Lovable Dark-side
I might be a scarf. Who knows?
What I am about to post is a first draft and will be edited and refined before it is turned into an actual Rp. I need constructive criticism and world advice because I want this role play to actually live to receive an actual ending. Which lets be honest does not happen as much as we like it too. What I need help on currently is really giving this world "meat". Right now it is basically just rice and beans. I also wouldn't mind help with fair mechanics for the players. As of now I have a small list of rules for the main game concept.
Sample Plot
Rumors. They are fickle creatures that grow the more they are spoken about, but such is the nature of such a beast. They often serve a double purpose and leave one either amused, utterly annoyed, or if you are the focus of said rumor angry. Now while most of the time rumors are used to slander another person's name or add mystery to someones life. The current one around is about a game rather than a person. A childhood game in fact one as old as time itself. Hide and Seek. Now of course this isn't just a normal game of hide and seek. That would be wanton. Who would start a rumor about that? No! This hide and seek has a bit of the twist. Where none of those in the starting group are the seeker. The seeker, a demon, must be summoned and the summoners must simply survive for a short amount of time. In return for the game the demon will grant the remaining people at the end of the game a prize. But that is just a rumor who would believe that?
I guess humans are fickle creatures, also.
There is a rumor going around on the campus of Oklahoma University. Nothing truly scandalous just one of those “spooky” occult urban legend type things that pop up on occasion. The ones that people pretend to do, then get bored of them and let them lay for a while. Only to have them pop again in the next few years in order to scare the newbies on campus. It's basically just the new Bloody Mary. You don't take it seriously, no one does. Its Oklahoma for pete's-sake the only exciting thing that happens here is the occasional cow fart. But when a letter suddenly ends up in your possession inviting you to join this ritual trepidation is not far off. But you attend whether its for the thrill or out of morbid curiosity who knows. But what's the danger its only hide and seek.
I ask that you please give me honest feed back and help me expand. Thank you!
- You can't stay on sacred ground (Temples, Churches, Blessed Earth...etc.) for longer than one night. That means one night for the entirety of the game.
- Sacred pendants are allowed but have limited uses before they are considered tainted.
- If you tell anyone about the game that is not currently in the game they will be executed and the game will be lengthened by 2 days.
- There can only be one seeker at any time.
- If found you can use the bribery of another's location to re-hide, but this time only last as long as it takes to find the person you threw under the rug. This can be used multiple times for a price.
- Each night the non-seekers will be given a new challenge to tackle along with the basic task of hiding in order to keep things interesting.
