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

[South Vict]

As you guys didn't know, I will be doing a CK2 (Crusader kings 2) RP for the record. It be done probably today.

EDIT: But i need ideas.

Deus Vult?

Actually, I changed my mind. I will be doing EU4 instead

[Shadowwell]

I have this loose idea for a fantasy RP and was wondering if there's anybody interested. It's influenced by Samurai Jack in a way.

Basically it's set in a kingdom that is under attack by a certain dark evil. A band of champions, the kingdoms chosen heroes, set out to vanquish this foe. However, during the final confrontation, the villain releases a dark hole sort of thing which some of the heroes fall into. When they wake up, they're in the same place they left off at but something seems different. Turns out, they somehow traveled into the future. A future where their companions defeated the villain, yet upon killing it, they took over its power. It's darkness swallowed their minds, turning these champions of hope into complete and utter tyrants. Long story short, with their newfound powers, they took over the kingdom they once swore to protect and rule it with an iron fist. And it's up to their old friends, who they thought had died, to stop them.

That's pretty much all I have so far.

Very interesting, This has been done before, a lot in books, but not as an rp, so it could eb a thing.
What do you have in mind?

Pretty much just that general outline in mind. Still need to expand the lore, world and such. In terms of the time-travel thing, It would be the same idea as what they did with Dragon Age: Inquisition when you chose the mage path over the templar.

Hey, has anyone thought of a Street Fighter RP yet?

Would anyone here be interested in Cold War RP? Something more sandbox-ish focusing on cutthroat diplomacy and arms/space race? I am noticing that most of the Nation RP-s here are geared towards WWII in various AH incarnations and this place is a bit dormant ATM.

[Labstoska]

I have an idea for an RP set in 1945 Britain where the participants would form their own party can either attempt to reunite the empire or tear it apart. For example if a participant is elected as prime minister how would they deal with the suez canal, would they allow india to drift away or would they bring it under an iron fist. Of course people would have to deal with repairing Britain after the war and i would also need to come up with a reason why the Conservatives and Labour don't have huge public support so that the participants have a chance of winning the election. So what do people think, would anyone be interested.

It seem's quite streamlined. Otherwise, I don't know a lot about politics of the UK in that period and that might be a problem. Maybe if we make it less Britain-centric and focus on the World after 1945 so that people can play Indian factions or Egypt. I don't know how would Suez crisis played out in this RP of yours if nobody plays as foreign actors like France, Egypt or USA. Players could simply godmod getting USA to back them and win the situation.

So do you propose that people able to play as nationalist factions in British colonies that sounds like quite a good idea. In reply to the godmodding issue i don't really know how to fix that perhaps foreign nations and their response to actions within the empire could be controlled by me but i am open to suggestions on how to fix this issue.

[The Free Territory of Makhnovia]

I would say that you should make it a World-Wide RP. British Empire in that era truly is global - if we count the Dominions it literaly spans the globe. Everything related to dissolution or preservance of the Empire is a global issue. It's not some country with localized problems like Weimar Germany or Sweden.

If I were you, I'd make it an alternate history RP connected with some kind of major instability in the UK.Other countries would almost be required to act on something like that.

[Rupudska]

I have a simple idea that I really like, so I'll share it here.

RP INTEREST AND FEEDBACK REQUEST

---

Please provide as much detail as possible.
RP's Overarching Concept: Protecting a cargo spaceship on a long trek through the stars, with all the adventure and danger that implies.
Genre/s: Science Fiction, Adventure, Action, Drama
Character or Faction Based: Character
Detailed Description: Players are mercenaries hired by the Imperial Galactic Navy (the Empire is the premier power in the galaxy and a 'peacekeeping' force, but not the only power) to guard and protect a cargo ship they do not know the contents of as it travels from one end of the galaxy to the other - all the way to Terra, through uncharted, unexplored, 'uninhabited', or just plain dangerous space, all to protect it from those other powers on its long and winding path - and the job application stated that even that might not protect it completely. The galaxy is massive, and FTL travel can only go so fast, and only drones can cross it in less than two months, and that's in a straight line with no stops. The journey will be long and hard, but the pay and the glory are more than enough to attract those from all species and walks of life in the Milky Way.

Need Help With: Interest. Maybe a little worldbuilding, but I'll be taking a cue from Traveller and early Star Trek both and be building light except for individual worlds, which I and the players can make up as we go.

Excellent. I'm honestly torn between handling the building offsite (probably Discord or an IRC channel) or on an interest thread here.

The setting sounds similar to one i wanted to make a while back, called The Motley crew, which was goint to be a cyberpunk dystopia esque FT rp where you are a merc on the run from companies that run the Old World adn the New.

Anyways, i wuld like to help and I have an rp site, that the messages can involve other people and i is basically a mini forum sort of thing in its own right.

How do you guys feel about a real-world RP, no fantasy. Based off an anime or two.

hmm...

hmm...

I'm not sure about such an idea. I can already live a life in the real world so I prefer to explore worlds unlike my own. Thus the closest I can think of that I'd be interested in is a slice of life with people of superhuman capabilities or inhuman features. An RP focused on daily life in a fantasy village or an urban fantasy city that's light vibrant and sociable; an RP that has the characters away from the less savor aspects of the Urban environment.


Or a place with near human aliens living along side us.

[Nuridia]

Maybe something with vampires.

I can certainly join that. I think I'd enjoy it in a modern setting.

[The Free Territory of Makhnovia]

Something like World of Darkness would be neat. Maybe we should start a WoD game here.

There was one, aeons back, by the name of A World Beyond.

Jolly ol' time.

[The Free Territory of Makhnovia]

Well, let's start a New One. I am thinking something like Kiev or Krakow during the 90's to evoke the post-socialist depression + East European Sabbath guys. :-)
