(PREFACE: I have an identical thread open in the casual section, but I feel, since I want this RP to move at pace, before the Halloween-novelty wears off, I would be remiss in not offering it to the advanced section as well.)

Hello,

A couple of years ago a participated in an incredibly short, yet captivating RP set in a blighted version of the Elder Scrolls universe. It effectively used a setting accessible to a wide audience, TESV Skyrim and its starting area of Riverwood and Whiterun, and fused it with the familiar campy-Halloween trope of a perma-dark world riddled with the undead, overgrown only by wiry branched, decaying trees and smoking moss. It had a really unique atmosphere, and I was really sad when it petered out after only a few posts.

So, I'm hoping a few of you will help me revive it, at least in some form. The RP I'm proposing would take place in Skyrim, 4E 201, but before the beginning of Skyrim's main quest, and would include a small group of adventurers searching for some deus-ex-machina to help them drive off the Apocalypse. An archetypical dungeon crawler. I have had a few ideas for the setting, so I'll leave a list of them, and see what potential participants think of them. Thanks for taking the time to read :).

Potential Setting:

1)


2)


3)


I hope, even if you don't like TES, this RP can still pique your interest. TES is a very accessible universe, one anyone with a vague understanding of fantasy will understand, yet it is, too, incredibly rich. Please, if you love fantasy and you love horror, consider posting your interest.

Thanks

EDIT: Oh, and please do let me know which of the three settings you think I should go with, and which you'd really not want to play, if any. I'll pick the most popular one.

@MrSkelton@UrbanEvolution

Awesome. You'll have to tell me which of those three options you'd most like to play. I really do need people to express a preference.

@MrSkelton I know (and, I suppose, thank you, I guess that means I'm consistent), but surely one of them stands out for you. Perhaps you have a clear idea for a character for one of them, but are hazy on the others. Take your time. Also, edit in your choice to the post I'm quoting. I don't want to bloat this thread too much.

I like the first one, personally. I didn't really like the way Elder Scrolls handled vampires. As for the Foresworn, well, they always struck me as an interesting faction but they always struck me as too contrived. The Dunmer and the Falmer have always interested me the most, possibly because the details of their history were never revealed to me. Also, the mechanical enemies always seemed more difficult to predict than living ones and more fun to defeat as a result.

Yeah, I think 1 is my favourite, though I think the way vampires are portrayed in Skyrim is for the sake of gameplay and balancing, their lore is quite interesting and unique.

@Valkyr@Adamina I don't suppose either of you would still be interested if this RP were in the advanced section?

I agree. The greatest challenge in making a game is usually the balance between lore and gameplay. The actual lore is fascinating but their practical power makes their limited numbers... less than believable. All they have to do is use their leaching spell to spread the curse and that can be done at a distance.

@TTNoobs I think I can still give this a go. I'm in. My vote will still be for the first setting.
