This is a 'toe in the water' type of interest check at this point. A preliminary poll to see if there is demand for this type of story, before I put any hard work into it. I've GM'ed several games now, most of which take place in the same universe, and I'm looking for a fresh take.

My favorite thing in movies/stories/shows is not when you have a Good Guy vs a Bad Guy. It's boring, expected and has been done to death. My FAVORITE thing is when you have a Bad Guy and are forced to send in a Worse Guy to take that person on. That's the concept of this RP proposal.

Supernatural/superhuman elements will be a must in order to keep my interest so it is safe to say that players would be able to create a despicable person with an extraordinary ability that will be forced to go up against an evil archetype that rivals their own sin, if not overshadowing it completely.

As mentioned earlier, this is a very early "anyone interested?' stage, so I have done nothing yet in terms of constructing a story or a world, but the concept will be that all the players are controlling deranged characters that society has grown to fear and are forced to go up against an entity that is presumed even worse. If we're doing this right then on Day 1, you'll have 5-8 characters who have joined the RP that you, the player, find yourself unable to trust. If done right, these characters will make you feel uneasy, uncomfortable. The more people that get accepted, the more nervous the players should be. As an extra bit of tension, I'm also considering the allowance of pvp character death (that is carefully regulated). Other players will technically be on your team, but if you put a mass murderer and a wanton arsonist in a room together then you shouldn't be surprised if things go awry.

Part of this game will be telling a story. The other part will be surviving the game from the enemies outside AND the enemies within.

The overall goal is for a very tense, untrusting playthrough with a group of characters that make the reader uncomfortable and oddly excited as they read the story that we weave. If you're not up to that sort of thing, no worries. If you think you are, though, then I'd love to hear that you're interested. If there is enough demand, I'll flesh it out.

Let me know if this could be worth my time and yours.

Sounds fun

I'm down to clown

I might be interested.

Potentially interested, based on if I can think of an interesting enough character for this premise.

Tentative interest. Let me know if you need help world building and what not.

this could be fun!

Interesting concept. Will keep eye on this.

I've been thinking on it more, the plot possibilities and the means of executing a game like this and I can honestly say that I'm getting pretty excited, which is a feeling I haven't felt about Roleplaying in over a month. This can potentially prove to be pretty awesome and new, so long as I don't screw it up.

Right now my goals are to first establish a plot skeleton, then establish rules of interaction and finally I'll jump into the deep end and get some lore developed. That said, accomplishing all of this will not be a quick thing. If you're interested in helping me build while donning the role of a Co-GM then send me a message. If you want to help build regardless of a formal title, let me know that, too. Not all requests will be granted and please don't be offended if I don't take you up on your offer. I assure you it's not personal.
