The Idea Box

Postby Steven kono » Thu Apr 17, 2014 4:35 pm

Since I am rather limited in my RPing ability due to laptop being gone and using a mobile device, figured might as well create a room where I can instead throw ideas out and see what people think, Heck, I may end up inspiring a RP or two (give credit) though this is not just for my own ideas, pretty much this would fall under RP ideas you are not quite sure of so you do not make a room just for it. In case it is not popular, like a Think tank of sorts.

Might as well throw a idea I was contemplating out there.
Spoiler (click to show/hide):

A Rosario + Vampire RP, set in modern time after the manga seriesmeaning humans do in fact know of the existence of monster. which places then as students, to help avoid issues with everyone being vampires or sucubus and the such came up with the system, before ANYTHING occurs the player rolls a 1d20 die. If it is above ten, it is a high level monster such as a vampire, sucubus, werewolf, etc. While ten or below is a low powered monster.

After that they get the chance to 'call' a race, and roll another 1d20 die. If above ten they get the high or low powered race they wished. If not above ten the GM rolls to decide the race with a 1d10 die with each side representing a race.

Sex is allowed of coarse. Though not going off stats since the race covers it. The rest of the sheet is your standard character sheet that seems to be found around here but only to be filled out after species is decided

To help those who have no knowledge of the series. Best read through first and when done then move to season II

.

That would be just one idea.

I may not be the best or most competent forum rper here, heck far from it but I at least try to give my 100% and that is good enough for me.

Like I Already stated, the ideas are not just my own, Heck if others have ideas feel free to throw them. No dark RPs really come to my mind often though when it is things like torture or other more extreme things.

I'm thinking of starting my own Xcom RP >_> I know one exist and as i make sure everyone damn well knows, i hate the new xcom for how bad a tactical simulator it is and for the complete lack of meaning full strategy along with base building.... then add a pointless interceptor game which you have to play because..... GAME LOGIC! So my RP is a back to basic with the inspiration coming from mostly the classic. This means enemies will have different feel to them since well the new Xcom completely changed every enemy for better or for worse.... except the grays which just seem odd but are basically the same.

The title shall be Xcom:UFO (Extraterrestrial Combat Unit, Feminine operation defense. )
The world is a alternate earth starting in the year 1998 when the first UFO were sighted. The world culture is that which the women are the ruling class and fight in the army where men are basically considered house wives. I know there is a word for this but i can't think of it; can some one help?; Anyways the date is 1998 September and the first UFO are spotted. every civilized nation of the world attempts to shoot down these disk like air ships but non succeed until the japanese specially formed task forced dubbed "Kiryu-Kai" which shot down it's first invade on the 2nd of December of that year. By january of the following year, the UN decided to pull their collective weight together to form an organization equipped with the most advance tech of this world. The organization formed was named Extraterrestrial combat unity or Xcom for short.

It's a rough idea based on the original story. I figure i have down time between missions where the players take a active role in researching enemy tech and interrogating capture enemies along with well feeding them >_> HMmmmmm feeding. But i also feel that these things should be prioritizes so if activity gets slows i just set off a UFO alarm and send the players off to their next mission.
The missions are going to be the best text based interpretation of thoses lovely 2d graphics in a 3d map. Aliens will also follow the original designs since it makes more sense to say "Alien tech" then to say "Jet engine" for floater designs.

Matriarchy? Or something else?
If it takes me two weeks or more to respond to a RP without prior notice, send me a PM. It's more likely I've missed the last post, forgot or got distracted and need a little reminder rather than deciding to drop the game without warning.

Likely I will start with a one on one RP if I choose to go through with that Idea. To experiment with it and see if it works. Glad to see I am starting to interest people.

Of coarse I hope to attract more people to this to post more ideas for everyone freely, after all if you do not feel a idea could work you can always leave it up to someone else and watch how they do it. Though if that is the case might be a good idea to make the idea giver a GM for the RP to at the least make sure everything stays true and does not divert or get twisted.

Reason l go with one on one is to test the mechanics and the setting, less of how it would work in a group. Could easily do one later over Skype or something if RPing with more then one person is needed.

Lacking enthusiasm to start up another rp, but here's a concept for yas

1799 (or maybe a few years earlier): The rebels have lost the war, and the colonies and General Washington's army have fallen into shambles. The British, infuriated with the American dissidence, have tightened their grip on the colonies to a point never seen before. Very few colonists have rights to speak of, and those that do are barely more than slaves. As for the less fortunate- as in, anybody who did not support the British during the war- they are viewed as sub-human, and treated as such. Women are pieces of meat, used as fuck-toys for armies and high-ranking officers, while the men labor under the hot sun and searing whips of their slavers. But murmurs of another rebellion spread through the colonies like wildfire, and the British conceal their worries under a calm shade that hides their fears.

Take it as you will. I thought it was a pretty good idea. I just can't GM it.And if somebody ends up using this, it goes without saying that he/she could put another spin on it, if he/she so desired. k thanx
Peace & Light
