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

[Aix]

I would want to do a Raildex RP, cuz it's such a cool and versatile premise and you don't need to know about Raildex to join.

Basically, for those who don't know, it's a world where both magic and psychic ability exist, though the public doesn't know about the existence of magic. There had been a secret feud between magic/religion and science/psychics for centuries, but they've been able to (mostly) tolerate each other recently.

The main setting is Academy City, a large city built by scientists to mainly research and train espers (psychics) and being built by scientists, it is 20-30 years more technologically advanced than the rest of the world. 80% of the populace are students of all ages who are sent there at a very young age, away from their families.

I'm thinking of an arc-based RP where the magicians and scientists have decided to open a school together for peace-keeping purposes. There will be an overall plot to tie it all together but it's one that will be revealed bit by bit.

[Merci]

I noticed. Still, you don't have to have a lot of RPers to make an RP run smoothly. [acronym='And I know this 'cause Blu's RP's would fail miserably if it was false. He ALWAYS limits the max applicants to 4... or 5.']You can even as few as 4 and have no problems at all.[/acronym]

 

The problem is that the less participants we have, the more reliant we have to be on these few people. So if one is busy with RL stuff or simply gets lazy, then the entire thing collapses. Everyone has to be dependent on each other. When there are a ton of RPers, though, that's much less of a problem.

Seeing how many RPs involve school life (with something added), I had certain second thoughts about a Certain Similiar Idea and went with a certain other idea of a certain incomplete plan.

However, I have ascertained that this does smell like glory. It sounds like everyone will be in the same school, which makes the RP more organised.

[Aix]

One thing that I have thought of is the fact that only a very small percentage of espers are strong enough to have any sort of viable combat ability, and from the massive number of really weak magicians in Index, I would assume the same of magic. Anyone who is brave enough to try creating a Level 2 or lower esper or a weak magician would be left out of a lot of things, when action happens, they'll be asked to evacuate and stuff.

 

It's not a big problem, but did you think of anything when you intended to plan a Raildex RP? BTW, what if the plot you posted on the other page serves as one of the arcs?

 

 

Being an arc-based RP... Anyone have arc plots they want to contribute? PM me them to avoid spoilers. I have ones planned out, but you guys would probably be more interested in something you had a hand in.

I keep forgetting that. Level 3 Hydro Hands aren't very good in combat, and it takes a Level 4 Teleporter to teleport oneself.

This... may work. Well, this one sounds more interesting than mine to be honest.

If you have considered the possibility of making this occur in the canon-verse, perhaps canon arcs may do the trick. Sister's Arc so that everyone can keep a pet, Level Upper Arc, WWIII, and lots more.

Alright, maybe just a few. The RP does require originality. The only other disadvantage of using canon arcs is keeping mind of chronology.

[Aix]

Wiki should help me with chronology since the anime never mentions date or time and if they did, I would probably have forgotten.

 

What's the WWIII arc? I haven't seen Railgun S yet and I'm only in the middle of Index II.

 

 

Well, I'm asking because someone is likely to come up with something interesting, more so than stuff I come up with, and getting people involved more is more fun and keeps them interested.

 

So let me ask again: Is anyone interested in helping with or joining an Academy-type RP where you can have either psychic abilities or magic?

Also depending on people's preferences, we could be more like Railgun and have more slice of life and personal plots or go the Index path with more devious conspiracies and saving the world.

[Jolta]

LN only so far, unfortunately. World War III. It occurs rather late.

We don't have much SoL in the RP section. Although I would like a mix of both paths.

[Premier Alexander Romanov]

I have a brilliant idea for a Yu-Gi-Oh! RP that has a 5D's twist.

Duelists from all across the multiverse have been gathered for a tournament and split into teams (at least one of these teams being evil). They are to race across different Duel Dimensions, each based off of a Field Spell, and possessing that Field Spell's abilities. Whoever wins in that Dimension gains a Scion, a rare monster on par with the Egyptian Gods that is the ruler of that particular Duel Dimension. Whoever collects the most Scions will have a chance at being recognized as the best duelists in the multiverse, and receive gifts beyond their wildest dreams.

[Admiral_Stalfos19]

No offense Y-Tak, but that sounds just about as bland as all the other generic Yugiohs out there. And tournaments rarely go well to begin with :/

[Love of Ghibli]

I like the idea honestly if you take the whole tournament aspect of it away. The whole good vs. evil never really gets old and it could be fun.

[Lord of Chaos]

So let me ask again: Is anyone interested in helping with or joining an Academy-type RP where you can have either psychic abilities or magic?

 

I'll join once it is up and I may be able to contribute a little, but I'm not sure what all I could actually bring to the table.

[Premier Alexander Romanov]

I like the idea honestly if you take the whole tournament aspect of it away. The whole good vs. evil never really gets old and it could be fun.

It's actually not really good vs evil, but more like good vs good vs evil.

I was hoping there would be at least 3 teams, so one team could be the bad guys, while the other two teams could be rivals. Maybe throw in a fourth, morally questionable team in as well.

Yeah that sounds like it would rely on too many people being active and these days activity is a little more lax.

Alright. How should I structure this roleplay of racing through different worlds while playing card games at the same time?

[Love of Ghibli]

Why not just two teams and that way keep it simple. Then there could be some deeper plot that only the GM knows about and each team gets clues to revealing as they collect the special cards from varying dimensions. 

[Premier Alexander Romanov]

Alright.

Also, for the special cards, I am thinking something along the lines of having Earthbound Immortal-like effects.

Knuckle-cracking time. I'm trying to start my third RP on here, as the first two failed rather quickly. A couple people have mentioned interest in a Digimon RP, but here are my questions that have kinda prevented me from doing this:

 

1. What 'era', so to speak, should it be in? Should there be crests, digi-eggs, people turning into Digimon?

2. To that point, should I even have DigiDestined/Tamers? Or have it be straight Digimon?

3. Should I allow user-made Digimon? SHould I restrict what levels of Digimon there should be?

1. The Era where the kids transformed into digimon.(season 4)

2. DigiDestined 

3. I think user-made digimon could be really interesting, but it would need to be controlled

4. Do you need a co host?^^ 

[AnubisHaxx]

Anyone interested in a Homestuck RP? I've caught up with the entire comic so far and I know just about everything there is about it, so you know I can make this a great RP.

[Astolfo]

Just because you have the knowledge of something doesn't mean you can automatically make a good RP out of it. S:

[AnubisHaxx]

Challenge Accepted

[The Warden]

It's been tried, 3-4 times, all failures by people who know the comic much better than you do. No point in trying what's been failed.

[Aix]

Not to mention the fact that since you're new, no one will trust you to host a good RP or stay active. I suggest you RP a bit first before trying to create an RP yourself on this site.

[Merci]

Hmmm...while looking past at old RPs (I'm a strange kind of guy who likes to do that), I encountered an old favorite. An RP whose impact rippled throughout the entire section, if only for a short amount of time, and it gave me an idea.

 

Alright, I know I'm already managing one RP, but does anybody remember an old roleplay of Gendo Ikari's by the name of Reign of Paradox? It was basically a crossover Yugioh RP throughout all of time and space, gathering characters from different RPs and different timelines together. Originally Gendo Ikari's idea... but with me in control, who knows? I'd probably even allow characters from non-Yugioh-related RPs so long as they're given decks. I'm not sure about the plot, but it'd probably be similar to Jolta's Mega-Multiverse only with a more linear plotline and less randomness~

 

I'd like to do something like that, something that unites nearly all the roleplayers together into one, single RP on a grand scale.

 

Something that everyone can enjoy, and something that can stretch the very fabric of space and time without seeming overly cliché.

 

I'm just telling you guys about this idea. Food for thought. I won't begin seriously planning it until around July or August, where I'm hoping to have enough time to host multiple RPs. And that's only if people actually like the idea. In all honesty, I'll probably need lots and lots of players if this thing is going to be the blast I want it to be, so if hardly anybody joins, then it isn't going to work.

 

Does the concept sound good to anyone?

 

I haven't forgotten about this idea yet. I was going to make a banner and some drawings, but laziness got to me. I'll do that later.

 

My aim here isn't to make a crossover between canon series (although that can most certainly be done as well), but a crossover between the many roleplays of this site. So if you've had a favorite character you created in a RP from the past, you can get to use them again and expand upon them.

 

Still, I'm as of yet undecided as to whether or not they'll fight each other via card games or if they'll utilize the main powers of their respective RPs.

 

As for the plot...

[spoiler=The Beta Plot]

 

The multiverse isn't as it should be.

 

There are strange occurrences going on in the fabric of time and space.

 

Key items from universes, be they magical artifacts or advanced technological weapons, have suddenly vanished into thin air. The forces of magic are acting unpredictably, time travel no longer brings individuals to where they wish to go, and teleportation has become impossible for inexplicable reasons. Thus, the beings that would normally come to the rescue, such as the Time Lords or the Neighborhood Watch, are unable to interfere.

 

But most importantly, events that should've happened have been reversed and replaced with apocalyptic scenarios that had otherwise been prevented. Once a world falls into disarray, time itself starts collapsing around its universe.

 

The one responsible for this is an emerald-haired time sorceress called Isamy, who has begun to tamper with time and space itself in search of a 'key' - the key to the "Door of Origin". When it is opened, it is said that the one who gains access to it shall be able to overwrite the entire multiverse and shape it in their own image.

 

Only one man stands in her way. A Counter Guardian known only as Emiya, whose sole duty is to function as a hero to save the multiverse whenever it is threatened. However, the threat he faces is a being beyond even his power alone.

 

That is why he has traveled from universe to universe, saving the only individuals he's able to - people whose memories retain that of their original timelines. Bringing them into a self-contained world called "Unlimited Blade Works" so the time sorceress won't be able to find them, he has formed the Counter Corps (or "C.C."), whose main goal is to put an end to her schemes and save the multiverse before it's too late.

 

However, Isamy has realized this, and has thus begun collecting individuals of her own from different worlds, luring them over to her side with 'a chance to rewrite the fate of their own universe'.

 

Will you take up arms and become the hero that saves the world?

Or will you seize this opportunity to become the god that directs its fate?

 

When all of reality is at stake, who will you side with?

[/spoiler]

 

Haven't come up with a title yet, though.

 

So, what do you guys think~? :D I tried to blur the line between good and evil a little, so it's possible here for a good guy to want to change the fate of his crapsack world, and it's also possible for a bad guy to want to go save it.

[Aix]

Not sure if I will be able to join another RP, but you have my interest.
