Traveller's Cafe 3: Brainstorming, discussion, tea, advice

[Dayganistan]

While it's a good idea, it's not a particularly good setting for the main antagonist I was thinking of. With all the talk going around of hacking and cyber attacks, I wanted the main antagonist to be a cyber terrorist of sorts. Incredibly wealthy from hacking banks and from selling stolen information to various terrorist groups and rogue states, so while he very well could just be a stereotypical computer nerd, he's able to hire an army of thugs to make things difficult for the player characters.

Cyberattacks, if they're from nation-states and the protags are Western, are probably going to come from Iran, Russia, China, or the DPRK.

The hiring aspect and such might work better with a mercenary hacker. Like PMCs, except not.

That's kind of the idea I was thinking of yes. An antagonist not loyal to a state or a particular ideology, only money and an oversized ego. And it gives players freedom to make pretty much any character they want from almost any country in the world, because anyone could have a problem with a mercenary hacker who's selling his services to whoever will pay.

RP's Overarching Concept: The Dark Tower Multiverse, Character Development, Adventure
Genre/s: Fantasy, SciFi, Post-Apocalyptic, Western
Character or Faction Based: Character based roleplay
Detailed Description: Explaining the entirety of the Dark Tower series is beyond me. The world is vast, and so is the lore. Here is my attempt at briefly and coherently explaining only some of the lore that is RELEVANT to THIS semi-canon Dark Tower RP:

The land your character inhabits is called Mid-World, one of three sections of the greater Kingdom of All-World, which was united by a legendary figure known as Arthur of Eld. His kingdom has fractured, however, giving rise to an alliance of cities and baronies called the Affiliation who provide aid to even the most far flung baronies of mid-world basically via gunslinging knight-errants. You are one of these gunslingers, a beacon of hope and justice in a world that is slowly falling apart. The capitol for the Affiliation, and these gunslingers, is Gilead. It is from there that you will begin your first quest. (Thinking of adding a sorcerer class, but not sure)

You will begin as a novice gunslinger, part of a small group led by the one who is training you in the art of the gun, diplomacy, and even deception.

The world is filled with mutants, monsters, strange beings, magic both light and dark, and technology left over from an ancient cataclysm caused by beings known as the Great Old Ones, who have since disappeared and faded into near complete obscurity. The only clues left of them is their ancient technology, which was both their greatest transcendental achievement and the harbinger of their extinction.

That is a very basic pitch, and I would be happy to expound on anything I have mentioned for anyone interested in the RP. So please, ask me questions.

Need Help With: Interest, development. I can manage running the roleplay mostly on my own, but I need a Co-OP familiar with the series to help author, organize the lore, and really flesh out the world. This world is huge and very detailed, which is great for players but will be a challenge for an OP/Co-OP. I really want to provide the first (as far as I know) quality, immersive Dark Tower RP.

This is a very cool idea. I read the series (thought the 7th was bizarre and unfulfilling - c'mon, you start everything all again and it's one big giant loop?) But liked the first (especially David the falcon). Loved the 2nd and 3rd (Blaine the Mono was a really terrifying bad guy). 4th was cool 'cause it showed history. 5th was cool, partly because Stephen King wrote it as if it were a medieval tale. 6th was weird, but I kind of saw where he was going with it. and then, the 7th. Bizarre.

I'd offer to be an OP, but I don't know that I have the time right now. Hope it goes well for you though.

Thanks, i've been wanting to give this a try for a while. Hey, if yiu ever have the time and just want to play, keep a look out. I am working on the OOC, just trying to drum up some interest and find a bit of help.

Well I have had an idea for a Command & Conquer Roleplay, I've never started a RP before so I'm throwing this out here for suggestions or fine-tuning.

Cool idea. Wouldn't mind helping you bounce ideas around if you want.

I'm in the middle of making Pubsmen RP, it's like Kingsman but we're named after alcohol products. Still in the process, too.

no.

Edit: ^ Literally the first thing to come up when I typed 'Kingsman game' into a search engine.

Well I play a lot of video game nation builders (civilisation etc), and someone on the civ forum mentioned nationStates so I thought I'd give it a look.

Well P2TM, is not exactly the place if you want to rp with your NS nation, not that that isnt allowed. I cannot recall which forums deal with that, it has been a few years and on a different account since i was last in that side of NS.

Were you wanting a straight Nation/civilization building rp or one where you build but have no control over the creation afterwards, like in some deity/god rps?

I was thinking like a one character type thing to start with, rping the whole nation sounds harder and more time consuming.

Usually you just control a character or a handful and describe the changes and stuff. When i get to my pc, i will link to some of the nation rps that have been done. Do you prefer fantasy nation or modern style or even FT/Future Tech rps?

I don't really know if I want to do a nation-based one, I haven't worked out what I want my nation really to be that's why my issue answers are so weird

What type of rps would you be looking for?

There are divided america rps, many fandom rps, a few science fantasy and science fiction and at least one god rp.

The question concerning nation rps was so i know whoch ones to link to give you an idea. You could check the P2TM advert thread to look for an rp or peruse the latest tjreads in P2TM ypurself.

You don't need to worry about what your Gameside NS nation is like. Lots of folks who do NS nation-based RP's (which you will find in NationStates and International Incidents) create states entirely dissimilar from their Gameside profile. Particularly once said profile says they're a country of tens of billions of people.

Portal to the Multiverse is where you'll find RP's based in the real-world (or altered version of it), or some real-world property like Star Wars, or Harry Potter.

There have been a bunch of Star Wars RPs, and I think some are still going on. There's also a pretty long running Harry Potter RP going on right now called Hogwarts. But they accept new characters.

I currently oversee and manage (OP) one of the few comedy RPs, involving superheroes with incredibly lame powers who are out to save the world. And equally lame-powered villains who try to thwart them.

There's RPs based on pretty much anything around here.

RP's Overarching Concept: Ragtag team of novice adventurers seeking fame and glory
Genre/s: Adventure, fantasy, action
Character or Faction Based: Character
Detailed Description: More than two decades have passed since the great King Konrad II died, leaving no heir to inherit his throne. When questioned who would lead the kingdom of Wesnoth now, three noble houses stepped up and after months of heated strife, a civil war erupted. Still feeling the damages of the undead invasion half a decade prior, the kingdom's glory and power slowly fade away as the once great people of Wesnoth tear each other apart in this bloody chapter of the world's history.

Meanwhile, in the southern provinces, the small town of Kerloth is the newest victim of pillaging. Barely managing to hold the assault off, the town's council decides to send a small envoy to the capital city of Weldyn to seek protection. However, their travel will suffer some unexpected twists which will eventually send them into the heart of the civil war itself.

It's actually based on a free Fantasy Strategy Game called Battle for Wesnoth.
