Interest Check - Choose Your Own Adventure

You awaken in a small, dimly lit room. The first thing you notice is the throbbing pain in your head. As you sit up, you take a look at what is around you - a small desk, a chair, and the bed you are currently sitting on. Over on the wall opposite you, there is a door.

What do you do?

​

What is this?
This is a role play orientated event where players will be able to chose what to do and where to go. As the GM, I will be creating the scenarios and story according to your actions in the game. Players will be presented with different scenarios that they must find a way to progress through. Some will be simple, but some scenarios will require coming together to try and make the best choice possible.

How do I play?
To progress, players must take 'action'. You can use these actions, like this - for example:

>examine desk

As the GM, I will respond to your actions with additional information. You are free to interact with your environment as you wish. There will also be an inventory system, since you are able to find items that you can use, or possibly combine to make a new item.

What happens if we mess up?
The world I am placing the players in is full of dangers. Dying and ending the game early is a possibility. However, if you haven't reached the end of a scenario, I will simply reset the game and players will have to start over. Most of your items will be lost on death. Think of it like "Return by Death" in Re:Zero. You'll still have the knowledge, but you'll have to start over. One vital difference being is that not everything will be exactly the same as it was from your previous life. Scenarios, locations - and even items may change. It won't be a simple matter of repeating it over and over until you get the right choice!

This sounds hard, I don't think I get it!
I will be making the first scenario pretty easy - think of it as a tutorial and a chance to learn how to play the game. After that, things will get harder, and I hope you guys will start discussing among you what would be the best choice to take!

So.... what do I get for playing?
Everyone will be getting a small amount of Keno for participating in the event, given that they have contributed to the game and played actions. The will be a required amount of activity needed to earn rewards, similar to Mafia games. It is entirely possible that players can find Keno bonuses in game, which I will add together after the game ends and split it between each active player upon completion of the scenario!

I'm also hoping to have a medal ready for this event. Everyone who participates will be awarded this medal.

What do you guys think? I'd really love to run a game like this - with a few participants it could be really fun. Let me know your thoughts on the game or any questions you have that I didn't cover in this post.

 

sounds like fun

in to get lost in it

 

Why not try?

 

If we can get a couple more people interested, I can pretty much just go ahead and make sign up & a game thread.

 

Did I hear roleplay? :noshit

 

This sounds fun!! Good idea froyo +.+

 

I would participate

 

So... @Crispickle, @Schpittfeuer, @Errant Singularity, @Globear, @Gobb & @Prada

Does Friday sound good? Until then, I'll get some write-ups for a general guide & some rules.

 

YEAAAAHHH!!!!

 

Sure, let's try

 

Sure.

 

i'm actually not sure... on friday i'm leaving to go to a place for the weekend, and even if this place is supposed to have wi-fi i can't guarantee steady participation. Before i pull out, how are this game's rhythms supposed to be? Is it going to be a 100 posts-per-hour game or a 1 post each 4 hours game?

 

You shouldn't need to worry about that. Typically each scenario is going to be long enough that whatever the minimum participation - you'll probably get it regardless.
