Happy Birthday, Robot!

Happy Birthday, Robot! is a great little storytelling game if you haven't come across it yet. I am not exactly sure when I'll be running Happy Birthday, Robot during PAX East, but I know that I am going to do so. Look for my signs in the gaming room, there are three major signs to represent the giving rating of the story, All Audiences, Mature Audiences, and FFFFFUUUU! There are also two special ratings, Awesome and J for Jimmy.
All Audiences and Mature Audiences pretty much explain themselves, FFFFUUUU! is of course a step beyond Mature, all bets are off for this particular rating and it will be done fairly late at night. The two special ratings have their own little quirks.
Awesome can happen anytime as an add-on to an existing rating whenever something Awesome gets introduced to the story. There are a few story hooks that start out rated Awesome such as
Rated J for Jimmy are three story seeds that are played in order. Other stories can involve Jimmy if players wish, but these must include Jimmy. Apologies to anyone who actually goes by Jimmy.
Here are all the story seeds I plan on using (and you can too, and feel free to add your own!) during the convention. They'll be written on index cards and shuffled randomly (Appropriate ratings at the time), and someone will pick one per session. The hooks are marked with their respective ratings (A, M, F).
The stories from the sessions I run will be compiled and posted over at the Operation BSU blog for all to see! Perhaps even the same night as we play the game, or the next morning, depending on how late it goes and how tired I am.
See you there!

Oh, oh god. Why am I now curious?
You're just going to have to play that particular story seed to find out more!
As I'm planning coming in Robotnik cosplay on the Friday, these fill me with deep, deep fear....
Tweet me @Landerolin
Oh...Oh dear.
I hope you can make it to one of the sessions being run with these while in costume. It'd be most interesting.
All I will say - One is rated Fffffuuuuu! and one is rated Awesome!
