Title: Bizaar Tales
Post by: HinterWelt on April 10, 2008, 10:48:53 PM
As mentioned in Clash's thread, this is my "heretical system". May not interest you if you want a heavy system but apparently I am not an "indie" or "light" game designer. ;)

This is a system I made up about 20 years or so ago. I am going off memory so it may not all be there. We played it for about a year and a half or so and it was great. Still, in the end, I had thought something a bit heavier was needed for the commercial market.

It is 2 pages and includes two example characters.

Enjoy!

Yeah, and the scary thing is I liked it.

I was always playing with the bidding system so that part is a bit fuzzy.

"Wager"? Dice pool? "someone might get shot but that is not the point". You and the players had a lot of fun playing it? Damn shame you haven't [yet] fleshed out the whole thing and put it to paper. :( ;)

It is on paper...unfortunately on paper in a moving box somewhere in the garage.

This was a quick version from memory. I am quite confident it could be improved on.

I agree with Dwight. If you have some time and the urge to tinker, I think it's worth some work. :D

Do you have anything you would like to see? I know I need to get down cooperative actions and recovery. Anything else?

Edit: Just so you know, I am seriously considering bringing back Bizaar Tales to replace Iridium Lite in  the Squirrel games. I think it would be a good fit.

If you don't have much time send me some scans/faxes when you get it out of the boxes and I'll help, if only to type.

Bogie the Squirrel? From what I've seen I agree 100% with that assessment. Damn, I guess that means I'm not going to get the scan as you'll have to keep this confined to your top secret lab and to people you have compromising pictures of.

He did.  In Chicago it's called "Some Guys over by the Stockyards." It's a real hoot.
