I was at a gig last night, the Supersuckers (self titled 'Greatest Rock and Roll band in the World). They rawked!

Also last week at SteveCon, Steve Darlington ran a killer game of Starchildren (there's a replay on RPGnet).

Tonight it's my turn to GM a one-off game in the 'creepy' style so I've decided to run EPRR - a Donjon variant. I also considered Killing Puppies for Satan for this but I think my tree-hugging-hippy wife might object.

The PCs will be a band touring a variety of shitty Mid West towns and bad things will happen.

I've paired down Donjon to just 3 stats and no saves/wealth/possession for this exercise.

The stats will be:
Looks - governs social interaction
'Tude - governs most physical interactions
Talent - governs all other skills

Players have 10 dice to split 3 ways. They also have 14 dice to spend on the 5 skills. Flesh Wounds is set at 3 for everyone.

We'll see how it goes and I'll report back later.

Game called on account of life. Hopefully I can run it soon.

Sounds neat.  I'd like to hear how it goes and more detail about your tweaks to the system.

Interestingly enough, the Supersuckers are from Seattle, just like Donjon, so that's a pretty good match-up. I'd like to hear more about this after you play - it sounds very interesting.
