Mary Sue: The Desecration- Mythos Parody RPG system

[TheCrazyMuffinMan]

BTW: If there is a better place to put entire, stand-alone systems, I have no problem with this thread being moved there.

This is an RPG system I built from scratch, which parodies common narrative tropes, while having a rules system that's fairly open, and actually intertwined with narrative elements. I have not playtested it with another warm body, but I have revised it for balance and plausibility.

It's about half of a year in the making, and I really am looking forward to:

1) The Princess Peach treatment
2) Playtesting with one or more groups of anywhere from 1-4.
3) Suggestions on what to add and what to remove

It is -long- but worth reading. What do you think?

POST PLAY-TEST UPDATE:

The first playtest of the system (with TheEmpire, HolyGrenadeFrenzy and cyborgoplus (the last not on ENWORLD)) took six hours, but it was a great success. We aided a fledgling army in fighting a 200-man force and just managed to keep it out of the castle. At the end, we thinned their numbers to the point where they ended up surrendering.

Chatlog to follow.
