So after my comment in the Cat Pants Adventure thread Sal and I started talking shop in IRC about various elfgames. Then I saw someone bring up <<en.wikipedia.org/wiki/My_Life_with_Master|My Life With Master>> on another site, and I had a brainwave. tl;dr: MLIM is an rpg about a Master and his Minions. The Minions have to carry out tasks for their Master, and these tasks usually involve the Townsfolk, the ordinary people around them.

The aim of the Minions is to build enough of a connection with the Townsfolk to resist and possibly overthrow/kill the Master. Of course, it's possible that this can lead to Minions fighting amongst each other, since not every Minion may have connected enough to resist Master.

At the moment I'm thinking of ways to hack it for a hypno-themed game, but I'll probably run a Play-By-Post game of it here at some point.

You don't need a hack so much as you need a re-naming, really. Though some stats look like they could be changed. Maybe rework self-loathing to not "produce painful and tragic outcomes when a minion makes overtures to Connections" since it would essentially just represent the degree of the hypnotic influence. Add a pity boost to them to Weariness or something to compensate. Rename fear or something, depending on the master's relationship with the townspeople. Maybe rework the endgame so it doesn't necessarily involve death.
