The Surge Games

Games made using !uasurge.

They work as follows:

Every character has 2 stats.

Who You Are
Everything Else

You have five points to put among those stats. Who You Are is a sumary, like Police Officer. Nice Guy. Dude. Cool Dude. Etc. It should not exceed three words.

You have two derived stats:
Sanity, and Health.
Sanity is Who You Are X2.
Health is Everythig Else X2.

Because of the Law of Fives, there is no fifth stat.

All the PCs will be related. This can be brothers, parent and child, grandparent etc, but it will be closely related. Step-children is possible. Cousin etc. is too far removed. Invisible playmate is possible, if players are willing.

Genre is up to the players. Ditto with settting.

You then use !uasurge 10 times – in channel (!uasurge 10), and pick from 2 – 5 of those to apply to your character. They can, of course, be wiggled around to make some kind of sense. Then we run a session. Simple, yes?

Why, so simple anyone could run it!

This is a Hint.

EDIT:The determinator for Sanity and Health can be reversed if it fits a character better. (Sanity = Else, health = Who.)
