Maid - the Role Playing Game
A humorous Japanese-language RPG about women cleaning the house of a master where wacky events occur. There is no physical combat system¸ but there is a conflict system where the loser accumulates Stress points. When a maid has greater Stress than her Spirit rating¸ she has a Stress Explosion. Maids also gain points of Favor from the master¸ which can be used to boost rolls¸ reduce Stress¸ to raise attributes¸ or invoke random events. There are three charts of random events for Outer Space¸ Modern¸ and Fantasy -- including many game-changing events. There are two supplements: Koi Suru Maid RPG and Yume Miru Maid RPG. Koi Soru Maid RPG has an introduction and errata¸ rules for playing a head maid or butler¸ rules for generating a master¸ tables for designing a mansion¸ rules for romance and enticement¸ comforting (to reduce someone else's Stress)¸ costume changes (a table of 36 alternate costumes¸ each with a Favor cost and special rules)¸ items (in a D666 table of 216 of them!)¸ and a total of 13 different random event tables. Yume Miru Maid RPG is mostly a scenario collection¸ but it also has rules for complexes and apprentices¸ tables for two new settings (Old West and Old Edo)¸ a second table of costume changes (including plugsuits¸ Gundam uniforms¸ and hero suits)¸ and a weather table. - A description fromdarkshire.netwith kind permission of John H.
