I'd like to see something which explores the post-adventure celebrity. You've come back as a group from some grand adventure which has made you fame but not fortune. Now you're having to adjust to this famed lifestyle as a group.
Being summoned by nobility to lend your new found popularity and imagined coin.
Getting mobbed by people wherever you go.
Trying to continue making a living as adventurers when everyone recognises you and gets in the way.
Could be interesting
To add, this is because a typical evil character isn't . They're someone who has a major difference in perspective from yourself doing the best they can with the baggage of the choices and situations they've been dealt. You see this in the cultures on either sides of wars. They're invaders, we're liberators, etc.
A good evil play through doesn't start with the party having any idea of the evil they're unleashing. It's only after they've made every good and self-justified decision they can where you hand them the mirror and break their self-image allowing them to lean into it if they want to.
If you want to try this out for yourself so you can see how it works, go play some Rimworld until you have a lived-in colony. (1yr+)
I wonder if you could replace Postgres with CockroachDB in this instance to scale out.
What is Pict-rs?
You know, I was half expecting people to troll and suggest something like "Made in Abyss".
