DIE: MUGEN (I Go Infinite)

About the adventure

In another time, in another reality, the Trading Card Game (TCG), "MUGEN: Infinities" was the number one played card game. In MUGEN: Infinities, you play Tacticians who fuels magical energy into cards used to summon powerful spells, equipment, and even entities known as Eidolons. The selling point of the TCG was that it allowed multiple IPs, from multiple companies to crossover into one conglomerate universe. This resulted into being one of the most popular games played, resulting in anime series, novels, movies, and VERY works of dubious fanfictions and artwork. Players take on the Personas of former champions in the TCG circuits in their youth. The Personas range from the win-less loser, the unrepentant cheater, the uninterested organizer, the old-school player, and the manic fan. The GM plays the Ex-Judge and former champion, who befriends the group, while experiences severe burnout of the game. In their collective youths, they all played the game without a care in the world. However, as time flew by, the game became too expensive, time-consuming, and overall toxic to play continuously. Now, years later, The Players all are reunited in a MUGEN: Infinities Champion Reunion Series by the Ex-Judge. However, this time the game doesn't interest them and they're in it to win the championship prize cards that can be sold for large amounts of money. Noting that the Players have lost their youthful competitive spirits and feelings of comradery, The Ex-Judge invites them to play a secret "practice" game using specially made decks with a special DIE card as their "Tactician". However, the game itself transports them all into the "Infinities" and they must use their cards to survive and possibly escape.
