But People have fears that beasts do not. Questions, too.

Game: Sundown Run [CYOA] - Like Lord of the Tower, but with Wacky Racers.
System: Wingin' it, but more rules heavy than Lord of the Tower. Somewhat like a boardgame with RPG elements!
Format: CYOA
Players: 6/6 currently, but quick turnover expected as players die out.
Description: Astrilia - B-Class Garden World, second out from its star. The star - C12-Exen - is near its end. Chandrasekar mass limit will be reached in three day’s time, whereupon its core will collapse and rebound, bathing Astrilia first in a wash of neutrinos and assorted radiation, then - minutes afterwards - a wave of stellar ejecta that will scour its surface clean. Natives are Early Information Age: no interplanetary flight. Samples have been taken for potential further exploitation but the remainder shall languish on their doomed world…

This condemned world is the stage for this cycle’s Sundown Run, sponsored by Ascended Executive Supra-Corp RAMA! Thrill seekers, conscripted prisoners, adventurers and assorted badasses are all invited to compete in a race around the planet, knowing death is right around the corner - but if they’re fast enough, death’ll take second place instead.



My second CYOA after Lord of the Tower finished - this shares absolutely nothing at all in common except some slight mechanical similarities and possibly minor references. Certainly nothing requiring you to have played my prior game! Take control of both a Corporation hovering around a doomed planet in a high-end executive space station and the Racer on said doomed planet. Death is quick and common-place, but you can just hop back in the next time there's an opening! Even if you're not currently playing, you can affect gameplay by donating Points to impressive Racers which they can use to keep themselves alive in a hostile landscape! Heck, there's no need to ever make a Racer at all, if you want - you can be an Angel Investor from up on high, raining down your bounty. Very casual, with minimal work required from players - just give me a few rolls, and I'll do the rest.

Feel free to talk to us on IRC on SynIrc #madgod - I'm on often to answer any questions you might have, so drop by.

The real power behind countless overlords

Thread: Demigods, Dinosaurs, and Other Disasters
System: DungeonWorld
Format: PBP
Players: 4-5(ish)

Make some noise and dance ... to the beat of your heart. Before the current age, the Gods made at least three other races of men and killed them off. The events of this morning are enough to make you think they might be gearing up to do it again, but the future is not written in stone. 100% more dinosaurs than expected; guaranteed or your character back! Free blank spot on the map with every application! Supplies limited! Get yours now before they're gone!

Honestly wasn't sure what to say for recruitment. DungeonWorld encourages DMs to not have a fixed adventure plan until after the first session so I'm going to try that. It makes providing a brief description of what the game difficult though, since I don't know what it is yet! I can assure you I have several ideas boiling away for where the game could go, but hopefully you and the other players will come up with something way more fun than I could dream up on my own.

Description: You died! Well, you are all dead. The grim reaper botched reaping your current life and dropped your soul, shattering it into all the lives it has and will live. To fix this error and hide it from the bosses, each past life is going to re-live it's life in a new world, starting in stone-age times and growing from there! Each life will have a unique perspective on the future created by past lives but retaining skills and knowledge gained by previous lives. Explore a rich, mysterious world and ruin it by rushing gunpowder in the neolithic age or simply getting a scrape and dying of infection within a week, or quite possibly end up a caveman in the year 10,000 scared out of your hairy brain. What world would you make if you had a second chance?

The idea is we get a group of people to create the setup and identity of the party. Deciding/voting on the particulars like good/evil/neutral, military mission/random adventure/bounty, etc. Then we make characters for it.

Basically just pitch a cool idea for a small team in the SW universe. Just need a GM to do it.
