Howdy everyone, I have been mulling over the idea of putting out an Evil Genius style game for the pleasure of the forums, but first I'd like to gauge whether there is any actual interest in it.
The game would be rather simple, and very over-the-top. Each player would play as their own 'Evil Genius' whom is seeking to take over the world via whatever means they think is appropiate. Science and the laws of nature are free to be twisted, ridiculious machines can be built, and outrageous doomsday plans can be hatched. Want to take over the United States of America by building a giant robo-Lincoln? No problem. Japan irritating you? Level Tokyo with your own Godzilla-like monster!
As you can expect, the game will be corny, perhaps painfully so.
While I am still hammering out the ideas of how the game would work (with stats and all of that) there would be three main things for you to concern yourselves with:
Minions: This is the number of devoted lackies you have underneath you. Their personality is up to you, heck they don't even need to be human, so feel free to customize your minions to your heart's content.
Infamy: How respected you are in the criminal underworld, and how feared you are by the forces of justice.
Henchmen: These would be your heavy-hitters. Everyone would start with one henchman, who would be your right-hand man/woman/hypnotized-bear-in-a-suit. Like the minions, customize them away. Just remember, these guys are hard to get, so don't lump them in the same category as your expendable minions.
The game would be set in the 1960's/70's, so the Cold War is alive and well.
So, whaddya all say? Interesting? Boring? Meh?
