I am still on RPG, so do feel free to message me. Just don't have the time or energy to actually join any RP's right now. Focusing on a LOT of other projects, including getting into Audio Drama.

See, i kinda wanted to do my Star Trek Online crew, but honestly, i think a smaller, more focused group is better for me. So, i'm resubmitting the Astro-Megaship.

@Sep Probably Star Trek Online, maybe Power Rangers again, maybe Transformers. We'll see what everyone else says.
You know im always up for this.
Banned for having a disco Birb
I added some Character Sheets if you wanna have a go?
Nobody seems interested...
"My name is Optimus Prime. You have been sent to this planet as advanced scouts for The Arc. Cybertrons last, best hope for survival. I cannot guarantee your safety, i cannot guarantee that what you find on this planets local wildlife to be accommodating, i cannot even guarantee that you will ever see our beloved Cybertron again, but what i can guarantee is that your mission is of utmost importance to all Cybertronians, a fighting chance at survival. Your mission will be to arrive, evaluate the locals and survey. You are not to message home, lest the Decepticons find the location of our new colony, you are to gather intelligence and await further orders until contacted. May Primus protect you."

The crux of this is going to be a "Kids on Bikes" Style RP where you all play as a bunch of kids living in a small city in England that one day, stumble upon some Autobots that have come to Earth after escaping The War on Cybertron in order to build a new colony that the Autobots can use to live in peace. You befriend these Robots who then disguise themselves as vehicles around the town and work with the kids to defeat Decepticons and other threats to this little city.

Pretty much, choose a transformer (Canon, reimagining of a canon character or OC) and a kid archetype. You get both of them.


I've had this idea for a while, but I've been thinking about running the Star Wars Sequel Trilogy, but... You know, not shit.

This i was planning on running using Star Wars Saga Edition rules, partly because they are similar enough to D&D so that anyone can easily learn it, but also because all of the rules are free and online, because the game is in rights hell and will never ever be printed officially again so it's pretty much gone into the public domain.

The story is based on a writing exercise I did with some friends based on the idea of "Fix the Sequel Trilogy while changing as little as possible" So, some events have been recontextualized and others have been swapped in chronological order of events to make it flow better. But as many of the key events have been kept with as little as possible "Just completely changed from the ground up."

Background story: After the destruction of the Second Death Star, The Galactic Civil War continued to rage across the galaxy with the Empire getting more and more fractured, whole the Rebellion became more united. By 6ABY, the Republic had set up its capitol on Hosnian Prime, officially re-organizing into the New Republic. By the end of the war in 9ABY, both sides had exhausted each other economically. Both sides quickly realized 1 singular truth: "If one side won the war, they would only do so by utterly bankrupting themselves and then collapsing." As such, both sides, The New Republic under Supreme Chancellor Mon Mothma and Imperial Regent Cassio Tagge met and their diplomatic enterages hammered out a treaty of cesession of hostilities between the two factions. The Republic's focus of freeing population centers seemed to gel well with the Empires focus on keeping resource producing worlds. The Empire Trading away 10 systems in return for Kuat, 15 systems for Kessel, ETC.

After all was settled, the Republic had become a massive population center with agricultural worlds that were more than sufficient to feed themselves, but war resources were few and far between. Whereas the Empire had grabbed a considerable amount of resources, but it turned out that they had neglected keep enough agricultural worlds (Specifically because most of the important ones had been pro-Rebellion). This entered a long period of Imperial-Republic cooperation. Tagge being a logistical genius has turned the once beaten and bloodied Empire into a new Economic Superpower and with the Republic also having grown to become powerful, if a little too large for its own good. That being said, the sheer numbers of Republic warships, even if a little out of date, make them more of a match for the Empire if push ever came to shove.

Now, there are stirrings within the Empire. Rumours of a faction calling themselves "The First Order" getting new ships, new Stormtrooper armours, new weapons development. Now, as our story begins, the New Republic agent Poe Dameron flies to the planet Jakku, a planet inside of Imperial territory where a secret meeting has been arranged with an unknown contact willing to give top secret information on a potential new war that, if gotten into Republic hands, could end the threat here and now.

The Factions of note:
Knights of Ren: the Empires Force Sensitive faction, based off of the Jedi Order, however, they do not use Lightsabers. Vibro-Weapons, Force Pikes, Blasters, almost anything else. It is led by the mysterious being called "Kylo Ren" who is the only one of them to use a Lightsaber. He wears a black mask and a voice filter.
The First Order: A special forces faction within the Empire led by the mysterious "Snoke" they have unique ships, weapons and Stormtrooper armour.
The Jedi Order: Gone. 10 years ago, there was a terrible accident at their new temple on Yavin 4. Grand Master Luke Skywalker and his students were supposedly killed.

Players needed:

Poe Dameron: Ace Pilot of indeterminate race (Player Choice) he is an agent working for the New Republic Intelligence service.
Finn: Human Stormtrooper currently attached to the First Order. He is an Imperial Patriot who is loyal to Tagge.
Rey: A human Imperial citizen living in the undercity of Coruscant. She has Force Powers but is deathly afraid of them due to the rumours of the Knights taking any and all Force Sensitive beings. She has been working on Starships all her life.
BB-8: An Astromech droid belonging to Poe.

To be honest, the only characters NEEDED to start this RP off are a Finn and a Poe. I have some base character sheets for the characters depending on whoever wants to play. Or, if you want to make your own character sheet, all of the rules for character creation are right here but right here and now, I'm looking to gauge interest in this idea.
Fuck it, bumping to see if anyone is interested?
@Dragonfly 9@Duthguy So, what kind of RP would you guys prefer? So far i have the following idea's, and "I'm fine with whatever" is an incredibly unhelpful answer, "Preferably B, but i'm also good with A" is a good format for an answer.

A) Traditional Party RP: There is a story about characters going across the different timelines on some kind of adventure, exploring the could have beens and might haves along the way to the greater goal.
B) Nation RP: Pretty much, the RP takes place in 1 specific universe where each player gets to decide one faction that they control, be it G.I. Joe, Cobra, Decepticons, Autobots, Jem and her band, the Space Knights, the Wild Force Power Rangers, the Wind Ninja Academy, the Arashikage Clan, Earth Coprs, ETC. Conflict stems from the clashing of world governments and changing allegiances. The Joes may one day get orders from the president that those guys in Angel Grove cannot be allowed to keep their Colossal Assault Vehicles and that they will surrender them to the US Government. D'Compose might manage to infect Matt Tracker and send out orders for M.A.S.K. to attack Earth Corps.
C) Group Storytelling: Each player gets a whole world to control. They decide how it works. Maybe the Rangers, Joes, Autobots, Holograms, Earth Corps, Space Knights and the like have all been rolled into 1 grand Earth Defence Command? Maybe this is the bad timeline, where Cobra Commander is President of the World, Megatron rules Cybertron with Optimus' head on his throne, the Misfits are the one true girl-band at the top of the charts and Jem is being made to write their songs? Maybe it's a world that has only just started to learn about the new and weird stuff going around. In any case, some great big extra dimensional threat is about to rear its ugly head and all of these timelines are about to become intimately aware of each other.
D) Free Exploration: You chose character/characters that you control. You work for your respective leaders and travel this strange world at your leisure. Team up with allies, fight enemies, do what you will. Just know that, every so often, your higher ups will demand things from you.
