As per my discussion with ace over FB, and the interest shown by some of the older members of the animax family, I hereby present my idea (mostly unformed as of now, I'm only presenting a rough sketch to gauge the feasibility) of a serious RPG.
I know, it's cliched and nothing original, but I thought it would make for an interesting RPG. Your thoughts please....?
A group of online buddies seemingly unknown to each other in personal life decide to build a community on the net, a private gathering place to hang out and have fun. After a few months, they decide to have an offline meeting, to know each other better. Things were looking bright, until one of the members was mysteriously found dead during the gathering. The police, passing it on as a mere accident, chose to let things slide. The offline meeting ends without further incidents and they part ways, but still continue to persist with the online community.
Few months pass, then starts the fatal chain of incidents. One by one, the community members start turning up dead in their homes. The police are left baffled. Isolated, they seem like freak accidents. But when put together, they form the destructive trail of a psychotic serial killer. Now, their numbers dwindling, the community members decide to gather forces and put up one last front. What they don't know is they are about to discover the dark past that binds them together. And this killer may turn out to be closer to them than they think, hell bent on justice and revenge.
