A recent announcement by some Story-Game members that they are working on an English translation of the Japanese Maid RPG. And I can't tell you how excited I am.

This is a very quirky sounding game, and from the few actual play reports I've been able to find, it also sounds like a lot of fun. Below is a short game description, just to give you an idea of how charming and bizarre this game is going to be.


In Maid RPG, the players take on the role of maids who serve a Master who lives in a mansion. That’s the basic setup, but what ensues is often an excuse for the most bizarre chaos imaginable. This is a game that embraces randomness. Characters have random Special Qualities, ranging from Freckles and Glasses to Stalkers and Cyborgs. During the game, characters earn points of Favor by pleasing the Master, and one of the things they can spend Favor on is causing Random Events.


Awesome.

Be sure and check out the site and bookmark them for future updates. The hope is to have the game out by GenCon Indy this year.
