MAID is HILARIOUS! Simple, funny, with a bit of delightful competitions. I had two sessions of MAID with me as GM, and my team bursted into laughter in a second we get into character creation and it stayed that way through the end. It's lightweighted both rule and roleplay, such a good game to go with few drinks.

This game is NUTS, that's why I like it! Sometimes you have to let go of the gritty superhero battle or the murder hobo dungeon crawl and have some crazy fun. Last time we had a quick session, I found myself humming "Everybody Ought To Have A Maid". Grin

Maid RPG invites players to bring anime levels of shenanigans to their gaming night. Character generation and rules are simple, taking up a mere quarter of the actual book, with the rest being optional rules, scenarios and demonstrations. Standard games tend to be silly and erratic in nature and encourage players to mess with each other. Shamelessly honest, it embraces anime references, tropes and cliches, all the while acknowledging some of it is not for everybody (both facts I greatly appreciate).

Maid is a game that can be started in a matter of minutes. Your entire character can be created by rolling, and all the character creation is comedic and cosmetic. This game has very few, if any, mechanics, and is focused on story-telling and having a fun time pining after Master, or protecting Master, or assassinating Master... and then bringing him back to life... to assassinate him again... because you want to. To date, Maid has been my favorite roleplaying game, because of how easy and fun it is. I highly suggest buying it for times when you have an hour or so to kill with some friends.

Gioco molto bello, regole semplici ed immediate, creazionedei personaggi rapida ma non minimale. Inoltre ilmanuale ti lascia completa libertà per quanto riguarda avventure e ambientazione. Tabelle ben costruite e che non lasciano nulla al caso. Unica pecca che ho trovato nel manuale sono gli scenari introduttivi, la maggior parte li ho trovati banali e poco coinvolgenti. Il manuale lo ho trovato per caso e lo ho pagato poco, ma vale tutti i lsoldi che chiede

This games is brilliant in it's simplicity. It's tongue in cheek nature and the way the GM has very little story to write is great.

It is character and story lead and highly amusing, with brilliant things such as loosing your underwear acting as a negative modifier.

Even if you don't play the game, you'll enjoy this book on a purely nerdy level. It features a lot of asides and nods to not only otaku culture but roleplaying as a whole, as well as a plethora of anime references. There are a few "sample" characters wandering around that are really a great representation of the fun that can be had, even if you're creating characters on your own, and not actively getting a game together.

From a fairly brief scan of the book-- I purchased both the PDF and the physical copy-- I found the art to be charming, despite being a little sparse, and the gameplay relatively easy to pick up. It requires few die or supplies, so you don't really have to do a lot of work to set up. Once you have a scenario in mind, you just follow the tables in the book to flesh it out and go to town with maids either randomized with dice rolls or completely customized, from their hair color and uniform of choice down to their personality and type.

There is some combat, but the crux of the game is pleasing the master (or mistress, as the case may be)-- who is the equivalent of the DM, sporting a character similar in construction to a maid but with different rules and autonomies. In some game styles, the 'master' is omitted entirely, or played by everyone, allowing each player to have their own character.
