1. Game rules, the length of a term essay. I'm very hesitant to read, run or play any game where the rules cannot be sufficently laid out on 15-20 pages.
2. Random character creation. Because it's fast and forces you to hit the ground running (creatively speaking) and you usually know right away if you've got a winner or not. WFRPs character creation is brilliant that way.
3. A good one-shot game with a reliable, though not repetitive, intesity arc - for lack of a better word. I just picked up BSG the Board Game and it's got this great way of ratcheting up the tension and paranoia between the players until the one final blow that ends the game. I want a one-shot RPG that can do that.
4. An RPG that incorporates musical elements, not unlike Guitar Hero does. I've been working on one, but cannot seem to get it to work right. And I'm arrogant enough to assume, that if I cannot do it.. it is impossible. ;)
