The Infection

Anno 2356, a golden age for humanity. The first steps to the Stars have been taken, and damage from past times has been mended. On Earth, magnificent cities reach for the skies, and automated drones produce everything a human could want. Nanodrones and genetic treatment keep humans healthy, and ages of up to 200 years are not uncommon. The moon  Mars and Venus support prospering colonies.  In order to keep it's constantly increasing population entertained, the governements of Earth have mandated the Utopia project. This enormous endavour uses state of the art Quantum computing and direct brain stimulation to let people literaly experience another world, and live a different live. In this world, the laws of physics don't need to apply, and magic can exist.

Strange things are happening though, some sort of "corruption" of the minds of participants is occuring. It adds people to a hiveminded collective, which vies for control of the world they are in. As for now, it has only showed up one several worlds, and hasn't been noticed yet. The infection, as it is sometimes called, hasn't affected people in the real world yet. Nevertheless it's a worrying phenomenon, mostly, because you're one of them.

Spoiler: What is this? (click to show/hide)

Players control the infected part of a persons brain, and as such his "characters" across a variety of virtual worlds. The infection is a hiveminded phenomenon, is infectious, and can cause exposed subjects to mutate(all in the virtual worlds). The players can exert limited control over the infected beings. It's their goal to capture whichever world they are in. An interesting thing is that all players are present in all multiple (4 if you count the realworld) infected worlds at the same time, and that actions in one place can affect actions in the other.

Not sure if I'm going to run it, but it certainly seemed interesting. Max 5 players due to complexity.

Okay, now I have two ideas that I have no time to run yet.

1. A Kingdom of Loathing  RTD, and

2. A Magicka RTD.

I'll be back later with descriptions for both.

[Dermonster]

Man I suggested a magicka RTD so long ago.

[Greenstarfanatic]

Really? Maybe we could Co-GM it, making it easier on time for me.

I recently bought the set with all the DLC, when it was on sale, 75% off.

...But I have a Mac, so I can't play it until I buy Windows.

1. A Kingdom of Loathing  RTD

That reminds me of one of my long-held I-want-to-GM ideas, which is Fear and Loathing etc etc.

[Furtuka]

Does anyone know where I can find a good quality world map generator?

Google Earth?

I've been thinking of using it myself.

[SeriousConcentrate]

You could always gen a world in DF and use the world map there. Or use multiple to simulate several landmasses.

[Furtuka]

I considered it, but I'm looking for something more asthetic

[Mr.Zero]

Guy's could somebody direct me to some forum/place where i could find people which would want to draw requests? Cause i want to spice up my RTD with drawings but i suck at it.

You could try iScribble. Some people are nice enough to do it, not all though.

I would gladly do it...If I wasn't swamped with drawings to complete and the fact I need more practice.

Do bear in mind that there's always more people wanting things done than willing to do them. I don't doubt it's possible, but it might take some searching.

Alternatively, you could just use your own crappy drawings. It's better than nothing, and they get better the more of them you do.

I recommend this. It's not like anyone's going to look down on you or anything. We have a very, very small amount of RTD artists anyway.

Ohh jesus, i'm already questioning my drawing skills. In fact the only thing i can draw well are horribly drawn anime girls and stickmen comics. and stickmen won't suffice....
