Delusional Anarchists Hallucinating

I don't like the sound of it, frankly. In my experience, genre bait-and-switch campaigns are one of those ideas that every GM has, that every one of them tries at some point, and that never play out as well in practice as it sounds in your head. I've never seen anyone run such a game and have the execution go well enough that it justifies it.

"Your characters think they're doing X, but *really* they're doing Y", what does that add to the campaign? I mean really? I've never seen it add depth, or open up story avenues that otherwise wouldn't be options, or really serve as an improvement. It's a conceit, a gimmick. Not worth doing.

I hope your party consist of rainbow-haired girls, and at least one had asiatish ancestry?
But idea seems fine. Most difficult part is writing parallel real world story [gazetteer, tabloids, news, etc], to reflect things what they done while was junked up and saving kingdom, to reveal it at the moment when party shrugs off illusion

...but why tho?

Lots of questions and stuff that doesn't line up. Injection drugs aren't really a medieval thing. Also unless they're born addicted and raised delusional there isn't anything to make them think this. Also how does it make there not be guns, cops, escalators, etc.? The amount of delusion required to pass off a skyline seems like it would make actually doing anything impossible. Team black already gets their heads kicked in fighting state power directly, it would be even worse if they thought they were knights or some shit.

Sort of a modern take of Don Quixote themes seems like itd work

>Injections
Alchemy is a thing, and being that the players are under the impression this is some kind of fantasy world they wouldn't even think twice.
> delusional
being under the influence of the serious drug for so long has probably caused side effects and being junkies their memory is probably fucked
>no guns?
yes guns
>Skylines
Castles and forts

that was sort of the inspiration

Sounds dumb and like you don't even realize how dumb.

Maybe help illustrate what can be done better? I'm open to criticism honestly.

my intention is basically to act out a cool story with a whole Shamalien twist at the end which the characters would have to decide to continue their actions or not. considering killing pig monsters is totally fine (see: green blood is okay for children) but killing humans is a huge moral thing. however the "pigs" are still considered oppressive to these characters. but again I've only recently begun working on it, i may come up with some kind of important story point.

i dont get
> I hope your party consist of rainbow-haired girls, and at least one had asiatish ancestry?

but i like the idea of having modern influences such as that added into the game, it would be this surreal medieval world with stuff that doesn't quite make sense.

maybe police cars will be strange machines created by the "pigs"
