I’m most looking for here is playtesters.

The projects aims at recreating stuff like Sword Art Online, Tron or Log Horizon…stories where people get stuck in a virtual world or an alternate universe that looks similar to a particular game.

While I did not create rules for it, stories switching between virtual and physical worlds are a plan down the line if the project garners enough interest.

Rules are included for Fate Core, GUMSHOE and Powered by the Apocalypse.

SRDs would be necessary to play these rules and this is aimed at people already familiar with the systems. (PbtA doesn’t have an SRD as such, but if you have no experience with it, I suggest starting with Monster of the Week or Spirit of 77 in relation to this packet as that was what I took a lot of the basic design ideas from.)

Note, I have a fair amount of experience playing, running and designing with Fate. I have some experience with PbtA and I have little experience with GUMSHOE, so I will probably have made the most system errors with that third set of rules. Suggestions for all three are appreciated.

  1. Not sure if that is the feedback you are looking for but 2 of these women are drawn rather exploitative. That fits into the way a lot of RPGs depict female characters but that is not how I would want them to look in a game I run/play in.

  2. I asked the artist to make the characters “sexier” than the player because of that trend in online RPGs…..though that does bring up another segment of the genre that I could add to Nature of the World….I was thinking about the story genre not the video game genre….

    To be honest, I expected the artist to do maybe one of the characters like that…but I forgot she particularly enjoys drawing sexy, scantily clad women….I’ve had to request her to not give me “smooshy boobs” before.

    Anyway…dealing with the generally sexist incarnations of most MMOs does make good story….so that is usable feedback

    Also, my preferences for cover art are rather more realism…I got that for myself as a B-Day gift and left most of the design to the artist to serve as a surprise.

    So an actual project might have more something like this person’s art:
