Game idea (unsure if it should be straight AW, or a Powerd By, or needs be a new hack):
Before the fall, there was a prophecy. A child, born on a certain day, would save the world. X children, born that day have been raised by the Order of the Word.
The PCs are those X children (where X=#ofPCs) and the prophesied day is less than 3 months away. Who is the chosen one? Is there anything the Order hasn’t told them? The Order has tried to raise them equally, but surely there is competition, and jealousy. Especially if one of them seems more likely to be the Chosen One.
So the idea was inspired by this video, which is inspired by a Ray Bradbury Short story. If you’re going to steal, might as well steal from the best right?!
Quest
DW is a good place to start… it could also go with Monster of the Week with everyone being Chosen or at least having access to the Chosen moves… I do not know enough about SCUP to comment on it.
I was actually thinking Monsterhearts might be the right vehicle.
Monsterhearts can certainly work, but I would caution that it seems to push towards in-fighting where MotW is more team oriented… so its purely a matter of taste for your game
Infighting is actually kind of why I was thinking of MH…
Shameless plug, but Urban Shadows would work well too. The MC could write a set of Chosen Corruption moves that all the protagonists could take instead of their own. Would create a mechanical tension for growing closer to their destinies. 🙂
