Any of you have any experience with Maid RPG? How cringe was it? Did you run it like a shitty 2010s anime or adapted for a different tone?
Just read through the rulebook cause I heard it's good, but I don't understand how 75% of these games don't devolve into ERP.

>How cringe was it?
Weak mindset
Turns out that most people don't actually wanna do erp, and most people who do understand when it's appropriate.
Roll Athletics if you want to skate.
I guess you can also roll skill or luck
Rolled 2 (1d6)
Athletics of 3, let's see how I do
so that kickflip probably results in me faceplanting
Master thinks you're wack. LOSE FAVOUR.
Unironically the only game where cringy ERP is a problem is DnD. People in other games tend to have some functioning brain cells.
>the only game where cringy ERP is a problem is DnD.
ERP is always a problem you degenerate wienerroach.
Maids are not for sexual, you degenerate!
The rulebook itself sexuals them on every page. The creators want the game to be run like a 2010s harem ecchi show.
The creator, singular.
Also you're just projecting.
I'm not projecting. It's literally spelled out at the start. Have you even read the rulebook?
I dunno, man, have you? It always seemed to me the exact opposite considering this is on page 5:
>keep your "Maid RPG" anime at a "PG" or "PG-13" level.
....I never said otherwise. Get your reading comprehension straight. Sexualizing isn't necessarily R-rated.
"Harem ecchi show" makes me think of >>>/e/ which I would consider neither PG nor PG-13 and makes me still think that the original statement is inaccurate.
Then again, the lines of what someone would consider "sexualized" is going to depend on the individual. Excluding the optional tables that are marked as being more on the explicit side, I don't really think Maid RPG is inherently sexual. The rulebook generally goes out of its way to avoid being explicit and the tone reads more as "I will describe an object/situation/scenario and if you choose to read it as explicit because you're a pervert, that's your problem."
Anything can be made sexual, but, like, a maid outfit isn't a sex thing. It's a maid uniform. Yes, it's a common sex thing, but that doesn't make the thing itself sexual. Underwear is not a sex thing, it's a piece of clothing. If someone thinks that an image of a bra is explicit or suggestive, I think the problem lies more with them.
You could almost do a Yotsuba story with it.
Played one session with an ex-GF and some old friends something like 5-6 years ago set in a high school tyring to get the attention of the club present. Half the school was demolished by 3rd period. It included frankly upsettingly well constructed monologues and a significant amount of pidgin weeb speak. It was the cringiest shit I've ever experienced and I wouldn't have had it any other way.
honestly that sounds amazing
It was almost my first tabletop experience. Yes I knew what I was getting into. But unfortunately, something came up that day and I couldn't make the session. I still have my maid from one of those character maker flash games with her stress explosion expressions and everything.
absolutely based
Holy crap. Almost a decade ago there was a thread of venting about bad DMs I saw where there was one really creepy DM that tried to hit on the one girl in the group, and after a bad game of DnD he sprung this game on them, and the last straw for them was when tentacles came out of the basement.
Until literally this thread I didn't know this was real. I just thought that he'd retooled D20 Modern to be weeb-themed.
It's good.
It's only cringe if you are.
Slapstick mildly ecchi comedy is a lost art form.
