Tactical Waifu
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.
