Japan kicked it to the curb!

I mean, come on, a table-top role playing game where you rolepay maids. I like them, but I am just so used to play brainless brutes (mercenary or barbarian) or cowardly rogues that I cannot mentally picture my near-30 self calling one of my fellow rolepayers “Ojou-sama”.

I am frankly doubting the maturity of the players. From my personal experience, the majority of the gaming tables can’t properly role play court intrigues like in Legend of the Five Rings or police investigations like in The Call of Cthuluh. Not to say it is a bad thing tho. It’s only bad if you are one of these “SERIOUS BUSINESS” game masters.

As far as my personal scope goes, I can’t see how a game can go nice and dandy without my players joking about “office affairs” or “cigars”. Maybe it is one of these games you would properly enjoy with a boatload of whisky, coca cola, beer and weed. Maybe that is it, the secret of happiness in a tabletop rpg, loose expectations and lot of “artificial paradises” devices.

EDIT:

krisslanza, the girl who showed me the link, had gotten her hands on a pdf of the book and rolled Sheba meido for the lol:

Sheba meido is:

- A pure lolita
- Nekomimi Mermaid
- Low athletic and affection stats.
- Kinda low in Cunning stat.
- Kinda low in Luck.
- Average Will
- Had a tragic love story where lover have died.
- Have learnt Necromancy.
- Act like a spoiled brat when under stress.
- Have a hammer as a signature weapon.
- Her dress is a hammer space as long as she is in the mansion.
- Can be tenacious.
- is a part of a shadow clan.

If I spin it well, she is a loli with poor battle skills, but compensate it with necromancy and hammer space. And she can be right at home in Gensokyo or Seto no Hanayome.
