Title: KaffeInsomnia 24 Hour RPG
Post by: Jediblack on July 18, 2004, 02:22:49 PM
Hi all, I've just finished my 24 hours rpg... but there's a problem it's in italian and I don't think I'll be able to translate it before the 24th hour.

Is it a big problem?

However the italian PDF is here (http://www.davide.mazzocchi.name/KaffeInsomnia.pdf)

Well, it looks very stylish, so at least in that you get good marks.

As to what it's about, perhaps you could enlighten us English speakers?

Cheers & well done (I think!).

The game is about Kaffe (KF105), an artificial coffee synthesis. The year is 2010 and the world is ruled by KaffeInsomnia, the corporation that first made Kaffe. PCs can be Managers, Preachers, Technicians, Daredevils, Soldiers and all are addicted to Kaffe.

The game is half serious and half funny, cause PCs have to eat Kaffe to get a bonus on the dice, but they get addicted and so they don't sleep.

It's all. If you all don't mind I'll translate it in a few days... :)

See ya.

A game written in 24 hours about being hopped up on caffeine and unable to sleep? That's so self-referential it's almost post-modern.
