The office life is something of which there have been millions of parodies, satires, comics, and movies of. And there are many things comical in it, so many that I've decided to make an RPG based exclusively off this somewhat unreal view of office life.

Your characters will be randomly picked to be a boss/underling of another character, but here's the catch: the CEO of this place - a huge, fat, balding man of forty or so - patrols the halls very frequently. He has a habit of switching his employees' positions at whim. So one day, your venom spewing boss might wind up quivering under your feet the next.

At the end of the (RPG) year, the lucky ones who have held (or just gained) the boss spot on the very last day will earn a huge (fictional) cash bonus, and their very own luxury cruise. And I will make them a banner they can wear in their signature as long as they want to, to poke fun at everyone else

I can promise lots of fun activities in this, some even possibly using a D&D dice roll to determine the outcome based on your character's office attributes.



CHARACTER SHEET:




Setting: Busy insurance company in New York, New York.


Rules:

-I'm the DM, blah blah. Ask me if you need help or aren't sure what to do.
-Romance permitted. Keep it PG-13
-Stay in character. Don't start bossing around your boss unless you want to be fired, early. Which brings me to my next point.
-If you act up too often, you might get fired, so be careful!
-HAVE FUN!!

Ok! Well, I'll make the char. sheet and we can start this up. Everyone's welcome.

Few questions, if we get fired, can we make a new character? Also, how do we use ours skills?

Yeah, you can make a new character if you get fired. And as for your skills, they'll come into play during interaction with NPCs, which is fairly crucial to your promotion. I won't be too hardcore on this, but I'll just use it for realism



Sure, we can start whenever there's enough people =)

Ok! Let's begin! Here are your assigned statuses.

Underlings:

Drathan Gervaise
Jonah Potter
Lilly McGriever

Boss for fraud claims:

Peter Martin

Underlings:

Finn DiMearo
Walter Buchan
Ella Megalast Burls Forever

As a boss, feel free to order people around as you like. Do keep in mind that the CEO comes around occasionally and without warning, so that the tables might be turned on you unexpectedly.

The office complex is on the third floor of the building. Imagine you're looking top down at it (I'll draw a map later). There are four offices on either side, the Customer Service people on the left and the fraud people on the right. At the front, in between the offices, there's a small elevator. In front of the elevator, there's a small area with restrooms and a water cooler.(Edit: map)

Anyone who has yet to post their character should do it today, but we can go ahead and start. All OOC in spoilers please.
