So! I have two RP ideas and nowhere near enough energy to devote to both at the same time, but I like the concepts so I'll have the court of public interest decide which one I should run:

1st Concept: Royal Selection
The player characters serve as the vassals and guardians of a young princess, undergoing what is essentially a trial to select the next Ruler among the children of his Majesty. The Royal Selection is magical in nature - for the one sitting on the Throne of the Heavenly Kingdom, should they be of true blood, is God of its lands. They influence the seasons, the yield of crops, the inception of disease and death of newborns, they command the loyalty of all the living creatures upon their soil. They are Karma incarnated in human form.

The Heavenly Kingdom is thus untouched by the issues outside their borders. But this may soon change. The world outside the kingdom is recovering from a devastating war, the candidates of this generations Selection are more hostile to each other than ever, and the previous Ruler was less deity, more man - flawed and foolish.

As the vassal and guardian of the 3rd Princess, not only must you protect her from outside threats, you must also do your best to guide and support her, through her own trials - for at the end of the day, the Ruler of the Heavenly Kingdom stands alone.


2nd Concept: Demonic Incursion and Human Sacrifice
The kingdoms of Gaia have fallen prey to demonic incursion. Humanity has been torn and shredded, brought to their knees. A prophecy has been issued: To close the the breach, one must travel to the origin point of the demonic invasion, and sacrifice the life of an innocent soul.

The players shall be thus: The greatest warriors from each of the remaining kingdoms, armed with blessed weapons and spells. They must travel through each of the ruined kingdoms until they reach the promised location, and perform the sacrifice.

A bit Survival-horror: The demons are tremendously difficult to kill, vary in level of intelligence, can read minds and sense desire. They are evil and malevolent, taking perverse pleasure in the suffering of living beings. Moreover, they are assisted by insane cultists or enslaved humans.

Our heroes, on the other hand, have only their holy (and very much breakable) weapons, magic that doesn't actually work on demons, and spells to conceal themselves or detect demons nearby. Every bit of the players wit, planning and luck will be put to the test.

Will you be able to close the breach?


So! Those are the two concepts. What do you all think? Which would be more fun to play?

Both sound like very interesting concepts but personally I would love to play the first one.
