Just gauging interest for a coop game inspired by Plank's short lived but interesting spy game and my recent obsession with the tv show Longmire. My idea is to have players fill the role of sheriff deputies tasked with solving crimes in a fictional county in Wyoming. Each turn, the players will be faced with a major crime that needs to be solved. Succeed and your department will become among the most prestigious in the nation, fail and become a disgraced office of inept cops... or you could always be corrupt and frame suspects to help ensure convictions.

Every four turns there will be an election for the coveted position of Sheriff, the top cop that delegates orders to those below him, with positions available for Lieutenant Deputy and Sargent Deputies. Those active ICers given a leg up in any possible bid for Sheriff.

As far as setting goes, my idea is largely inspired by Longmire. We will have a largely rural county in Wyoming with unrest between the Cheyenne and Walker County as the county struggles to modernize in the twenty-first century, while ailing from corruption, drug abuse, and homicides.

Players can steer the department to confront these challenges with sensitivity or a firm hand, embracing corporate interests or pursuing an agenda all your own.

That's my idea in a nutshell, anyway. At the heart of the game is solving crimes, but how you do it will effect your department's image, and effect the county as a whole.

Interested? Have thoughts and ideas? I'd love to hear them.

Yes please.
 
I appreciate the feedback, but seems there isn't enough interest to launch the game. I'll put this one on the back burner for now and try again in the future, as I do think it would be a fun game to run and play. For now I will be moving forward with another project I had in mind. Expect a thread up soon.
