I have not play-tested this but did run trials on character generation (which is really what this is about). Feel free to flex the set up times to fit your group. I had a lot of fun and think it would be interesting to play at least as a one-shot. I hope to bring this to the table soon and see the hilarity. Thanks to RPG Geek and everything I have read in the interim since coming back to RPGs.
