Characters wake up in a haunted world, to see a giant road train waiting for them. Characters also discover they’ve been changed, with monster traits that slowly activate and force changes on them. Their best hope for getting home and turning back to normal is traveling along the roads and reaching a place called “Nirvana.”
For the record, I asked already; if anyone else wants to try a Transformer here, yes they’re allowed, no they are not forced to be humanized, and yes they can transform into literal monster trucks
Like, the Sigils to Atma parallels are pretty obvious, but the Husks are pretty blatantly inspired by Cuvier Syndrome. They just also spit out monsters.
Oh yes, that's where it does get a little tricky. Generally I'm thinking of stuff like cars, motorcycles, robo-horses, etc, but... I would be willing to hear out other ideas on a case by case basis.
I don't play in games, but I wanted to pop in and say I am tickled pink to see a game based on Wolf's Rain. An anime close to my heart and one a lot of people don't know.
Convoy had an appreciable play count, though- Oh right! Right! I did make a "all the songs that weren't from an anime or video game OST" playlist I can link!
Shepard-Cmdr
: it was a lot of vibes, mainly. Broken down world that has seen better days? check. Journeying across said world towards a place that may or may not exist? check. WEREWOLVES? CHECK.
I saw 'inspired by DDS' and my interest was piqued immensely. Count me in for this! (i have no idea who I could app for this, but I will...figure something out!)
oh cosmo, one of my friends joked that texas and blake should be friends bc unfortunately texas is that similar, so cant wait for them to bond over their gfs since she has a crush on her best friend if u go with her LMFAO
monstertruckers
: mwahaha NICE (sorry, am on vacation so in and out) 👍 having wheels is a good baseline! I’m just having fun imagining things cybertrucks that mysteriously actually function (or don’t!) (but everyone makes fun of either way) Super vintage motorcycle Anything on this list
also I KNOW there is at least one (solo?) ttrpg if not two this reminds me of and it will haunt me until I figure it out but that’s just me thinking out loud
awesome, thank you mods! I saw that it said one reserve per app round, but didn't see anything about app limits. (I will personally throw my hat into the ring in hoping for being able to app 2 at a time )
it's my time at last, hermy. I've known playing Yang someday was inevitable. and now the time has come. cause I can give her a sick classic muscle car.
Viktor from Arcane is the guy trying to salvage the cybertruck and actually make it run well- how did they mess it up this badly?? he could do so much better, hand him a wrench

: Okay, now that I'm finally at a computer, can give a verdict. Since we have a cap of two characters per player, we've decided on one character per app round. This is also to make the opening app round that little bit easier. This said, we may bump this up at some point in the future!
Also, WOW AND HOLY CARP. Just past our first 24 hours with 73 replurks and 32 likes! Thank you so much everybody for the interest and signal boosts! We will do our best to deliver, in return!
faye
: My apologies for the plurk ping, but same here! There are a few solo ttrpgs this concept reminds me of as well, but I can't put names to them right now - the only one I do remember more clearly is a solo ttrpg where you're a trucker and you drive in an apocalypse, but I can't remember the name.
So my character gets a car? Your character does indeed get a new vehicle: it may take the form of a car, motorcycle, or similar machine. Mechanical horses are also an option. You can read more details in the Vehicles and Convoy section of the FAQ, found below.
Most likely this goober from Persona 3 Reload

It's a nice enough car, but yeah it doesn't quite scream Optimus Prime, does it.
