Bizarre RPGs

[Zander]

A few years ago, I co-authored an RPG called Incarnate. The premiss was that the PCs had had past lives and could draw upon knowledge and skills from before they were born. It also meant that PCs and NPCs could know each other from their past lives which added a whole new level of complexity. Imagine if your beloved wife in this life turned out to be your killer in a previous life! The RPG is available free as PDF here.

Zander,

Very interesting. Have you ever played Nephilim by Chaosium? It seems to have some of its past life flare.

Though not a "bizarre" game, Nephilim is a fantastic game.

Your right it may not be "Bizarre", but it is/was not main stream. I kinda wish I hadn't gotten rid of my Nephilim books a few years ago.

Nephilim itself is not mainstream, but being put out by Chaosium made it kinda mainstream.

Anyone have any good recommendations for military-esk type games.

I wouldn't mind finding something set in WWII. I know of a few, (1) for GURPS and (2) weird wars.

A bizarre one based in WWII would be interesting.. Does anything exist?

There's Godlike, which is a superhero game based in WWII. Where people have started spontaneously manifesting superpowers (as a side note apparently it can be influenced by a person's background/interests so the Allies start handing out superhero comics to the soldiers).

All Flesh Must Be Eaten (a zombie apocalypse game) has at least one setting for WWII.

Neither game is especially bizarre though.
