IC: Project Dreamland (Pulp/Conspiracy/Experimental)
Project Dreamland is an experimental RPG in which the players play a group of investigators trying to unravel the true nature of Project Dreamland, a mysterious world-spanning grand conspiracy.
What makes this game somewhat unique is that at the beginning of the game no one, include the GM, knows what the conspiracy is, and instead it is slowly pieced together by following rumors generated by the players themselves (the players, not the characters)
The game has a very strict scene structure and elaborate mechanics for generating and resolving an escalating series of rumors, and determining which ones are true, which are false, a red-herring or even a trap, and how it all ties together in the end into a more or less coherent story. So while the the players have some sort of narrative control, they are still left in the dark regarding the "truth"
The setting itself is also quite flexible, and it can be modern/supernatural/aliens, historical, or even fantasy or futuristic.
I think the game would lend itself well to an online format with some small modifications.
* As far as I know this game is not available in English so if I run this game I will present the relevant rules and give instructions as needed.
If anyone is interesting in trying such a game, or have questions about the game itself, let me know. It will need 3-5 involved players.
