Doom and CookiesTabletop Tuesdays: Roleplaying ala Lemony Snickett | Submitted by costik on Tue, 06/30/2009 - 16:50. |
Doom and Cookies is a 1000 Monkeys, 1000 Typewriters game, meaning it's a tabletop RPG created in 24 hours or less (and thus hasn't been playtested). It's a narrativist RPG in which the players are residents of a Victorian orphanage, from which they are attempting to escape as Doom closes in.
The wickedness of little girls has been well documented both in classic literature and in modern games, from Great Expectations to Rule of Rose -– and straight into the memories of our own high school days, when we moved in clandestine societies governed by unspoken laws. This theme gets a Roaring Twenties kind of patina to delectably twisted effect in Mousechief’s Dangerous High School Girls in Trouble, a pleasingly innovative hybrid between an RPG and a stat-based card game.
