So we have a couple of RPs ongoing on the forum, and a few games here and there (like Sanderson Elimination. You should join us >>), but what games would you like to see? Be it card, board or computer game, what settings and rules would you want to play in one of the Shardworlds? I've had two computer game ideas that I really wish were things, myself: Firstly, a generational game in which you (as the current head of your House) lead your House in Scadrial right from the beginning of The Lord Ruler's ascent up to the events of The Final Empire. I'd particularly like this because it would give us so much more information on the early empire, and we could first-hand see events such as TLR's burning, the creation of the Contract, the subjugation of all the other cultures around TLR's budding empire, and stuff like that. I think it'd also have the potential to be a brilliant multiplayer game, as the amount of backstabbing in the lore would pale in comparison to when friends are involved . Alternatively, it could be done as some kind of Dominion-style card game, developing your House after turns with added Mistings or Mistborn or the like. This would be very different from the former incarnation, since it wouldn't have a narrative behind it, but it would be good for quick games with betrayal. The setting also lends itself to a more interactive set of rules than Dominion, which can sometimes be basically solitare in multiplayer, trying to compete to just be first to achieve a point score. The other idea I would really like to see is a Mount and Blade-style game set on Roshar, preferably before or during the Alethi war of unification. Over the course of the game, you would travel Alethkar's nine Princedoms, raise armies, win renown and eventually work your way up to owning a slice of Alethkar for yourself, and winning Shards and the like. All this set in the backdrop of the war, allowing you to help determine the outcome. I just love the idea of developing yourself up to being a Shardbearer, or perhaps even becoming a Highprince. Not only that, but there would be so much replay value, with whether you are male or female (and thus a potential pariah in the eyes of Vorinism) or a Dark or Lighteyes. So what sort of stuff would you like to see?
