We want you


a lrp project about losing aspects of your soul

(WIP)
What are YOU - You are made of all your Memories and parts of your Personality.

We want YOU is a LRP (Live Role-Play) about betting parts of your soul to get out of debt. Bet memories and personality traits in high stakes games of poker, those who win any game will get their personal debts erased by the esteemed Von Goethe family.

The game is set within the world of Envy. A city that has no entrance or exit, where people do not need to eat, drink, or sleep and only die when their sense of self ceases to be (aka You). The Von Goethe family have found a way to transfer parts of you into objects, they are choosing to test this technology in the form of poker chips for a night of gambling. Every character will have a reason to gamble part of themself away, even the dealers and Von Goethe's themselves.

We want You will have pre-written characters from a variety of backgrounds, with connections to other characters, and secrets to reveal. All character sheets will be available to view by all players to make playing on these connections and secrets easier. We hope to achieve a game with a focus on the personal horror of change and losing yourself.

Bet things that are:
X Valuable to you/ others
X The parts of you you want rid of
X Baiting others into betting things/ memories you want to have yourself/ want them not to have

Potential Buy-ins - Negative Traits, Positive Traits, Formative Memories, Other Player's Choice, Dealer's Choice, Loved ones Memories/ Feelings

Schedule Idea
X Welcome Speech ---> Raffle Start (Big)---> First games buy in + player number announced ---> Mingle (see others, figure out what to bet, if this is the game for you)
X Game 1 Set ---> Mingle time (New normal as people have changed)(short) ---> Announce Game 2 buy in + player number ---> Mingle (again, do you play)
X Game 2 Set --> Mingle time (New normal as people have changed)(short) ---> Announce Game 3 buy in + player number ---> Mingle (do you play. last chance.)
X Game 3 Set --> Mingle time (New normal as people have changed)(long) ---> Announce Raffle Winner ---> Short break
X Ending Speech ---> Raffle Winners Choice

The 3 games will be set players and set buy ins, 5 rounds of poker. The Raffle will be a small buy in with the prize being not only debt forgiveness for winning a game but their choice for any bit of You they desire from any other guest. Family and Dealers included.

Who plays in the sets will be decided by the sets dealer. Between the Buy-in announcement and the sets start, players can go up to the dealer and put in their buy-in bid. They may change this bid at any time before the dealer announces who is playing the set. The dealer may not chose anyone who has not offered a buy-in.

Group Ideas - Dealers and Family (might be the same group) - Forced Entry (Debts too high to refuse) - Thrill Seekers (Old Envy) - Social Climbers (Need the attention brought from this) - Destruction (Any way out of Envy is a good one.)

3/4 People per group - They will have
X A Backstory including why they are here for the night, what they will lose if they can't get their debt cleared
X Connections to each other in the group, 2 from other groups (Opinion on, How they know each other, 1 thing they want)
X 3 Core Memories to give, 2 Positive traits, 1 Negative trait.
X What they want/ Value in others generally and not just connections.
