Ok i had come up with the idea of an interactive map a few months ago, it came to me through trying to make an X-mansion map when i came across the danger room.

My plan is for an interactive map, it can be used as a regular map for all purposes but its other uses were for a person to actually play the map. Ego the living planet is the only character i could think of that would be feesible. It works like this normal sized map with hindering blocking terrian, some indoor parts via caves and what not. essentiall the map would be best for a three to four player game as it has sub-levels, example there would be a stairwell that leads to nothing, the stairwell actually leads to a small map perhaps a quarter of the size of the regular map. the interactive part goes as followed. Ego has defenses like we do, creaturews like white blood cells defend his body. Lets say its a three team fight, there would be a fourth person controlling Ego. At different parts of the map there would be color coded spots that correspond with Ego's defenses. For example a blue sqaure would contain two creatures that are Ego's. They would say be as tough as a experienced Blob not a huge threat but annoying nonethe less, also there would be a blue line surrounding the single blue square, the creatures from the blue square may not go past the blue line, the same goes for red and yellow. The map itself has a combat dial and can take clicks, while playing against an opponent you will run into trouble from Ego, also when you do damage to one of the either yellow, blue, or red denfense creatures that Ego posses, you may either choose to damge Ego for one click or do the normal clicks to the creature. Also there will be spots that can damage you directly that being Ego himself these spots are also susesable to damage via his combat dial, which would have its own defense attack, and damage, no movement of course. let me know what you guys/girls think. i know it seems like alot but it'd be hella fun.

Sounds pretty interesting and all. Definally would be a cool and very challanging map to play on, But I'm not totally familar with this Ego living planet guy.
I mean, I understand that he's a living planet and all but what's his deal, his background?
What's his main goal in life?
Also what do these ego creatures look like? Do you have any pictures or know of any web sites with pictures of them?

If you've played mage Knight: Dungeons they have something similar with the bad guys you suggest defending EGO. In Dungeons any player is allowed to use one of their actions to control a bad guy rather than one of their own characters. This might be one way to not need to have a player dedicated to controlling EGO.

In dungeons you are limited by not being able to control bad guys that are in close proximity to your figures, so you'd need to find a way to handle that if you wanted to do it.
