Theme Planet

Okay, how's this for an idea? It's the future, we've got space travel and we're discovering planets left, right and centre. In fact, any Tom, Dick or Harry can own their own planet. It doesn't take long to get there, or cost much to do it up.

Anyway that's the background. The idea is this: There's this one planet and it's all done up like Mad Max, Morrowind or Lord Of The Rings or something, and you pay a bit of money and you go there for a holiday. There's people living there (actors) from day to day, working the land, trading, bringing up families and all sorts.

When you arrive, you get given some clothes, some local currency and are allowed to go off into the world to do what you wish. You can be a warrior, an explorer, a thief, a wizard or even a robot (depending on the theme). Each planet has a storyline and all the actors are trained to fit in with it.

You go round, staying in taverns, eating and drinking the local cuisine, getting involved in battles, doing quests, freeing slaves, exploring the wastes, sailing from port to port. Whatever you want really. At the end of it, you get to keep all the money you've earnt or all the stuff you've nicked and, if you're lucky, it might just pay for the cost of the holiday itself.

The only spanner that could be thrown into the works is if we discover other planets that already have humanoid races on them. In which case, you might as well go there.
