Everything I've got going right now is progressing at a snail's pace, so I'd like to get one or two more Rps going. Got a couple ideas and want to see which ones catch the most attention. Also most of these im looking to try something a little different than the standard role-playing formula.
This is probably my most ambitious idea, as it would require a lot of setup, and until characters start to meet, a lot of individual storylines. This would take place in modern north America, primarily the U.S., and stretch hopefully throughout the continent. Premise being the classic the government is aware of people with these abilities, and they are trying to abduct them against their will for study, and to keep the general public in the dark. Think Heroes. My idea being each player picks which power they would like. Decide age, gender, appearance, and personality; yet the character with each power will grow up in a predetermined area to different people. Then me and that person will work together on backstory and how they grew up and began realizing their abilities. Furthermore, I have a guy I'm asking to play the role of a government agent, who is attempting to capture the other players, to help, drive character together. Example powers could be pyrotechnics, invisibility, regenerative qualities you know the works.
Sort of. This idea is also a little out there. Idea is a high fantasy setting. A dark conqueror, who is on the cusp of world domination visits an old fortune teller, and asks if anyone can defeat his army. The fortune teller, sees several vague tarot cards of here own making that tell of unaware champions who could defeat him. The idea is I present a vague character concept and you fill it however you see fit, or come up,with your own. A few examples I have now are, The Wandering Knight, Innocent Devil, The Great Beast, Returned Hero etc.
This is also a 1x1 I'm trying but my partner has been missing for weeks so I'll try it in group. Concept being that in this massive city an organization of men guard the cemeteries and crypts from grave robbers, necromancers, and the inhabitants from the any newly risen and angry dead.
The most powerful and rich king in the world is dying from a mysterious, incurable disease. Legend tells of a mysterious artifact that can solve all problems of the body, and the kind has promised to grant the wish of whoever can save his life. Now what you must understand about the king is... he is a complete and total ass. He is rude, angry, and a dominating tyrant. Believe me if he were to die many would make a grand festival of it. However he is rich... This would be sort of a pvp experience, yet player cooperation is okay. Everyone has their own wish, and only one is being granted.
By the way, from some of the ideas I want to try it may seem like I am a very controlling person. I truly am not, I just want to try something new that I think will be fun for all of us. If you feel I'm being to tight on what you can make just tell me, I'm more than willing to compromise.
The idea of playing as an epic character based upon a tarot card as a "living myth" is an interesting concept. Consider that to be of my interest - just the notion of the "Great Beast" has my attention.
I've got to say, the Tarot Characters and Grave Keepers RPs really got my attention. Count me in. Also, I think I can work with that Wandering Knight tarot idea.
I'm also interested in the powers RP, as long as supernatural powers are allowed.
I would be interested in learning more about either the tarot or the grave keepers. For Tarot, I think I've got an idea for the innocent devil or great beast, but I see harbinger has kind of claimed the beast, which is fine.
