Traveller's Café: Discussion, brainstorming & advice

[Olthar]

Oh, it's mostly just there for character inspiration. The classes will have different levels of points available for the four categories of "skills," "weapons," "tech," and "cyberware/bioware" as are relevant to the class, but that's about it.

...What's the difference between the last two?

Tech is various gadgets while cyberware/bioware is shit you stick in your body.

Also, you should throw in a wrecker or someone who specializes in vehicles. For variety or something. Unless the Techie already does that, in which case ignore this.

Yeah, techie does that.

Can you explain that a bit better? I'm not sure I totally follow.

I'm not sure what's tripping you up.

Eugh.

I think Night's confused for the thing about different levels of points.

Well, the different classes do different things which have different requirements. For instance, the swordsman would have a lot of points for cyberware/bioware as he'd need a lot of body augmentations to not die in a gunfight, but he'd have less points in weapons and tech as he doesn't use guns or gadgets too often.

...So, you make shit up for each category and distribute the points, right?

Street Samurai? Nice.

Just to know, does it take place into a somewhat dystopic world (Cyberpunk) or not? (Post-cyberpunk)

Pretty much. Maybe one guy wants a chainsaw hand, while another wants x-ray eyes, and a third wants rocket feet. There are so many possibilities in each category that you can use.

Definitely the former.

I've finished the OP. The link is in my signature.

[Casl]

Which one :/

[Olthar]

Which one :/

Well, you could just click around until you find it, but I guess I'll be nice and say the third link.

[Asterdan]

how long should I wait before I 'bump' Nightblade?

[Esternial]

Don't advertise in this thread please. I'm only allowing threads that have been extensively or at least somewhat discussed here to be linked to directly in this thread.

But I made a poll to see what everyone thinks.

@Asterdan: That's up to you, I reckon.

I actually feel we should allow advertising here.

I agree, but on the other hand I don't really want people posting links coming in and out and push away the posts that ask for input or discuss a certain RP.

We probably should allow it, but I'm still trying to figure out the pro's and con's.

So post some motivation, that would be nice, because I'm clueless.

[Maltropia]

Gonna just repost this -

Perhaps links should only be allowed before applications are opened or something like that?

Though I'd be okay with links being posted so long as it's for discussion and advice as well as advertising. That is the thread's title, after all.

Uhu, I kept your idea on the back of my head before commenting on someone posting a link. For example, Cylarn didn't really discuss his upcoming thread; he just posted a link and a short description.

Maybe I could give a few people who are active here permission to 'rate' links and see if they should be allowed.

But yeah, Cylarn's RP is already completely finished...just needs participants.

[Casl]

Ok so i made an rp i discussed here: http://forum.nationstates.net/viewtopic.php?f=31&t=221347


But im fairly sure not a soul is interested, so what could i d to keep true to the same idea of that RP but change it up a bit?

I think it'd be a good idea to get more embedded in the community before trying to post your RPs

Sadly, good ideas alone won't make a successful RP

Stupid cliques....


Ok so how does one do that XD

Fix your grammar. Not sure about other people, but I immediately ignore an rp when I see an OP with bad grammar.

Second of all, start joining open rps that also have people with good grammar. Try to get involved in those, build up friendships and links.

Then make your own.

Well, spelling isn't everything if your OP makes people with a light OCD cringe.

[Casl]

So the OP was shart

Well i wrote it at 3AM so ha.

Well, that's a good indicative that you should have given it a bit more thought.

Hello there ladies and gents. I mainly writing this to get my thoughts down and as a reminder to make them if i'm ever proud of them. Now listen i just came up with these idea like a week ago the lastest

Now my first idea comes from reading the hobbit. A quest for the leaky mountain. The reason it is called the leaky mountain is because of a great river that flows through it and it is clean drinking water. The leaky mountain was the home of the Dwarves of the north until Goblins and Orks drove them out in the Or-io War. The Dwarves want it back so they send letters to many heroes and tell them to meet at a tavern in the north(Dwarfs love their ale). The main difference is that if the Dwarves do retake the leaky mountain is up to the players and Dragons have been killed off so no Smaug. My main fear is that i will make a on Rail shooter not a interactive Roleplay.

The second idea is the high elf civil war. It takes place a month after High king Fregor died in a hunting accident. Now Fregor had two sons Mynor and Freiey and by High elf custom the oldest get the crown. But Mynor and Freiey are twins born in at the same exact time. They both want the crown badly and all the High elf kingdoms chose a side and a civil war begins.I can't decide if i want it to be a character rp or a nation rp. This idea is very new as i just came up with it today.I don't have a fear yet

Any critique would be nice as these rp i'm proud of and want them to get off the ground.
