short game ideas
These are some ideas I have for some small games. I really like what jason tocci does and want to emulate the form.
concerns
playing and playtesting seem to be difficult. I’m considering a discord server for some more passive vignette style play to ensure things work without too much effort
the list
some of these have work done, some do not
- Sedition Echo - a game about ordinary people caught in a web of conspiracy. Roughly Cthulhu Dark based.
- The Door of Autumn - a game of early turn if the century children who discover the house they are in has doors to another world. Reality hopping, focusing on wonderment, awe, and growing into yourself
- Eschelon of the Wolves - a story of stories. Each player creates a fictional world and a main character for that story. Due to the power of the Eschelon, the stories begin to bleed together and characters transfer between stories. Use a Legacy-like system to create the story world, main characters, and supplemental characters. Each story is moved by Faction moves, and then other players choose which characters bleed over to play out scenes. See: Re:Creators, Ten Thousand Doors of January, Neverending Story
