Papers and Paychecks

Papers and Paychecks was a role-playing game.

Description
In it, players adopted the roles of students and workers in a fantasy world with a technological and industrialized society. It was played with papers, pencils, and at least two six-sided dice. It seemed fun.

Notable Players
Karl Chisolm, a thirteen-year-old boy of Ravens Bluff in the Vast in the mid-to-late 14 century DR, spent his spare time playing Papers and Paychecks with his friends.

Background
Papers and Paychecks first appeared as the above cartoon by Will McLean in the Dungeon Masters Guide 1st edition in 1979. It was introduced to the Realms via "The Downunda Patisserie" in Polyhedron #51 in 1990.
