Hi people. I come here looking for some help and I faithfully believe you will deliver readily. Lets try:
I'm heading at a dizzying speed towards my 20th birthday and I want to throw a little party and invite some friends. So far so good. The deal is that I want them to have fun, and not just sit around the house drinking beer and chating as in any regular reunion. And since we're not your regular PARTY crew, loud music and orgies sadly won't work. So games is the way to go. The problems is there a limited amount of party games we know and we have played them all.
So, and here is were you come in, in order to dodge the same old games and offer something made of win I can't think of anything better than rolepaying games.
Truth is that here in Argentina roleplaying games are not nearly as exploited as in other countries such as the US. And although we have all heard about them at least from TV, they're pretty much virgin land. I myself have never played one and my conection to this page exists thanks to the webcomic.
So I guess my question would be:
¿Could you provide me with any roleplaying game adaptation for parties, which would be fun to play for begginers and doesn't need a pre-existing universe or a book of rules to work?
In other words a game which is easy to learn, short in duration, paraphernalia free or almost-free and which involves participants playing roles for fun and prizes.
We're mostly wanna-be actors (including self), so creativity-friendly is the main goal.
You make it seem like so much fun, and you certainly manage to play in very different circumstances and escenarios, so I'm sure that a lighthearted party version is not out of your possibilities.
I apologize for my spelling and my wording and for the possibility of this forum not being the right place for the thread.
Thank you for being such a lovely and well organized community and for creating the SMBG forum for people like me. I would participate in other forums but as I stated I don't know the first thing about roleplaying games.
Gooda bye.
