Where should I put this Quest?

Maps are interesting. MMORPGs are also interesting. I recently started playing Runescape again, and was intrigued with how the world map had changed since I last played.

That’s what brought this game together. I’ve always wanted to make a map game, but a map game where you are fleshing out an MMO’s map sounds a lot more my style. A lot of the inspiration for this will come from Runescape, but I also have to shout out The Old Republic, Final Fantasy XIV, Maplestory, AdventureQuest, and countless other MMORPGs I’ve played in my life.

-Concept: You (And your friends, if you want) will spend rounds adding certain details or features to a world map of a Massively Multi-Player Online Role-Playing Game, or MMORPG. There are different roles that each player will take on one at a time, which rotate around so everyone gets a chance to play each role. At the end of it, you will have a shared world map and guidebook full of locations, quests, skills, NPCs, details, and encounters.

After a few rounds of this, you move into PART TWO of the game, which involves you, the players, pretending to be people getting back into the MMORPG you just created. You’ll be players returning to the game after having last played ages ago.

-Materials: writing utensils, paper, poker chips/tokens, sheets included later.

Notes on the files:

Rulebook is the rules of the game, and some of the handouts are present there

Handouts are the documents you will give the players to reference

Sheets and Forms are blank tables that you fill in over the course of the game, and they are available as a PDF or a Word Document to allow printing and writing or just filling in online.

The title of this game is meant to be inspired by city building games like:

https://seaexcursion.itch.io/street-magic - i'm sorry did you say street magic

https://aaronsxl.itch.io/yccnafs - your cool city needs a food supply
