Premise

PREMISE

One day you're approached by a young queen. Her eyes, studying you with intrigue, seem to reflect countless galaxies. Resting atop her pretty head is a simple, yet classic, crown.

This queen asks you: is there something out there that you want so much that you'd do nearly anything for? Something you've only dreamt of, a past mistake you wish to undo, anyone you wish you could have saved, wealth and riches you could never achieve in your lifetime—something you want more than anything?

Because she'll give it to you—should you help her kingdom.

She goes on: one hundred years ago a magical cataclysm transformed the land underneath her kingdom into a massive series of labyrinths; nobody from this world has been capable of entering or destroying any of the labyrinths, leaving nothing to be done about them. At the time of their creation the labyrinths hadn't posed an immediate threat, but over time parts of the kingdom's land have become claimed by the labyrinths, causing irregularly occurring anomalies and a depletion of all unique resources. Something needs to be done before it's too late to help.

As queen, she has decided to hand-pick her own exemplary crew consisting of beings from other worlds so they can explore and clear the labyrinths. These explorers will not only save her kingdom, but in the end be rewarded with a prize only a celestial being such as herself could promise.

It's your help that this queen wants—no, needs—more than anything.


THE GAME

KINGDOM♔DAZE is a panfandom commentspam game where characters are asked to come to this nameless kingdom and help by exploring and eradicating the many eccentric labyrinths. With each labyrinth explored is a piece of the kingdom that's released, recovered, or renewed... some of it a bit more familiar than character's might expect. Not only will characters help save the kingdom (eventually earning whatever they want in compensation), they'll come to understand why and how this magical cataclysm took place and caused all these gosh darn labyrinths beneath this particular kingdom.

The game's inspiration draws from a quirky Japanese TRPG known as Meikyuu Kingdom ("Labyrinth Kingdom"). However, despite being inspired by a TRPG, Kingdom♔Daze is still a DWRP where dice/classes/stats/etc are not utilized in standard gameplay. Labyrinths—which are essentially activities, games, exploradoras, events, etc—can involve a variety of challenges and require a spectrum of skills (or little to no actual skill at all) making this so-called exploration accessible to just about any character.

★ For a quick and dirty overview of the game as a whole, see this page!

DISCLAIMER: While there's quite a bit about Kingdom♔Daze that's tongue-in-cheek, there will be be the occasional dark element popping up from time to time, such as death, violence, trauma, etc. Most of it will occur within labyrinths, but sometimes it'll happening in the kingdom itself (especially since monsters do come out at night!) However, such things will ALWAYS be warned for in advance—you will never trudge your character through a death trap without being made aware.
