From publisher blurb: The Roleplaying Game of an Industrialized and Technological Society in which you play the part of workers and students gloriously trying to succeed against a world of antagonists, and an antagonistic world. Inspired by the classic cartoon by Will McLean in the first edition of the Advanced Dungeons & Dragons Dungeon Masters Guide, where things - the worst 'monsters' of all - are against us. Character advancement across six professions, with linked characteristics, is measured by successfully completing projects which provides extra wages and perks. Core mechanic is a familiar characteristic + skill vs. target number with a player-based Luck attribute providing intervention. Foreword by Tim Kask, scenario by Dan Lestrange, and a example of play by David Cameron Staples.
