I have an idea for a multi-episode, character driven, adventure RP, about a group of Conquistadors going on dangerous adventures through a more mythical and surreal New World, with monsters, gods, cities of gold, Amazons, etc.

[Greater Corea]

Finally some pointers!

Thank you kindly sir!

Much appreciated, I'm very much a stats guy can't help myself sometimes...

I wanted to give some control of squads etc, a bad idea?

I realise that point 4 has a point but I wanted to offer a wider variety of different characters. Surely if I offered someone the choice of a character from several nations they would want to participate further?
Or perhaps it's better to have different nationalities in one company (fictional of course)?

Thank you for your attention!

Stats aren't all bad, but they aren't really necessary in a character RP.

Having someone control a squad is great, if the rest of the squad is played by other people.

I guess you could make it an international volunteer company. Those did exist IIRC.

So do you think more people will join if I change my RP to your suggestions?

(Which are very good btw)

I am quite literally hitting myself at the brilliance of this

Anyways thanks for helping mate!

This is from the "idealized period of history you'd want to live in" thread, isn't it?
Color me interested.

Well, I certainly would. Been itching for a good platoon-based RP for some time now.

I'd advise anyone who'd make such a roleplay of the offensive undertones that the concept carries.

'Detailed' description is short because 'western superhero RP' in my mind kinda speaks for itself.

RP Name: More Than A Fairy Tale
RP Creator: Yours truly
Type (Character, Nation, Faction): Character
Genre/s: Due to the diverse origins of the characters, this RP is an amalgamation of various genres that include but are not limited to: Fantasy, Science Fiction, Historical Fiction, Steampunk, Cyberpunk, and Political Thriller.
Detailed Description: In a library not so far away, there lies a hidden universe inside our own where fiction literally comes to life in the middle of the night. The cause of it all? An Aztec statue that causes characters from the written world to come to life and run rampant in the location it is contained. Most characters are content with the twelve to thirteen hours of freedom they have, but some want a permanent vacation from their hardcover and paperback confines...

...you know what?
I just realized that I actually could not care less about it offending someone.
Literally, I just don't care. At ALL. Which is unusual.

It's a RP. It's hard to be offended if you don't join.

I've always been into Conquistadors (sort of my guilty pleasure), but I never thought about making an RP for it, until now.

If we can do WW2 and Crusader RPs, withoput issue, then I think we can do a Conquistador one.

Khmer Rouge: The Saturday Morning Cartoon

*Winking at the fourth wall while unironically reenacting Kipling's White Man's Burden*. I know this subforum operates better when nothing is taken seriously, but collecitive storytelling is still art, and all art is inherently political.

Maybe people should think about that. Or not. Let's all just remember that apathy is the ultimate politically conservative statement! *Slinks back to Walking Dead RP to discuss the functional dimension of Futurism*

[Namunah]

I was wondering if anyone was interested in
an RP where the Earth gets split into two equal
halves, which are still loosely floating around the
core. This in turn causes a sort of time difference in
the two sides where one side becomes too
advanced and the other stays behind in comparison.
The side that is advanced specialise in using various
types of modern ranged weaponry ranging from
wristbows to railguns. They are more modernised
and futuristic.
The other side, however keeps to more medieval means, viz. swords, knives, longbows etc. This half
is more backward than the other.
And then there are the Versatiles, people with a
certain title and badge that specialise in using both
kinds of weaponry and have free access to both
sides. The enemy here surfaces from the core climbing the
fissure and attacking people on both sides. These
creatures are known as Anti-Breeds.
The Plot here is to figure out how to get along with
the other side, differences as there have arisen and
to figure out how to get to the source of these Anti Breeds.

What do you think?
