False Faces

User summary: False Faces combines elements of a parlor LARP with very light-weight tabletop game rules. It can be played in a single session. One player assumes the role of the Mark (game master) and the remaining players assume the roles of Scuzz. During the game the Mark plans to pass on their inheritance (whatever that is--prestige, knowledge, wealth, etc.) and the Scuzz attempt to defame each other and finagle (presumably undeserved) favor with the Mark. Although most of the game is written narrative, some actions are resolved with a simple die mechanic.
