After breaking out my old book, my desire to play a bit of what is perhaps the finest roleplaying game ever made (and definitely one of the easiest) is quite high. Anyone willing to try one of Steve Jackson's best? If so, I'll explain the rules, and even come up with a workable replacement for the three minute rule...
Anyone up for some TOON?

I've always wanted to play Toon even though I don't own the books.
All right, let's begin.
First decide what you're going to play. (It can be anything. Your cartoon characters. Be creative.) Also don't worry about background--I'm not going to.
Next--you've got 14 points.
You've got 4 Attributes--Muscle, Zip, Smarts and Chutzpah. (If you're wondering what Chutzpah means--consider it nerve. Audacity. The ability to sleep with your best friend's wife, and go out with a beer for him later. And have him pay for the beer. That sort of thing.)
Now, divide the points among the Attributes. Realize, you can only bring an attribute up to 6, and all attributes must have at least a one.
You get that done, I'll take you to the next step.

Okay, I've decided.
It's best on an advertisement for mobile phone wallpaper.
Sweety - The cute little chick.
Sweety is a very small chick that just hatched out of the egg. He is very cute and very furry.
Muscle: 1
Zip: 4
Smarts: 3
Chutzpah: 6.
I'll let Rhialto guide me further.
