Maid RPG is fun, but when we try to play it with our group we find that we're a bit too British: we're not extroverted enough, and too easily embarrassed. We end up playing it more like paranoia: all trying not to reveal our cards or do anything risky.
Short of alcohol, what would people suggest...
I believe it's a translation of a Japanese RPG. There's a mansion staffed by maid girls. That's the players role. Things happen in/around the mansion and it's the maids job to protect the master of the house. Intended to be utterly silly.
Sketch was a very generic superhero game with a chargen system I found amusing. Start with a sheet of paper. Draw your hero. The book has tips that anyone can draw. Even if it's a stick figure with rocket boots. They gave some sample ideas too. Once you've drawn your character, you pass it to the left. That player distributes a pool of points to each of your stats (pool determeind by GM). When done, keep passing to the left until the sheet comes back. Your stats are the average.
There were some variant tips too, such as having each player write on a seperate sheet of paper, to prevent bias as the sheet goes around.
How should we promote this site, when we reach public beta.
So the SEO team has come out with some specifics for how they could help promote. What is the best way to reach the RP community?
Ahh. University work. Boss is gone. Boss is DBA. Chancelor of university wants information by end of day. DBA is the only one who can make sense of data!

Alright, so I'd like to offer up some of the modifications we've made on EpicAdvice.com to the Gaming SE if the community would be interested. Most of our modifications are pure Javascript modifications to the SE Engine (1.0) that should easily carry over to the new 2.0.
The primary one, if the...
Dark Heresy - You are a servant of the Inquisition, out to seek Heresy, Witchcraft, and Xenos wherever they may be. Usually you are sent to do the jobs they can't do without drawing attention to their status.
Rogue Trader - You and your crew are a part of a Rogue Trader ship, essentially a privateer of the Imperium of man. You travel beyond the known reaches of space to look for things that mankind might be able to use. You're above most forms of law, so long as you share your findings with the Imperium.
That one has some great rules for space combat, as everyone has to contribute to running the ship, not just the pilot.
A rank 1 deathwatch marine equals an ascended (epic) Dark Heresy character or Rogue Trader character of 14,000xp. A Rogue Trader is equal to a (non-epic) Dark Heresy Character of 4,000xp.
d20 Apoc. had the road warrior, d20 future has the fighter pilot
If I run a story arc in d20 future where the party transport has to land on a planet and can't leave it for some time, the person who took the fighter pilot class is going to feel ripped off.
While on the topic of Sci-Fi, I do like how Rogue Trader and a few bits of a Dark Heresy supplement discuss that using guns on a ship that would blow a hole in your hole is DUMB. So there are lots of melee weapon use, shotguns, and spray weapons (Fire, toxic goo)
