moddable to something involving “court intrigue” and being a courtier and backstabbing and stuff. also i wonder how it will compare to something which is on the surface somewhat similar – my life with master.

interesting times. HURRY UP!

and rock on.

I talked to Andy about it, and we’d definitely like to do something like that. It’s a matter of one of us having the time to actually put something together. Andy’s WAY too busy with Tenra Bansho Zero stuff, so it’ll fall to me mostly. I have some ideas, but it’ll take a little while to assemble.

Any chance of a quickstart or demo edition of Maid? I’m from Brazil and I see that Maid RPG could be very fun here, mainly ’cause all the lollita and yaoi/yuri otakus from here (Ouran and PrinPrin are best sellers here).
