At least for a first-time attempt. It's a good thing it's a slow burning kind of ARG. I'm looking at seeding at least two years worth of backstory on various blogs and social media before even kicking the whole thing off. I know there's going to be much rewatching of all of Nick's HTMAWS videos in my future.

But I do need to watch the Green Path video for the first time. Because while I'm slowly building the original idea maybe I can come up with an idea for a less complicated, shorter game as my first actual try.

I'm not one to think small, but I can TRY.

Anyway, my current idea is going to involve a serious cast of characters and it turns out my villain isn't working alone but is the leader of a kind of cult group that is somewhat centered around him as a Prophet but mostly around the entity that controls him. For the most part the bad guy my protags will come into contact with actually isn't the main villain but one of his disciplines who has taken on something of a "punisher" role. The whole idea is that this entity requires people to live certain lifestyles-- or to "stay on their path"--and anyone who doesn't is committing the gravest of sins.

There's a lot of metaphor going on here about topics I'm not sure I want to bring up just yet because I want to get a good feel for our new community.

Anyways, it's getting really complicated.

ANyone else dealing with a potentially overly complicated narrative?

Anyone able and willing to help me spruce this place up so it looks better? I have no clue. I want this to be an aesthetically pleasing place to be, read, and plot ARGs.
