I brought Raving Rabbids TV Party with me to SF. I'll see if I can get people to play it on game day.

move out and draw fire

No, as far as I know that's not out yet. And while her system is OK, I'm not all that interested in paying for it, esp. since I have it as Serenity.

Basically we used the Savage Worlds rules, with optional fear rules, tweaked some of the psionic powers, and have been modding Cthulhu Now and similar for stories. The ritual magic has been the funky part to develop good rules for.

Omnis, ND says yes, basically, but the arcade has only a wired contoller (but you already have a wireless, so that shouldn't matter) and comes with fewer games.
