chuckroWe had tested out the game Everyone is John about six months ago, and I commented on the experience. At the time, I came up with the idea that maybe we should make an "obsession deck", so whenever each player completed an obsession, they drew a new one, and the person with the most successful completions at the end was the winner.
Tonight, we tested that out. Three players, 10 willpower tokens, and each person submitted 5 obsession cards into the pile. Play until no one can draw another obsession. This worked fantastically. (We also kept my additional rules about testing for control at "shocking events" and unskilled checks succeeding on 5s, not that it helped people much.)
John convinced a women to repent and then dumped her into the Hudson river; led a confused parade through Jersey City; stole ice cream from college kids; masqueraded as a Rutgers student and started a Youtube sensation; appeared at a trial as a character witness (it didn't go well); convinced prison guards he was a Non-Coperican Braheian and it would be a hate crime to stop him from digging up a floor with a toilet seat; robbed a Banana Republic twice (once for clothing of either gender); got a job as a waiter; got really drunk and vomited on a cop; got pushed out a window by the KGB (they wanted the girl he'd drowned earlier); and rose as a zombie so he could stun a rat with a hot dog and eat its brains. A full day!
A++ Would play this variant again.
