    So I'll try to make a RP game, hopefully it'l work.
    I have a sketch of a pretty cool game (imo) which I'm planning to run in an upcoming con. I thought I could test it here first.
    The cool thing is, its pretty much turn-based, with turns in the same round happening simultaneously, so while I'm not sure it could work in real life, in here it would be perfect, seeing how we will have very little waiting times and there should be a good flow.

    Its a pretty crazy fantasy-themed game which is built kinda like a contest between the players, although of course players can choose different goals and so there doesn't necessarily have to be a single "winner". It doesn't actually require any deep roleplaying, its supposed to be pretty easy and fun. (There won't be lots of things that you'll have to follow and stuff)

    Post here if you're interested, once I'll have 4-5 people I'll open the thread with all the details, character info etc.
    You can select one of the following phobias if you want, or I'll select them for you randomly: (Each will define your character's special abilities)
    Schizophrenia, Hemophobia, Chronophobia, Phobic imagination, Zoophobia, Thanatophobia

    More info:

    There will be rounds, in each round each player will get a turn, and during each player's turn that player will have several options presented before him based on his surroundings, his items and his abilities. There won't be lots of information that you'll need to follow or lore that you'll need to read or anything, I'll try and make it as simple and as fun as possible.

    The world is made up of separate rooms which are planned ahead of time, however you create the passages between those rooms (you'll see) and I'll draw a map and update it after every round to show the new passages created. It will be built kinda like a contest, although you can team up or just forget about the "official" goal and do whatever you want. (maybe you just want to annoy everyone and make everybody lose, thats also fun in a way)

    also there will be npc's to spice things up.

    Heres a basic description of the abilities gained by each phobia:

    Schizophrenia - personality disorder - you get an evil twin. (not really a phobia I guess)
    Hemophobia - fear of blood - crazy things happen around you when stuff die / when you get in contact with blood in general (when you get wounded etc.)
    Chronophobia - fear of time - you spontaneously travel through time.
    Phobic imagination - you alter reality using your imagination (its pretty erratic and random)
    Zoophobia - fear of animals - you can shapeshift
    Thanatophobia - fear of death - you are immortal.

    all of these abilities are passive in the sense that you can't control them, i roll a die (one of many i will roll for many different purposes on each turn) and based on the result an ability may be activated.

    Copypasta'd from The Cheshire Cat:More info:
    Schizophrenia - personality disorder - you get an evil twin. (not really a phobia I guess)
    Hemophobia - fear of blood - crazy things happen around you when stuff die / when you get in contact with blood in general (when you get wounded etc.)
    Chronophobia - fear of time - you spontaneously travel through time.
    Phobic imagination - you alter reality using your imagination (its pretty erratic and random)
    Zoophobia - fear of animals - you can shapeshift
    Thanatophobia - fear of death - you are immortal.
    Nymphomania - fear of normal sex - random sex toys and leather suit's (Armour and weapons)

    all of these abilities are passive in the sense that you can't control them, i roll a die (one of many i will roll for many different purposes on each turn) and based on the result an ability may be activated.
