Day Twenty, Addendum: Lasers & Feelings

On Day Twenty I statted up Lt. Aroha Pearl for Star Trek Adventures but I forgot the post-script! You see, Hiria and I actually made rules for Lt. Pearl in TWO systems. The first was the maximalist Star Trek Adventures, with all its characteristics and talents and values and skills and meta-currencies and what have you. The second was the minimalist Lasers and Feelings.

That's the whole game there. You can download a nicer version here: Lasers & Feelings by John Harper

Lasers & Feelings is a micro-game by John Harper, who also wrote Lady Blackbird (which I've played, and it's great) and Blades in the Dark (which I haven't played, but my friend tells me it's great too.) Characters have one stat only. All rolls are either Lasers (science, rationality) or Feelings (emotions, intuition. You want to roll under your number for Lasers, or over it for Feelings. If you roll equal, you get Laser Feelings and get to ask the GM a question. 

So here's Lt. Aroha Pearl for Lasers & Feelings:

Lt. Aroha Pearl

Intrepid Doctor

4

Goal: Advance medical science.

If Star Trek lookalikes aren't your thing, there's a whole lot of other games using this system too. Have a look and see what you can find! It's a great game for a one-off or a convention.
