So, Monte Cook released a stand alone adventure for their Cypher System called 'Assault on Singularity Base' (http://www.drivethrurpg.com/product/202739/Assault-on-Singularity-Base) where the players are a team of rebels trying to take down the base of the Empress. Pretty standard so far, don't know where the inspiration came from. :smallwink:
However, there's a twist. Your group of PCs are just 1 of 6 teams who are all hitting the base simultaneously, each contributing to the overall success of the mission. The idea is that you can run the adventure with 6 different groups of PCs, or even have multiple GMs run it with their own tables, pooling the results. I haven't tried it yet, but it sounds like a cool idea.
What I want to know, is has anyone tried Multi-group games like this before? Like, a campaign where in another part of the world a different group of heroes is holding off the armies of darkness while your group tries to drop the Locket of power into Frost Mountain, but at the same time anothe group is dealing with politics in a different kingdom to gather support.
Maybe not so varied, but I thought it could be a cool idea. Some of my friends and I here on the forum are planning to do a shared campaign world using Masks, but it's more like seperate comics in a shared universe, than everyone has the same final goal.
Thoughts? How has your success been in this area?
