The Reapers' Game

[Draconilian]

A number of strangers wake up in a back alley, with no knowledge of how they got there or what they are doing. They all receive a text message at the same time, detailing an objective, "Complete the Mission within sixty minutes. Fail, and face Erasure, ~ The Reapers" Stuck in a sort of Limbo, unable to be seen or heard by anybody but each other and select few individuals, they must band together to face the challenges of the week long Reapers' Game. Thus is the stage set, will you survive all seven days? Though many ideas are serious WIP, namely the exact setting. I'm more than open to suggestions on that front.

Do you have the Missions planned out for the characters, or how will this work?

[Draconilian]

The specifics of how missions work are hidden knowledge. What isn't hidden is that everybody gets the same mission.

This is based on the world ends with you isn't?

@onenote

^.^

[onenote]

I'll take that as a yes XD but if it is, why does everyone not remember how they got there? Surely their memories weren't what every one paid to get into the game.

Oh my goddd that brings back such nostalgia-- Definitely interested.

@onenote

I can't really explain that without being super spoilery, though it's common knowledge to everyone who played the actual video game Let's just say this Reaper's Game is different from the one in Shibuya, because each local sector runs the game differently.

@Draconilian

fair enough XD well if you get this up and running I'll see about joining (also I suggest another big social hotspot. Maybe new york?)

[Draconilian]

New York is my first idea, but I don't know much about the place other than the touristy stuff, so if I have to use the local geography for missions it could be a little awkward I suppose.

[onenote]

maybe google earth could help with that?

[onenote]

How many people are you looking for? (I imagine an even number of people if we're to be paired up?)

[Draconilian]

I'm considering not doing pacts and just having the players work as a group to fight. mostly so that I don't have to enforce an even number.

[onenote]

You could allow groups of two or three, in case there is an odd number?

Erm... I have much interest in this (Really enjoyed TWEWY when I played it.), but I do have just a few questions though. Which I will pose them once I get back to the site in a little while. EDIT: I'll just go ahead and edit this post. Anywho, depending on how much interest this gets I would definitely recommend making the group pact a thing if we don't get a lot of players. For one it makes keeping track of all the players much easier, and it's helpful from the GM's standpoint. Although, one on one pacts have roleplay advantages too. *Shrug* Guess that one is up to you. Secondly, what are your thoughts on character's abilities? Will we all fight with improvised weapons? (I.E, A stuffed animal, cell phone, skateboard) Or will Psyches be an option? Either one's fine by me, just curious is all. And lastly on the topic of location I'm with @onenote, any big social hotspot is good. If you want contiguous United Stated I think Las Angeles or New York would be good picks. If you wanna skip over the ocean for a European setting Paris and London I think are fine settings too. Basically, whatever the biggest city in X country is. >_<

[Draconilian]

I was considering making the local rule of this Game being the group pact simply because it makes things easier for everyone (don't have to wait around for your partner and such) improvised weapons will be up to the player. I'll allow everybody to craft 3 psyches to start with, (hopefully with Evolution paths in mind) and I'll periodically come up with more. Psyches can be anything from personal weapons, to magical powers, or even summoning weapons out of magic (think Neku's shockwave blade psyche line)

@Draconilian

M'kay, group pact is cool. I'm definitely interested in this. I think I'mma go with the 3 Psyche thing. Probably, I have like 3 different concepts I'm working out for my character. >_< It kinda depends on the setting too, like one of my ideas is a Shibuya based idea. So I'd have to tailor that... Oh yeah, another question for the GM (I'm full of these). Do you plan on running a character with the group?

[Draconilian]

Yeah, I do, I'll also allow people to play Reapers, though I'll be having fine control over Reaper characters for reasons (unless they're rogue for instance)
