TTP seems to be a way of playing NGH with a bit more edge, or when you don't know where any established lines are. I think of Kill Puppies as a TTP game - Vincent's always talking about the 'line' that KPFS players come closer and closer to, and sometimes cross over. I think that line might be where it actually hurts. Certainly you could play KPFS as a Nobody Gets Hurt game of buffoonery, or as a truely twisted I Will Not Abandon You game of friendship and betrayal and pathetic evil. The problem I see with playing TTP is as Mark W pointed out: it leaves a great big hole open for 'macho bullshit'. Who's going to be the first to say "Ok, that's enough with the granny smashing. No more granny smashing" ? As for actual play tools around NGH and TTP, I suggest / reccomend using "Ouch/Oops". If someone reaches a line, you say "Ouch" and explain as needed. If you accidentally cross a line you know exists, you say "Oops" which lets the other players know you are aware you crossed a line, and it was an accident. This takes the whole judgement piece right out of the picture, so you don't have to fuss about how much IC racism os too much, or whatever |
