Voyage of the Starship Edenia (Hoping for Big Group other details vary)

[steelsmiter]

I'm posting this here, because on my other thread, potential players have declared interest in the other systems, so I don't want to muddy the waters. I've come up with an idea for a game that borrows on ideas I've had in the past. In a previous game I came up with a concept where an alien space ship ended up in orbit around a planet they called Nod after a cloaked jump caused a warp drive malfunction (I'm not sure if those are the correct terms). The crew investigates the planet and the whole thing turns out to be an alternate origin story for Earth. I'm spoiling that story because I'm NOT using it.

OK... What are you using?
This game primarily takes place on a Generation Ship for which I steal the name The Edenia from that previous game. For this game, the system we will use is Visual Novel World:

Visual Novel World (5+ players ideally, the more the better)- A game with the same engine that Apocalypse World uses, modified for use in playing the girls trying to get senpai in visual novels.

Many years after a Tentacle Monster Apocalypse in which the world gradually declined into the 2050s when they figured out how to use teleportation magic in conjunction with advanced rocketry, What little safe havens humanity had left (Mostly heavily protected government/military bases) set about creating a Generation Ship. Because even with teleportation, they'll need astrophysical calculations to coordinate the teleportation, engineers to create safe landing zones, mages to attune the place, and... well... just about anyone mission critical to keep society going.

That was 500 years ago or so (although I may reduce the length of time the ship has been disembarked to account for 5 or fewer generations as noted on the chart linked below for familial relations). There were hundreds of families. Now who knows how many there are, but one family has just came out of Cryo aboard a mostly automated ship. They're several months to a year out from their destination, and they believe they're all humanity has left... but they're all family.

Intended Content
M/F Incest

Optional Content
Blackmail and/or Corruption- The Computer lies about statistical possibility of survival without incest, possibly coercing it through threats involving video footage.
NC- If players want it between characters
Hostile Entities on the LZ- which mostly implies combat after the ship lands, but could also imply further NC xenophilia, and/or bestiality depending on sentience, but I'm not sure if the unintelligent alien fauna counts as bestiality. I'm not gunning for this one, I'll leave it up to a consensus.

Cast Members
Mom
Dad
3 children, two of one gender, one of the other
Aunt(s)
Uncle(s)
Cousins (no further than 3rd cousin on this chart)

The Ship AI-Played by me, steelsmiter, which is the primary "GMing" mechanism. It may be considered Senpai or a source of Corruption which would alter the usual Relationship Level and make the ship try to get characters to act on the average RL of the group

Originally the game had players picking senpai, but as I ran through different iterative changes I realized Senpai wasn't strictly necessary if it's a concept like "the universe", which honestly probably makes harem games easier to run. <snip> if an outside force is influencing character actions (prodding them to have certain invasive thoughts, and having them Avoid Danger to resist the influence of those thoughts) then what sort of actions it wants from them would be based on how much feedback it got. So for example, if a character is Relationship Level 3, they might react a certain way, by default, but if the force's desires manifest based on the total Relationship levels and a character is Relationship Level 8 and four other players are RL 1, their total levels are 8+3+1+1+1+1=15, or an average of 2.5, so the ship might coerce characters into taking RL 3 actions.)

Bonds
This is a thing PBtA games need to sort out. I've thought about it, and character bonds for this game are the better of Smarts x2 or Hot+1 ('cause rocketry).

Dice Roller
I don't personally like using E's dice roller, but I won't stop anyone from using it. Since you're already likely gonna be on my discord for character creation, may as well use my dice roller channel. IF I GET ENOUGH PLAYERS, THIS GAME WILL BE PLAYED HERE.

Flag! Happy for the xenophilia, since it's such a common space erotica angle anyway.

How will your playbooks work? I remember from an early early version that a number of them played on large amounts of flunkies which aren't really going to exist here

Or are they going to be disloyal robots who only obey if you fondle the opposite gender first.

Well it's listed as optional because I'm not sure how long it will be before

Well, the Idol doesn't outright work, but the Sukeban might. I'd have to look over it to refresh since I've written a few whole games since then. You'd still pick three archetypes

Or are they going to be disloyal robots who only obey if you fondle the opposite gender first.

disloyal could be a tag, but they could also be nameless relatives to fit the theme of relations (and still allow for the computer to try to run the incest con on the ship's crew). I'm not barring any LGBTQ+ content I just want enough players that the opposite genitals can match up, and I'm running the ship as some variation on Meganekko(VNW core)/Unwitting Protagonist(The Metagame I think) so it can provide content tags.

Thanks! I hope we get more interest. I've started prompting the AI for character images.
