Horrible Game Ideas

1. WoD - 100% normal humans (through the entire game) Vs Anastagio's Olde Time Lunar Carnival and Midnight Circus.

-iE2.  Any System - Time travel.... lots and lots and lots and lots of time travel.

3. any system - PCs must all have romantic relations with at least two other PCs. Bonus if you don't tell them till chars are created and genders are picked.

4. dnd - Third party races and classes only.

5. Any system - All the PCs have amnesia the GM makes a secret character for each player. Then the players play without the sheet and just guess. "Do I have a sword? Ok, I swing it"

2.  Any System - Time travel.... lots and lots and lots and lots of time travel.

Re: Horrible Game Ideas

I like the idea of normal humans vs The Midnight Circus. It's very Something Wicked This Way Comes. Doesn't have to be a slaughterhouse. It could be a hope spot for the humans. It could be about the creatures remembering their humanity, if they had any to start with. Or anything. A lot of directions.

Re: Horrible Game Ideas

Who cares what started it, let's keep it going.

7. M&M - Everyone's powers are extremely limited and weak, example: "Player X can fly... north only"

8. D&D - Time period is early man, no communication skills have developed.

9. BESM - Modern American Football theme.

10. D&D - A nautical adventure based off the adventures of the movie Life of Pi.

I'm afraid that I love these "bad" ideas too much. I have cultivated poor taste and I enjoy it.

11. World of Darkness Vampire and Mage Crossover based on West Side Story or some kind of Rodgers & Hammerstein musical. I'm picturing street fights and characters breaking into song/players posting in rhyme. Using Disciplines and Spheres to orchestrate regular humans into dance battles.

Or only in the direction of the rising (or else setting) sun, based on the last time it was observed. If you wind up out over the ocean... Oh, well.

Re: Horrible Game Ideas

14: Any System: Characters are forced to act as if in a musical, with spontaneous burst of music and singing when ever music is heard.
Wandering NPC mistrals wander about forcing everyone to break in to song and dance routines.


I have run the 'everyone has amnesia' game, though I did let them check their equipment list. Then let them try and work out why they were, why they were there, and such.
(Put a group of people in medieval armor and weapons in catacomb / sewer type setting - did not tell them till the end of the game that they were actually lost under modern NYC and were actually Larpers)

In reply to Sleepy (msg # 17):

OH! Even better! The story of Twilight told through the music of Justin Beiber! The players must work to save the benighted town of Forks before they fall to the Evil Temptation of slaughtering them all. Or worse: succumb to the plague Beiber Fever!

Dun Dun DUNNN!
