bryantNote to self: the Miike RPG has six stats, arranged in three pairs. Love/Obsession, Violence/Brutality, and Sex/Possession. I suspect that when I write the game and stick it behind a content warning, that last pair will become something more explicit and raw; "Possession" is a muted form of what I have in mind. I think the rating in each pair remains constant -- so you could have 3 dots in Love/Obsession. The question is how you manifest it.
I have this unformed mechanic in which character creation involves each player telling stories about their character until someone says "OK, that squicks me."
I am not sure that I would actually want to play this game, but I kind of want to write it.

Date: 2004-12-09 03:53 pm (UTC)...but please don't make it a game in which there is competitive squicking.
'cause, see, I have a broken Caution Filter about that sort of thing, and I tend to go WAY overboard and say things that not only squick people, but tend to make them want to avoid me.
So, for my own good, no competitive squicking, please. :-)

Date: 2004-12-09 02:32 pm (UTC)You might want to call it the Tom RPG.
Because my character creation will only be about 1/10 of a story.
"So my guy digs Barney--"
"STOP! Squicked!"
"I didn't even--"
"Squicked! Stopping now!"
