Hello!
I have a short adventure I want to run in the Yoon Suin setting - a "point" crawl in a ruined city overgrown by jungle. I've already play-tested it with my group. The goal here is to (of course) have fun with a short mission with a defined end, but also to try something new, both setting and system wide.
Yoon Suin is a vaguely Tibet/Nepal/India inspired setting, ruled by indolent slugmen who are obsessed with tea, opium and knowledge. It is also the best RPG book I've purchased in the last 20 years.
Troika! is a very simple yet robust gaming system, based on the old Fighting Fantasy "choose your own adventure" style books. If you don't know the system, don't have the book, don't worry about it, is is extremely easy to learn. Character creation is very fast and somewhat random - you roll to see what character you are. You could be a parchment witch, a lonesome king (who has no kingdom), a monkey wrangler, a poorly made dwarf.... What you do with this selection is, of course, entirely up to you - "designing" your character isn't the game here, playing your character is
Troika! has a psychedelic science-fantasy flavor, one that will marry well with Yoon Suin I think. Your characters will be locals, travelers, or perhaps visitors from beyond the stars. This is my first pbp game as a GM, although I've been involved in several as a player. If at the end of the adventure, everyone is having fun and wants to continue, we could!
So who is interested?
Edit: we will go ahead if we have 3 players, and I will cap it at 6.
Edit 2: if you are hesitating because you are afraid of getting a background you don't like, if it's something you really hate I will allow a re-roll. Alternatively players could "trade" PCs. But do have an open mind, this isn't a classic "fighter wizard thief cleric" game.
