And, you know, we just like messing with people. Seriously, standing at the booth and seeing people's reactions is one of the most amusing things I've done in a long time. People have usually made up their mind about it by the time they finish reading the title.

I'm all over that. That Hellas just looks like a whole lotta fun. I’m definitely going to pick it up when I can get it. 300 meets Aliens? I’m all over that.

A better stop than the company's older website listed above. Try http://www.hellasrpg.com/joomla/ for Hellas. A better stop than the company’s older website listed above.

It is the first game mentioned at Gen Con to catch my interest. Purely from a reviewer's stance you understand. Of course, you would think that the publsihers would chose something a little less odd, a little less open to misunderstanding than the MAID RPG. I am just hoping that it is a more romantic version of My Life With Master. In the meantime, I am coincdentally awaiting the arrival of the Emma Manga, but that is for my daughter. Honest. Well, she really is Managa mad. I love the slapped together feel of the MAID RPG’s website.
