HGMO
I have a playable pile of notes for a yaoi-themed RPG. If anyone local wants to playtest it with me (it takes 2-4 players, and I would like to test at every group size) please let me know.
Yaoi (a Japanese acronym for something like no plot, no morals, no point ...) is a genre of romantic gay pornography (in both soft and hard core) targeted at girls. It features hot, hot men who can't help but express their forbidden feelings for each other. There are a bunch of other genre conventions (tops and bottoms have different personalities, etc.) but you get the idea.
The goal with the game (working title: Hot Guys Making Out, or HGMO) is to make a compact, heavily-genre-themed RPG that can be sold primarily to teenaged girls as the target audience. Basically, I want something to hold up at anime cons and say "this is the yaoi role-playing game."
The game has no GM, a structured narration style, and card-based mechanics. Influences include Bliss Stage, Spione, Misery Bubblegum, Breaking the Ice, and S/Lay w/Me.
Right now it's just a pile of notes that doesn't really work without me there. So only locals (or people who will be around Seattle soon). But as soon as I have a playable draft I will let other people know. Showing enthusiasm doesn't hurt.
