NoVa Game Chef thingie and Superpower DRYH?

[buddha_davis]

Okay, a few of us NoVa/Game Parlor rpgers are doing an rpg design/Game Chef kinda thing, which should be fun!  I've stalled out on Dog/Fight and Armament for now, but I'm not running from them or anything... just taking a break while I do some actual playing of rpgs!!!

Also, I've run DRYH now, and I likes it quite a bit.  So of course, now I have to

Ooohhhh... I like the Wraith idea! Fight/Flight works great, but I don't know if there's something more flavorful... I only know a little about Wraith. Oh! You gotta make it so that when Shadow Dominates, the person next to the player narrates, like someone else used to control the Shadow in Wraith! (I think that's what they did, right?)

If you keep the rules balanced the way they are, it's really easy to mod DRYH.

I /was/ toying around an Aberrant-like idea, with Madness = Taint, but I took a long look at what I really wanted out of superhero stories, and focused in on one key idea that really interested me: What are the consequences of having and using power? In other words, how does it change your life, and how does it change the world to have powers and to have these powered people running around!

Man, you're getting me all pumped up for this! More tomorrow, 'cause I really, really have to go!!!

Hokay... Too much work at work, not gonna get much of a chance to do Superpowered DRYH, but here's another little DRYH mod to keep y'all busy... Needs work, but I think of it as the Soccer Hooligan meets the Matrix version of DRYH:

Don’t Wake the Beast

Discipline = Control

Exh. = Aggro
Crash = Berserk? Flip Out!

Madness = Wrath
Perm = R-complex (Reptilian Complex)?
Fight = Lash Out
Flight = Swallow Your Rage? Hold it in? Repress? (Passive Aggressive, Let it out later at an inappropriate time)

Perhaps Flight is Lashing out at other things, and Fight is attacking the source of your anger? This kinda works as a Hulk-ish or Urge adaptation to DRYH, too...

Did I do something wrong putting this together? Should I put something up on various gaming sites or keep it local?

First of all, George... You can do no wrong! I think having a central site we can point to is perfect!!!

Ends: Saturday the 2nd of August at Midnight

Suggestions for ingredients taken up til the begin date, right, George?

Anyway, it's looking to be pretty low to no pressure to jump in and try your hand at game creation, so feel free to drop on by!
