Feedback -West side Horror

[Rob Lang]

Pros/Cons
+ Like monster creation
+ Singing
- Players should not know monster weakness (random roll by GM?)
- Needs better explanation of what PCs are, if you have more than one PC etc.
+/- Love is important to WSS but mechanic is a bit weak.

Must include an NPC called Keeton
Didn't jump out at me. Is it there?

Proximity: How close to the two films is it?
Feels more Little Shop than West Side. I think picking two similar-set films is a bit "easy".

Complete: Is it complete? Could you run it?
Mostly complete. My problem is that story games require a lot of input from the players. This is ok but you tend to need more assistance from the ruleset to give the players an imagination kick start. There just isn't enough context here for a player to latch onto. My players wouldn't sing. No way.

Attractive: Is it attractive to look at?
3-column landscape is ok to read. Nice font choices.

Professional: How much effort went into layout and style?
fair amount of effort. Could do with some extra line spacing.

Extras: Did they include actual cover, index, character sheet or any other cool things you get in a proper RPG?
Cover is cool, very little other extras.

Conclude
If it wasn't a 24 hour RPG, I think it would be better. Needs more flesh for the players to riff off. I can't find a Keeton, which means it's disqualified. Am I just being blind/dumb?

I ended up rushing about and forgetting that part and trying to errata that in so that the Monster's name is always Keeton, but yeah it was totally DQed because of it.

I will also admit that the +singing made me smile.
