I have an idea for a role playing game. It’s still very much in “beta” right now and I need some people to help me test it out. If anyone is patient and would like to try I think it could be enjoyable. Let me explain the rules a bit

The quest at The Drunken Wolf

Premise: Game is meant for at least four players, though up to ten can join for now. Each player will receive a random character. Each character has a quest they must accomplish at the tavern known as The Drunken Wolf. The narrator (Me) will tell the story as it happens, and each player must then tell the narrator what they want their character to do. The player can have their character do whatever they’d like, but keep in mind that each character has a list of stats that will determine how well they do this task. Example: A character with a strength of 9 and intelligence of 2 will be very suited for any task involving brute force, but if the task requires any brains he or she will likely fail at it.

Each character has a “main quest” they need to complete in order to win. Each will also have a short list of side quests/bonus quests they can do for bonus points. The game ends once everyone has either finished their main quest, or dies trying. Keep in mind it is impossible for every player to succeed at their main quest, as most of the quests involve getting another player to fail at their quest. Example: If one character is a bounty hunter his quest will be to either kill or capture his target, while the other players quest will be to either kill or evade the bounty hunter

Here’s where things get a bit tricky, for the story to work it’s important that none of the other players know who has what character or what the other is planning. To do this we need a private way to inform the narrator what the player wants their character to do. I’m open for suggestions if anyone has a better idea, but as of right now the only thing I can think of is email. After each section of story the players must email the narrator telling him what they want their player to do. My email is jak29999@gmail.com

This is just kind of a broad idea at the moment. And questions or suggestions are appreciated. Would anyone like to try playing?
