RP Think Tank

[Perotasoa]

I had the idea of this Education major who gets dragged before the police about something he wrote online. After that he goes from this paranoid guy who does well in school, to this serious political leader who leaves the country fearing for his life. Then he ends up in some random country and gets a job there, so he can make money to fund his personal vendetta with the people back home.

During this process he gets brought in for questioning by the people there about his "criminal record", forms connections with gangs/militias, and then recruits people to start an uprising back at home.

Oh and he's going to have this really scrawny, pissed off vibe. I'm even thinking of having him pack a small caliber pistol because his arms can't take the recoil of anything bigger. Oh and the police question him for practicing how to make molotov cocktails.

Lots of ideas, no idea where to take them.

What I find fun about RP's is you don't plan that much - you present a situation and then see where it takes you. I like the sound of this, but we need to narrow down the number of ideas. A political opponent suddenly rising up and challenging the whole government sounds good.

I think the idea behind the character is that he feels forced to do what he does, that he wishes he could back home studying but he's a wanted man.

Thus, he feels he must overthrow that state in order to remove his record and actually teach there.

So his stress turns him into a psycho who doesn't really want power? That sounds really cool, but not as fun when you have to make this happen on an RP. Maybe good for a factbook story.

Or should we just start it as that, and see what happens?

I have a Idea for a new Roleplay, not sure if it should be in P2TM or here, but here it is.

The Basic idea, is that the Milky Way galaxy has several empires, witch are the participants, and they are all over populated and are all confined to very densely packed regions of space, of witch they exist. The Milky way is over populated, Corporations and nations are fighting one another, and the Galaxy is running out of Resources. They find a naturally formed Wormhole, of witch they call, The Gateway, witch might be the title of the rp.

They corporation and nations pass through, and find a galaxy about twelve times the size of the milky way, with about six trillion stars or something, many of witch are surrounded by Garden worlds. They find more wormholes, name them gateways, and pass through them as well.
They arrive on the other side and name the galaxies of witch they enter.
and they build massive Wormhole gateway stabilization devices, effectively making it impossible for the wormholes to collapse.

and so the empires start to expand while problems start to pile up on there original borders.

Sounds a lot like this belongs more in P2TM than II.

Not sure though, any second opinions?

Okay, so I am imagining this angry former hipster, turned serious revolutionary. So is he actually competent? Or does he mainly succeed just because he is a little bit crazier than everyone else?

I think the reason why he would succeed is because he applies himself.

As in, he's not the guy to shoot people but he practices and reads enough to get good at it. He knows his arms aren't the best for shooting and he does things to counteract these faults.

Also he's really pissed off and willing to stake his life on his beliefs.

Long story short, a bit of both. He's crazy enough to push himself to be more competent.

viewtopic.php?f=5&t=318460

A Steampunk/Fantasy crossover RPG involving conflicts between humans, elves, orcs and all manner of species, as well as the forces of modernity and magic. Featuring airships, demon snake goddesses, snooty elves, Goblins dressed in 19th century military uniforms and all manner of hijinks.

I'm looking for a few experienced RPers to fill some specific roles. Namely, we need a couple of imperialist nations (Vansable, Illania, Mantua or the Dark Elves,) who'd be willing to play nicely with the southern nations in the inevitable war which is going to blow up down south. Similarly, somebody who's a fan of the Inca to take over the Inca-styled human supremacists out to murder the aforementioned demon snake goddess and all her spawn would be nice as well. The Southern Kingdom is also open, but is generally low priority as the wild elves of the region are fairly neutral in most things that go on outside their territory.

If you see a nation which takes your fancy but is not mentioned above, please keep the thread in mind, but at the present I'm looking to keep the group focused and generate some IC material to get things going. I'll most likely post here again once the floodgates are open.

I don't necessarily require people who are deep into steampunk or fantasy. As long as you can string together a few paragraphs and don't want to play the 'color all of the map my color no matter the cost' game, we should be able to come to an agreement.

Those with questions, feel free to join #arcanum on Esper.

RP Think Tank...

Anyone here familiar with Warhammer 40K:Dawn of War? I was actually planning to make chapters of Dawn of War role-play. And yes, Tyranids are even available to use too. I'm thinking on one planet (or separated planets whichever you are interested in) and have factions clash until one last man standing for the true ruler or Kronus. Although It may sound fun. I'm not sure.

I have an idea for a PT RP set in the Americas around 1900 when the US was advancing business interests in Latin America through force of arms. Player nations would pick one of 20+ nations in Latin America at the time and subsequently receive a dossier of objectives from the game moderator. Each country would come with a profile of resources, manpower, and technology level appropriate for the period. I think it would be fair to make the US a non-playable character with its own set of objectives that come in direct conflict with most, if not all of the player countries. The game ends when either all player characters become a US client state or the complete a set of tiered objectives each increasing in difficulty.

This would rely on a group of moderators to determine outcomes. I think it would be really fun. I'd be willing to work with anyone who would want to write the scripts.

Kind Regards,
Jerome

Consider asking around on the Junior General forums if the people here aren't interested. This sounds like a good idea that I sadly don't have the memory for.

Can I be a moderator or do I need another three years on this site?

Yes, you can be a moderator. Pick it up and run with it. I will help you as much as I can with its design.

In-Character Thread:
Sanguine Dark: Through the Looking Glass

Out-of-Character / Sign-Up Thread:
Sanguine Dark Info Thread and Sign-Ups

Good morning (afternoon/evening) everyone. I'm in the process of launching an FT roleplay for the FT-Prime community called Sanguine Dark, and am looking for possible interested parties. The story itself revolves around a young human-xeno civilization in Gamma Quadrant called the Primareliqua, who in the process of developing into a new player in the new frontier of Gamma send three of its most advanced warships out into distant parts of the galaxy. Broken up into three specific blocs detailing each ship's odysseys through Alpha, Delta and Gamma Quadrant respectively, Sanguine Dark is a major creative undertaking that will feature some of the most well-known civilizations in the galaxy. Regardless of wherever your group or race calls home, there is a potential place for you in the roleplay.

Players who are interested in applying to join the thread should visit the OOC and Sign-up Thread and submit an application form in the thread. The OP or other relevant parties will contact accepted participants via telegram with more information on the posting order and upcoming events in the story, but all are invited to follow the thread at your leisure. If you have any questions about the roleplay or the criteria for participation, please telegram me.

The Basic idea behind it would be maybe a Massive fracture of some galactic government, were multiple nations, most of whom are rivals on the political and military stage decide to break off of the major governing body preventing them from settling there individual scores with guns instead of useless talks.

The basic background behind it is that there is a Arms race going on between the West Galactic Bloc and East Galactic Core Systems. The East Galactic Core Systems are a Socialist movement, and the West Galactic Bloc are a coalition of Capitalistic governments controlling there areas of space, in competition with the East to out match them in Military power. The Arms race hits a major point when the East is drained of Currency, and they demand aid from the West.

The West denies, and the East begins to mass troops in preparations for a Invasion of the West, while the West begins to build up its defenses from worry of a Violent response from the East, because the West denied them aid.

So its like a Cold War situation.

Not to nitpick, but it's a galaxy... there is no west or east.

I would also say it would be more interesting if it wasn't a super-obvious mirror of reality

Not like a cold war situation, is a cold war situation. Dominion is right, not really too much.

Make it flavourful and interesting.

Hey, it's a thing. Well, at least I'm not involving myself in a much deeper and darker world, which is War RP.
