The roll of the die determines your fate.
The toss of the hand sets your path.
You're told you have complete control.
You're told your choice is yours alone.
Still, oh still, the strings are pulled.
Still, oh still, a plot is writ.
Just a puppet.
Just a pawn.
An avatar in a deadly game.
Just one chance.
No respawn.
Win and live.
Or lose and fall...





"Investigators are still searching for the mind─or minds─behind the horrific web series which has long since taken social media by storm. 'Game of Masters', is the title of the unconventional─and particularly disturbing─self-acclaimed reality game show in which randomly chosen contestants are expected to face gruesome odds to escape a perilous dungeon. The question remains, however, on whether or not the horrors of this series are as deadly as they appear, or, if it truly is all in good fun. Many insist that there is more to the events of the show than we are led to believe [...]"




At the first appearance of the popular game show nearly five years ago, people had been amazed with what were assumed to be ground-breaking special effects, and marveled as they watched the first contestant battle all kinds of odds, through elaborately designed dungeons, all in the name of survival against the forces of fate, and the simple roll of an ordinary die.

Of course, at the beginning, no one had thought that the danger...could actually be real.

No one had thought that the contestant of the show...could actually die...

But with the final episode of that first run, watching as an innocent person was ruthlessly torn apart by vicious hounds, and hearing the narrator's─The Game Master's─ending words, it became very clear to many that the show was a lot more serious than they had originally assumed...

Still, many cling to the reassuring thought that it really is all just a game, and stubbornly ignore the people going missing with each new loss of the players who fail to make it to the end and claim their way to freedom.

Now as yet another anniversary of the show's premiere has arrived, and with the recent demise of yet another poor soul, the Game Master has announced a special surprise to be revealed in celebration of the "exciting" event.

Only time can tell what horror awaits...
And only time can tell who falls victim to the next roll of the Game Master's die...




Okay, so, this is an idea I've had going for a while now, did it before even, a while back, I've got a character, nice little serial killer here who likes to put his victims through elaborate D&D style dungeons, complete with the luck of the dice. If they survive, they go free, but what are the odds of that? Only three players have survived, thus far, two barely, one was released, and no one quite knows what that was about. Many speculate that the GM grew to have a soft spot for her, but the world will never know because she ended up taking her own life eventually.
Up until this special anniversary event, there has only ever been a single player in the dungeon, but that changes now. To celebrate this "victory" the GM is mixing things up and has decided to take on multiple players. Teams to be exact. What the GM plans to do with this change is uncertain, but one thing is certain...there is going to be a lot more bloodshed this season than ever before...

The roleplay will be your characters making their way through the dungeon, working together (or maybe not) to survive the trials and challenges the GM throws at you to make it through the dungeon and gain your freedom...or perhaps you might choose to refuse to play along with the GMs games, maybe...just maybe...you might want to try and put a stop to this game of death once and for all...

Not me realizing a week later that I never sub'ed to my own thread orz

@Xandrya Sorry for not responding sooner! If no one else jumps in, we could do this as a 1x1 instead and simplify it to the original single-player over having teams?

Lol, me, except I mistakenly thought that I'd automatically be subbed to my own thread 😅

This reminded me tho that I wanted to give a little more info about things for people, such as the plot and world and such, but I'll have to write all that up when I get back from my doctor appointment

If anyone has any questions, please do ask and I'll be happy to answer. There's a lot more to this story than I've already written, and it's not exactly your run of the mill survival; it's meant to have some mystery elements to it as well as some supernatural aspects
There's also two options for the characters, which is that they can all be human in a world much like our own, just, with a twist that will be revealed, or they can be various d&d races in a modern take of a high fantasy world, it's up to y'all, both would work just fine with the plot and rules of the game
Another important note: This is not a ttrp nor is it intended to be played as one; characters can be built like pcs, but overall the rp will follow a story and focus more on that than the actual game

No questions so far, just excited. I'll go with a regular human for a character. Can't wait to see what these surprises will bring!

Giving this one last bump to see if anyone else might be interested, there's supposed to be at least four characters, and y'all are welcome to double up and play more than one character to fill out the teams. There's a lot to be had here, the story is far from being just about the puzzles and survival, a lot of it is going to focus on figuring out how to beat the GM directly, uncovering secrets along the way

@Xandrya Do you wanna go ahead and hop into DMs or whatever and make this a 1x1 and discuss? Or I could go straight to making a thread for it? Or how do you wanna do this because I'm fine in thread, dms, or discord
