— Hack Idea: Inception / Psychonauts —

Filed under the ideas that I would love to develop, but probably never will. A ‘Forged in the Dark’ game of a crew of people whose scores involve jumping into the unconscious minds of people and attempting to achieve goals whilst in there (planting information, removing information, helping the person overcome a trauma etc).

The whole Stress/Trauma and flashback mechanics work well in a psychological drama where time is stretchier. The information gathering stage involves researching a person’s psychic landscape (The target loves westerns, so expect a ‘Gunmen of the Apocalypse’ scenario)

Engagement roll determines any nasty surprises in the target’s mind etc.

Put me out my misery. This sounds good, doesn’t it?

  1. My goodness yes. Since watching Legion I’ve been wanting a swinging-psychic spies story. A bit of Psychonauts, a bit of Mind MGMT, a bit of Inception. Perhaps each mental landscape could have it’s own rules or terrain for Attuning?

    I’d illustrate this in a heartbeat.
