Adventures in Multiple Game Masters
« on: September 10, 2014, 05:44:31 pm »

In essence, this is a game where you are all GMs.

To go into more detail, how the game will work is posters who wish to will make a post about joining the GM pool. Please make this post red in order to make picking them out easier for me. You may leave the GM pool at any time by making the appropriate post in green. I will still accept a post without the appropriate colour, but I can't promise I'll see it.

Now, how does this actually work? I will roll on a table to see who will be the GM after each turn ends. Turns are a maximum of 3 updates. If you give me a good reason, this can be extended to up to 5 updates. You have four days to post an update after I have rolled  and made the appropriate post (Which will be orange) or since your last update.. Otherwise, I will reroll. You will receive a PM when your name is rolled, and on the final day of the deadline.


Do not make the game anything other than a suggestion game. Making it into an ISG is fine, but don't expect other GMs to do that as well. Making it into an RPG or one-on-one roleplay is forbidden. Finally, there is one more rule: Should you end the game in some way, be it by PC death in a game with one perspective, or reaching the end of  the story, a vote will be held among everybody in the GM pool. If a majority vote says that the ending was unsatisfactory, the next GM will continue the story. They may either take your ending into account, or they may retcon it completely.

Aside from that, however, there are no set rules nor mechanics. Everything else is up the chosen GM. They may use whatever rules they want, in whatever manner they decide. Try to avoid making things the players worked for useless in your system, but this is a guideline, not a rule.

[2] BlitzDungeoneer will be the next GM.

Oh, and a couple things I forgot: When you're the GM, try to avoid being overly generous. I know it's tempting to give the players that +1015 flail, since you're one of the players, but it also makes for lackluster game. Also, when you aren't the GM, you're perfectly welcome to act as a player and vote.

Turn 0: Birth
Darkness. That's all you can see, stretching for miles in every direction, save for one. In one direction, there is an array of floating, glowing white letters, looking like so:
[REDACTED]: THE GAME
       NEW GAME
       CONTINUE
       SETTINGS
       MODS
       GALLERY

It appears that something resembling hands has materialised, and you can control them.

Also, you can't move. You've tried many times.

Your hands can, though. How very odd.

RULES UPDATE
Each GM now gets up to 3 updates. A gap of 4+ days will forfeit your turn, and cause the GM to be randomized once more. With a good reason, with "good reason" defined by me, this can be extended to a maximum of 5 updates. OP will be updated accordingly.


EDIT: Also, poke all of the buttons in order aside from NEW GAME and CONTINUE.

Turn 1: (Insert Title Here)
Well, you try to make shadow puppets....
But that doesn't really work out, courtesy of the fact that there's no light. Which is weird, when you think about it, since then you shouldn't be able to see those hand things or the menu. Odd.
Making things is impossible, because, you know, there's nothing to make them from.
Oh, and that's not a game.

You finally decide on a relatively normal course of action, pressing each button save for NEW GAME and CONTINUE. Each one apparently opens up a menu that appears in some other direction.
A view of each one, coming right up.
