Q&R general planning, ideas, interest checks and discussion

OP of my game is up. I decided to go with a Quest format for ease and speed of play. I will allow players to submit level 0 characters to serve as hirelings and later leveled characters to be henchmen once the game gets a few updates under its belt.


If you're interested in watching a group of unsavory people break into graves for profit, and likely fall into a spiked pit trap for their trouble, then this game could interest you.

Man, they don't want much personal information just to see their starter book, do they? Just your real name, email, phone number, mailing address, etc. I was half expecting a drug test and background check by the time I got to the end of their list of things they wanted first.

Huh, I didn't think you needed an account to download the quick start.



Here is the quick start rules on my google drive.
 
Player characters will be people with Asgardian/Demigod/Alien Hybrid/Some other Unique Ancestry

Like Nephilim or even Draconic. This could be a Freeform role play. As all the PCs are characters that have inherited their power, they would have estates to manage, or relugate to their stewards.

The plot would be set in the future, maybe a Cyber Punk Era. It's in the Cyberpunk Era that the Dark Lord, a Sauron like deity awakens from thousands of years of sleep after being defeated during the Mythical Age. Our characters would be working to defeat "Sauron".
 
tbh I think if you're doing cyber punk it might be cooler to have the characters going against the dystopia they now inhabit. Like that 4chan idea the Ancient Evil who wakes up during WW1 when someone shells his barrow mound... only for the soldiers on both sides to rapidly start deciding that "hey, at least Lord Vrak the Deathless isn't telling me to charge machine guns, or when if he does he at least raises me afterward..."

More broadly though IMO cyberpunk is a setting that lends itself to trying to break the system, to go against those megacorps or corrupt politicians, rather than fighting to preserve the status quo (even against something worse).

Also, quest idea that I'm surprised nobody has done...

CK2 quest where you play as Joseph Seed and the Project at Eden's Gate. First you have to build up and survive an escalating conflict with the federal government... then you have to survive in the post-apocalyptic world that follows.

Hm makes sense. Maybe The Sauron person *already has the Human race under his thumb.

Anyone interested in a reboot of my Blaggards game, but as a more traditional rp instead of a quest?
 
Checking interest to see if anybody wants to do some Let's Play.

For them as isn't in the know, essentially Let's Play is a quest, but rather than rolling the dice directly the QM is playing a video game (Typically an RPG, 4X, or similar game with a relatively complex decision tree) while the players decide what moves are made during play. I'm interested in running one and want to see if anybody wants to play along.

I generally prefer to Let's Play older retro games. Some options I have off the top of my head:

Ultima
Or, gaining ultimate power by throwing your money in a river
The Grandaddy of Western RPGs and progenitor of a mighty Franchise that lasted for decades before being EA'd, Ultima is a charmingly quirky game with some truly bizarre mechanics, where you start out armed with a knife and leather armor, progress to fighting Gelatinous Cubes while wearing a space suit for armor and firing on them with a phazor, and end the game flying a starship duking it out with TIE fighters so you can convince a trapped princess you're hard enough to deserve her giving you a time machine.

Wing Commander: Privateer
Or, Profiting by begging xenocidal space tigers for mercy
While a bit more actiony than most options, Privateer is a fun sandbox game where you play a space mercenary running cargo, shooting pirates, and sometimes engaging hostile aliens as you try to make another buck to pay your docking fees and hopefully buy a better ship. But in the meantime this odd artifact some old guy pawned off on you in lieu of payment on a job is attracting some weird attention...

Mech Commander
Or, Quit shooting the enemy! We need that salvage intact!
A fine part of the Battletech/Mechwarrior universe where rather than a pilot yourself, you're mission control guiding your team of pilots through the clan wars and stealing as many 'mechs as possible along the way and trying to earn more Cbills in hopes you can upgrade your two light 'mechs into an entire company of assaults, because the Smoke Jaguars aren't going to go easy on your when you invade their homeworld.

Space Empires IV
Or, There might not be a star or any planets in this part of space now but give me a few days.
A once very famous 4X, and still extremely fun, Space Empires IV is notable for the absolutely incredibly dense tech tree and just how much an advanced civilization can manipulate the universe at the high end. Ringworlds? Yes. Dyson Spheres? You can build 'em. Destroy stars? Of course. Build entirely new planets and stars for them to orbit? Oh yeah. Reshape the structure of the cosmos itself to your will? It would hardly be worth it without that, now would it? It's notable for having a tech tree that forces you to constantly change your design strategy over time, as new techs render old styles of ship design and combat obsolete. Sure, gigantic shipkiller missiles were top-tier a few turns ago but now fighter and drone carriers are completely dominating missile ships, and in a few turns those will be obsolete and it'll be all about the direct-fire energy weapons.

I'm down for Mech Commander if others are. Also the others, but I'm voting Mech Commander.

Hello, I am recruiting for the Quest I posted called "Isekai, Go Home!". Its a transplant from Spacebattles due to the moderators there locking it down for a month, so that is why there are so many threadmarks already filled out, so it may take a while to go through. There are some voters on QQ as well, so there is some degree of cross-platform voting.

To summarise the quest: Its basically a Isekai anime fantasy world, but the protagonists are natives of the fantasy world, specifically they are Inquisitors of the Holy Church, who's job is to hunt down and exorcise people being possessed by Isekais so that they can get their bodies back (although there are also summoned Isekais). Isekais are strange inter-dimensional beings from the eldritch plane known as "Ja'Paan". The setting in general is relatively satirical, with a lot of shout-outs to different typical Isekai animes, although generally reversed or subverted in some manner, since its from the PoV of the typical isekai villains, the church, aristocrats, native kingdoms, etc.

A god game, taking in a place similar to America + Central and South America.

Technologically, some mortal cultures would be about in the Incan level/Aztec or Mayan level. There'll be savage man eating giants and maybe in later stages even attempts at Colonialization.

Would we have a ruleset or would it be more freeform?
