Hey so I had this idea awhile back for an RP inspired by Indiana Jones, and I'm wondering if any of you guys would be interested. The basic premise is that Indiana Jones has retired from work in the field, and needs to put together a team of treasure hunters to complete a dangerous mission of some kind. We would of course play as the team, known as the Raiders, and our characters would all be former students or associates of Indiana Jones. Keep in mind that Indy has been all over the world, so you'll have the freedom to create any kind of character you want. Maybe you're character is an expert on ancient languages, a hotshot pilot, a badass soldier, you get the idea. The key is to have a diverse team. I also want to make sure that this RP stays true to the adventurous tone of Indiana Jones, so it's going to be fast-paced and action-packed, with the team getting into one mess after another. Humour is encouraged as well.

So what do you guys think?

I like the idea. I could probably come up with a character if this gets started.

Ideally, I think we need about 5-6 characters. Do you guys have any ideas on what kind of character you want to play? And do you have suggestions/recommendations for artifacts the team can go after?

I have an idea for an alaskan rancher, he could serve as the survival expert. And we could always do the Staff of Moses, El Dorado, Atlantis, etc.

I could go for this. I suppose if I were to join, I would enjoy being a demolitions expert, unless someone else had that idea as well, in which I could simply fill in the gaps.

Sigurd's sword, Gram. The wreck of the Argo, which may still have the Golden Fleece aboard. The Sessho-seki. The iron needle that contains the soul of Koschei the Deathless. The Peaches of Immortality.

What time period are we setting this in, and what kind of foes can we expect to fight?

I'm interested. Also, as Polyphemus suggested, the wreck of the Argo could be fun.

The story will probably start in 1959, so that it makes sense for Indy to be retired. As far as the foes, the Russians are the obvious choice given the time period, and I was also thinking about using the Chinese. Hopefully we will have multiple adventures and we can use a variety of villains. One of the scenarios I have in my head involves the team ending up shipwrecked on an island, where a band of mercenaries are looking for an artifact for some nefarious purpose. The plot would involve the team stopping the mercenaries and finding a way off the island.

The Argo idea is interesting, there could be a cool parallel between our team of heroes and Jason and the Argonauts.

Well, the early 1960s was a great time for colorful mercenaries, so that plot sounds perfect. Maybe it's a remote stretch of African jungle instead of an island?

Sorry, not trying to steal your thunder or hijack anything, just got my imagination fired up.

I was thinking of playing a German character who is an old colleague of Indiana. He would have a lot of knowledge about reading and translating many different languages, new and old.

I actually had an Idea for something like this a while back, but I never got a response. My character that I brainstormed was a History Student whose Uncle is head of the Chicago Mafia.
