This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Games that don't exist (and shouldn't)

Starlet: The Fadening™. A storytelling game about the futility of fame and popularity. Your character starts with 10 Starlet™ points, and immediately begins her inevitable slide back into irrelevance. You can temporarily recover your Starlet™ points with juicy scandals (nipple slip, sex tape, adopting a new corgi, unwanted pregnancy, drug clinic, vomiting video), but this irrevocably decreasesyour maximal Starlet™ rating. After a time, nobody gives a damn about you any longer and you end up broke and forgotten, The End.

There is also a version for men titled The Boy Sensation™, which plays the same as Starlet™, but has slightly different events (developing a paunch, attacking a reporter, getting arrested, caught crying and blabbering incoherently while drunk, drunken car crash killing innocents), and of course you have to buy it separately.
Now with a Zine!

Anything based on the premise that what would make for a good television drama, feature film, comic book or written work would also make for a good TRPG- especially if it's not focus on action/adventure and has no powers or gear that lets PCs supercede ordinary, everyday results.  (You run into the Decker Problem, and that's assuming that you give a fuck about this at all.)
