Entry: Daddy, Joey and the Ancient Gods of Death

[rpoppe]

My favorite game name so far!

I love the idea of playing two characters in synergy - the God needs the tourist, and the tourist really, really wants the God's awesome powerz. Players could swap Gods through conflict - every God wants a great vessel, after all, so the most powerful and attractive tourists would be fought over, just as the most kick-ass Gods would. Sounds really fun!

I'm playtesting today. Meanwhile, here's a teaser image of the cover:

Sweet Quipporay, you have a cover! Sweet.

Another reason to check out the Roach is to answer the "what's in it for the characters" question. There is the original version from last year's GC around here somewhere, I think.

Touching the statues accidentally - nah
Touching the statues on purpose - yes!

Do you have any plans of dividing the playing time into smaller chunks, and are you going for an end game? How long?

(I want to play this)

Right now, conflict res goes like this:

Roll one die. 4-6: Win. 1-3: Lose. Opposed rolls: Highest wins.

But you get to roll an extra die for each god that possesses you, and choose which die you want to use.

That, of course, affects narration; if you use Quetzalkilleverything's die to win, you have to narrate how you win... with bloodlust.

(Playtest in 4 hours. You still have the time to get to Norway.)
