This thread contains multiple ideas. The one thing they have in common is they involve a game of some sort. Let me know if you're interested in any of these, or if you have any questions!

Supernatural Video Game Tournament


Someone's holding a video game tournament where you don't just play the games; you go inside them! I plan to play the person holding the tournament, as well as characters within the worlds of the game: "NPCs", if you will. We can use existing games, or we can make up new ones.

Your characters will each be tasked with completing a series of objectives. At first they'll be objectives within the game, like winning a kart race. But eventually, they'll get weirdly personal; for example, a character might have to face their biggest fear. If we go with this one, please bring a character with at least one personal problem!

Otherwordly Casino

What if there was a casino where you could bet things other than money? And I don't just mean physical objects; maybe you could bet a skill, good personal quality, or treasured memory in the hopes of getting something even better! Like a new talent, physical or emotional strength, or something like...resurrecting a loved one? It's admittedly a vague idea, but there's a lot of directions we can go with it. Maybe there's a secret the casino is hiding...

Some of us will play dealers, and others will play patrons. I plan to use online dice to simulate random chance.

The Bachelor/Bachelorette/Single Person

All of your characters are vying for mine's hand in marriage! They do not all have to be in love with them: maybe my character's a royal or otherwise has a lot of power. We also don't have to closely model this after the ABC show, and it will probably be better if we don't; I haven't seen a single episode of The Bachelor or any of its spin-offs.

I don't have to play the single person; someone else could, and I would play one of the contestants or the host of the competition.

Erotic Board Game Night

We either use an existing board game or make up a new one and give it a sexual twist. We could keep it realistic; maybe in order to move their piece forward or get extra in-game currency, players will have to answer a sexual question ("truth") or perform a sexual act ("dare"). Or we could give it a supernatural aspect.

I may update this if I think of more ideas!

I kind of like the erotic board game idea, except... have you heard of an obscure porn game made in Twine, called Goo-manji (and there are also several others along the same theme, like "Humpin")? Basically you take the Jumanji story, but instead of the square you land on making jungle animals appear out of nowhere, the square you land on will cause sexual transformations (of body and/or mind). Boys turning into girls, girls turning into boys, breast expansion, bimbo lips, mind control, new fetishes, addictive cum, hypnotic tits, all that fun stuff. Played by a group of friends (or frenemies) in college who absolutely won't be able to look each other in the eye after the game is over.

Also, whoever wins the game gets to decide whether all transformations should be reversed, or they should all become permanent.

I haven't, but that does sound along the lines of what I was thinking when I said "supernatural", and it could be fun!


I would want to make some changes. For one thing, I'm not sure how trans and non-binary people would factor into gender or sex switches, and I'd want to know everyone's limits so I know what NOT to put in there. But I'd also want to see what new ideas we could contribute. Maybe there's a way to reverse transformations? Maybe they're transported to another dimension or trapped in the room, and they have to finish the game to leave? If you have anything specific you'd like to try, let me know!
 
It seems a while since this thread has had a reply but I couldn't help my interest at the casino idea. What would one bet for the chance at "greatness"? What would one person willingly sluff off of their personality in order to sieze something else? Its such a fascinating concept, especially considering you could be throwing your most cherished memories or your source of wordly income on the table in what is esentially a game of chance! I adore this concept. If it ever were to be realized I would gladly jump aboard.

Thanks! I don't know if I have time to organize a group role play right now, but it could be a possibility for later! What you said about "greatness" has me thinking: what if what you get for winning isn't all it's cracked up to be? Maybe someone wished to make a major impact on the world, but they didn't specify positive or negative, and now they have to come back in the hopes of reversing their winnings.

I'm also wondering about logistics. In a real casino, you spend money in the hopes of gaining more money than you spent. Pretty simple, since it's all the same thing. But if you're betting something different from what you hope to gain, how would that work? Would you lose it no matter what, or only if you lost the bet? Would it be possible for someone else to gain what you lost? Imagine someone else walking around with your most precious memory!
 
I'm interested in this idea:

The Bachelor/Bachelorette/Single Person

Thanks! If at least two people besides me are interested in the same idea, I'll consider that enough to start. (Though if there's only three of us for the Bachelorex idea, we may have to play multiple characters each.)
