Grand Idea Planechase Deck

[TemporalLich]

This deck is directly "inspired" by the Planechase format of MtG. This is a Grand Idea style deck.

This deck is designed to be attached to a Grand Idea-style game such as Grand Idea Mafia or the Deck of Astral Roles. The deck makes Grand Idea even more chaotic. Please wear goggles before using the Planechase Deck.

If you are playing a Planechase game, everyone has this Day ability added to their role card. A 1 ("planeswalk") changes the current plane in effect, and a 6 (Chaos) activates a momentary effect:

Roll Planar Die

Each Day, you may roll 1d6 publically in the game thread and post

ROLL PLANAR DIE

(the text must be set apart from normal text, usually with bold).

This ability may be used regardless of rules against provable randomness.

If a 1 is rolled, reroll the current plane in effect.

If a 6 is rolled, activate the

Chaos

effect of the current plane.

BBCode for rolling 1d6:

Code: Select all

[dice]1d6[/dice]

A Planechase game has a Planar Card in effect. Roll a plane to be in effect before pregame, so the plane is in effect during pregame.

Planes have constant effects that are in effect whenever that plane is in effect, and

Chaos

effects that activate when someone rolls a 6 on the planar die.

Below the line is an example of a plane, though the plane for #0 is intentionally boring as I want it to be the equivalent of a Vanilla roll.

---

Vanilla Plane

This plane has no special effect.

Chaos

: You may roll the planar die an additional time.

[TemporalLich]

Dimension of Hatred

The elimination threshold is reduced by 2, unless it is ELo or Melo.

Chaos

: Your vote weight is doubled for the rest of the Day.

---

This is just something I am floating to see if anyone would actually want to play this or use these ideas to make a more grounded Planechase Deck.

Either way this is a supplement to GIM or DoAR:XU or other Grand-like (Grand Idea Mafia Planechase and Deck of Astral Roles Planechase are valid setups using the Grand Idea Planechase Deck).

Barring unusual roles that allow Planar Die rolls during unusual phases, a

Chaos

effect should only happen during the Day as the Planar Die roll is a Day ability.

[TemporalLich]

Boreal Blue

The votecount is in blue. Votes will only count if the voter has posted at least three posts entirely in a shade of blue, quotes and votes not counting.

Chaos

: You gain a 1-shot planar invention to permanently color someone's name blue on the votecount.

---

The first plane to use the concept of a "planar invention". Planar inventions may be used along with a personal ability.

CHAOS:

Only the number of votes will be displayed on a Vote Count, not the voters.

Does this

Chaos

effect end when the plane is no longer in effect or at the end of the Day? Rolling a 1 on the planar die is a "planeswalk" result, the plane in effect will change.

[TemporalLich]

Timeless Bay

The Day deadline is frozen.

Chaos

: The votecount resets, and votes will not be counted for 8 hours.

[TemporalLich]

Blitz Base

The Day deadline is halved when this plane comes into effect. Whenever a 1 is rolled on the planar die, the Day deadline is doubled to undo this plane's effect.

Plurality voting is in effect.

Chaos

: Whenever you roll a 6 on the planar die, you may act twice the next Night.

---

yeah.

Chaos

effects that serve to augment the plane's normal effect should last as long as the plane is in effect.

[TemporalLich]

Dark Realm

The only Day action allowed is rolling the Planar Die. This even includes "any time" actions during the Day.

While this Plane is in effect, all flips will state that the player has been consumed by the darkness.

Chaos

: You are cloaked in darkness. You will be roleblocked the next Night, and will receive frightening visions of a random night action targeting you the Night after (if you weren't targeted the Night after, you will receive frightening visions of demons).

[TemporalLich]

Checkerboard Palace

All active roles act like Checkers (You may check a player. You will be informed of whether your check attempt on that player succeeded or not.) in addition to their actual roles.

Chaos

: You gain a 1-shot Role Cop (You may learn a player's role.) planar invention.

---

The planar die hasn't been playtested yet. The planar die is a d6 because that's the one used in the MtG format, it might be worth bumping up to a d8 or d10 if 1's and Chaos are rolled too much. I am thinking 1d8 is better for this game (where 8 is

Chaos

) but I want to see 1d6 playtested first.

[TemporalLich]

Mafia Stronghold

The Mafia have an extra factional nightkill.

Chaos

: The Mafia have another factional nightkill the next Night, though you are protected from all kills the next Night.

[TemporalLich]

Werewolf Glade

The Werewolves have an extra factional nightkill.

Chaos

: The Werewolves have another factional nightkill the next Night, though you are protected from all kills the next Night.

[TemporalLich]

Dimension One

This plane has no special effect.

Chaos

: Nothing happens.

---

A plane that's even more Vanilla than the Vanilla Plane.

[TemporalLich]

Plane of Law

Nothing may affect how voting works. Factional nightkills are the only nightkills that will succeed. Anyone who has ever rolled Chaos may not act.

Chaos

: You are Vanillaized. That is, your role is changed to Vanilla, making you lose your abilities.

[TemporalLich]

Complex Plane

After each cycle, the cycle number is adjusted by i instead of 1 (e.g. the cycle after Cycle 1 is Cycle 1 + i).

Chaos

: Multiply the pending cycle adjustment by i (i^2 = -1. i^3 = -i, i^4 = 1, i^5 = i, and so on).

[TemporalLich]

Plane of the Second Amendment

Everyone who is considered to have a gun according to a Gunsmith has a 20% chance to attempt to kill anyone attempting to kill them.

Groupscum who aren't Doctors or Traitors have guns, as well as these roles: Cop-likes, anything with "Cop" in the name, Neapolitan, Gunsmith, Detective, Vigilante, Paranoid Gun Owner, Vengeful, JOATs with one of these powers, Inventors with one of these powers, anyone holding an invention with one of these powers.

Chaos

: You gain a 1-shot Strong-Willed Vigilante planar invention (You may attempt to kill a player. This action can't be blocked, redirected or interfered with in any way.).

[TemporalLich]

Plane of Hubris

A random player's vote weight is tripled. Whoever is being affected by this plane will be confirmed by the moderator.

Chaos

: You will learn the affected player's alignment.

[TemporalLich]

Plane of Slow Speech

The deadline is reduced by 1 hour for every new page. For a Blitz game, the reduction is instead 30 minutes. For a Marathon, this plane has no effect.

Chaos

: The moderator announces that everyone is post-restricted to not double post and have posts of less than 200 characters. Anyone breaking the post restriction will have their vote weight zeroed. This is in effect while this plane is in effect. If Chaos is activated multiple times while this plane is in effect, the character limit is halved each time.

[TemporalLich]

Plane of Cities

Randomly split all alive players into two City PTs (temporarily neighborhoods). The two City PTs are locked when this plane is no longer in effect.

Chaos

: You gain a 1-shot Neighborizer planar invention (You may add someone to your neighborhood).

[TemporalLich]

Plane of Distortion

Each player has a 50% chance to become Hated for the duration of this plane.

All actions have a 20% chance to be randomly redirected.

Investigative roles no longer know who they actually investigated.

Chaos

: Iterate the 50% Hated effect again (players who are Hated more than once take more than one less vote to eliminate), and add a 20% chance for all actions to be randomly redirected the next Night.

[TemporalLich]

Mysterious Plane

Everyone is charged with a mysterious energy while this plane is in effect.

Chaos

: You keep your mysterious energy charge after this plane stops being in effect, and you gain a random 1-shot planar invention.

[TemporalLich]

Orderly Plane

This is not a plane, this is a Planar Modifier. Planar Modifiers should be rerolled and appended to the next rolled Plane.

The first time Chaos is rolled on this plane, Chaos does nothing.

[TemporalLich]

Shielded Plane

This is not a plane, this is a Planar Modifier. Planar Modifiers should be rerolled and appended to the next rolled Plane.

The first time "planeswalk" is rolled on this plane, the plane remains in effect.

[TemporalLich]

Vanilla Plane

This plane has no special effect.

Chaos

: You may roll the planar die an additional time.

[TemporalLich]

Familiar Plane

When "planeswalk" is rolled, the mod posts a message of their discretion.

Chaos

: Randomly charge someone with a mysterious energy.

[TemporalLich]

Planar Destabilizer

This is not a plane, this is a Phenomenon. Phenomenons should have their effect applied and then rerolled. Players may not roll the planar die while on a Phenomenon.

The Planar Die permanently loses a side. For example, if the Planar Die was a d6, it will now be a d5. The Planar Die may never have less sides than a d2.

A 1 on a dN Planar Die is "planeswalk" and an N on a dN Planar Die is "chaos".

[TemporalLich]

Planar Stabilizer

This is not a plane, this is a Phenomenon. Phenomenons should have their effect applied and then rerolled. Players may not roll the planar die while on a Phenomenon.

The Planar Die permanently gains a side. For example, if the Planar Die was a d6, it will now be a d7. The Planar Die may never have more sides than a d100.

A 1 on a dN Planar Die is "planeswalk" and an N on a dN Planar Die is "chaos".

[TemporalLich]

Bottled Chaos

This is not a plane, this is a Planar Modifier. Planar Modifiers should be rerolled and appended to the next rolled Plane.

The plane's

Chaos

effect is changed to "You gain a 1-shot planar invention to activate the plane's

Chaos

effect during the Day."

If you have a Bottled Chaos invention and planeswalk is rolled, the invention doesn't change.

[TemporalLich]

Plane of The Secret Word

A secret word is chosen by the moderator when this plane becomes in effect. Anyone who posts the secret word will gain a random planar invention and may add one mana of any color to their mana pool. This effect will only happen once per player per time this plane is in effect.

Chaos

: You are informed of the secret word.

[TemporalLich]

Chaotic Experience

If anyone posts the word "chaos" in the game thread, a random or moderator discretion

Chaos

effect activates. This effect will only happen once per player per time this plane is in effect.

Chaos

: If

Chaos

is rolled the first time this plane is in effect, no effect.

Otherwise, the multiverse collapses. The Planechase Deck permanently stops being used in this game, no more planes can be in effect, the Planar Die becomes unusable, and the moderator may apply an additional effect as a result of the multiversal collapse.

[TemporalLich]

Chaotic Aether

This is not a plane, this is a Planar Modifier. Planar Modifiers should be rerolled and appended to the next rolled Plane.

All Planar Die rolls other than 1 are

Chaos

.

[TemporalLich]

Mirrored Depths

All actions have a 50% chance to fail.

Chaos

: You gain a Day Motivator (During the Day, you may target a player to allow them to act twice the next Night.) planar invention. This plane's effect doesn't apply to this planar invention.

---

I tried to actually put a Planechase plane into Grand Idea Planechase Deck terms...

I guess this works?

[TemporalLich]

Mana Pool

Everyone adds one mana of any color to their mana pool.

Chaos

: You gain a Sol Ring artifact, allowing you to add two colorless mana to your mana pool.

Mana can be used to roll the Planar Die more than once in the Day. Rolling the Planar Die extra times requires 1 mana for each extra time you rolled the Planar Die this Day. For example, the second Planar Die roll requires 1 mana.

Artifacts are items that can be used multiple times.

[TemporalLich]

Plane of Artifacts

This plane has at least five artifacts. Anyone rolling "planeswalk" or

Chaos

may take one of the listed artifacts, but each artifact may only be taken once.

Artifact list:

Enchanted Fae Bauble - A mysterious artifact of the fae world.
Sol Ring - You may add two colorless mana to your mana pool.
Planar Memories - When you roll the planar die, you may elect to use the

Chaos

effect of the previous plane.
Coin of Knowledge - You may receive a random piece of information privately 50% of the time. The other 50% of the time, you will receive "You lost the coin flip." instead.
Mysterious Star Generator - If you become charged with a mysterious energy, you will gain a star counter (☆).

Any additional artifacts are at moderator discretion.
