Interest check For some planned Games
« on: August 06, 2022, 12:20:08 pm »

As the title states I have Been ruminating on some game ideas and I thought I would Try to get a idea of what the general interest levels for them are: 

A:  Red Legion- Red legion is a game in which the players play as specialists for, well, the Red Legion, a once-famous legion that, due to no small amount of bad luck, has fallen into disgrace.  Gameplay will be highly tactical.  I plan on using a hex map, although I do not know of a mapmaking program that I could use.  Maybe you guys could recommend one?

B: The Hunt- The Hunt is a game where you play as monster hunters.  The system will use mechanics based off of multiple video games, monster hunter world being one of them.  In this game, attacks will be treated as AoE effects, and instead of attack rolls being made, the defender will have to roll to parry or dodge attacks.  When dodging, characters must actually move, so
if you dodge into a laser it is almost assured to hit you.  This game will also use hex maps, more so than the prior game.   

C: Ace Flyer- Ace flyer is a highly cooperative game in which 6 players cooperatively pilot a heavy starfighter in a sci-fi universe.  It will use standard d6 roll to dodge rules. 

D: Unnamed anime sci-if game- as the title states, I have not actually come up with an actual name for this one.  In it, you play as a crew of sci-fi swashbucklers.  Will likely use a d20 system based off of the godbound rpg. 

E: Unnamed Ninja game- I also have not come up with a name for this one.  It is a game where you play as, we’ll, ninjas.  It would ideally use Egan’s Crysis system, assuming I can get their permission. 
 


If you gave any questions ask.

what is the setting of the Red legion game? High fantasy? Low fantasy? Historical? Modern? hard Sci-fi? soft sci-fi? esoteric multiverse-jumping metaphors-are-reality weridness? you described a system here, not a setting, and at least for me the setting and character generation are the most important parts to determine if I'm interested. The system seems fine though.

The hunt seems interesting, I personally would need to know more about character generation before I knew if I wanted to particiapte or not.

Ace flyer does not interest me, because I suspect the players will end up competing for control, and I suspect it will end up similar to a minimalist suggestion game because the way you phrased it there is likely to be heavy focus on the actions of the single ship and less focus on the actions of the individual characters within the ship.

Unnamed anime sci-fi game seems interesting, again, show me character generation and I'll know if I want to play it (you probably see the pattern here, and again, this is my personal criteria, other people likely have different things they look at)

Unnamed Ninja game I have doubts about but I'd give it a look. I'd need to know more about the setting, mission structure, and of course, character generation.3

edit: used the wrong term on first pass.

I like the sound of all of them except Ace Flyer.

I would also interested to know how characters would be made for all of these.

THE HUNT CHARACTER CREATION

Spoiler: the Hunt chargen (click to show/hide)

suggestion for two other games
1: LIVING HELL- urban dungeon crawl game with a system based off of that of TNO++. 

2: DEHYDRATION- open world game in a world where the earth has been turned into a desert planet.  system based off of the WH40K rpgs.

When it comes to The Hunt what qualifies as inhuman?

I like the sound of Living Hell but what is TNO++?

Dehydration also sounds interesting.

1) purple skin is fine, horns are not.

2) yeah, i probably will use a different system for Living Hell.

I'm currently around my engagement limit, so I am unlikely to choose to join any new games unless I really like the premise at this time.

If I weren't near that limit I would join The Hunt, but right now I would not, and honestly the deciding factor is the no inhuman characters. If you start it up when I'm not near my limit, then I likely would join anyway, and do have several pure-human designs that would be appropriate, I just find the inhuman ones more interesting and worth pushing my limits for, whereas the pure-human ones don't interest me enough for it to be worth it.

As things are right now, I feel like I'm already not doing right by the characters I already have active, and it would be irresponsible to activate more.

Sounds like that means I could still be a dwarf, so at least there's that.

What if I edited the rules just simply stating that you would not get any powers from your race?
