Gears of the City - Steampunk Suggestion Game
« on: October 25, 2013, 05:03:07 pm »

"On your feet, Prisoner!"

You turn your head to look through the bars of your cell door. There is a guard standing just beyond them.

"What's your name?" he barks.

You are in a cell. You are lying on the bed. There is a guard outside.

"Taylor," I groan, looking around.

Are you a GM with players who haven't posted? TheDelinquent Players Help will have Bay12 give you an action!
[GreatWyrmGold] gets a little crown. May it forever be his mark of Cain; let no one argue pointless subjects with him lest they receive the same.

"What do you care?" I choke out, clinging to the bars to steady myself.

((Nice Elder Scrolls Reference there.))

And it's not the only one, it's just a particularly eminent example. Also, every single game starts out that way.))

"What do you care?" I choke out, clinging to the bars to steady myself.

"Warden wants you"

"Why?" I ask, slowly regaining my voice.

"Maybe you're getting out" the guard smirks as he says this, and laughs as he finishes. It's not a pleasant sound.

He open the cell and drags you roughly by the arm to the warden's office.

"Taylor, is it?" He asks. "Betty", you say, attempting a snide tone. With your throat dry and sore, it doesn't work.

"Well, Taylor, you're sentence is up. Perhaps

1. 1 month
2. 6 months
3. 1 year
4. 5 years

in prison will teach you not to

1. steal"
2. burn things"
3. murder people"
4. gamble"

You are standing. The Warden is seated at his desk. The guard is in front of the door.

4, 2. Mostly 2, because playing with fire is just straight up cool.

"I stole a loaf of bread."

+1 "Those damn telepathic guards were on me before I could say a thing."

(I am determined to force this to have as many Elder Scrolls references as possible.)

""Well, Taylor, you're sentence is up. Perhaps 5 years in prison will teach you not to steal."

"I stole a loaf of bread. Those damn telepathic guards were on me before I could say a thing."

"Does it look like I care? Just take your belongings from that drawer and be on your way."

You open the drawer he gestures to. It contains:

1. A sword. Dull, rusted, but better than nothing.
2. Knee guards. Protect you from goddamn archers.
3. A shiny dagger....
4. A lighter
5. A cloak
6. A hat. Man walks down the street in a hat like that...
Spoiler (click to show/hide)
7. A pistol. Damn, no bullets.
8. A necklace. Might be worth something.
9. A flask. Maybe it's alcohol.
10. Thick goggles. They might obscure your face unless someone was very close.

Sorry for all the multiple-choice stuff. I'll move more towards open actions later.
