Nayt:
Fortunately, my third wasn't garbage. I had to think long and hard to make some of the tropes actually work in a game, but it should altogether be a fun game. I'm probably going to run it this week sometime and post a link this weekend.

Clockwurke Bear:
I am so glad you're keeping my dream alive Greg. I'll do one when not my phone.

luffy316:
I still mean to run it too, someday. I think I had another, more half-baked one laying around about David Bowie and fraud heroes

eliasswift:
Setting: The Shangri La

Plot: The Magic Goes Away

Narrative Device: It Was A Gift

Hero: Barbarian Hero

Villain: Terrible Trio

Character as Device: Not In Front Of The Kid

Characterization Device: Adaptation Personality Change

I actually have a somewhat coherent idea.

In ancient times, in the magical city of Shangri La, the tribal people of the land talk about a great war that happened a generation ago. Now, the final scars of the war are seen, and it turns out the great evil has tainted the source of magic for the city, and soon magic will be leaving the world. There is one way to stop it, though.

Our protagonists are given the great task of taking a young child, the only person who can cleanse the source and protect the magic of the land. They must escort her to the true heroes, the protagonists the great epics from the war. Unfortunately, things don't quite measure up. These old heroes are greedy sociopaths, who adventured for fame and fortune. They have grown fat and lazy, and are far from heroic. Will our escorts rise up and become the new heroes? Or will the world fall apart and slip between their finger?

luffy316:
holy shit, yea. just reading the tropes that one fell together nicely
