So this is a setting that I created to run a Dungeons and Dragons game with my friends that was meant to shake up the typical scenario you might see in one of those games. If you haven't played Dungeons and Dragons before, the average situation is a group of would-be heroes going out and saving the world one village/town/kingdom at a time with your usual fantasy tropes and lore. Of course, that's a tried and true way of telling a story, but I wanted to try something different. What's it like to be the bad guy?

To be clear, I'm writing this as a check to see what people's thoughts are on this idea, so I'm not saying this will be a tabletop type of roleplay (although if folks are more interested in that I've got no objection to it). If you prefer a more story-focused game or want to play a more tabletop game with rules and dice and such, please let me know! I would be okay with either taking the role of a GM or participating directly and letting the story flow wherever it goes.

It should be noted that this would contain some mature elements like violence, unsavory characters doing unsavory things, and anything you might expect from a story centered around crime.

Now for the setting:

Jerick is a sprawling port city that exists in a world of fantasy creatures, magic, intrigue and most importantly, crime. It is a city that made its fame being the major hub of trade of all kinds in this part of the world, and when I say "all," I mean it. Jerick's laws are rather... loose. Gold is the lifeblood of the city and any means of exchanging it go within reason. Necromancy, slavery, and many other things considered taboo in neighboring kingdoms and states are allowed within the walls of Jerick, and all of these are used to the benefit of those cutthroat enough to take advantage of them: legally or otherwise.

Despite the fantasy elements, this setting is actually fairly modern in terms of its tone. Magic and technology are used to make a city where horse-drawn carriages exist into a metropolis not unlike New York, complete with political intrigue, corruption, and organized crime.

The main idea of the campaign is for the players to be part of one of the criminal organizations in the city vying for power, the Ludovico Family. Is your character an ambitious cat-burglar looking to make a name for themselves? Or a former paladin cast out from his order, barely scraping by who's tired of playing the honest game and getting nothing in return? A wizard looking to use their magic for a profit?

Anyway, that's the basic outline of the setting that hopefully catches your imagination. I've been working on this setting for a while now and have a fairly fleshed out picture of the different factions and inner workings of the city in mind. To avoid making this thread a huge wall of text I plan on putting out more details upon request if interest is high enough, including a writing sample to jog the imagination.

Please, ask any questions you'd like and let me know what you think!
Hey, if you're still looking for partners, I might be interested in joining.
Hey, I also love Game of Thrones, and I'm looking for some RP goodness.

I'm interested in something similar to GoT, medieval fantasy stuff in general, and the Gunslinger plot seems pretty cool as well. Let me know if you're still looking or you're interested.
I'm totally down for a Fallout RP. Let me know if you're still looking!
Hey guys, it's ya boy Pangusman looking for a partner to do a Fallout RP. I've been out of the game for a while, and I'm looking to try my hand at some RPs once again. I've had a hankering for an RP based on the Fallout series for a long time and now I'm checking to see if anyone is interested.

For anyone unfamiliar that is interested, here is a (very) brief rundown of the lore behind the Fallout series leading up to the events of the games:



Now that you're all caught up, on to the RPs. A few things that I should mention as preferences first, though:

1. I prefer to write decent sized posts, maybe 3-4 paragraphs if possible, maybe more, maybe less. I tend to write novels for intro posts, but as long as there is some thought put into a post I don't mind very much how long it is. If I had to classify it I would probably say my style would be High Casual to Advanced, but to be honest it would lean more towards the former. Good grammar is a must for me, but I'm not one to split hairs on verb tenses or whatever the hell. I wouldn't expect any more from a partner than I would for myself, so don't worry.

2. I go through spurts of creativity, so I would very much appreciate a good back-and-forth of story ideas and plot suggestions to keep me on track. My biggest problem with consistency comes from writer's block, so I need a healthy exchange of ideas so that we can keep advancing the plot and building up the world from post to post. On a side note, I may not post every day, and I will try to let you know if I am not feeling inspired or if I won't be posting due to something coming up. That's something I will try to improve about my RPing as it has been a weakness of mine to let an RP go without notice. Never again!

3. I'm a big fan of romance, and I'm looking for a female partner for this if possible. Of course, it shouldn't be something shoe-horned in. An organic flow is important to any story. On the topic of sexual or otherwise adult themes like violence, gore or anything of the sort, I'm game for anything. I'm not one for censorship, and realism is important to me as well, so all aspects of life are included. Fallout itself is a mature property that delves into many of these topics, so it fits like a glove regardless.

4. I prefer PMs over threads.

5. At the moment I am most interested in an RP centered in the New Vegas setting because I love that Western-style Fallout goodness. On top of that, there are a lot of avenues to explore in terms of characters and story that are not as fleshed out in Fallout 3. Either way, I would love some input and ideas for story lines, something we can come up with together that works for the both of us.

So that's about it! I've been looking for a solid Fallout RP for a long time, and I'm pretty excited for it. PM me or message me in this thread if you're interested and we can hash out any details you'd like. I'm lookin' forward to some good times with y'all. I'm a cowboy now. Yeehaw.



There's your freshly dank meme of the day, and I shall get to work on my CS.

Maybe.

gon get me dat Eclipse leader spot bro


Gonna have to dispute the use of "freshly" and "dank" there.
I'm interested too! I'm always down for some Mass Effect. I'll be keeping tabs on this.
I'm always down for some Mass Effect! Totally gonna be an Elcor assassin.
I'm very down for this, I'm a fairly new DnD player with a few half-finished campaigns under my belt. I've been a DM for a few of them, and a player in others. Right now I'm just trying to expose myself and get as much experience with how the game works and how to DM especially so this will be awesome for me.

I've never played DnD over text though, so I may make some mistakes, but I'm interested. Let me know when we're starting if you haven't already.
Hey, I'm interested in the "We're Rebels?" plot. I like the idea of that dynamic and the rebellion sounds like a cool twist to spice it up. Send me a PM if you want to hammer out the details!
