The Story
A tale unfolds, guided by what happens in the game.
This is a living, breathing game. The world, the Factions, and most of all the Characters will change over time. The actions in — and the outcomes of — the Battles will guide players through the progress of the game by determining the ebb and flow of Character value, the way those Characters develop, and even the history of this world.
Value in this sense is similar to the value of athletes to their sports and teams as well as the value of sports franchises across a professional sports league. In Fantasy Sports, the better an athlete does over time, the more their “stock” rises amongst players, causing them to be drafted, traded, etc for higher prices. Same goes with sports teams. As a team performs over time, the value of that franchise increases or decreases, which brings advantages/disadvantages along with it. So too will Fantasy Fantasy Characters and Factions develop.
This game might be most similar in gameplay to a Fantasy Sports experience, but the Characters and their actions are driven by a RPG system of stats, abilities, and personalities which develop over time. Similar to value, Character development in the game is guided by several factors:
Performance — how a Character fares in Battle will lead to stat increases/decreases, leveling, and mental buffs/debuffs
Events — the metagame (which we’ll get into later) will include triggered Events. Those events in the world will be triggered by various things including Battle outcomes, cumulative wins/losses by Factions, and Intrigue
Players (maybe) — we’re working on a system to allocate development points when Characters level that would allow Players to vote on that allocation across stats/abilities if they have that Character currently rostered. This will either be awesome or a terrible idea, so stay tuned.
Finally, no game would be complete without a bunch of tasty Lore. True to its name, Fantasy Fantasy will deliver on that front in a unique way: it will start as a setting with very little history other than the background of the Realms, Factions and Characters. From there, the world and everything in it that’s relevant to the game will evolve, and Players will have a hand in decisions on behalf of the Realms and Factions. As that evolution continues, the story will be told in a variety of ways.
