It's not just an otaku's dream, it's an RPG!

This thing is a hoot!  One page, quick-paced slam-bang anime' action that absolutely does not take itself seriously.

Seriously, folks, I laughed myself light-headed just reading the rules.  Maybe I'm too easily amused these days?

Sometimes laughter is the best medicine.

Also seriously:  this might make a good framework for quick anime' based adventures.  It's a hack of Lasers & Feelings (a free game)

Wanna find it?  Google is your friend.  (Tactical Waifu is also free.)

Let me know what you think.

Seems nice, but more like a watered down version of Maid RPG.  Was that intentional because Maid RPG was more complex?

In reply to Redfoxmagi (msg # 2):

I don't think it really has that much to do with Maid, as it derives directly from Lasers & Feelings.  No doubt, it might seem similar.  (Sure seems like it would punch some of the same trope buttons...)

I just found it amusing.  I might bring printed copies to my next across-the-table game session just for kicks.  Seems fairly engaging and playable for a one page system.

There was an idea on another forum that strikes me as a nice twist:  sempai doesn't really exist - he's an android.  S.E.M.P.A.I. = Sentient Emulated Male Protagonist with Artificial Intelligence or some such.  That, or he's completely imaginary, resulting from obsession, drug-induced hallucination, brainwashing, too many dating sims or eroge, etc.
