Hello!

Aristo and I welcome you to this IntCheck, in which we’ve presented several roleplay concepts for you to browse through. Work has gone into the settings of each, but they all sound like a lot of fun to GM, and we hope you think so too. In fact, we haven’t been able to agree on which to run!
So in the spirit of democracy, and the unwillingness to give up on a single idea, we’re giving you the choice of which roleplay we ought to run. Whichever one gathers the most interest will be the one we will focus on and launch an OOC for. Each of these concepts has been undergone preliminary world-building and given established backgrounds, to be expanded upon in the event that one is chosen. A brief taste of our concepts is provided below, with a more detailed sample towards the bottom, as befitting a typical interest check.

Here are your choices in simple form:
A: A fantasy realm political simulation (very intricate and detailed). Players will control individual senators, nobles and other significant figures as they participate in the political process of one newly crafted nation. There will be a detailed Constitution, Bill of Rights, and other documentation, written for and by for these characters with player collaboration, to abide by (or neglect) as they see fit and even amend. The role of the GM will be to create national and international events for these senators to react to, with allowance for players to pursue their own methods and ambitions. Anything can happen, from a Julius Caesar-esque takeover of the military, to a change in government structure, to a religious reformation.

B: A swords & sorcery-style fantasy adventure. Imagine Howard’s tales of Conan the Barbarian in the Hyborian Age, or Moorcock’s Eternal Champion multiverse: Elric, Corum and Hawkmoon. This is a story of heroic individuals, in a world of burly muscle and loincloths, where magic and blade abound. The scope of this concept is centered on a few key heroes, rather than the politics of nations, but features a highly-detailed world to explore and interact with. The plot of the story will be expanded on below, but as an overview, our characters will traverse lands unknown and face ancient dangers with the aim of defeating a pervasive evil, caught in a cycle of rebirth and reconquest.

C: If you like Lovecraft then no doubt you know “The Colour Out of Space”, But what if the colour meteor struck the center of a fictitious continent during a 1789-analogous era? The corruption of this extraplanar entity slowly spreads from nation to nation, urging players to react before it’s too late. Lovecraftian horror and aliens meet the 18th century as the squabbling of nations is interrupted by a cosmic alien horror, forcing kingdoms into a choice between sink or swim: petty rivalries must be set aside, or the continent will surely descend into madness! Playstyle will follow conventional nation RP logistics, with players creating and roleplaying nations caught in this turbulent time.

Heirs of the Dark Lord
Legend of the Silver Legion

(We are participating in both!)

1)C
2)A
3)B

B)
C)
A)

C)
A)
B)

Whichever option wins, I might make a new interest check for to bring in more specific players. Thank you so much so far guys! Keep the votes up.

1)C
2)A
3)B

I believe C is going to win no matter what. I'll give it the rest of the day, and if nothing changes, I'll make a new interest check and tag you all, with an ooc shortly after.

Just recently had the idea for an NRP set in the 60s inspired by the Godzilla movies.
Basically think of a retro sci-fi world with giant monsters and ancient aliens roaming around, right in the midst of Cold War.
Mentioning this because it slightly resembles C. The world is divided yet new threats make it neccessary to work together for survival.

C.) This is obvious why the first for me.

B.) I like the concept but wonder how you manage to turn this into an NRP.

A.) Council games are not my cup of tea. If it's fantasy I prefer Malazan over Game of Thrones, if you get what I mean.

B.) I like the concept but wonder how you manage to turn this into an NRP.

B. Is a more traditional one-character-per-player adventure, not an NRP!

This interest check is also advertised in the Advanced section, hence the option for B... though I suppose coop world building COULD be a thing. Thanks for your votes though! Also you should totally try that idea out sometime, if I wasnt in on this I might join. BUt for now I''m focusing on my current RP's and these fellas.

Weird, each idea together kind of reminds me of something I've been dreaming up for the past month or so. I'll think on this a bit but I'm leaning toward maybe option 2.

So...

1)B
2)C
3)A

I believe so far we have 4 for C and 2 for B, with C having a lot of secondary votes. I think C wins!

So do you guys want an OOC right away or a secondary interest check to attract more players? MAYBE BOTH?

@GreivousKhan@Aristo@Willy Vereb@CaptainBritton@Asura@Drunken Conquistador@solamelike

So are you all up for a lovecraftian horror?

"The oldest and strongest emotion of mankind is fear, and the oldest and strongest kind of fear is fear of the unknown"

Lets get this cosmic unspeakable undescribably awe inspiring party started!

Ooc will be up today!

Tentatively.

I admit that the last one sounds allot like the NRP by Silux/NewSun that gave birth to our favorite Minotaur scholar. But as I understand it-- it's based off our real world? Thus making it a short of Alternate timeline?

Not particularly; the world is entirely fictional, it's just the general feel, tech level and so on that's rooted in the French Revolutionary Wars/Napoleonic era. Humans are the only sentient race. It's fantasy insofar as there's supernatural phenomena and perhaps creatures unique to the setting.

It was Serp who created the first SAC war, and yes, I realize the similarities :P Little different here though.
