All I'll say is that baggage can be many things. If you've got a 40 year old ancient monster who's been hunted by people their entire life, it might be workable
Mundane is also fine. Mundane doesn't necessarily mean boring: the character I've been running has almost no superpowers at all, but I've spun him into something that works.

I tried joining the Discord link, but it's expired.
I'll check in tomorrow. Sorry for the late reply! I was watching a debate.

A big fantasy adventure, but you don't know who the other players are!

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 Destiny. Simply put, Destiny 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 Destiny 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.
When expressing interest, please let me know if you would prefer fantasy or modern superheroes!

I'm potentially interested, but I'll admit I'm torn between something very mundane and something very weird so far as concepts go. Part of me wants to go the 'urban legend' / sewer monster route for a grimy setting like this, but I'm not sure if that fits the 'supers with baggage' angle.

I've had to set the book down more often than I'd like. It's a real gut-puncher. Getting educated hurts.

@Pirate For my faction I'm working on submitting, are you cool with me working with the lore you already established for your orcs? I'm going to be making a goblin tribe, either Greenskins or Blueskins, and I wanted to tie their lore into the same elven empire that your orcs rebelled against.
Is that cool with you?
