    So, I've got another plot bunny.

    The setting is as follows:
    In some generic fantasy world, a pantheon of gods (players) gathered to play a... tycoon game - something similar to "Millionaire" board game. But they use real heroes instead of game pieces.
    So, each god chooses a hero/team of adventures/a tourist with six-legged baggage - as his champion/s and a target for them. Then he/she throws dice to see what the champion/s got themselves into.
    1-raiding a treasure room
    2-accidentally meeting a dragoon unarmed
    3-robbed naked
    4-seduce a powerful vampires
    ...etc.
    Then the god/ess throws dice for an outcome of this meeting. The champion might gain something (ally powerful weapon, lover, kingdom, etc.) or lose something (hand, money, ally, life.). Of course, god/ess might decide to sacrifice one of the champions advantages (powerful weapon, ally, lover) to save him/her/them.
    Then the god/ess describes the entire scene.
    Then comes the next round.
    The death/enslavement/incapacitation of champion/s means a loose. The first champion/s to achieve his/her/their target means a victory for their patron.

    What do you think?

    It's a concept, so it's raw.

    Are there rules to who one can choose as a champion? For example, can you choose someone else's champion as your champion too?
