+<ul>
+<li>PVP or PVAI in a combat focused setting</li>
+<li>Fairly lethal, but it&rsquo;s revealed to be a game of sorts: as soon as you&rsquo;re &ldquo;out&rdquo;, you wind up in a war room of sorts, doing some political maneuvering<ul>
+<li>Sending resources to other players</li>
+<li>convincing players to act in a certain way</li>
+<li>working with NPCs</li>
+</ul>
+</li>
+<li>Someone &lsquo;wins&rsquo;, whether it&rsquo;s one player or the team of players vs the AI</li>
+</ul>
+<p>Questions for the MC:</p>
+<ul>
+<li>First decide if it&rsquo;s PVP or PVAI - the AI doesn&rsquo;t need to be complicated, just enough for some simple combat. Just ensure that the PCs can be taken out</li>
+<li>Do the players go into this knowing that it&rsquo;s a two layer structure?</li>
+<li>How do alliances form between players? With the leverage stat, how does that play out between characters?</li>
+<li>Can players form alliances with NPCs?</li>
+<li>What are the win conditions? What is the motivation for the players?</li>
+</ul>
 <h3 id="finding-a-lost-self">Finding a lost self</h3>
+<ul>
+<li>Work for a sort of PI agency</li>
+<li>Hired by a root instance to find a lost up-tree instance<ul>
+<li>Last they heard, they&rsquo;d headed off to go walking sims, but then just disappeared, not responding to messages, appear to be bouncing</li>
+<li>Generally a fan of letting up-tree instances do their own thing, but the lack of contact has them more curious than anything</li>
+</ul>
+</li>
+<li>Head out talking to various friends to find various clues</li>
+<li>Find the missing instance and get to make some decisions about how to interact, what they want to do, etc.</li>
+</ul>
+<p>Questions for the MC:</p>
+<ul>
+<li>Does the up-tree instance wish to be found?</li>
+<li>How does the root instance feel about this</li>
+<li>Did they leave amicably? If not, do they forgive the root instance?</li>
+<li>Was this maybe just a setup by an old clade to make life interesting?</li>
+<li>Do the PCs pick up any NPCs along the way? Does the root instance come with?</li>
+</ul>
