Observations of the Fox

I'm thinking darkly. A game scenario which a bunch of generally independent variables. I say generally independent because they are each measured separately, but at the end we seem how many variables flip one way, and how many flip the other way, then apply a final outcomre bariable to the result. The premise is supernatural investigators, the game is basically a one-shot for these characters,  it may tell a part of an ongoing narrative in the vein of Cthulhu stories where one investigation is linked to the next, all focusing on a single cult or supernatural entity. The entity itself is vastly superior to the investigators, and even it's minions could kill them with little effort...the minions of the minions might be a more even fight, but even then the outcome is probably against the investigators.

Several years ago, I wrote a game about sentient animals in a caste system, vaguely inspired by the early myths and caste system of Hinduism. It is called "Rajah Spiny Rat". Highly experimental and probably not very playable, but filled with great ideas that have filtered through into my more recent work. It has basically sat available in a few locations with neither promotion nor revision...but for some reason, every couple of weeks someone somewhere downloads a copy. It would be nice to think that there are other people around the world breathing life into this text, or maybe using it to inspire their own games. Curious.
