It is the 41st millenium, and the planet Quaestor lies at the very edge of the Corpse-Emperor's light. Its Hives, particularly Hive Augustus, are filled with the weak. The greedy. The cowardly. The corrupt. But there are powers beyond that of the Emperor. Powers that answer those who seek them, and call in turn. You will heed the call of the Gods. You will bring ruin to Questor. Let the galaxy burn.
Heresy! is a suggestion-driven strategy game that had its inception in the Warhammer 40000 thread in GD last month.
I now want to make a forum game about a civvie surrounded by Chaos shit in a hive.
Get some *shudders slightly while still acknowledging the positives of the genre* survival game mechanics in there and add HERESY.
Ok, this gave me an idea. Not exactly this, though. What I have in mind is, since everyone is talking about heresy, a forum game where players control a group of Chaos cultists trying to take over a Hive (and later the planet). Don't know if players can RP individual cultists or if it's going to be just a suggestion-driven strategy game; it's late and I think I should leave such decisions to when I wake up.
I decided to sack the whole RP thing I mused about, but the rest remains. The game, as mentioned above, revolves around controlling a Chaos cult in an imperial hive as you attempt to take over through any means at your disposal, while avoiding the attention of the authorities for as long as possible. The players lose if the cult is destroyed, and win if the entire planet is corrupted.
Before the game starts, however, a choice must be made: what is the cult's name? Keep in mind this is
not just a cosmetic thing. The name will have an effect.
