I sent out questionnaires for the Intercon run of Better off Dead yesterday. I've gotten over half of them back. Already, I'm seeing some interesting things.
First off, there have been a number of people who do not want key elements of the game in their casting. Like being disliked at all. Or dressing up (the game has the word "prom" in the damn title!).
Know what that tells me about you? That you either a) did not read the game description, b) do not remember what it was like to be a teenager, or c) grew up in a bubble.
This game is set at a high school prom. Of course there is going to be drama, and of course no one is liked by everyone. They're teenagers, for fuck's sake! This is not the High School of Peace and Love. If you want to play someone loved by everyone, go play in the goddamn Rainbow-Brite larp.
Second, if you give them the option, 80% of male players will list "sexy librarian" as a character they'd be interested in playing. I approve.
