Hey guys, just wanted to run an interest check for a Roleplay idea I had.
Here's the basic details:
The year is 2020. Meteor showers are spotted across the globe, from New York to Hong Kong. This day, Februrary 22, 2020 would be the day the Fight began.
You are special. Lucky, might be the better word. Or perhaps not. You were near one of the meteor crashes as it fell, and you were the first to get up close. What you found would change your life forever.
A box, plain and ordinary lies in the crater, in every crater across the world. Inside is an item of great power, a legendary artefact from ancient myth turned real. An item, and a cell phone. On that cell phone is a note simply stating,
"You are in the game now. Kill the others and the ultimate prize will be yours. It will be your truest desire. Fight to win, Holder."
------------------
The idea of the game is inspired by such things as Future Diaries and Battle Royale, pitting all players against each other to hunt each other down or form alliances to be the ultimate victor. You must be okay with dying to play this game, for there can only be one. At the same time, you may wish to hunt down unclaimed artefacts to gain an edge, or perhaps examine th mystery surrounding the items you carry.
The items themselves drawn from ancient myths such as Excalibur and Masamune. I am toying with the idea of giving everyone a random one from a list ill make. Everyone will also have their own personal character page where they will write their next move and I will Dm it. If two players meet a new thread will be made for their duel or discussion. Allying is possible but there is still only one winner. There will also be an in-game forum (super meta right?) for players to access through their phones. The phones will also grant additional abilities such as a one time favour, money, and escapes, etc.
The system itself will probably be something simple I cook up. I have some ideas, but I wanted to judge interest before I go on with it.
Let me know if you like the idea or if you have questions.
