The title is probably confusing. Allow me a moment to explain!

Let's say that you were given a fantasy setting and told "Hey, you can play virtually any role in this setting!" You want to be a heroic adventurer? Sure, you can do that. You want to be a monarch? Absolutely! Ruthless bandit queen? Enigmatic wizard in a lonely tower? Those are allowable, too! A lich, a goblin warlord, a marauding werewolf, a... baker in a small village? Yes, all of these are allowed!

But here's the catch: there's several other players in this setting, but you don't know who the other players are. Only I, the GM, would know which characters are players and which characters are NPCs... until you interact with another player.

Obviously there would be considerable power diversities here, considerable differences between how each player interacts with the world. I would be playing in a purely game-mastering role, and the game would be set up largely as a series of 1x1s with an IC/OOC thread used for me to post rumors about what's going on in the world. Players would be discouraged from telling others who their characters are unless they tell me "Hey, I want to be in a duo with this person. Can we be a duo of adventurers?" Or something like that.

The only mechanic in the game would be called [b][color=violet]Destiny.[/color][/b] Simply put, [b][color=violet]Destiny[/color][/b] is a resource that you can use to escape a bad situation, to change a plot point affecting your character, or to otherwise take narrative control of the story. But once that resource is depleted, it's done. No more [b][color=violet]Destiny[/color][/b] for you.

Does this interest people? I like the idea because it allows a variety of writing styles.

If there's enough interest I can create an OOC thread detailing the world. People are free to either post here or DM me about the idea. Gameplay can be run either via 1x1 PMs, via Discord, or via public threads.

EDIT: Alternatively, this could make a good Supers idea instead of Fantasy.
