A New Type of Game!

Hey everyone!

I've just had an idea for a new type of game which I've started working on, called, "Respect."

The story will be set in a high-school for a period of 14 days until the end of term. During this time you have to try and garner respect, getting in with the cool crowd, and enhancing your reputation.

However, doing so means putting yourself at risk.

If you dress conservatively you aren't going to be bothered by any guys. On the other hand, you aren't going to be seen as cool either.

If you choose to dress in a mini-skirt and belly top though, you'll have a much better chance of getting in with groups like the cheerleaders. But guys may view you as a slut; catcalling, leering, groping, or even worse as you walk by in the corridors.

Not everything will be in the players control. People do stuff that is stupid, and the downfall of role playing games is that players generally know what is best for their character, even if they wouldn't do the same thing in real life. To reflect this, your character will have a mood that changes on a daily basis.

How will mood affect gameplay?

You know that really hot guy that keeps pestering you for a photo of you in your underwear? Well, you're feeling a bit down today, and he's been saying such sweet things to you. Besides! He promised he'd keep the photo just for himself! What could go wrong?

Or maybe you're at a party on the weekend and you're feeling a bit adventurous. Maybe you'll get roped into a game of truth or dare.


I'm writing rules at the minute, and might host a trial game tonight depending on how things look!

Ideas and feedback are always appreciated!
