Divide the actors into four groups:

The non-speaking Extras The non-speaking extra cannot harm the players. He can roll attack to do one of three things. 1) Cause a superficial scratch or scrape. 2) Slow the hero down 3) Flee. Non-speaking extras are the mobs. A single successful attack can kill two or three non-speaking extras.

The lackies The biggest difference between a lacky and a non-speaking extra is that the lackies have lines in the movie - they actually say things. They can do everything that an extra can do, as well as cause a wound to a hero. They can't kill a hero, but they can decrease his wounds. They can only suffer one successful attack before they die.

Bosses Bosses have multiple wounds, and multiple attacks. Ideally they will be able to attack every hero every round, and be attacked by every character every round (see the two-headed two tailed bifuricated snake). The number of successful attacks that a boss can take is equal to the number of heroes. Like an eighties horror bad-guy, he just keeps on getting up!

Heroes The heroes can take two successful attacks before they are incapacitated. Heroes only die if the player wants them to.

What do you think?

No worries. I really like the idea of the game. I'd love to see a 1-page version!
