So I'm new here but I have had this idea burning in my head and need to get it out there. It's still very much in the early devlopment stages and I am looking, in addition to Rpers, for people interested in helping to development and refine the idea.
The basic idea is an alternate Earth (or timline in our own perhaps) where a consortium of mid to low-level criminals in Las Vegas discovers that there are portals underneath some of the city's casinos, night-clubs, brothels and other dens of inequity are portals that lead to a realm of magic populated by all manner of super-natural creatures as well as human , demi-human and humanoid races of warriors, spell-casters, rogues, priests and other fantasy character professions.
Gradually, either through theft, bargains, possessions and other means the creatures and magic from that realm filter into Las Vega, As either puppets or puppet-masters, the low-ranking henchmen and other subordinates begin seeking to not only overthrow the mob bosses that run the city's crime syndicate but to eliminate, enslave or ally with law -enforcement offfcials and who might otherwise oppose them.
The discovery of the fantasy realm and the battle for control of las Vegas will comprise the main plot. I see the story beginning i 1983.. The scenario would also welcome many sub-plots and if there is enough interest people could participate in sub-plots that may or may not be directly related to the resolution of the main conflict. Also, I would like to omit any su[er-powered characters that could throw off the balance of the game so think of limitations.weaknesses /circumstances that could limit the powers and abilities of your character. Humans from either realm and virtually any fantasy race are allowed. And there are no restrictions on alignment. . The story will be told in installments that may be brolen down into sub=chapters depending on how many participate consistently.
I prefer the overall tone of the role-play to be dark and gritty, although within the confines of the STC rules for public posting. Exploration of themes such as addiction, gambling, exploitation and other mature as[ects of siciety is encouraged. Further details on the way and again, brainstorning is welcome.
