 ### Battle royale with politics.
 
+* PVP or PVAI in a combat focused setting
+* Fairly lethal, but it's revealed to be a game of sorts: as soon as you're "out", you wind up in a war room of sorts, doing some political maneuvering
+    * Sending resources to other players
+    * convincing players to act in a certain way
+    * working with NPCs
+* Someone 'wins', whether it's one player or the team of players vs the AI
+
+
+Questions for the MC:
+
+* First decide if it's PVP or PVAI - the AI doesn't need to be complicated, just enough for some simple combat. Just ensure that the PCs can be taken out
+* Do the players go into this knowing that it's a two layer structure?
+* How do alliances form between players? With the leverage stat, how does that play out between characters?
+* Can players form alliances with NPCs?
+* What are the win conditions? What is the motivation for the players?
+
 ### Finding a lost self
 
+* Work for a sort of PI agency
+* Hired by a root instance to find a lost up-tree instance
+    * Last they heard, they'd headed off to go walking sims, but then just disappeared, not responding to messages, appear to be bouncing
+    * Generally a fan of letting up-tree instances do their own thing, but the lack of contact has them more curious than anything
+* Head out talking to various friends to find various clues
+* Find the missing instance and get to make some decisions about how to interact, what they want to do, etc.
 
+Questions for the MC:
+
+* Does the up-tree instance wish to be found?
+* How does the root instance feel about this
+* Did they leave amicably? If not, do they forgive the root instance?
+* Was this maybe just a setup by an old clade to make life interesting?
+* Do the PCs pick up any NPCs along the way? Does the root instance come with?
