Okay, a question for all you RP GMs in this thread. Or two questions, as it were.

 

1) Would you use a computer program to assist in running your RP?

 

2) If yes, what features would be important to you?

 

1) Yes :D

 

2) A feature that it does the work for me according to my ideas (IMPOSSIBLE FEATURE ALERT!)

 

Anyway, I've been getting into MegaMan Star Force. Any ideas on how to make an RP around this?

1) Yes.

 

2) Participant lists, easy access to application bios, a story structure skeleton I can use as a reference...

 

 

I'm thinking about doing another RP, but I'm thinking about the setting first of all. It might be another entirely original one.

Any RPs made by Hydra would be awesome.

 

I had an idea of my own, actually.

 

The story takes us to the year 2036. Technology has gone skyrocket and the internet has evolved to the level of being a world of it's own. Unfortunately, this has also allowed different kind of viruses to breed and multiplicate in this "Web World", and with access to the entire internet one would think that the world would be thrown back into the 19th century. This is not the case, however, because a few people are born with a very special talent: to enter this world.

Hahaha

I was thinking about a (player) character database already, and... something to help with the story. Hmm....

To Mega Man:

 

Well, I say yes, do it.

 

To RP community:

 

Well it's been a real, REAL long time since I made an RP, so I have plans to release one sometime this month, and so far from what I notice, I haven't seen an RP like this around before, so I want to get your perpective on it.

 

The title is Soul Chronicle: WAR.

 

This RP -in my mind- is rather different form the RPs from that one that I usaully see. In this RP, their isn't an main character, good guys, or bad guys. There are simply "Characters." And the story isn't really that complicated, the plot tells about a group of indivisuals who experienced, experiencing, or knows someone who is currently serving in the war, and tell about the various things that, that person had to do. One person may have to killed a friend, because he defected to another enemy country, or a person is separated from their loved one(s) and dares to go back home while risking execution if he/she do.

 

There would be many types of characters, as players would have the choice of being the King of a country, to the lowest peasant who is an simple blacksmith, to everything in between. Or to give a little variety, RPers could even make up their own "Race" within the world of Soul Chronicle: WAR, such as a elf, indeginous people or a tree-giant.

 

The continent that everyone is fighting on is called Urth, and is home to 6 different countries (which I would either name them on my own, or let the King decide, who can be played by anyone). And the reason behind the war is that after each country was formed, the boundries of their countries were unevenly distributed by former Kings before them. So some countries had to little land to do anything with, or a country was really weathly, and an rival country wanted some of that wealth.

 

 

The main focus of Soul Chronicle: WAR isn't about a gourp people fighting, but it is about a group of indivisuals trying to make it through the war, or simple telling younger gernerations about their time within the war. Since this war was going for over 25 years.

 

Another group of people who are suffering from the war, are a group of indgenous people, who actually settled Urth before anyone else, but were ultimately overpowered, and submitted onto reservations. So within these varrying group of indgenous people, there are those who fight against all of the countries in the name of "Freedom," fight for the sake of their tribe, or simply fight for a better life in the "New World."

 

What do you guys think?

Tried something similar once. Turns out that without a linear plot and immediately obvious antagonist, players have no idea what to do after a couple posts. Even so, feel free to try it and see if it works for you.

 

In any case, I'm also going to be trying something a little different... for me, anyway. Normally, I'm pretty lax with applications, and have loose storylines that encourage players to be original, and come up with neat weapons, fighting styles and details on their own. Unfortunately, they never seem to live long enough for me to even introduce the main antagonist.

 

So I've decided to revert back to basics. A superficially simple plot on the surface, with easily distinguishable villains. A predetermined list of races and a class system, which will determine exactly what each player's specialties and powers are. A list of weapons and armors, the advantages and disadvantages as pertain to both, a list of enemies, and notes kept throughout the plot- which will develop far faster than any other RP that I've plotted out.

 

It's essentially a Tabletop RPG system without dice tosses, and I figure it'll let me keep control better than anything else. If I can keep control, I can keep the plot moving, and if I can do that, there's a better chance that it'll survive.

So school has started and I have actually a bit more time, I've decided I'm going to try another RP. Only there are two options here...

 

A. Restart New World Order. Sci-fi RP with a bunch of races/classes and a LOT of planned stuff. Only con is that it would take a while to restart.

 

B. Completely new RP, one with modern day mages and a unique chess theme. (Well, unique to YCM at least.)

 

Thoughts?

Chess theme seems interesting.

Chess theme seems interesting.

 

Well the theme would be the positions and the general hierarchy in the RP. Of course, characters wouldn't be that heavily affected by it as it's more of a plot thing.

 

Fenrir, although the chess themed RP seems interesting I want to remember that NWO was the RP with vikings, dragons AND dinosaurus, and that it was an awesome idea. You decide.

 

It was that, yeah.

 

The problem with NWO is that I would have to rework a loooot of stuff.

  • 2 weeks later...

I've been thinking of making an RP for a while now, and I think this is the perfect idea... what do ya think??? I will not take the part of the evil guy or the new director... but the little girl part will be mine...

 

[spoiler=Plot]NOTE: This happens about a decade after Yu-gi-oh! 5D's...

The Accel Synchro factory has exploded, destroying Daedelus Bridge, and separating New Domino into yet another part... they now call it "Daedelus". It has been a few years since the explosion of the Accel Factory... and due to Rex Godwin being terribly sick, he has not taken initiative and connected these three parts. Because of this, the people of New Domino city are tired and angry, while still trying to recover from the explosion. The people of Sattelite and Daedelus are growing tired and weak. The five Signers have moved away and are impossible to contact, so they cannot help this situation. The three cities now despise each other, and one man has taken this opportunity... he plans to bring back the Dark Singers! Rex Goodwin has finally decided that a new director shall take his place. Also, Psychic duelists have learned to control their power somewhat and the number of Psychic duelists has increased. One small girl in Daedelus is tired of living in darkness. She is trying to take a few people and create a dueling team to fight the darkness and despair. Will you follow in her footsteps, or will you attempt to thrive within the darkness? The decision is yours! Decide now!!!

Whoa. Hold on. Time to address the problems I've found so far:

1. Accel Synchro factory? Really?

2. Why is Rex Goodwin still alive? He f**king died!

3. When does this take place?

4. How are the Dark Signers coming back?

5. How is this different from the other Dark Signers Return RPs out there?

So hey i have desided to stop my yugioh rpg and start one about Katekyo Hitman Reborn two infact that go together. The first you are a bunch of criminals in the vendicare prison who end up forming a family to overthrough the vongola and enslave the entire mafia world. while the second one is about the adventures of the 11 boss and then when the vendicare prison one is over the characters will crossover into the regular one and they will become the villains if they escape. Or I was thinking of doing one just about Lifting the sport in Eureka seven and every day life including romances but i am not sure which one to do so if someone has a suggestion of which one i should just tell me.
