heretic

 working title for ttrpg

idea:

the kingdom you're in is a state run religion. (to the king?)

you work for the gov. 

You receive a vision for the true god. your goal is now to free the kingdom from heresy! 

you're now a double agent for god. 

join/make an underground religious rebellion. 

character:

classless system

pick profession? mostly for flavor?

you work under the state as a soldier, clergyman, admin, ......

play is your boss sends you on jobs. create or roll them

examples

clear a dungeon for the state 

deal with rebels

set up a religious event

protect this person

etc

successfully completed jobs gives you xp to level up which is a promotion in your job. This gets you bigger jobs and opportunity to fulfill your ultimate goal of overthrowing the gov. 

-----

The design goal/feel i'm going for is a tense double agent feel. Try to advance in the gov to learn more but not get caught as a heretic of the state. You play both sides trying to get info for the rebels while the gov sends you on jobs to kill/deal with said rebels! DOES MY BOSS KNOW!? DOES HE KNOW I KNOW!?? ARE THEY COMING AFTER ME? IS THIS A SET UP!?!?
