Saw a funny picture and thought my group could use a good joke game, thinking about having them all play elderly citizens, but keep the whole class based system and whatnot, is there something like this?

Do an adventure where six old folks at a nursing home discover a macguffin and embark on a cross-country quest to recover it.

But what system? dungeon world? D&D gran gran edition?
>>46002667
Most systems can do it. Even Pathfinder and D&D have rules to represent elder people.
For example, in Pathfinder, just change the base characteristics the following way:
>At middle age, –1 to Str, Dex, and Con and +1 to Int, Wis, and Cha.
>At old age, –2 to Str, Dex, and Con and +1 to Int, Wis, and Cha.
>At venerable age, –3 to Str, Dex, and Con and +1 to Int, Wis, and Cha.
Obviously, the problem with this is balance: spell casters will be A LOT more powerful than other classes, even more than usual, for obvious reasons. You could perfectly homerule it by generalizing the malus to EVERY characteristics, as elder people often tend to loose their cognitive capabilities. Then, playing elder people would simply mean playing character with very low base stats.
It would probably a bit boring without a DM to make it interesting narratively, though.

Just pick a system and go. Like who gives a fuck, it's a just for fun game!
Grab whatever system your players are most familiar/comfortable with and go nuts.

That's the DnD ruling. It's still bad in Pathfinder. Just such a weaksauce system for age. Bluuuuuh.
>>46002667
I would say GURPS, but unless there is magic involved every class but the assassin is going to have a bit of trouble being useful in combat.
>>46003473
That probably IS the point, looking at OP's pic
>>46003441
make them roll higher to remember their spells based on their age.
if they roll high, they get the spell, and it's amazing and awesome. like apple pie and baseball.
if they roll low, they might just conjure some applesauce, or newspaper clippings.
on a 1 they shit their pants and have to be changed.

So, basically, just a random fest?
Funny ideas though
>>46003473
This.
Combat would be amazing to witness.

>D&D gran gran edition?
Grannies 'n 'Guffins

I would solve it by letting elderly fightan man types use wisdom or intelligence in some way to benefit their attacks.
Also, some sort of malus/ailment system, where the less strength and con you had to start with, the more negative bonuses you get based on ailments that come with age.
>>46003683
Really good ideas, especially the second one
>>46003441
>following those rules and not statting a character up as normal
>>46004287
Nobody uses those rules, but if you're looking for rules about age, they do exist.
>>46003473
GURPS, low-point total, 10% of pints must be spent on Disadvantages, Tactical Combat
>>46003473
Depends. If she's elderly enough, she might be defaulting on her Guns (Pistol) roll. She'd have to roll her 3d6 under 6 with DX10. Or under 10 if she has a single point in Guns. And then there are range penalties. And it'd be even worse if she's nearsighted.
I can see it now, they're all just in a supermarket having to fetch some hemorrhoid cream or something, they go up to the counter and none of them have money, then the assassin just shoots the clerk and they book it
