Too much of an enclosed setting. Also, how would it even work? Would half the players be employees/night guards and the other half mechanical animals?

Maybe I can set it somewhere else, like an amusement park? There could also be like investigators, but that wouldn't work since that actually makes sense.

Well, that would be better. However, there would have to be some sort of day-to-night mechanic since the robots only turn malevolent at night. But the switch to Amusement Park sounds cool.

Now, to figure out that day-and-night mechanic... I suppose every 3rd page could be a time change. Page 3 would be the first night time. I don't know. I'll figure it out.

"Well that was anti-climatic." :mad:

Maybe extend the night or day another three pages? As I said, I will work it out. Eventually.

Also, is there anyone who would like to help me with my idea? I can repost here, but it should be another page back.

RP's Overarching Concept: 2 groups of gods compete to have the greatest solar system in the galaxy.
Genre/s: God, Space. (Or sci-fi, if you will.)
Character or Faction Based: A bit of both.
Detailed Description: A god named Guardian was created to watch the galaxy named Maximus, created by other gods. He was created by Watcher, because watching these 600+ systems at once was difficult. Later Watcher defected to another galaxy. After Maximus was almost completely abandoned, because of a raid by other gods, Guardian decided to start from scratch. It took 3.4 mil years to erase everything he watched. And another 4.7 mil to create these solar systems. But after 23 thousand years of creating these two systems, he decided to create two groups of gods. Bent on pleasing the Guardian, they could have almost complete power of the entire galaxy if they dethroned Guardian. They will now have to decide how to destroy the others. Thus started the Tale of Two Systems. These gods can change planets, orbits, comets, asteroids, the temperature of the sun, you can even betray or defect to the other solar system. Create intelligent life, create moons, and even raid the other system. If it's impossible, you can do it!

So many RP's lately involving gods. I'd like to know what you think separates this idea from other god-oriented roleplays, aside from the sci-fi aspect. I'm not saying it's bad, I'm just extremely curious.

Edit: Never mind what I said, after some thought, your idea is actually pretty awesome.

His idea isn't terrible, and people have shown interest in it (presumably). Granted, it will take a lot of creativity to pull it off since he has very little source material. So, now that the others have had their turn, can someone help me with my idea please?

Also, I'd still appreciate for some help with the thing I posted last page.

RP INTEREST AND FEEDBACK REQUEST

RP's Overarching Concept: It takes place in the Godzilla Universe in which the players must save mankind.
Genre/s: Science Fiction, Action, Tokusatsu
Character or Faction Based: Character
Detailed Description: The year is 2037, and for decades humanity has struggled fighting a menace that they have never seen before. Kaiju from all corners of our planet and the cosmos are destroying Man's final refuges. But none are as powerful as The King; Godzilla. There are five major organizations (Monarch, G-Force, CCI, Red Bamboo, and the Xilieans) who wish to eliminate their competition and survive in a world now dominated by monsters. The surviving factions wage war with the Kaiju and each other with their Jaegers and other forms of advanced weaponry.

Well, I don't know much about the Godzilla universe, so I can't say much on that regard, though you might want to explain more about the Kaiju and the Jaegers, in case someone who isn't that knowledgeable on the franchise happens to be interested. You could also outline the Kaiju's weaknesses (if they have them, again, no idea) along with their size and powers. Also, you hardly need four posts to list the monsters, you could easily fit them all into one simply using spoilers, not to mention the coding is screwed on some of the monsters.

Hello?


I'd comment on it, if I knew anything at all about Warhammer. I think you'd be better off asking people knowledgeable on that franchise's canon than just posting a question here and hoping someone answers, frankly.

Satellite God, maybe?

Anyway, you might want to cut down the lists by perhaps combining some of those Gods, because getting sixteen (I'm assuming there would be a God of each thing in each of the two solar systems you speak about in your idea) players might not be easy.
