QAGS (Quick Ass Game System) (2e)
A tongue-in-cheek minimalist RPG system intended for use in any setting. A character has 3 attributes (Body¸ Brain¸ and Nerve) along with a Job¸ ""Gimmick""¸ and Weakness. An additional stat is ""WSPHITM"" (Who should play him/her in the movie?). - A description from https://darkshire.net/jhkim/rpg/encyclopedia/ with kind permission of John H. Kim"

"QAGS is about fast¸ fun and generally cinematic gaming. Most of all¸ it is about a group of players being able to say 'Let's play that Babylon 5-meets-Buffy-meets-Fear Factor-meets-Super Lesbian Troopers Seventeen game tonight...' and then being able to create characters and a game within thirty minutes."--Conan McKegg¸ RPG.net
