Review of Bumps In The Night

http://groups.yahoo.com/group/bumpsinthenight/

There you will find my funky little game about small creatures scaring children, avoiding pets and eating candy entitles "Bumps in the night"

The basic premis of the game is thet you take the role of "bumps"-small monsters of a wide variety of shapes and sizes, and under the instructions of the B.O.S.S. (Bump Office of Scares and Security) are sent out to scare naughty children into being good for the protection of all bump kind.

Bumps are based on 3 basic stats (Body, Brains and Guts) and also have a fear rating to show how scarey they are. They also have a variety of features generated on a d100 table which should never give the same bump twice. Basically players roll up their bump, asign a few stats, draw their picture and give them a odd name. They are now ready for they first scare!

A scare is basically the bump term for a mission to the human world. This is pretty easy to run, as instead of a "dungeon crawl" situaltion, you can use the layout of schools, shops or houses you know. Trying to sneak through a catflap can be quite a challenge!

Antagonists include lumps (rebelious lazy bumps), Nightmares (horrific murdering bumps),Monster hunters (crazy old humans troubled by memories of bumps scares),housepets and of course pesky kids who set traps to protect themselves from the bumps in the night!

Overall its a fun little game that might be a good diversion if your game ends early some night...give it a look and I hope you enjoy it!

Boo!
