Inspired by Ruby Rod.

Check it out on the 'Other Projects' page.  In pdf.

Right off, this is a fantastic, fun idea for a game. Having skimmed the PDF, your logic for the system seems pretty well thought out, for my tastes at least. I love the paparazzi results.

But what specific questions do you have?

Oops.

Just, does it flow?  Does it feel right?  Is it missing anything?  Does the system have enough strategy to it?  Does it work for its intended goal to be a tongue-in-cheek collaborative PvP game?

Where the heck *is* the Other Projects page? I cannot seem to find it and am convinced I'm losing my sight and/or my mind!

#10 on the Paparazzi chart is Over The Top, I feel. I think it would be best to tone it down by removing the swear words and "soccer". :)

I concur. Try thinking of how Ruby Rod would insult someone, "No fire! No energy! No nothing!"

I don't think there was a single swear word in Fifth Element, actually. Huh. Never noticed that.

You guys are right,  I should tone it down a bit.  I started thinking of all the lamest things and I think I lit on fire at child pageants (absolutely vile).  However, come Monday I'll make those changes.
Title: Revised Green

Got it.  Edited out the curse words.  Much better now from a flavor standoint and friendlier for playing [since 99% of it is narrative].
