WEIRD SCIENCE!
The basic concept for this idea is pretty much a straight-forward, modern day adaptation of both the movie and TV series "Weird Science".
I would move the action from a HS setting to a college campus, but the rest of the basic ideas remain the same. A socially unadjusted and awkward individual uses his computer to create a virtual woman. Something goes wrong - or right - which turns her from a computer simulation into a real woman, who possesses magical powers to boot.
A few specific points of interest for anyone who thinks about applying for the role of the male computer geek:
- I see this as a fairly modestly paced roleplay. I already have several active games, so I see this as no more than a 2-3 posts a week thing.
- I do not want this to turn into a series of sexual trysts between the guy and the virtual girl. It can start out that way - he is after a sex-starved student and she is a ridiculously hot woman - but the plot should quickly turn towards the magical aspect: what wishes will he make and how will they work out?
- I play on starting this out a one-on-one thing. If it works well, then perhaps we invite in another player who can portray a friend of the main protagonist who is in on the secret.
