[world building?] Worlds Wide Net o' Gamers
Despite the fact all the worlds have their own separate logic, their own time and people, and their own rules, they do share three things.
Doors leading to one another.
References to the game Duel Monsters.
And competition.
And since the doors and Duel Monsters are obvious, clearly we need a regular reminder of the third in each world! So, I bring you a monthly issue of Worlds Gaming Tournaments! (Only $199.95 a year!)
Each world will have its own competition once per month, hosted by a fitting host. The number of applicants will vary by game, but most compete with an eight-person tier, after preliminaries eliminate any extras. The last standing will be named winner, recognized as respected champion by the npcs for the month, and gifted with a special ring, which to them is just an accessorizing trophy. In truth though, it has special effects on whomever puts it on, winner of the ring or not. (They also won't know what effect they might get. All the color hints is the theme! The exact nature is up to the player.)
All the other details? Flexible. Not only do the worlds host differing games, in different areas, with different competitors and prizes involved, but the givens are dangerously easy to abuse. If someone interfered with the tournament, or a particular player, the npcs might try to stop them. But most are just normal people, and no matter what the host will hold the games until the end, a winner will be named and respected, and the prize will be given.
Best hope you're not playing in a game where someone's willing to fight dirty!
^-^-^-^-^-^-^-^-^-^-^-^-^-^-^-^-^-^-^-^-^-^-^-^-^-^-^-^
There's the concept I have, as it is now. But it's just what I've mused up, and I want input! There's no point without gamers/scenarios we all want, and the specifics of worlds in particular are definitely up for grabs. That's said, here's what I've come up with so far, putting games & prizes in the best fitting world I can place, while balancing the want to cover options. You get world, game, location, host, prize ring color and theme, and some example effects.
Domino City (GX): CapMon {{Rotates Manga & PS2 game versions}}
Location: KaibaLand Capmon Building
Host: KaibaLand Worker
Prize: Green Swap Ring
Prize Effects: Power Swap, Body Swap, Gender Swap, Memory Swap, etc.
Ancient Egypt: Ka Battle {{Uncommon Horse Racing Variant}
Location: Market Street/Desert
Host: Siamun
Prize: Gold Power Ring
Prize Effects: Gain Millennium Item, Constant use of a Ka, etc.
Domino City (BC): Duel Monsters {{Traditional Format}}
Location: City Plaza
Host: Kaiba Seto
Prize: Silver Bonding Ring
Prize Effects: Instant CR, Charisma, Emotional Honesty, etc.
Duel Academia: Duel Monsters {{Advanced Format}}
Location: Duel Arena (or Across Campus)
Host: Various Professors
Prize: Red Romance Ring
Prize Effects: Crush, Lust, Good Date Karma, Irresistible, etc.
Satellite: "Bar" Games (Pool, Poker, Mahjong, & Chess)
Location: Bootleg
Host: Bar Owner
Prize: Brown Normal Ring
Prize Effects: Domestic situations, loss of powers, lighter priorities, etc.
Neo Domino Unified: Turbo Duel {{Turbo Decks}}
Location: Memorial Circuit
Host: MC
Prize: Black Loss Ring
Prize Effects: Loss of a sense, a memory, a relationship, etc.
Heartland: Kids Tournament (Jump Rope, Connect Four, Card Games)
Location: Heartland Theme Park
Host: Mr. Heartland
Prize: White Create Ring
Prize Effects: Free pass on making a room/item/world door without repercussions
Last, here's some input questions I'd really like–
How long should prize rings take effect? ((one week/two weeks/one month?))
Should effects have a permanent effect, if player prefers?
What alternate games/variations/hosts/locations/prize powers would you prefer?
Should npc contestants include fitting canons of the world?
And, enough of me talking for one night! Let me know what you want, instead.
