RP Think Tank

[The Manticoran Empire]

This is a RP on the NationStates section that is set, as you might have guessed, from 1750 until 2000 (with luck). It is a primarily Past Tech RP, though there might be some Modern Tech later on. A short rundown of the RP: You are the leader of a nation of your choosing. You have one goal: To become the dominant force in the world. You can you use diplomacy, such as territorial purchases, annexations, alliances, treaties, trade agreements, and sanctions; or you can use war to achieve your goal. Will you be a superpower, with control of much or all of the world's resources? Or will you be a vassal state, struggling to survive under the shadow of however many superpower states there are? The choice is yours.

Just like the game you are a clan Daimyo in the Tokugawa area. With the use ashigari and samurai units you will battle eachother for power.

Do you have what it takes to become the next Shogun?

Closed (apply) PT RP (duh) which uses the clans and it's perks. I am not sure how the mechanic will work just yet but I am sure that when people like the concept that they might help me with that

[The Manticoran Empire]

I am wondering if anyone is interested in an RP based around basic NS stats: Population, Economy, tax rate, etc. If you are interested or have any questions, please send me a telegram.

Great. I will take the Shimazu clan.

Are you willing to help sort the details out? The idea is still a little rough

That should be your prerogative, and I'm somewhat occupied with RL at the moment still.

[Nova Sylva]

hey I know I've been gone for a bit. However I want to have a brawl. You know? Several dozen divisions fighting over a map. The Zerrian Conflict (better known as Zerran Civil war). I've been itching for a battle or conflict like that. Is anyone sharing this with me or is it just me?

Hey, I saw your post on the RP Think Tank about wanting to do an RP with a map. I'm extremely interested, to say the least. I also skimmed through the Zerrian Civil War thread and read through your attempted civil war. I would enjoy doing an RP with you, but it's going to be of a much higher caliber than what I've seen from you so far. I know your capable of it, so I'm hoping this can...push you over the edge, so to speak, from the rough (but fun) ones you've shown yourself fond of to the advanced, realistic RPs that my region and I are known for.

Here are a few examples of the RPs I do :

In order to draw out troop movements I use a web-based program called Google My Maps. Here are some examples of what it is capable of :



WAN and SL Forces Dispositions at around 8am on the 11th March, 2016















Anyway, so if we did an RP it would be grounded in both military and political realism. I will spare you the political buildup for this RP, and the roleplay itself will be grounded in a Sylvan surprise attack (and invasion) of a neighboring country. Here is a map of a region - you can, for the RP, or perhaps permanently, take the United Territories' plot as well as the plot north of him that is empty. If you want a different spot let me know, but the only other ones that would work for this RP would be the plot south of Aurde, UT's plot, Sidonia, or Cascadia...the latter of which I fee are too small for what your looking for.

Would anyone be interested in some sort of huge pirate-terrorist attacks, with lots of foreign intervention and things?

Basic idea:
Just outside a countries territorial waters, in a popular trade route and vacation spot, a large group of pirates, armed to the teeth attack and capture several large ships, including a cruise ship. Holding the people for ransom, the pirates demand a huge amount of money, and the nations nearby are forced to act.

What the RP would be:
How will countries react? will they try to negotiate the release of their citizens? Launch an all-out raid on the ships? Bomb the ship and attempt to rescue survivors? Sneak in covert ops personnel, to try and sneak people off?

This is just an idea I had, thought it would be nice to have something besides the usual "Bob invades Joe" RP

This indeed sounds interesting. Let me know if you are going to make something of it

After a terror attack in a popular shipping and tourist lane, you, as the leaders of the world must decide how to solve the crisis.

I am considering making an RP starting in the late 19th or early 20th century (1890-1910). The RP will be Alternate History and will center primarily around the major powers of the time, namely the United States, the European Colonial Empires, the Qing Empire, the Indian Empire, the Japanese Empire, the Korean Empire, Mexico, and Brazil, though smaller nations will also be allowed in. The RP is based in reality, with slight changes starting in the mid-19th century and continuing based on player actions. Economic sensibility will be expected, though the tense atmosphere of time gives an excuse for the major powers to boast large naval and ground forces, possibly with limited air power (depending on the starting date of the RP) I am hoping that this will be of interest to at least a few individuals and that it will get off to good start and remain strong for a while.

I find this idea quite interesting, to be honest. I'd like to join it if it is ever made

I have an OP draft waiting on Google docs. If I can get a little more support, I would be willing to post it.

Made the OOC post. I hope you are able to help me out with this.

[The Zionward Union]

I have never really RP'd before and I'm not really sure how or where to get started. I was bored the other day and wrote an extensive history of my nation and thought it would be interesting to start an RP on the assassination of a Duke during Sunday mass by a group of religious officials. Any advice?

[Delmonte]

While I'd like to advertise this here, I wanted a separate thread so that I could potentially discuss the RP in it.

In short, I'm looking for a suitable nation to conquer me.

[The Praetorian Empire]

I'm just spitballing here, tell me if anyone might be interested in taking this further.

---

Once upon a time, there was a mighty Empire in the east. It produced everything it ever needed on it's own, and for hundreds of years, it was easily the most powerful nation on the planet. It needed no trading partners, it needed no foreign influence and it needed no friends. This isolationism would be its downfall.

As the rest of the world advanced, the Great Empire in the east stagnated, and soon, fledgling upstart nations were clawing at its doors, coming in great ships in the name of trade and conquest. The Empire accepted them at first, but when these young "modern" nations started turning the people of the Empire to their barbaric ways and harming the economy, they were cast out. But these nations would not be parted from their newfound source of wealth in the east, and they forced the Great Empire to open its ports with their cannons and rifles. Ravaged, humiliated and defeated, the Great Empire was forced to allow these upstart nations back into their cities to spread their vile influence.

The Great Empire is a shadow of its former self, emasculated and firmly under the boot of the upstart nations. They run rampant, abusing the local people and economy for their own gain. Their seat of power lies in the capital, in the Foreign Quarter, where all of the upstart nations, who call themselves the Great Powers, maintain an embassy where they hold the Great Empire hostage through 'diplomacy'. These embassies consist of an ambassador, a team of bureaucrats and a token amount of soldiers. Behind the tall walls of their small citadel in the middle of the impoverished city, surrounded by their luxuries, they are unable to hear the angry mob gathering outside, ready to make a stand for their nation, preparing for a siege.

---

In this RP, the player will control the ambassador, staff and small guard force of their Great Power's embassy within the Foreign Quarter of the Great Empire's capital. The massive structure, walled off from the rest of the city, is complete with gardens, fountains, art galleries, a small village of embassy builds and impressive meeting halls, allowing the ambassador and his team to live a comfortable life despite the poor condition of the country around them. The people have had enough of living essentially as slaves under a few entitled foreigners, and they take up arms under revolutionary leaders who desire to overthrow the government and cast out the Great Powers. The Foreign Quarter comes under siege, and the players must either set aside their differences with their rivals and see out the siege, or be overrun and most likely executed by the angry peasants outside.

I'm a new nation. I'd like to establish my nations' background, culture, and political leaders and customs by inviting another nation's head of state to visit my own. Essentially, we're the equivalent to a Slavic, Eastern European nation that chose to follow the Nordic model instead. Thus, we're somewhat disconnected from the sanctity of our Christian traditions and culture. However, we have experienced extreme social and environmental success as a result. To be clear, we're not geographically in Europe, or actually Slavic. I'm just drawing to draw an analogy. Anybody interested in doing this with me?

I am interested but would I be an important leader or just a leader of a small nation?

[The Tribes of the Silician Isles]

So there are a lot of RPGs with weird creatures, but they are usually either in the past and there is a bunch of impossible magic (Fantasy genre) or in the far future where the creatures are called aliens and there is a bunch of impossible science (Sci-fi genre). How about a modern world with modern technology, but fictional places and creatures. For example, the elite military division for my country is the "Dragoneers," who ride dragons, but also carry fully-automatic machine guns and use modern radar equipment to locate other aircraft. The problem is, that does not fit in with any existing roleplay, would anyone be interested in helping me make a new one?

As for the storyline, thinking some empire threatens to invade me, I call for help, and see where it goes from there. If someone would be interested in being that empire, please TG me, and I will start a forum.

Depends on the tech age.
