I'm feeling a bit nostalgic.
Not even gonna lie. I've got tons of ideas for RPs but generally interest checks can be slow depending on holidays, school schedules, etc. Some of these ideas are ripped directly from childhoods of decades past but each offer something different and unique and isn't my usual DC Comics themed roleplay. I just hope to find enough interest to get one of these going LOL. For the better part of the last year or so I've mostly just stuck to my one large cast JLU/DCU rp series and after so much DC I need something different. My current DCU rp is still going, however with the right cast and maybe a Co-GM for the concepts with larger cast I believe I can work in another RP. Below is a short list of stuff I haven't tried in awhile that may have some renewed interest with all the buzz surrounding movies, reboots, toys, comics, and cartoons. I've also listed how many players I'd need for each RP and how much of the iChecks for each idea is developed. Sound off if you're game for one or more of these!
Silverhawks - Set in the not so distant future, this RP would take place fifteen years after the original team of 'Hawks took down the mob in the Limbo Galaxy. The RP would see the 3rd batch of Silverhawks set up shop in a new galaxy that was once home of the Thundercats with the Third Earth playing a key factor in the setting. Familiar faces such as mutants from the planet Plunn-Dar, as well as presumably the last of the Thundercats... Panthro would tie into the first arc. This is equal parts Guardians of the Galaxy, Star Trek, and Robocop. This would require five players, six max. (iCheck Status: Completed)
G.I. Joe: Alpha Team - Basically players will get to pick a GIJ character of the last however many decades and reimagine them for a story in the modern day. In the same vein as the 80's series, I'm gonna have one celebrity character among the NPC roster I'm sure the majority of you know. Since Sargent Slaughter (a pro wrestler) and the Fridge (a pro football player) both crossed over into G.I. Joe... rather than face claim Dwayne Johnson for a character... Dwayne the Rock Johnson will be himself and part of the team. The story itself would revolve around old 'Adventure Team' era characters and the nuclear menace Doctor Isotope. Six to eight players max. (iCheck Status: In-Development)
X-Men Blue & Gold - Half of the game will focus on the school aspect while the other will be more focused on the lives of some of the older mutants among Xavier's current team that faces off against the evil mutants of the world. Now that's not to say the two won't mingle occasionally. At some point a battle may go down on site at the Xavier School and the students may have to take shelter in an underground X-Bunker. Such a setting could have a student step up and join the codenamed and costumed X-Men. Who knows how things could play out?! Eight to ten players max. (iCheck Status: Beginning Stages)
Sailor Moon - A dashing vigilante in the Chinatown area of Manhattan (NYC) grows worried that a looming threat will arrive 'before the princess is found..'. Five girls in and around NYC develop the ability to transform into champions of justice, but which one is the Moon Princess? A twisted and strange looking tree sprouts up out of nowhere in Central Park and plant creatures keep popping up all around the city also looking for the princess. You can also design your own Sailor HERE!! Six to seven players max, and I already call dibs on the Tuxedo Mask wannabe LOL. (iCheck Status: Beginning Stages)
Power Rangers - To somewhat open the floodgates for creativity, this RP would mostly be a combination of the classic 'Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers' with a dash of Dino Charge added in to open up more dinosaurs, colors, and possibilities. The RP would open with five Rangers, Zordon, Alpha 5, and an original big bad style threat as well as minions to go against the group. An evil Ranger would come into play early on and could eventually go good or stay bad. An additional good Ranger could always be brought in later on. Six to seven players max.

I've got a couple more iChecks already completed but they don't fit the Saturday Morning theme and some are tied to the same old DC concepts. It should also be noted any volunteers to Co-GM any one of these games would greatly increase the chances of that particular RP coming to fruition. A Co-GM would mostly be needed to help come up with enemies as well as answer any questions players might have about in-game stuff or the game moving forward in the event of drop-outs. Some (if not all) of these concepts could work with the more episodic type format and posting limits I used in the original JLU rp. Players split up into smaller casts for a couple episodes/missions before the larger cast would all come together in an episode with higher stakes and larger threats. Generally 'episodes' would range from 12-30 posts with the higher post counts stemming from the episodes with the entire cast. Collaborations are also encouraged. This worked well for RP's with eight or more players, but it's cool if its not everybody's cup o' tea.
So... anybody see something they like? Maybe you want a few more details for what I've got in mind for some of them?
