Maid: The Role Playing Game
Monday 15 September 2008 @ 11:42 am | By Ivan 'Nahu' Lozano Comment now!If your tabletop gaming group is getting bored of slaying monsters and turning the undead, how about cleaning up the mansion? Maid: The Role Playing Game allows you to do precisely that, play as a maid serving in a mansion. This roleplaying game isn’t new at all in Japan but it is the first to get completely translated into English.
The official website describes it as:
You are a maid, having worked dutifully for the Saionji family for several years. You are also a shy albino princess who does odd jobs for the yakuza, and train with the three-section staff. Your peer Maya is an outgoing young maid with freckles, a streak of being greedy for sweets, and who also happens to be a military cyborg.
Your master is a kind teenager who lives in the mansion alone, but is a bit of a train otaku. He is also a cursed werewolf. With amnesia.
Somewhere between doing the laundry and preparing lunch, the master is kidnapped by evil ninjas. They escape through the basement of the mansion, which contains a portal to the Netherworld. It’s up to you to get him back before dinnertime.
All in a day’s work for a maid!
Translated by Ewen Cluney, the game features art by renowned doujin artist IWAKO. For about $30 bucks for the print version or $8 for the PDF you could be playing as a Maid, a Romance Maid, a Butler or a Master! Oh boy! And forget about the traditional RPG stats. Its all about athletics, affection, skill, cunning, luck and will in here. I have to say though, the thought of maybe breaking a few vases in a beginner campaign sure beats getting slaughtered by Kobolds, or worse yet, Dire Rats.
