to choose from (I would).

Try _The Insomniac's Dictionary_ by ?Paul Helweg? (don't have it right here,
but I think that's the right name). Has a whole list of phobias, some of
which would just have to be 5-pointers (and at least one quirk level phobia--
fear of peanut butter sticking to the roof of your mouth). Of course, that
leaves it up to the GM to determine values instead of being "official" but
still it's a great reference. Also contains various types of -archies and
-ocracies, various -manias, and various -mancies. Great stuff.

You're too late. All role-playing games, being simulations of life,
are already postmodern. They provide a reality where nothing has any
depth other than a collection of statistics.

Of course there's the necessary cross-genre campaign with GURPS

Guil: Is there a God?
Ros: Foul! No /non sequiturs/, three -- two. One game all.

Do this: 1) Name *anything*; 2) Precede the named thing from #1 with
'fear of...'; 3) Go back to step 1.

.sigs are fine, if they're not more than two lines, and if they're
informative, and if they're useful, and if they don't annoyingly repeat
the same, tired, mildly amusing quotes..... um, nevermind -- you're right.

On the other hand, having this longish list of phobias in front of you might
give you all sorts of ideas you would NOT likely have thought of on your own.
For instance, fear of swords might be interesting if you're running a fantasy
campaign, and the only way the character can slay the big villain is with this
special magical sword... :-)
Then again, I DID think of that one without having this list handy. But, I'll
just betcha there ARE lots of ideas on that list which you WOULDN'T have
thought of, which WOULD make for as interesting a plot twist as the above.
Besides, it's a great brainstorming tool to thumb randomly through the list
and see what you find, which might suggest other ideas...

which made me think of a list we once generated. I was running a
homegrown system, and we were of the belief that skill lists were limiting.
We defined skills as anything you learn know, or get better at.
we then a big brainstorming session, and came up with TONS of skills.
Included were such skills as map folding (certainly some people are
better at this than others)
Ketchup pouring, sheep herding, falling asleep, and hundreds of others.
Even though the list was in essense useless, it was a blast to create it.

ah but did you think of fear of wool?
or fear of ketchup?
if you brainstorm do it with a group.
