Describe a Genre
Submitted by mike on Mon, 07/09/2007 - 18:03
In one line, describe a genre/setting/situation you'd like to play, narrate or both.
Here are some examples:
- Agents of a galaxy-wide teleporting civilization convinced their superiors have become controlled by other-dimensional horrors.
- Psychic researchers extending their perceptions beyond the borders of known reality, using alien minds as their exploration tools.
- Victorian absinthe producers intent on triggering worldwide anti-royalist revolutions.
- Quantum physics grad students whose research reveals the nature and necessity of repairing the Universal Overmind, just before masters' theses outlines are due.
- Mook-mok want take cave from bear. Where find good spear stone?
- A national champion girl's high school rugby team discovers the president is a robot during an awards ceremony at the Western White House.
- Aethernauts on the HMAS Planetary Conquerer, a phlogiston-powered dreadnought crashed in the endless methane swamps of Venus.
- Faux-satanists and fellow poser death metal band mates accidentally summon Satan during an orgy/practice, and must serve him eternally or suffer in hell immediately.
Good - Gooder - Goodest
I like them all , but some more than others. In order of interest:
1) Programmed President
2) Paranoid Teleporters
3) Saving the Universe Before School
4) Play It Again Gabriel ("Can we go back and try another take?")
5) Surviving Venus One Breath At A Time
6) Oh, I Think I'm Going Out Of My Head
7) Here's To Rrrevvvolution
8) Neanderthals & Natural Selection
Game ideas
1) Destruction of the World with Mutatnts and Zombies...Victorian style 1879!
2) She woke up one day in a frozen cave with the mumified remains of her fellow scientists and not a scratch on her body, now she has to put up with all their ghosts
3) Why are we the only people in the world who are Green?
4) A research team crashes on the planet they were supposed to study from orbit or now we know where the dinosaurs went.
5) The newest fad in the Alliance Universe is have single soldiers duel for their governments, to win wars.
