[Jeu] Le sphinx à deux fêtes

[Pyth]

J'aurais dû me faire confiance, j'avais pensé brièvement à Conspirations (les refs récurrentes à une ville + univers alternatif + la citation de Tom Waits qui me parlait furieusement) mais comme c'est Gridal, je m'étais dit que c'était forcément nettement plus obscur, le tout faussement confirmé par l'évocation de Trump et prout quoi.

Bon sinon zou, je m'y colle. On cherche un jeu de base jamais traduit.

AWKWARD*
For whatever reason, you have never felt like you fit in. Perhaps you’ve never been a joiner, nor have you ever had time for cliques and interpersonal politics. You wanted to be left alone, so you developed yourself in ways that would protect you if you were cornered by bullies or busybodies: you grew strong or quick, or you honed your mind. You excel at hiding in plain sight and manage to avoid most social interactions.
You gain the following characteristics:

• Versatile: You get 4 additional points to divide among your stat Pools.
  
• Skill: You are trained in tasks related to intimidation and any other fear-based interactions, if you choose to be frightening or disturbing.
  
• Skill: You are trained in disguise and stealth tasks.
  
• Inability: All tasks relating to pleasant social interaction are hindered.
  

Initial Connection: From the following list of options, choose how you became involved in the first adventure.

• One of the other PCs approached you while you were in disguise, recruiting you because they believed you were someone else.
  
• While skulking about, you overheard the other PCs’ plans and realized you wanted in.
  
• One of the other PCs invited you, but you wonder if it was out of pity.
  
• You slipped in before anyone noticed you.

C'est clairement le bloc d'un descripteur du Cypher System.
Mais impossible de savoir quel jeu précis. Je crois pas me souvenir de ça dans le Core book.

[Pyth]

Ce n'est effectivement pas le Cypher System rulebook.

Extrait #2 :

In a late-1970s TIME article, the magazine described him: “His overall demeanor and presentation to all who interacted with him was that of a self-styled cowboy; he wore ostrichleather boots, always had a Marlboro cigarette in his mouth, owned a ten-gallon hat in every color in the catalog, and spoke with a drawl so thick that he could easily be mistaken for a man out of time.” This, however, was misleading, if typical of the myths that accrued to the man.

Dallas RPG ?

[Mugen]

En supposant que le texte ne décrive pas un PNJ : Numenera ?

[Sans Visage]

Peut-être the Strange?

[Pyth]

Rien de tout ça, ce n'est ni Dallas RPG, ni Numenera, ni The Strange.

En supposant que le texte ne décrive pas un PNJ : Numenera ?

Pour l'extrait #2 on était plus sur un extrait du background du jeu que sur la descro d'un pnj.

Allez hop, direction l'extrait #3 :

BECKI (ADULT)
Complaint: I need medical attention and pain killers — I have a broken arm.
Background: Every day, for 365 days a year, Becki does the same thing, like clockwork. Get up, eat, work, do chores, make sure everyone is taken care of for tomorrow, and promise that this is the weekend she hits the gym. It has ground her down to a nub. For her vacation, she wanted to get away from it all to someplace where she could sit in an inner tube, drift, and drink the day away, for as long as her sunblock could last. And yet the family dragged her here. She voiced her complaints, but she still ended up here.
She tried to make the best of it, but now her damn arm is broken and she just does not care anymore. Becki has been in pain for hours and she is about ready to do anything at all to get out of here or at least to get something to dull the pain.
Behavior: Becki will repeatedly ask when PCs can take them home.

Je n'ai pas une connaissance exhaustive des jeux motorisés sous cypher et ne suis pas sûr qu'il existe un livre de base, mais ça me fait penser à First Responders.

[Pyth]

C'est vrai que pour l'instant ça aurait pu coller mais ce n'est pas First Responders (que je ne connaissais pas et qui après vérif est effectivement un supplément alors qu'on cherche un jeu complet, se suffisant à lui-même).
