[Pillar Talk / Pillar's Game Design Vault] Pandemonium RPG
1Made my own RPG idea long ago, and it's been sitting in the dark for a long time, but I felt like sharing, so enjoy! Bear in mind, Pandemonium is a working title until I can guarantee the use of the name, or something better can be found.
It's cyberpunk as hell because that's what appealed to me back when I was working on it, and it still does even now.
"So, what do the players actually do?" Take on work for the Military or the Corporations or independent organizations for experience, money, gear, and a clue regarding the fate of the world. To that end, they can use their stats, skills, gear, and willpower, or rest and recover to be in a better state of body and mind.
"What's with all the lightning?" The soulstorm. It surrounds the world, occasionally making contact with the material world and bringing new life.
I left out one particular element: Music. There is a single organization in the entire world that is ever allowed to wield the power of music: the Asmodean Bards League. What they are capable of is both mysterious and terrifying.
Also, there's a strange game called DOOMRAID played by the Daemons of Pandemonium as a gambling method, but it's more like a game of Chicken played with dice. I have dice and rules for it.
