 >>>I've been toying with the idea of a 'Jailbreak' multiform<<<

That should be pretty easy. If you run it at a con or a university club or
something, just set out the chairs and tables to represent the farmhouse,
and people will begin to multiform almost naturally.

(well, players who have encountered that kind of thing will, anyway)

--
I'm thinking more of a home-based game (since there's not much of a con
scene in Brisbane and I'm no longer part of a gaming club), using different
rooms of my house for the farmhouse. I could give out all the characters as
PCs, and then just set back and let them bicker amongst themselves.

If I do it, I think I'll need to abstract out most of the mechanics; I don't
want people to have to carry around a pair of dice all night. I'd also want
to abstract the passage of time; let each fifteen minutes block of realtime
be an hour or so of game time.

Something I'm just thinking about.

--
Multiforms don't take much prep. A Jailbreak *theatreform* could be
interesting, but I generally consider those games a wste of time and effort.

--
Not my sort of thing either. And not something I've been exposed to much -
Brisbane's very traditional in it's gaming style when compared to Sydney or
Melbourne. Multiforms are considered daring and not quite kosher up here.

What are you fucking looking at? What? You think I'm one of the nutless
freaks you peddle your watered-down gnat's piss to? One of your mental
barflies gone bad? I'm a fucking journalist! I am working!
