I've got an idea for Game Chef. Here's my thread, I'll reproduce the first post here.
Alright, I'm going to be using George's and one false move's art.
So right now I don't have much of a game, but I do have a setting. All-female PCs. You play women who:
* Can see the substrate behind reality, and can effect it. This substrate is very poetic and metaphorical.
* Personify some idea, place, thing.
* Exist on a continuum between Athenaic and Maenadic natures.
Athenaic means possessed of extreme skill, intelligence, and perfection, but interpersonally cold and distant. Maenadic are passionate, creative, and instinctual but are dark and violent.
There would be another tension in the game, between eros and agape; eros being love for your personal interactions and the people you interact with in the monkeysphere, and agape being love of large things like nation or the thing which you personify. Characters would have tensions built in to satisfy both sides.
Right now, like I said, I don't have too much of a system. Also I'm not sure whether I want the Athenaics and Maenadics to be separate groups, or whether I want individuals to vary with the moon phase, becoming more Athenaic during the full moon and more Maenadic during the new moon.
That's the core of it so far. More later.
