I've bought many as well without ever really playing them. I got a few GURPS Basic set last year plus Banestorm, also the Shadowrun 20th anniversary edition, & 3 Premium 1st AD&D hardbacks. But then I went on a break. Before I went on my break, what I decided to do was use the Mythic system...
Gruffle
Gruffle looks around at everyone from the computer
with the accounting spreadsheet, then gets back to
facing the computer to try & figure it out.
OOC: messed up on the dice. ignore all results except
the last two. I subtracted the - 5 penalty. I'm not sure
if I have a skill of...
Jimmy & msyelf already failed it. Jimmy
has an accounting skill & my math wizardry
skills couldn't figure it out either. Let's face
it, this guy looks pretty clean so far. So we
may need to perform a simple con job to
get to the truth.
Shouldn't the accounting roles be hidden roles?
Basically if we "fail" it simply means that for all
we can tell the books are clean. And we'll need
to see about finding some other route to find
corruption.
I was thinking the next plan might be to ask the
Lab Head if he'd like to go out for a...
Gruffle
"You're looking at it all wrong Jimmy. Why
don't you try again? I don't have the accounting
skills, but if we can't figure it out here, I say
we get a copy of the data & take it over to an
accounting firm to look at." says Gruffle.
To the group & out of earshot of any clerical
staff...
It seems ok so far. Reminds me of Modern setting with some
scifi elements added in. There's different ways to play sci-fi. One
way is this way..taking a Modern setting & extrapolating the future
on top of it. The other way is to take a Medieval or fantasy setting.
For instance, I just...

Gruffle enters the room & takes a look around
(OOC: what does this office look like?).
"Hello Jovan. We're here to do an audit. Kindly
point us to the books & give us a tour of the campus.
Please note that if we find anything out of the
ordinary, you'll likely be the first one to...
Gruffle
Gruffle gives a sneer at the woman's attempt at
being flirtatious. "Excuse me, Human, but we need
to speak to your boss. Please get him out here or
show us to his or her office."
Gruffle
"Let's head in & announce ourselves." says
Gruffle. Gruffle looks around at the area,
trying to determine the distance from HQ
back to the tram & to look for anything
unusual such as additional security guards
or just anything that looks suspicious.
OOC: What does the Simulgrab...
You ever hear of the Dumarest of Terra Saga?
Apparently that's where a lot of the high passage/
low passage stuff. The guy wrote 33 books for
the saga & it's about the guy, Dumarest, going
from one planet deep in the Milky Way galaxy
& traveling back to Earth. Each book is basically
Dumarest on...
Gruffle
Gruffle turns to Billy & says, "So what's
your idea of an underhanded shenanigan
exactly? And what do you think of your
boss?"
OOC: Gruffle is trying to see if he can
catch Billy in a lie. Defaults to Perception - 6,
which will be 8 or less for Gruffle.
Gruffle
Gruffle interjects, "We're from off-planet visiting
by request from HQ. If you don't mind my asking,
how do you like the work at Simulgrab? You
been employed there long?"
