Is anyone familiar with the card game Munchkin (and it's various expansions), by Steve Jackson games? It's a mega-popular card game, that is like Dungeons and Dragons lite. "Kill the Monsters - Steal the treasure - Stab your buddy." Heres the official website.

http://www.worldofmunchkin.com/

Anyway, I want to do a MUNCHKIN ROLE-PLAY. In the RP, your character would be a person playing a game of Munchkin, and by extension, the character in Munchkin. Except the character in munchkin is in an alternate universe that is directly governed by what happens in games of Munchkin. It's called the Munchkin Universe. The RP'ers would just have to be trustworthy and not just "draw" good cards all the time or always "roll" enough to avoid bad stuff. I would assume that the players have every normal munchkin expansion pack, and I would have a custom munchkin card app. Would it get many people?

I've gotten tired of the 5D's plot being repeated over and over again. So I am changing things up.

No Signers. No Synchros or Xyzs. And no Turbo Dueling.

We'll be kicking it old school. VERY old school. So old school, in fact, that we're not even going to even bother with the actual card game.

Remember Millennium World? Remember how the monsters just...fought? Well, I'm bringing that back. In spades.

FUND IT

FUND IT YOU SON OF A b****

I've never been a fan of an RP with LOTS AND LOTS OF CHARACTERS because after a few posts everyone splits off and then it just ends with one or two people monopolizing the thread and they can't move forward because one of their important characters was left 14 pages behind so the RP just dies.

 

If anyone ever makes an RP with only 3 or 4 people, and KEEPS IT WITH ONLY 3 OR 4 PEOPLE! that would be perfect IMO.

[Damiano Tosē]

I say, let their be old school Yu-Gi-Oh dueling.

[Damiano Tosē]

Let there be old school Yu-Gi-Oh dueling.

@ Zarkus: Interestingly, my idea did NOT come from that comic, but that is surprisingly hilarious!!!

 

@ PikaPerson01: How about I introduce the semi-old-school element of a GM? I could GM the Men, Metal, and Monsters RP, and 4-5 others could be a squad.

 

Needed roles for Men, Metal, and Monsters players:

Pvt. Solomon Muto (Millennium Puzzle holder and the protagonist)

Sgt. Thomas Wheeler (The squad's leader who hates Sol at first, but becomes his friend.)

A Psychic Duelist (Preferably female)

A Nazi Sleeper Agent (Being mind-controlled by Hitler and doesn't know it)

Shadi (Wants the Millennium Items back)

[Damiano Tosē]

I'll take on the role as Solomon Muto.

[Premier Alexander Romanov]

I need to put up a OOC page...

[Damiano Tosē]

I can help you with that. If you need a co-host, I'm here.

[Hydra of Ages]

I'd be willing to play Shadi. I'd be all like, "Screw you war, I'm from ancient egypt". That'd be fun.

 

Wouldn't mind playing Psychic Duelist or Sleeper Agent either.

[Sar19]

...he he he...are you ready? I'll explain everything about "The City Of Ember" in the actual RP

 

[spoiler=City Of Ember | The Other Way Out]

City Of Ember | The Other Way Out

 

The year is 241 a.a. (after-apocalypse) in the underground city of Ember. This is the same time that Doon Harrow and Lina Mayfleet first discovered about everything that would lead them on a quest to the outside world. At the same time, there was a group of kids. They were no ordinary kids, of course. Like Doon and Harrow, they were adventurous, observant, smart, wise, skilful. Their parents aided Doon and Lina’s fathers on their mission to try and escape the crumbling city of Ember.

 

When Doon and Lina escaped, they thought that the map they had was the only clue as to how to escape the city. Really, though, there was another. During the time of the builders, an adolescent boy existed and had big dreams. He wanted to design another way out of the city in case the first one didn’t work. He was a genius. The boy built an underground maze (more underground) that lurked under the city hall. The maze was filled with traps and puzzles that only a smart person could break. He wanted a smart person to survive and then clear the path for everyone else. He designed the maze and built it using material the Builders were using. The maze would lead everyone out of Ember.

 

The maze was complete. To make it a memorable piece of architecture, the boy named it “Delta Labyrinth”, since Delta is the Greek letter for D and D is the first letter in the son of Athena, Daedelus’, name.

 

It wasn’t easy getting there, and was even more so getting out. The boy left behind clues and hints everywhere, from the city hall to all around Ember. The boy then vanished into the labyrinth with enough food and drink to last him a lifetime. He stayed there, and his skeleton remains inside.

 

Now, the group of children must band together and brave the horror the city is going through in order to find the maze and escape the city of Ember. It is the other way out.

oops, didn't mean to post.

[CrystalCyae]

RPs with less people ARE better in terms of keeping everyone around with something to do, but can be horrible in terms of activity. Serebii is a prime example of this, considering they are less active in the RP section than us, I do believe.

 

Anyway, back on topic;

I have a few RP ideas I feel like just tossing in the open, just to see how much you guys enjoy the idea or whatever.

1

A Wizard101 Academy RP. We have a few students, maybe 5-7 or something, along with a few teachers. (I'd prefer people that want to be teachers also being students, as that would coincide with my like of lesser ammounts of RPers). It'd basically follow the same basic storyline as the actual game does, but of course we have side quests, and teams. Along with baddies, MAUAHAHAHA. Though I'd have strict rules on the cards everyone could use. And when I say "Strict" I mean STRICT. So now Yusei Fudo draws. : P

 

2

A Legend of Dragoon RP. From my limited knowledge, LOD is based in a more medievil time. No guns, ect. But hey, I make my changes. So rather than a more distant past, this RP would take place in the present; All you gun lovers can have your stupid guns.

Now, because it's the future, the characters from the video game CLEARLY aren't here, but the Winglies (Human arch-nemisis) are. They have, with their magic and weaponry, taken over major human cities, like NY and London and GODKNOWSWHEREELSE. Humans, despite having the same weaponry, have fallen to the superior spells. But, in this time of darkness, someone has re-discovered the 6 Dragoon Stones (Or Orbs. Whatev floats your boat). Each orb has the power of a long slain dragon, and has a different element tied. Because it's only 6 stones, only 6 people can sign up. Not including me, who will be controlling the NPCS and baddies.

6 people have been chosen by the orbs, and armed with weaponry and the Magic of the Dragons, they must lead the free humans into battle, to reclaim the cities rightfully theirs.

 

 

So tell me which idea you like best. I've never played LOD, so I kinda prefer 101, but I'll do what makes the potential RPers of this community happy

[Premier Alexander Romanov]

Why would you have a forum-based RPG based on a free MMORPG?

Many have tried Club Penguin, Neopets, and Minecraft RPs. Why not?

People enjoy while it lasts.

Jirachi guy: I vote 2, and I suggest you look up a Canadian named Arkada. He's currently doing a Let's Play of LoD.

[lugia61617]

hmm...I'm kinda considering making a roleplay set in the ZeXal timeline, but with no references to Yuma or any of that - it would be in a different location and Numbers would not be known of. The only problem is, I can't work out an antagonist. I'm certainly not going Waking the Dragons again, as much as it tempts me (I love that arc too much, seriously), and I was thinking of a return of the Light of Destruction, however I'm worried it may seem a bit...repetetive...Think anyone could help me out with the antagonist and plotline, please? I'd be happy to have a co-host, too. I think i have a sketchout of the main character - Tobi Yukaida, a 4th-year at Asako High, and the grandson of Prof. Asako, the headmaster. He inherited his grandfather's "Digihuman" Deck and managed to become a top duelist at the school. However, whatever the antagonist is, it corrupts him and he begins doing whatever it is the antagonist is planning...which I've yet to decide on (taking over humanity, creating something that would create a new god, MAKING the main character a new god...hmm...I actually like that idea, since it's a little Shin Megami Tensei...and yes, I am thinking this up as I type). Meanwhile, other characters - most of whom will eventually meet Tobi, somehow - will need to stop/save/kill him and/or whatever is causing the corruption the only way that can do anything in their world - dueling. Although, if they don't want to they could join Tobi's side (willing or not, whether they've met him or not) or just do whatever, but it should contribute to the plot and not go off-the-wall.

Bleh. Tempted to try a proper mecha RP, w/ original robots. Problem? I need someone to bounce ideas/possibly help me.

Another RP Idea

[spoiler=Idea]

 

The beginning

In the beginning their existed "It" a being a powerful and sad living for eternity being alone it never knew what love was like. After long thought "It" used its power to created 7 places later known as "The 7 Heavens" to help it understand love. After its creation "It" felled the places with 7 incarnation of its own thought. From those 7 beings many other came into creation seeing it creation "It" being to fall into a deep slumber, laying in the center of the 7 heavens. The children of the "it" Buri (Norse), God (Christian), Amun (Egyptian), Amenomina (Shinto), Adi Shakti(Hindu), Chaos(Greek), and an unknown 7th . They each wrote a absolute law stating "None of the heaven's shel be intertwined" all agreeing to the laws they then set laws for each of their respected land.

 

The child

After centillions of years past since the primal law was made. On the 666 day of the celestial calendar a child was born between two heavens breaking the primal law. Gathering the 7 children could fell the intense power from the child chaos stated that the child could easily destroy the balance of the heavens with little ease and should be erased. Agreeing the Children throw "The child" from the event horizon sadden the child's mother and father dove in after it. The 7 children knew that nothing could survive the the event and decide to return to their kingdom's. unknown to the children the child's parents used to last of their power to create a soft landing for it which became known as the world of man. Realizing that the child survived chaos sent his armies to destroy it, who where quickly disposed of. Enraged Chaos attempted to descend to the world of man, but was stopped by the others. Using their combined powers they attempted to destroy the child but was unable. The children then placed 666 seals on the child limiting its power to that of a normal human and casted it into the cycle of rebirth while not being able to return to the heavens.

 

Falling heavens

Each him the child was reborn its anger grew and grew. It came up with plan absorbing few souls every time he was about to be reborn he could regain his power. After absorbing his 1000th soul the child ripped open the gate into the 7 heaven and marched his armies though it they were met by chaos. Who quickly laid wast to half of his armies enraged the child absorbed the souls of h8s fallen armies and charged chaos. After a long battle chaos fell along with his kingdom. One by one the the children fell along side kingdom upon his march to the 7th kingdom he was met by the 7th child. The seventh child attempted to calm it but could not revealing its name to the child two begun to fight. The battle lasted what appeared to be millennia as the 7th child begun to fall it call on the power of it's fallen brethren drawing in their souls. Using the last of power it seal "the Child" into it's own dimension cursing the the 7th as it was sealed "The Child" druged the 7th along with him. With the 7 children no longer alive the heavens begun to disappear knowing that the existence could not survive with the heavens 7 warriors took control of the kingdoms.

 

Years later as the world of man moved for wed a rifted opened from that rift several orbs fell and integrated itself within the bodies of the living. As countless orbs fell to the realm of man in heaven "The Child's" Army was killing everything in sight in an attempt to unseal "him".

 

*I don't know if I should make the orbs fallen spirits

Anyone heard of the The God of High School manhwa? Mainly because I want to set up a roleplay for it

'Fraid not, sorry. If you make a spinoff or AU, though, we probably wouldn't have to know about it to play.

 

Bleh. Tempted to try a proper mecha RP, w/ original robots. Problem? I need someone to bounce ideas/possibly help me.

If we're working through PM or Skype or Windows Live Messenger whateveritscalled, I'm all ears. Except the brain to think with, and the fingers to type a reply with, and the eyes to read the PM's with... Er, I'll help. PM me first, though. That way I'll actually notice.

 

anyone?

The idea gets problematic if you're going into cosmologies. Mind you, that goes for pretty much every Three problems specifically, listed in reverse order of severity:

 

1) Wouldn't it be more convenient to use Allah than Christ's dad? You've got a lot more text to work with, not to mention an actual devil (and therefore a reason in the world to use 666 for anything).

 

2) The big one, and the one that ruins most divine Mega Crossovers: Not all mythologies are created equal.

Chaos, for example, is the primordial universe; she's identical to the world without form and void that God played with in the first verses of Genesis. Yggdrasil, however, predated Audhumla and by extension Buri, so they're further down the chain than God. Or, in other words, Chaos > God > Buri. Adi Parashakti, depending on her interpretation, could be greater than Chaos, less than Chaos but greater than God, equal to God, or less than God; in any case, she's working with a completely different metaphysical framework, since the Indians saw the world as a much more orderly and harmonic place than the Europeans. Amenominakanushi seems to be less than God, as the first inhabitant of Heaven, but greater than Buri, who ranks below Audhumla. The only convenient one is Amun, whose entire schtick is that he created himself.

 

3) Chaos can't be your villain because Chaos doesn't exist. To put it another way, Chaos is, in all of her incarnations throughout time, the persona given to the concept of a gap; separation; boundary (which makes Yukari Yakumo even more badass). I believe the word "Chaos" is etymologically linked to "chasm." You might say that Chaos is nothing; as I mentioned earlier, "without form and void," as the King James VI bible says, is a fairly good description of her. And yet, you can't go wrong with Chaos as being the ultimate representative of Greek mythology. I would make Buri the villain myself -- the he's a Viking, after all, and as the weakest and youngest of the Seven (assuming you don't have an actual twist in mind for the seventh deity), he wouldn't be as wise. (Also, I like imagining Odin as a Shego to Buri's Drakken.)

 

That said, this could go down. I will now engage in idle speculation based on a half-hour or so of research and, in the doing, hopefully give you some ideas as to how to use the fallen über-deities as plot devices:

*I picture Parashakti, as the embodiment of truth, harmony, and accepting wisdom, sitting back, letting things take their course, and never, ever actually losing.

*Chaos... really doesn't stand to be defeated so much, being nothing and all; rather, Olympus would probably fall, and Chaos would start interfering in the Child's plans once her angry sister/daughters wake her up.The nice thing about Chaos is that she's so abstract and universal, there's no way to actually touch her, so she makes for an excellent Deus Ex Machina if an RPer writes herself into a hole.

*Buri would be the one that attacked the child; he would actually be defeated and, if the seven deities are going to be those shounen characters that comment on the plot as it goes, would be the most in the dark about the RP's goings-on. Perhaps Buri and Parashakti's chatting could provide recaps and exposition as necessary.

*Amenominakanushi would be doing pretty much the same thing Buri did, only less aggressively.

*God might be the Parashakti to Amenominakanushi's Buri, or perhaps they could switch charges. God would be more aggressive and less aware than Parashakti, though, and would actually be pretty pissed at getting defeated; I imagine God would be the doler-out of plot-relevant power-ups as well.

*The self-created deity Amun is a really interesting one. He's the god of secrets and is beholden to nothing and no one (except Chaos, which is barely sentient anyway) -- he's an obvious choice for a wild card or double agent. Then again, he could just be sitting around doing nothing, beholden to the Child's wrath.

*The seventh deity is pretty obviously the Deus Ex Machina and Eleventh Hour Superpower as is, so...

 

...wow, now I want to write it. Or at least play it, if/when the cosmology is all ironed out.

 

With all due respect,
