The funniest part has been the character creation and the set-up. When it's time to run the game, its many problems come up. The teaching move, wich is mandatory to a certain degree, is bland and boring: on the 7-9 the MC has to come up with some problem. There are next to zero examples and being the move mandatory for every member of the party, you can exhaust problematic and interesting situation quite often. The publishing part gets repetitive soon too, and it's not well structured. One of my player, with an actual Ph.D and first hand experience in academia, was able to give us good input to spice things up.

As a PhD who left academia in disgust, I couldn't stop laughing at this game, and my friends from university can't wait to play it. It's the kind of rule book that is so fun to read you'll enjoy it even if you don't actually play it. I'm a bit unconvinced by the idea of making the character teachers in different department, the one time I've seen it played it basically led to only one player actually playing at any one time, which might be fine in principle but not my cup of tea. I think it can easily be hacked to make it more team-based though, probably making the players grad students sharing an advisor or part of the same research group.

I just finished my PhD, and I was worried this game was going to hit a little too close to home. Not the case! Running the game, I found it incredibly cathartic to sic a demonic Internal Review Board (IRB) on the players' professors, forcing them to publish or perish, and making fun of their meager salaries as adjunct faculty.

My only complaint (and it's a minor one) is that a lot of the special rules work specifically on NPCs, and my players kept trying to pull them on each other. There wasn't a lot of guidance there, although it was easy enough to improvise.

In our first game, one character summoned dead students to fill out another professor's class that was in danger of being canceled due to low enrollment, and the Paraveterinary Department building pulled itself out of its foundations and tried to breed with the Department of Life and Death building (which was completely filled with a multi-limbed amoeba that kept absorbing undergraduates and trying to claim lead author status on everyone else's academic papers).

Brillaint game. I'm glad this sort of thing exists (as much as I'm glad I have friends that enjoyed playing it with me).
