I have had an idea for quite some time, and recently saw a Tik Toc video that made it "come to life"
To put it simply,
act zero, scene one (the shared back story of the party)
the villains are defeated by the heroes.
act zero, scene two (the shared back story of the party)
The villains curse the hero and the entire world so that they will return in 100 years and tear down everything the heroes built.
act zero, scene three (the shared back story of the party)
the heroes becomes paranoid and controlling, doing everything they can to break the curse...they fail to break the curse. they try to do everything to prevent the return of the villains.
opening of act one, scene one
the world is under the tyrannical rule of the ex-heroes. the villains return and begin to tear down everything the heroes built. but the villains are forced into the role of "acting like a hero" because that is what is required to tear down the things the ex-heroes have built.
players will be asked to build a member of a "villain team" and work with the Gm to find that one thing that is over the top and absolutely crazy over powered.
- a form of regeneration that functionally makes you immortal.
- a titan blooded halfling that runs around with an anime inspired gargantuan war hammer
- etc
have i gone off the deep end and lost your interest?
