so i herd u liek planning arr-pees {RP PUBLIC PLANNING THREAD}


Recommended Posts

Okay and all we've seen in Next Dimension is Artemis, and as for the gold saints they are simply to strong so I wanted it to show the rise of weaker knights to become stronger but of course the gold saints would be important but they would be a defensive force not offensive. PM me if you have any ideas that you think would make it better I'm still in the planning stages.

Alright, I have a few questions I'd like to ask...

 

Number 1: Which do you guys think most people would prefer, a Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann RP, or a Genesis of Aquarion/Aquarion EVOL RP?

 

Number 2: Should I do the selected RP before, during, or after the current timeline, or in a separate timeline altogether?

 

I have plans for each, I just need to know which is more appealing "at-a-glance".

What's a Persona?

 

Pokémon RP sounds good. I thought it was going to be a Mystery Dungeon one where people can RP as Pokémanz, but there's already a game like that.

 

I love this topic, it's mostly about "I drop my own stuff and ignore everyone else's". <_<

 

So I'm repeating my question.

Would people here be interested into a murder mystery RP where the main story is told in a different perspective in different arcs and of course different things happen?

Title will probably be "The Curse of the Deadly Nightshade" (based on the plant) and inspired by Higurashi/Umineko/07th Expansion stuff.

However, since it's an interactive RP and not a fanfic where I could just drop everything I want, I need a simple setting where people can be creative.

Any idea on the kind of setting you'd like to see?

 

(Everything is clichéd and has been done already, but meh.)

Unless the enemies even exceed such stats will that idea even work.

 

And I wouldn't mind joining the murder mystery RP. And what exactly do you mean by "setting"?

 

Well the background/place it takes place in.

Higurashi is set in a village with an annual deity festival, Umineko is set in a mansion on an island.

I think the new 07th Expansion novel is about a school, so that's out.>_>

 

ANYway, I was thinking about an old hotel in an old city or about the music industry.

Either way, it needs to have "barriers" (physical or mental) and be fitting enough to let people get killed there.=3

 

I have the writing style I want to use down (since almost everyone writes...the same way these days?O_o''), but I'm not sure on the setting yet.

If anyone has an idea on what he'd like to see, I'm a taker. The earlier, the better (or else I'm going to stay with the hotel or the music industry).O_o

Probably not.

And there will be no Mystery Dungeon.

But I am having trouble with the dating system.

You see, only 1 specific date is given in the entire series: June 20, 1969, when man landed on the moon. (The same in our time.)

Otherwise, the series could have had any calendar scheme.

Should I use that date a la Chrono Trigger, setting 1995 as the Gen I date and working my way there, as, according to the remakes, Gens I and III as well as Gens II and IV happen roughly around the same time, or dismiss him as an old coot and come up with something involving the fall of the Aleph civilization?

Seems a bit cliche for a hotel. Perhaps a neighorhood no longer on the map? Or just a house that leads to having any new owners to be killed. Nobody ever tells any new owners about what happens to the people in it. They just expect to adapt to the situation and attempt to make it out alive. OR...

 

If any of you have heard of Heavy Rain, which is a video game based on using real-life movements to make the gaming experience seem like you're actually doing what you're seeing, the story itself is very good for a mystery game. And maybe you can do something similar. I can pull up the link to have you get a grasp of what the story is, but I'm not sure if you would go with it. What do you say?

  • Let us assume that Generations I and III occur in 1995, when the first games were released. Then, 10 years later, the events of HG/SS and Platinum occur, bringing us to 2005.
  • Now, let us look at Generation V. It is shown that Caitlin from the Gen IV Battle Frontier moved to Unova to become a member of the Elite Four. Also, the TR member who stole the Machine Part from the Kanto Power Plant is shown to live in Icirrus City as well, and has a son. Considering the facts that it must have taken at least one year for the Team Rocket Member to have a son, factoring in the time it would have taken to reach the region, find the woman he fell in love with, and move to Icirrus City, let's bring up the total to an additional 2 years, placing us in 2007.
  • Then, there is the fact that Caitlin has noticeably physically matured from the small child/pre-teen in Gen IV to the older teenager/twenties-ish woman we find in Gen V. So, we should probably play it safe and add about 7 or 8 years, giving us a 2014-2015 time frame. This also accounts for the amount of time that the former TR member and his wife to raise his son, who would logically be about 7 years old at the youngest.

Did that help, Charlotte?

Well, the neighboorhood no longer on the map is basically Higurashi and Okami Kakushi too, even though I don't remember if that aspect was mentioned or not.

So I don't really want to use it, since it was already done in an extensive way. (Well, everything has been done already, but that in particular.)

I was thinking about a similar old city, where time seems to have stopped, but since it would be hard to get enough people for a representative population, we need a building or at least something where the action is centered.

 

A folklore-ish festival (with fortune tellers and other things) would have been fine too, but it would be iffy to explain why these certain people in the RP are involved into something and the other visitors aren't. In a building of some sorts, hotel or any other kind, the number wouldn't be so important.

 

And sure, I'm going to look into it. Feel free to send the link in that other PM convo we have open.

It did immensely! ^_^

However, it is known that Gen II takes place 3 years after Gen I, so we could then move it from 2 10-year gaps to

So, let's space Gens I/III, II/IV, and V in 1996 (the year in our time Pokemon Red/Green came out in Japan), 1999 (Gold/Silver's Japanese release), and 2010 (Black/White's Japanese release), respectively.

Now, according to a timeline I found, Colosseum and Gale of Darkness take place 5 years apart, and since Colosseum takes place in between the first two sections, let's give it a date of 1998, and Gale of Darkness a date of 2003.

Now, should we add the Ranger games, or not?

According to the timeline, the Aleph civilization fell

Well the thing with a Dr. Who RP is that you can do it 1 of 2 ways either with time lord(s) going through time which makes interaction between 2 or more groups either way to easy or difficult or you can have it be an adventure of The Doctor which means almost everyone is useless except him because they are ignorant of what is really going on, and in my opinion I don't think anyone is crazy enough or smart enough to play a believable doctor. Plus we Char(lotte) already has a pokemon time travel RP in the works so a second tie travel RP would be weird.

First off, I plan to make it with the Doctor, and 1 or 2 other Time Lords others to start off with, plus a few companions. To avoid everything becoming confused and whatsnot, everyone will be travelling to the same place. Also, the RP will be focusing as much om the companions as on the Time Lords. They play a major role as well.

May I just mention briefly that having to RPs with a same basic idea - ie time travel - is hardly wierd. Besides, if the Doctor Who RP were made with that, there are two different shows to choose from. Some might even choose both. Heck, this is YCM. Expect the unexpected.

 

Otherwise, I'm absolutely horrible at helping others with their ideas... -.-

 

 

Anyways, I've been working on an RP idea. It is actually me expanding on the idea of an existing idea on this forum. I am intending to post it elsewhere (once the owner gives me permission) but I wanted the input of people here.

CnC appreciated.

 

So, we have Nature. The controller of the worlds enviroment, that can keep us in line.

Nature has a few little helpers across the planet, namely prophets and prophetesses. They help Nature to decide when to do something in particular, and can inform her of the future of the planet and how to work with it/around it.

Until this point, most is as it would be. A few wars here and there, peace elsewhere. General shenanigans of humans.

Then the helpers of Nature reveal a frightening dim vision to Nature itself. A terrifying force of evil looms on the horizon, and only a group of certain individuals and co. would be able to save the world from said evil.

All of the helpers convene in an area where they were met by an embodiment of Nature. The future is discussed at length. No solution could be found.

Then one prophet makes a breakthrough. He shares the vision he had. The vision showed that, at some point in the rather near future, certain individuals would possess a strength that would be required in the fight against the looming threat. The problem was that the strength would be required a millenium in the future, when the strength would have long faded.

The only way they could think of to keep the strength alive was to kidnap these individuals when their strength reached peak, and keep them in a hidden chamber in a deep sleep.

The strength reached it's peak. The individuals were taken. Some in the middle of conversations, others from their beds. All across the world they came.

They were taken to the cavern and hid safely. Nature would watch over them until such time their strength was required.

 

A few years afterwards, an evil known as the OtherWorld arrived. They had been sending spies to Earth for a while, gathering information of every weapon that was commonly used. They had learned how to combat these weapons. Against the armies of Earth, they were invincible.

A war was fought that only lasted a few days. The OtherWorld won, and started to tear down the large, major cities of the world. All scraps of human reign was erased. A new era began. An era of fear and anger.

 

The year is 3025. It has been many many years since the OtherWorld took control. Rebel factions sprout up across the world, each vowing to defeat the leader of the OtherWorld, who is known only as Alias. But each rebellion ends quickly. Each rebeal faction pulled up at its roots. Even then, more sprout up in their place.

Nature has decided to release its saviors. They awake in a cave with twelve doors. Each door is marked with a different symbol. And each door it locked tight. Not even the strongest person could tear them down and force them open.

 

However, that is not all the cavern holds.

Also in the cavern are twelve different weapons. Each one is something no OtherWorld being would expect. And each of the saviors recognises at least one weapon, and takes one for themselves.

Next to the weapons are twelve gems are varying colors. Each one is different than the one before. And each one opens a door to the outside world.

 

The time has come.

Time for twelve

to save their world

It will not, however

be the world

they remember...
