"The porn is a metaphor for the church?" -![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)

(We were talking about The Song of Solomon, so it did make sense in context.)
"You're racist against Jedi!" -eldrad_ulthuan
Then we actually started our game. At the moment, we're playing Vampire in a WWII setting. My Ravnos went out for dinner:
"Mmmmmm, tasty Nazi." -andrastewhite
"Nibble Nazis Nuts!" - Fi
And then the Brujah picked up a snack at the bar:
"Do you want to come up to my room for a special drink?"
It looks like I'll be running the Transformers game I've been toying with (no pun intended) at leas for a day in August. That's assuming I'm right in thinking thatapathocles wouldn't mind spending an afternoon playing TF while she's in Melbourne ;). I have two players lined up, yay! Running off Big Eyes, Small Mouth since it's good for mech stuff and I know the system.
Working out the ground rules now. Thinking out loud:
- It's G1 'toonverse continuity, post-Season Three. The Rebirth never happened. (Hey, if the Japanese can ignore it, so I can.) Optimus is alive, Galvatron has been cured of his insanity.
- Autobots and Decepticons are both allowable as PCs. (There's an explanation, but it would be a spoiler.)
- Femme Autobots more than welcome. No Deceptifemmes without a damn weird backstory to explain why they exist in the first place.
- There's a simple ground rule for choosing an alt mode: if it's stupider than turning into a tape deck, you can't do it.
- Also, no PCs the size of buildings, because the mechanics of getting them to interact with the rest of the cast make my brain hurt.
- The rules of physics are more what you'd call guidelines.
There are a whole pile of Attributes/Defects/Skills that won't be allowable. (Funny as a Wind Powered Transformer would be, it's not very practical.) Also combing the net for more to add to make up for those I'm deleting. So glad enterprising players have already made up rules for characters being Hyperactive, Grouchy and Insane *g*.
I should not be allowed to invent NPCs while in the midst of an obbession with certain other shows. There's this one Autobot who turns into a green 1971 Buick Riviera ...
