SILVER LINING [escapism game]

[Strude]

Basic premise of the game: a child attempts to escape their reality though a fantasy world of their creation, however reality infects this fantasy world as an evil force that the child must defeat. The child is joined by the heroes they imagination and together they go after the evil.

Everyone plays one hero the child imagines.
One person players the child.

Done. Nothing to terribly complicated.

Anyone interested?
Post your questions here.

Yup! You got some interest here!

Any questions (since I know this thread is FULL of insightful information in the first post! >D)

[Omlyt]

1) How does the child enter the world of his or her imagination?
2) How is the evil tied to the child? If it is part of his imagination, is it actually tied to him or her at all?
3) Where can I sign up? I love the idea. ^w^

1. Since we will be playing the products of the child's imagination, what freedoms are we given when crafting our characters? Do we have absolute freedom in design (e.g. we can define the limits of our creations and our creations' worlds)? In essence, the short question I'm asking is: are there any environmental/logical norms (e.g. the existence of magic) we must adhere to (and, if yes, what are they) or are we free to define the laws and norms of our characters and our characters' worlds?


2. How great of an impact does the real world have on the imagined world? I understand that the real world affects and shapes the evil forces, but, other than that, does the real world have any other impacts? For instance, if the child was somehow injured or upset in the real world, will those events take shape in the imaginary world?

Aaaaaaaaah *beats the crap out of her tablet* Omlyt I had a response written and then I hit the damn back button on my tablet. So I'll respond proper when I get back to my computer and have a proper keyboard. *sighs* it was a good response too.

This is an interesting idea.

Got to a keyboard sooner than I thought. XD


1. The child enters his/her imaginary world by will or by dreaming this is only relevant for the sake of knowing. To the heroes of the realm and for continuity purposes the imaginary realm continues without any pause to the real world and exists within a vacuum. To the heroes of the childs imagination the imaginary realm is the only realm.


2. The evil is a manifestation of the childs fears. All the negative experiences the child has that elicit a fear or hate response is protected as a evil within this imaginary realm.

I basically answered #2 when I responded to Omlyt, but no the real world outside of shaping the evil will not effect the imaginary realm. The entire game will take place only within the imaginary realm. I would say if the child died in the real world, then yes the imaginary world would crumble.

I'll answer #1 in a little bit.

Get me a Sharpie. XD

Players get freedom of design both of their character and their characters worlds, and the norms/limits of their respective worlds (including magic). Outside of their individual realm’s they will have to adhere to the norms of wherever they are.

In the game the heroes are summoned from their respective realms to the child’s realm. Like the heroes, the child has a realm of its own, and it is in this realm that we will be playing. Each hero will retain their magical abilities and may respond according to their realms traditions and laws (logically it makes sense for the hero to act according to what they know). However, they may also be affected by the laws and traditions and magics of the child’s realm.

I do reserve the right to request changes of characters if they do not work within the concept of the game.
