I picked up this game a while ago and it looks hilarious to play. Unfortunately, I've got nobody to play it with. So, I figured I'd ask around here. Have you ever played this game?
So what the heck is MAID anyway?
MAID is a Japanese role playing game that was originally written in 2004, and then translated into English in 2008. It's a comedy game, but also known as a Beer and Pretzels game, meaning that it's designed primarily for quick one shot adventures that don't last longer than a couple of hours. The rules are light and all you need is a pencil 2d6 and a humorous imagination.
The plot:
You play as a Japanese maid, an anime style character. Building a character is as simple as rolling on a bunch of random roll tables using a d66 mechanic. This means that you use two six-sided dice, with one representing the tens placeholder and the other representing the ones placeholder. Characters are meant to be quirky-- so that they can break the normal Laws of Reality.
In game play, you serve a Master (the Game Master), and your job as a Maid is to ensure your Master's pleasure. This doesn't necessarily mean anything erotic, as there are plenty of ways to offer satisfaction to somebody, but it's also on the table, so to say. Anyway, the Master, who is a filthy wealthy person, and you assign tasks for your Maids. The Maid that performs the best job, is rewarded, while the other Maids gain Stress (sort of like Damage in other game systems). Basically, you as a Maid are in competition with the other Maids. And remember that comedy is a central part of the game
