Here's an idea I've had for a while. I have a thing or two in this vein already, but was hoping to start another.

The setting is a fantasy world. Magic, elves, dwarves, the works, with plenty of room for world building. YC, as the title says, is an unfortunate adventurer, setting out on a quest to travel through it.

I have a powerful craving for a particular twist on this idea, where I play a GM style character within the fiction. Someone who is throwing challenges at YC for whatever reason, who YC may or may not be able to directly interact with. Potential characters include a master training his apprentice, a literal GM controlling YC's adventure in video game or setting which they magically control through other means, or even a spirit of misfortune who haunts your character, able to speak with them and create challenges, but not interact directly.

Potential Premises:
YC is an adventurer who has just started a new quest
After a life changing event, YC is forced to pick up a sword and get out in the world
YC is someone from the real world who has been transported by magic into a high fantasy setting
YC is a tester for the latest fully immersive VR MMO, who ends up trapped in the game at the mercy of the developer

I'm currently seeking someone to play a female character, but am happy to play with players of any gender. I typically do posts in the 500-1000 word range, and am hoping for a partner who can do the same.

The plot can be what we'd like, whether it's full of fantasy politics and intrigue, or a more traditional quest for a magical artifact, but what's of more interest to me is the journey. Specifically, the part of the journey that goes poorly for YC. Because when they do, there's no game over and no fade to black, YC has to deal with the consequences. Whether that's becoming to plaything of a barbarian horde, or being left at the mercy of a tentacle monster, or being trapped by a Dwarven sex machine, YC must endure, and eventually find a way to escape their predicament. Things will never be fatal, and won't cause any irreversible damage, but I'm very up for negotiation so long as it doesn't involve my Offs.

I'm open to doing this as a system game, but I'd prefer a simplified one that would add an element of challenge and unpredictability without getting too bogged down in mechanics.

I'll probably edit this later with more potential ideas, but I think this gets the idea across. PM me if you're interested.
