A LOT of this post will be a work in progress. So please bear with me as I type what is in my head in this post.
After 15 successful RPGs, and one storyline within those RPGs, it is time to rethink and retool what we can pull off with the RPGs. And with the Quest for an Iron Legend series being launched on Netflix, there may be an interest in the RPG. Here is MY proposal for a revival of the Iron Chef RPG.
We start to the point where the Iron Chefs are introduced. In between Iron Chef Japan (both the classic and the 2012 revival) and Iron Chef America (and Quest for the Iron Legend), there are precisely 24 Iron Chefs. They are as follows:
Mario Batali
Cat Cora
Bobby Flay
Marc Forgione
Jose Garces
Alex Guarnaschelli
Wolfgang Puck
Michael Symon
Geoffrey Zakarian
Chen Kenichi
Yutaka Ishinabe
Hiroyuki Sakai
Masahiko Kobe
Roksaburo Michiba
Koumei Nakamura
Masaharu Morimoto
Jun Kurogi
Wuji Wakiya
Yosuke Suga
Curtis Stone
Dominique Crenn
Marcus Samuelsson
Ming Tsai
Gabriela Camara
These are a lot of people that deserve the badge of Iron Chef. So, I thought of something. During the sign-up process, when someone requests the Iron Chef role, he DMs the Chairman who he is going to be when he resumes the Iron Chef role. So, it would be very likely for whoever is the challenger to take on an Iron Chef from a different era, and vice versa.
But it doesn't really answer the question on how the Iron Chef is going to be introduced in the RPG. We do everything almost carbon copy from Quest from the Iron Legend. The chairman will introduce the challenger, tell a bit of the challenger's background, and then reveal who the Iron Chef is going to be.
Then the secret ingredient will be revealed. And then things will proceed like ICJ with one exception. There will be a three-judge panel filled with rotating panel members that will help commentate the battle with Alton and Kristin. The Floor Reporting will be covered by Otha. Like the Iron Chefs, each judge can be from across all of Iron Chef's history.
So, for each battle, we will need:
1 Challenger
1 Iron Chef
1 Alton (Unless Man Alive is willing to take this one permanently)
1 Kirstin
1 Otha
3 Judges
