Yeah, I would love that too.

The Apprentice: Siberia. The players are apprentice shamans and must pass various tests including confronting carniverous reindeer and psychodelic moss. Horror. Psychodelic doesn't look like it's written right.

I didn't know I needed this in my life.

I just want RP again, that all

Put in the time to develop an idea, work a bit on your overall coherence and legibility, and then you should be pretty good to run a game!

[Nosaneinme]

IO is correct.

You need to find a setting and/or theme that pleases you, a story that you want to continue, a tone that you like, and a ruleset that suits; and then hope the combination will produce characters you want to RP with and for.

Good luck.


Speaking of which, Roll to Great War: Blackadder would be a good game. You are going to be sent over the top at dawn tomorrow, and have 24 hours/turns to get out of it. Lighthearted.

The Priests: Rural Ireland Version. The players are priests in rural Ireland and must serve Mass, administer to their flock, that kind of thing. But something goes awry, and instead of competing for promotion to Bishop, the priests must join forces to combat the greater threat. Gritty and ultra-detailed realist.

Best Man. The players are members of a stag do and end up 300 miles away from the wedding, which is tomorrow. They have lost all of their clothes and money, and must get the groom back. Unfortunately they are horrifically drunk and so use a special 1,1,1,3,5,6 dice. (3 is my least favourite die roll, as a GM.) Farce. (obviously, but there are many tones that would work well with this - what if they've just woken up to find one of their members brutally murdered, and all of them covered in his blood?)

Roll to Brian. The players are competing holy men during the Roman occupation of Judea. They must compete for followers, but also avoid being put to death.


I've got a couple more but lunchtime is over.

Thank you, these are all very good ideas and I always wanted to do something like that

*psychedelic.

[lawastooshort]

I believe it's psychedelic.

Too slow, TBF, too slow!

How much interest would there be in a Wizard's Whacky Death Race game?

Many much interests, especially from me.

All of it.

[FallacyofUrist]

Okay.

Lithobreakers: Roll to Collide

The players are Artificial Intelligences on board automated missiles/spacecraft, which are currently on a collision course for a little blue-green planet, where they will detonate their antimatter conversion warheads and kill everything.
They have but a few hours of existence to learn about the world that they were born into, talk to the people they're going to blow up and the AI on the warship they were launched from, shoot point defences at other point defences that are shooting at still more point defences, and come to terms with the fact that they were created to both die and kill billions of people.

Sounds more like a pitch for a short story than a game.

Yeah, but it's more fun if I put a real person through that. Maybe it would be a good IF story.

How about:

Roll to Cop
The players are, like, cops.

Roll to First Aid
The players are first aiders in a busy office, and have to respond to first aid requests – paper cuts, falls, heart attacks, that kind of thing. It’s also PVP competitive play, as whoever successfully treats an incident gets a pay rise and a level up.

Roll to Yoga
This is, like, a game about yoga practitioners going on an epic quest through space and time, and it gets updated quite regularly.

Where? When? Futuristic street cops á la Judge Dredd or victorian era fantasy world office cops like... I don't know, someone?

I feel that may result more corpses than treated patients.

...I got nothing on this.
