CinnamonStar Posted December 12, 2011 Report Share Posted December 12, 2011 Haven't been in this section for a long time, but it looks good right now.I'm just REALLY missing the presence of real-life RPs that aren't about war and post-apocalypse and robots (though the latter is interesting, but yeah...).:/ So I've been thinking about setting up a Christmas-inspired RP. No zombies, rainbow-coloured deers and Santas, just human characters and what's happening in their lives. It sounds boring at first glance and I haven't gotten the details down yet, but you can actually pull a lot out of a real-life RP.(This is what I can do better btw, I suck at surviving zombie apocalypses and global breakdowns, so...) Anyone interested?=3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone interested?=3 Sort of. I find that any roleplay here without a specific directive tends to taper off pretty quickly, and with a 'real life' roleplay you can't really give much of a directive outside of... well, real life. Theoretically it'd be possible to constrain a setting to a specific part of reality without any fantastic elements at all (rp version of The Office? Food for thought...), but I've yet to see it done. Not to mention about 90% of the time it derails into ridiculous and forced romance between all the characters, typically without any sort of conflict whatsoever.

bury the year Posted December 12, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 12, 2011 I've seen a holiday party-themed RP take place on Serebii.net - I could sticky something like that as some time of event. A mega crossover from various RP universes, sorta say. People, feedback? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CinnamonStar Posted December 12, 2011 Report Share Posted December 12, 2011 Specific directive? I think it's easily possible though, if you take the zombies and monster invasions out and replace them with something based on reality.Or rather than invasions and post-apocalypse, let the world stand for a bit.Of course fantastical elements can still be there (not sure if I'll include them or not, we'll see), just no zombies or sparkle vampires.I don't have an idea down anyway, I'd just be interested into something in that direction. Pika's meta RP would be an example, but it's a bit late to jump in now.:S Like I said, I haven't visited this section for ages and have no idea about how fast a topic can derail and how people actually RP here.Forced romance and IDK-what is a no though, that's even worse than glueing some random yaoi/yuri couples together that have almost no interaction or common stuff. Maybe I'm just getting extremely girly and kitschy around that time of the year though.:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bury the year Posted December 12, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 12, 2011 I think it's less "forced" romance per se rather than people not knowing how to build it deliberately. But who knows. I'd be willing to set something celebratory up if everyone's willing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hydra of Ages Posted December 12, 2011 Report Share Posted December 12, 2011 Considering it seems to be literally the first thing that leaps to the roleplayer's minds the moment two characters of opposite gender meet, yeah, I'd call it forced. That was literally the think that sparked my interest in a list of cliches. Which I should probably start writing up now that I finally have some time on my hands. I'm game for something Christmas-y.

◇ Void ◇ Posted December 13, 2011 Report Share Posted December 13, 2011 I second a Christmas-y event for the roleplay section. It would be nice to take a break from the chaotic mutiverse and get characters together for the holidays. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kōsuke Ueki Posted December 13, 2011 Report Share Posted December 13, 2011 I feel like hosting a Pokemon RP. No idea what the plot's gonna be yet, but will update when I get any ideas :/ I can actually help you out with that, if you want. See, I originally had an RP that barely went through the first page, mainly because the plot wasn't really going anywhere (And I somehow lost interest in it a long time ago). It was also once a Fan Fic, but ideas were not flowing into me like it was supposed to, so I stopped it. I can PM you my ideas and see if we can both work together on it. I'd really like to bring this idea back, and maybe it can be a whole lot better than what I originally planned for it. What do you say? You in or what?

Barian Warlord Posted December 14, 2011 Report Share Posted December 14, 2011 I've been thinking of doing an Escaflone RP but I'm still working on the plot the big thing for me is for it to be before or after the show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bury the year Posted December 14, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 14, 2011 Mmm. On second thought, I've missed the timing for a Christmas RP, so would you like me to post a New Years-esque one where people can have all sorts of crazy drama? It'd be a forum-wide event like the other one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CrystalCyae Posted December 15, 2011 Report Share Posted December 15, 2011 I'm game for New Years celebratory thing. I'm guessing it'll be some sort of news years party, where it is ended off around New Year with a fireworks display.Or more.:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alice Moonflowyr Posted December 18, 2011 Report Share Posted December 18, 2011 Does anyone think it possible to start an Amber Diceless Roleplay on here? Google it if you havent heard of it, but for those who have, would it work? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barian Warlord Posted December 21, 2011 Report Share Posted December 21, 2011 Shadow Magus(the dark side of Aknadin's soul) survived the events dawn of the duel arc and has been working since then to unlock the power of the Millennium Tome, he couldn't recast the spell used to make the millennium items do to it having been done before. His plan this time is to break the seal on the Necrus World where being like Zork and the King of the Underworld originate from. With that seal breaking being from that realm begin entering earth but do to only extremely weak ones being able to slip though the cracks they are beatable though they can only be destroyed by a power from a world other then the one their in(that is why Zorc was killed and the king of the underworld sent back down over and over again). So now duelists have to find and stop Shadow Magus before he breaks the seal completely and all hell breaks loose. I have this much down which is the basic idea for a yugioh RP but I want to rewrite is so it sounds better, anyone willing to help??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lunar Origins Posted December 21, 2011 Report Share Posted December 21, 2011 Anybody other than me up for a Touhou roleplay? I know I'm notorious for not sticking to what I want to do, so I need someone to help me out with this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premier Alexander Romanov Posted December 21, 2011 Report Share Posted December 21, 2011 Yu-Gi-Touhou? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lunar Origins Posted December 21, 2011 Report Share Posted December 21, 2011 Yu-Gi-Touhou? N-no. I was thinking of something simple, something following the basic *plot* of Embodiment of the Scarlet Devil, only a little more variety in characters and an up to the strengths of those who are canon. It would be a very, very linear roleplay, but that's how I like things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merci Posted December 23, 2011 Report Share Posted December 23, 2011 I'm thinking of creating something called Fate/negative approach, which is basically a retcon of the events of Fate/zero and Fate/stay night, and replaying the fourth Holy Grail War however we like. Also, I'm replacing Kotomine Risei with some other random Kotomine. Thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PikMan Posted December 25, 2011 Report Share Posted December 25, 2011 I noticed there's been a lack of Final Fantasy RP's as of late. Every one I've seen always faded from existence due to lack of participation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thar Posted December 25, 2011 Report Share Posted December 25, 2011 How about an Elder Scrolls RP? Sounds like an adventure, and we can spam the arrow to the knee meme cut the heads of civilians off. :3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aesirson Posted December 27, 2011 Report Share Posted December 27, 2011 In a dimension not far from ours in the dimensional multiverse lies a dimension where every human is born with psychic powers. Here, the humans use Duel Monsters as weapons to wreak havoc and to conquer land. With all their wars and battles this dimensions universe has been ravaged by the power of the monsters, and thus the psychics seek to fuse their dimension with our's to restore it to its previous state. This would, however, include a couple of billion people dying. The only people able to prevent this from happening would be our world's psychic duelists, who are mostly extinct. The few who are still known are gathered in the Arcadia Remnants, and they're not very friendly towards other people. Our second hope would be the five new Signers, but no one knows who or where those are... I would require help to do this RP. Ideas? Thoughts?
