The Game(tm)

BECAUSE:

a) it has been a month

and

b) People have been more patient than, say, Sparkie about a lack of games.

So, the system: BESM. 300 points. Ignore skills. No restrictions. No limits*. (No sanity?)

* Management reserves the right to ixnay certain concepts based on PCs being part of a team. Etc.
Making characters directly from an anime/show is frowned upon (not that the GM is liable to catch most of that if one does :)). Recycling/repurposing characters one has played before is entirely fine, to clarify.


The Game. That is all it is known as. It is the multiverses biggest and best reality TV show. Challenges! Battles! Skills! Everything one can imagine and many things that can't be broadcast happen in The Game. The prize for winning the game is monetary, but the actual rewards of fame, fortune and media deals far outstrip mere money so The Game had expanded the roster to include heart's desires, favours, revealing secrets and the like as possible options.

The challenges: Battles (physical, mental and even culinary). Skill tests involving memory, endurance and teamwork.

The rules: Traditionally, none. But no one who has flat-out murdered more than one contestant has ever actually won it. (Killing someone who murders another contestant does not count as murder, according to the rules.) Bad sportsmanship is frowned on and the winner is determined by a huge poll along with the show presenters and the producer being the deciding votes. Popular opinion does not always carry the day but most winners have worked with others and some years multiple-winners were announced. (Once, everyone competing won, but that is far rarer.) Even being in it is source of notoriety and fame for some to carry on to their lives after it is all over.

But this year it is different. This year there are PCs in it, and the multiverse is in for a season of The Game unlike any other it has ever seen. Viewing numbers will go spastic, whole worlds might fall and even the fabled, unseen Producer might be forced to act before the end ....


So: toss ideas about and go nuts :)


Game time(s) to be determined by player availability.
