Sting Of The Wasp brings one of > the year's nastier PCs in the person of wealthy socialite Julia Hawthorne. > In the grand tradition of Primo Varicella, Julia is a vain, preening snob > who looks with utter disdain at almost everything around her, including the > country club in which the game is set... SOTW is one of those games that let > you gleefully and maliciously wreak havoc on a wide variety of places and > characters, all in the service of advancing a thoroughly rotten character. > As I said, the most prominent example of this sort of game is Varicella, but > this game is Varicella played purely for laughs -- very few darker > undertones burden the spree of unrestrained villainy.
