You know, Bara Magna was woefully underused in G1 BIONICLE.

There's so much potential there, and yet so little was done with it.

Let's. Fix. That.

With a player-driven game. Not unlike BZPGOT, though not at all connected.

There are six villages on Bara Magna - Vulcanus, Tajun, Tesara, Iconox, Roxtus, and Atero. There are eight tribes - Fire, Water, Jungle, Ice, Rock, Iron, Sand, and Earth. Earth is very, very rare - most of its tribe are not even on Bara Magna, only a few can be found. The Iron Tribe does not fare much better, but it is slightly less rare, its members scattered and nomadic, shunned by the rest of Bara Magna. The Sand Tribe - everyone knows the Sand Tribe's bestial regression, most now little more than beasts.

Let's posit ourselves a question, or several: what if Mata Nui never arrived? What if the people of Bara Magna did not have Mata Nui to unite them against the Skrall? What if more people than just Metus made a deal with the Skrall? What if the Agori and the Glatorian had to fight and scheme, against the Skrall, against each other, unaware of the secrets lying in wait all around them, in this land once inhabited by the Great Beings?

Five 'factions' -

The Fire Tribe, based in Vulcanus.

The Water Tribe, based in Tajun.

The Jungle Tribe, based in Tesara.

The Ice Tribe, based in Iconox.

The Rock Tribe, based in Roxtus.

The idea - four players in each. A leader (except the Rock Tribe - more of in name only there), a diplomat, a Glatorian, and an adviser (Turaga).

Potential idea - two sand tribe members, too, not particularly based anywhere, wandering the wastes of Bara Magna. To add - one secret Earth Tribe member, who knows some of the Great Beings' secrets.

Because this is Bara Magna, there is no leader, not like the Mask Makers of BZPGOT. Each village... will have to fend for itself. Or make alliances - or wars - with other villages.

Six locations - Vulcanus, Tajun, Tesara, Iconox, Roxtus, and Atero..

And the nice thing about using Bara Magna? We've already got a map.

As for the recent history... let's say things are as they were at the start of 2009, with some changes. Atero has not been sacked, and Vulcanus has not been raided.
