captain_slinkyHas anybody heard ofa Dungens & Dragons style game that actively pits the Dungeon Master against the player? I mean, y'know, other than EVERY RPG ON THE MARKET (Bazinga)?
Ideas for a fast-paced D&D Parody Game started falling out of my head and on to paper yesterday, and it's such a good idea that I can't believe it hasn't already been done. I want to check first, make sure it hasn't already been done... nothing I hate more than spending a mnth writing something only to hear "Oh that's just like the game Crazy Eights"!
Working title is "THE DM IS TRYING TO KILL YOU!"
It's a Board Game along the lines of "Zombies" in that the board is never the same twice, being drawn at random. Game for 2 to 6 players. One player is "The Dungeon Master", the rest of the players are "Gamers". Object of the game is to loot the dungeon and vanquish the evil before the DM kills all your characters. The "Gamers" start the game with a deck of 52 bb"Adventurers" to plow through. If the DM manages to kill all 52 Adventurers, he wins! If The Gamers make it through the Dungeon and kill The Big Boss, then whoever's current character has the most treasure is the winner.
Gonna try playing a test-version with the girls during Geek Camp, see how it ends up...
