『It feels really bad since I kept dragging ZL for 2 years of working in progress and still haven't hosted it mainly due to my laziness and always reworking it. So I'd love to postpone it and bring you this season, or more like murder mini-game to your attention:』
『Alea Jacta Est - Let the die be cast』
『I'm sure lots of you have heard this saying in one way or another with one order or another meaning either that or "the die is now cast" or whatnot. I'm sure everyone of you also heard of at least few different afterlives too. And oh, there are so many of different afterlives pictured by different religions, more than I could count on my fingers. But which of them is the true one? Or is it none of them? You, my poor unlucky lamb, killed by nothing else but a stroke of bad luck, are about to find out.』
Setting: You are poor soul, dead by an accident. Was it gambling with russian roulette and landing an unlucky bullet in your head, was it a life or death operation in hospital with really small chance of failure failing on you, was it random crane at construction site randomly malfunctioning and dropping a heavy something right on top of your head? Regardless what it was, your death couldn't be described as anything other than unlucky accident. But then, you wake up, and find yourself in this strange casino, with bunny girls everywhere and a strange man in a top hat offering you another game of luck, a gamble with a chance of miraculous revival at stake.
Location: Huge, or maybe not so huge Afterlife Casino.
Victory condition and death: Murder victory is not the end, death also isn't. If you get the right for revival you don't have to use it right away, and if you get murdered, you will just revive at the end of the trial. I might even make some sort of mini-game like betting on who murdered you or/and whether they will be caught to get bonuses if you guess correctly for murdered.
Inventory: I will be using the Item Size system, more on that here. Dice and cards will not weight anything but there is a limit as to how many you can fit in the card holder.
Luck and RNG: As this is an afterlife casino all about luck and unluck, all of players will have their own pair of dice on them and most actions will be going through dice rolls and rng checks, but when I say most, I don't mean all. For example, you won't need to roll rng just to move around, examine most things or pick items. But quite a lot of actions will be RNG. But, never fear, because removing RNG from those kinds of actions is what your talent and Card System is for.
Card System: The main mechanic of whole season. All players will start with 1 random card depending on the roll they do with a dice in application thread. And then there will be other cards scattered around casino and earned by random mini-games, etc. You will also be able to earn them by successfully getting away with murder, making semi-correct theory on right culprit (doesn't need to successfully vote them down). The cards represent different bonus mechanics starting from Get out of Jail free cards that will allow you to substitute with random other person if you are about to get murdered, initiate Eclipse Time card in order to murder somebody more easily, Get Certain Item card, etc. I will be opening the Card Thread as soon as season application gets accepted revealing all card types to all players as well as accept player-suggested cards at all times. This is a season for testing all the random mechanics we can think off as a mini-game.
Trials: The game will use normal trials with colored truth system.
『Although you may have heard that saying mean either "let the die be cast" or "the die is now cast", it is up to you to decide which of them your arrival in this Casino means, hehehe.』
