Details: An ancient forest that threatens the established order, and the Eternal Empire is looking for explorers to help seal it away. Shenanigans ensue.
Application: Image, Name, Backstory, Faction,
Setting: In a distant land ancient kingdoms and empires have risen and fallen. Currently, the reigning empire of the land is called the "Eternal Empire". However, it is in danger of falling. The Ancient Clearing has opened, unleashing the horrors that live within. Stories tell that centuries ago when this happened, a brave group of explorers went in and sealed the Ancient Grove by solving the mysteries within. Only 3 of that group survived, each falling to madness soon after. The Empire has sent many exploration groups, and is growing desperate. They have placed an open invitation to all explorers who would join in. It is said that those Twisted Trees contain the remnants of civilizations past, and many factions would seek to gain knowledge that would otherwise be forbidden to further their own causes. Why have you answered the call of The Forest?
Rules: Complete departure from normal MMG rules. Less Murder, more Mystery. Plays 999 or VLR like with each room being connected to the Wildwood. After completing the puzzle in the room players have 3 action to spend in the wildwood down below. An action = moving or investigating something. This will be for each player.
Instead of murder, we will have a blackened system. At the beginning of the game, 1 player will apply as a "Blackened." They originate from The Cursed Woods. Their goal is to not have the woods sealed, and will obtain almost all plot knowledge relevant to The Place of Their Origin. The number of blackened is expected to grow as the game continues. Should the number of blackened ever outnumber the number of players, the Blackened players win at the end of the game.
Extra: Factions but those are just for flavor and character lore and setting building, This setting is going to get used for later stuff, so it's getting set up here.
