Two new writers looking for something fun

[Andrew Blade]

So I am open to many different types of settings and plots, but I'm very picky about which ones I join in to. I like games that I can draw from my real-world experiences, but I'm also quite interested in non-realistic settings if the plot is good. I often like to play heroic characters, but I can be quite diverse should the need be there for another role.

I have brought my friend @Brat432 along for the ride, as she's talked about getting back into writing again to help occupy some of her free time.

I've browsed some of the interest checks and I have yet to find anything that really appeals to me. I'm open to jumping in to the middle of an RPG currently running, as long as it doesn't require me to read the entire RPG up to that point to play a new character.

What I'm asking, essentially, is for anyone that's planning on starting a new RPG if they might need a pair of writers eager to play together in an interesting setting and plot.

I've actually been looking for people to help me bounce ideas off and brainstorm an RP.

Its very important to me because I'm writing a script for an animation I'm creating using Poser (the same program used to create RWBY).

The genre is Sci-Fi with high fantasy elements. Aliens instead of Elves, Technology that utilizes Magic, Spaceships and Living Gods, things of that nature. Think of it like Treasure Planet meets Mass Effect meets D&D. World building and how factors interact is something I'm putting alot of planning into. I want to make it feel real, lived in.

If this sounds like something you'd like to know more about, I'd be happy to start a PM chat with the both of you.

I’m also looking to write more, Andrew. What kinds of things catch your interest?

[Andrew Blade]

I'm so glad you asked! A lot of my play tends to draw from my own experiences, though I am able to translate those into characters with completely different backgrounds/skill-sets for the right plot/setting. I do favor a modern/realistic world most of the time, as well as a very action-oriented plot. That being said, I do enjoy zombie and post-apocalyptic settings quite a bit as well. I play Dungeons & Dragons every other weekend, so fantasy settings work for me as well if the plot and players are good.

I can work with fandoms that I follow or that are quick studies. When it comes to supernatural types, I'm much more interested in playing the humans or "Slayers" when those categories exist, that serve to protect humanity from the eviler things that go bump in the night. Blending World of Darkness with Hellboy is one of my dreams.

I do like me some post apocalyptic stuff, and some good fantasy. I'm not one for pure straight modern--I like modern in a way that like, things can be added. You know, alternate universes, slightly futuristic, or some suspension of disbelief for some little elements here an there, but I'm not a pure slice of life person. But like, modern with a wee twist is good.

I'm currently starting up a post-apocalypse pokemon rp with some comedic elements thrown in, I'm not sure if any of you would be interested in it, buuut if you are don't hesitate to stop by. :)

@Blackfridayrule

I can handle this to an extent. I just have a more difficult time dealing with fantasy and sci-fi scenarios that twist the laws of reality and physics to the point that I have a hard time differentiating between what's appropriate and what's too much of an exaggeration, and after a while, when you start to stretch things further and further, it just gets out of hand until someone has the power to destroy the world. The advantage of Modern for me is that I know the limitations and I can apply real-world reasoning.

[Blackfridayrule]

Definitely nothing along the lines of super powers or anything. By tweaking I mean things like:

Having a fictional nation that doesn’t actually exist (ex: Wakanda)
Cutting edge tech that’s maybe just a liiiiittle more than what we have now, but still somewhat believable.
Stuff like that.

[Andrew Blade]

Oh yeah, I totally am down for modern fiction. Little adjustments like that work well for me.

[Blackfridayrule]

Ah that’s the term for it. Cool. Got any plot ideas in mind? Things you wanna play with?

[Andrew Blade]

I do have an old zombie apocalypse plot I kind of want to dust off and try again. Outside of that, nothing specifically comes to mind :( I'm too lazy to want to run a game on my own, unfortunately.

[Blackfridayrule]

Can't say I'm much of a zombie person...never found it to be all that interesting personally.

Also I just joined a rather involved thread and I'm not sure I can handle another.

[MissCapnCrunch]

I'd like to come along for this ride :) Always need more RPG buds.

[Andrew Blade]

Haha... I'm kind of starting to picture a rag-tag band of adventurers coming together with the addition of @MissCapnCrunch, jumping from rpg to rpg together in a variety of roles.

Who's in? @Faithy? @Misscapncrunch? @Brat432? I was told that the posting pace is glacial, which is up my alley, and maybe up yours.

@Andrew Blade

This thread is REALLY old. It might be in our best interest to get into something more new

[Scarlet Loup]

Howdy there I'm hopping on this wagon because I'm also trying to get back into writing, and I would definitely be down for a post-apocalypse zombie roleplay! I'm also kind of generally up for whatever tbh - I just need to start writing again a bit more before I start GMing again.

@MissCapnCrunch

I actually spoke with the creator. They are starting the next chapter- sloughing off old, dead players and reinvigorating it with new. The premise is based around teenagers, level 0 player characters, basically, without a "class" yet. If you're in, we can work together and put together a solid origin story. Between the bunch of us in this little band, we can play enough to at least get our feet wet with each other and if this doesn't pan out, we can skip off into the sunset to something better.
