You seriously got mad over criticism? Yeah, I can see how this is going to turn out. Cya.

If I got mad you would know, sir. I merely got slightly offended at your blatant disregard for others opinions. See rather then placing it nicely, you instead insult it and now you are acting all high and mighty.

I bid you a farewell.

You know, if we're going to just do a typical Western Fantasy setting, why not just use one that's already existent? Almost all the D&D settings would work for this. Most people know Forgotten Realms and there's reams of material and worldspace to tell any number of stories.

[The 42nd Gecko]

Wow... People spent a lot of time attacking people for... things other people said?

I see three cases where people jumped on someone for something that another person was responsible for.

Eeesh..

Anyway, back on topic, I think I could do with something relatively straightforward that gets to the action quickly. Then we see whether it grows from there.

I say we have the peace treaty group trying to come together, we're all on the security team or the attackers, and begin. Defenders try to preserve the sanctity of the summit, attackers try and wreck it (whether by intrigue or by murderifying, or both), and we come up with the backstory of why this group is trying to interfere with the summit as we go.

We could get into bloody combat with dramatic entrances and philosophical musings while backroom intrigue takes place within the first ten posts, and that's something I think is worthy.

and more... people defending me when I wasn't insulted. *grins*

I must admit I do have differing opinions. I do know for a fact there are places on this planet where a female cannot show her face without being killed and nobody is going to have an easy time convincing me otherwise. Heck, I was thrown out of a Baptist church for asking "improper" questions like... if God was perfect and he has learned how to be more compassionate through the actions of his avatar Jesus wouldn't that imply that he was imperfect to begin with?

Anyhow, back to the more exciting stuff:

--The PCs fail to defend a princess. As one of the few survivors of they are the only one's capable of pursuing her kidnappers and intercepting them before they reach the EVIL LAIR(tm)! Who knows what they have planned for the princess.
--A caravan is attacked, we the common merchants, caravan guards and whatnot, had no clue that the caravan was carrying a powerful artifact or the remains of deceased orc khan (chief of chiefs, demigod or whatever). Now the artifact/remains must be recovered before the artifact is used or, in the case of the remains, are resurrected and he can resume his campaign to take over the world.
--Siege! For some reason, the horde outside wants to desperately get in, maybe the PC's have something of value. (Mcguffins like the Khan's remains, the ancient artifact "Crown of Winter" or something of that nature). The PCs all die one by one, horribly, making way for the next group of PCs.
--Stormtroopers arrive and start conquering the world. They are near unstoppable. Only the greatest heroes have any success against them and only using guerrilla style tactics. The armoured soldiers are quite in awe of those that "use the force", whatever that means. :) Okay... that last was only slightly serious but could still make for an awesome roleplay.

[orcpunx]

how about Two countrys being at war and were simply playing the people within the country who are trying to help win the war?

[thegreenleafe]

What about some sort of shipwreck onto a mysterious island?

[DELETED324324]

Perhaps we can be in the middle of a civil rights thing with a repressive human empire treating non humans like crap and some groups get more militant. Someone evil could use the militants for nefarious purposes while somone good will probably be that champion of justice.

Another idea i have is perhaps a plague or a event that caused massive damage to the land struck and just recently passed. With the mages seemingly coming out unharmed and facing criticism.

Or the GM and a few others can brainstorm the world combining a good chunk of these ideas.

[Assallya]

How about all the women of the land are being kidnapped by a gigantic tentacle monster. In order to defeat it the land's knights must find the chosen one, a sexy prince with a cute buttocks, and become empowered by him through a huge bombastic gay sex orgy ritual.

-or perhaps not.

Still though, rebellions are good. You can almost never go wrong with a good rebellion. Maybe the rebels are trying to contact the gods of old which have been banished by Gruumsh and Maglubiyet's pantheons. Those evil Orcses and Goblinses are always trying to recover the precious that will call back the gods of light but we mustn't let them, no precious no, mustn't let them. We hates them, hateses them forevers!

[thegreenleafe]

So we should narrow our options down and vote. Reason shall prevail.

[Empath]

Hi people! If it won't be too cheeky I would like to add my 5 cents to this:
What about mixing all three ideas? I am thinking about a tyrannical king that has been consumed by a dark power that has consumed his mind, at the same time a plague has started to sweep through the lands (the source is unknown, but there could be a correlation between the fall of the once great and kind king and the plague). Add the princess idea: she could have an important role (power, ability etc.) that makes her very important for the resistance to gain the upper hand.
Just an idea, hopefully you won't dislike my input too much ^^

[AdamantiumWolf]

^ I like it, anyone else?
I hope everyone had an awesome Christmas

[NobleArchangel]

@Empath: What if the plague you were talking about turns people into undead after they die? Let's say 3 days after the victim dies, they come back as a undead warrior?

[Assallya]

Bah, forget this voting thing. Let Adamantium Wolf choose. A GM, DM, thread master or whatever you want to call them, has to be interested in the plotline to propel it forwards from scene to scene. If the GM gets stuck with a plotline they aren't fond of things often go sour quickly.

As for an undead plague. I'm not adverse. However, three days isn't much of a worry for a magical plague. That leaves plenty of time to consecrate, the remains incinerate them or otherwise take preventative measures. For something of this nature to be effective it would have to be quick, perhaps within minutes so that a fallen foe or ally in the midst of combat becomes something you need to keep an eye on. You'd also have to determine how such things are killed. Traditionally in fantasy you have to hack the zombie or skeleton apart. "Shoot them in the head" is a very modern invention and a mere thrust to the brain isn't necessarily as effective on magical versions. After all, skeletons have hollow skulls!

[The Patriarch]

if there is a lot of fighting involved then I am interested

[Necrosis]

I`m interested in this rp.

As for story, how about we are mercenaries who go around doing the crazies jobs?

[AdamantiumWolf]

Okay, this is what's gonna happen, there is going to be a tyrant king, and a fast sweeping unknown plague, I'll write up a story, put it in the occ titled Fantasy Adventure The Tyrant. And whom ever is intrested post your cs and we'll continue from there, I'll supply the first cs so you can all follow my lead, if this didn't go in the direction you wanted I apologize in adavnce.
