Jeepform is a larpform that has its origin in Scandinavia. Someone called it "Its to LARP what Forge games are for traditional P&P games". As far as I know (which is little) it's more about playing a soap OR "something deep" (whatever that means).

I wouldn't play it, altough I have a little interest in that whole soap opera thing, because soap opera I have in my real life and that "deep shit" I don't wanna play. And I don't like LARP. This gang rape thing now is ... not meant to be fun, so it's not a game. I don't think anyone except the writers of that setting have ever ... played (?) this. If the found someone playing the victim.

Jeepform itself isn't bad (in my opinion), but this adventure crosses the line. Who would want to play that?

Paul B, apparently.

OMG think of the children.

Y'know, for years I heard the phrase, "Sitck your head up your ass," but I'd never actually seen someone do it before now.

Quote from: Drohem;349818What exactly does this post mean?  I'm not familar with whatever the "tyranny of Unfun" is.

If you will look on the thread list for this forum, you will see a thread called "Tyranny of Fun" that talks about how a particular game focuses too much on the concept of fun.  I think it's an inane thread, for what that is worth.

Anyway, this game specifies it's NOT about fun.  So I was making a joke about a "Tyranny of Unfun".  The joke is at the expense of the people who groused about a "Tyranny of Fun", rather than actually being about this game, by the way.

It's encounter session therapy as entertainment.  It's like confusing medications for recreational drugs, but lots of people still do it.

!i!

I told you so.

Also, it'll be hilarious to see all the Usual Suspects now coming out to defend GANG fucking RAPE.

Well, hypothetically speaking... if it's me and the Dallas Cowboy's Cheerleaders...

I love these threads; they're like fucking flystrips for people to throw into the ignore function.

You cannot ignore their girth.

Wait - isn't "gang FUCKING rape" redundant?

Well, the rules for this jeepform on online there.  Set up a session, and let us know how it goes.  I have a fair hand at graphics design, I can whip up a couple of posters so you can advertise at the FLGS.

Quote from: Paul B;349820Uh...that's a pretty slippery slope.

Fuck that. This isn't, oh SPANK or Hot Chicks the RPG. Have moral sensibilities descended so low that a game about GANG RAPE is really undeserving of criticism for its inherent and extreme tackiness?

Thankfully, it does seem to just be you so far as this thread goes.

QuoteDo tacky fanservice RPG book covers get a pass?

When in company of this league: Yes.

QuoteHowzabout thinly veiled racism? Genocide?

No and no.

Now, are you going to tell me that my moral compass is somehow skewed?

QuoteI'll be sure to wag my disapproving finger at those damned boffer LARPers and SCAers next time they try and spread their filth.

Yeah, because LARPS and boffers are what's wrong with this game... NOT!

A few general comments.  You'll note that this is from 2008, rather than being a new thing.  It's made its rounds.  There were some people playing this at Knutepunkt 2009, and I've played other games with the author Tobias.  

For what it's worth, jeepform is not a "larp" in the sense of all action being mimed out physically.  Gang Rape uses an abstraction based on eye contact.  

That said, there's no arguing that it's fucked up.

I thought this thread was going to be about the return of F.A.T.A.L.

Imagine my disappointment.

I'm disappointed that the abomination was ever created for there to be a thread started about it.
