Rocks Fall, Everyone Dies
Post:
You are the hero. You have just munchkinned the laws of reality so well that the Divine Manager wants you dead. Betrayed by your companions and with the Universe out to get you, how will you survive!?
I started writing this quest. It is somewhat inspired by Harry Potter and the Natural 20 and the famous webcomic Goblins. It's about an adventurer in an RPG world who has pissed off the Divine Manager by munchkinning his way into beating the big bad near the start of his journey. The idea was basically to have the story be somewhat of a competition between me (the author), and the readers. I've started it with a fairly low difficulty, I think, that way both me and the readers will have time to gain experience and skill in playing this game/story. If their character dies, they get to pick another one. If the entity beyond time and space that is playing their character (the "player" in the story, Alex) gets booted from the Cosmic Playgroup, it will be game over, and they'll have to start over completely. I'm not sure how rational it's going to be, but it seems like something you guys might like.
The rules are a bit long though, since I invented a completely new rules system for it. There are no classes. All stats are either physical or mental/spiritual, and they vary between different parts of your body or spirit. (the brain is kinda like a phylactery in this setting). All skills require certain parts of your body or spirit to have a sufficiently high stat to use. The stat of a body part or spirit part equals its hit points minus one. The amount that something weighs in kilograms is its total hit points. More of the rules are explained at the beginning of the story. The rules are very malleable to the creativity and common sense of the readers. You are allowed to suggest new rules.
