Text Rpg: A Vision of Hell [Earn Steem]

Welcome to this experimental game where you, the reader, get to decide where the story goes next. I want to be as clear and precise as possible on explaining how to play, so here goes:

Source

Main Story

A Vision of Hell centers around the life of two teenagers, brother and sister, living in medieval times. Their village is raided and torched, forcing them to run and hide in the wild. From there, their lives can take many paths and it will be up to you to decide their destiny.

How the decisions will be made

Possible decisions will be proposed by your comments. The decision that receives the most upvotes will be the one taken. Also, if there is more than one comment suggesting a decision, then the upvotes will add up.

Note that you can propose individual decisions for each of the main characters.

Earning Steem through the game

Each time a decision is made, the writer of the decision will receive 25% of the post payout.

Another 25% of the payout will be distributed among all those who upvoted the decision made.

A further 25% will be distributed among those who are in charge of a character and took action in the post.

Importance of role-playing

The decisions proposed and the choices made by the played characters must be within the context of the story. Those who do not role-play will have their characters killed in the short-term and those who propose decisions that do not fit the story in any way will not get rewards even if they upvoted a selected decision.

Survival

This will be a game with pretty vulnerable characters. They will be prone to hunger, thirst, cold, tiredness and all sorts of emotional states. However, if good decisions are made, pretty wild things will be able to be accomplished.

The main characters CAN die, and then it's over. End of story. Permadeath. Each time a character is on the verge of death there will be a roll to see if he or she is saved.

You will have to consider food and water supply wich will be displayed at the beginning of each post.

Magic

This is a low-magic setting. There will be access to some magic, mainly support and debuff, but it will be very limited. Magic will be in direct connection to the spiritual development of the characters.

There will also be some fantasy creatures, spirit manifestations, and lots of necromancy.

Skills

Skills will be developed by practice. There will be a character sheet for each character where they add experience each time they attempt to do something.

Rolls

I will use a d20 dice for everything. From 1 to 3 is a critical failure that may come with harsh consequences. From 4 to 9 is a partial success that comes with consequences. From 10 to 15 is partial success that may come with small consequences. From 15 to 20 its full blown success with no consequences.

The final outcome is determined by Skill Level + Roll.

Hit points / Magic points

There will be no numerical measurement of the characters health or magical power. This information can be gathered by paying attention to the story.

Playing a character

During their journeys, the main characters will meet new companions that can aid them on your journey. Those who have made decisions that built the story in the past will have points for every decision made. The player with most points till the moment of arrival of the new companion will have full control over the new-coming character.

The character will have a starting personality and skills, but they be modified by the player over time provided it is done gradually and in accordance to the story.

These characters can also walk away from the main story every once in a while to live small side stories of their own.

Frequency of game

The story posts will be published every week, after payout of the previous part, which will be the time you have to comment and propose decisions, as well as upvoting those that you find interesting.
