Discuss So, I have another idea for an RPG (Your apathy wins. I give up)

[Charles]

Based on member feedback on my last attempt at an RPG (which would have been awesome), I'm going to pitch another idea and see how it's received before I bother to undertake the work that's going to be necessary to get it up and running.

So, I was thinking about doing an RPG based on Pogs. Yes, that's right. Pogs. Hear me out.

The game would focus on the collection of pogs. Everyone would start out with their deck of starter pogs. OtakuBoards would be like a map with territories. Each player would start owning a different territory. Now, I would list different combinations of pogs that members would have to form in order to "take over" a specific section of OtakuBoards. The first to take over OtakuBoards entirely, would win.

There would be a number of ways in which members could earn new, rare pogs. Players could trade with one another to expand their decks. Or, perhaps players would have to find pogs based on clues (a la the bomb hunt from FQFG). Oooor, I might provide specific challenges (like make a thread in Otaku Lounge that gets so and so amount of legitimate replies in so and so amount of time). Members could also fuse pogs to come up with more valuable ones---but at the same time risk getting worse pogs.

I would keep track of all trades in a main thread.

If you don't like the territory idea would could just play for points, or just see who could build the largest collection.
