The Mechanics' Guild: An RP(G) Community

[The Burning Sun]

Not sure how to register the Guild...

I wouldn't worry about it. The exchange is for forumites, not entities.

List is as a benefactor or something; it'll help generate publicity.

All taken care of; no trouble. Feel free to purchase a larger banner for yourself as you wish.

Goddamit. I'm busy then.

[G-Tech Corporation]

So, I'm thinking of making a simultaneous turns map based RP, either post-apoc or medieval. Takers?

Do it. I'm team post-apoc, but I let's make it Mad Max style. Is that okay?

If I roll post-apoc the world probably won't be as abjectly screwed, but similar.

Do it. I have a char concept already.

Post-apoc character RPG? I'm interested to see where this leads. Post for tag.

I insist that radiation poisoning/mutation factor into the game mechanics somewhere.

It'd probably be a character-and-faction RP.

Hmm... Then maybe consider Diplomacy-esque gameplay?

Everyone Is trying to screw over everyone else, but nobody really knows what anyone else is actually planning.

I'm thinking more along the lines of folks wandering about an overworld map, gathering resources, dueling brigands, all that jazz. The forums don't really lend themselves to secret IC gameplay.

[Shyluz]

G-Tech, what type of apocalypse are we dealing with? Give me like a game or movie example if you can. (Mad Max, Shadowrun, Walking Dead etc...)

Probably more along the lines of Interstellar. The world is fucked, but by degrees; no societal collapse happened, humanity just couldn't keep up their standards of civilization and eventually devolved.

Huh. Well, you're the expert on this.

What I'm thinking is that society devolved into city states, because nobody can afford the sheer fuel cost of patrolling several cities.

So it'll be a neofeudal society, where the central government still exists, but they don't have enough fuel to actually police much more than the capital district. The first idiot to show up with a machine gun to a town now effectively controls it.

The only people who travels between cities are merchants, bandits, diplomats and such.

Reminds me of RIfts.

Never heard of that setting.

[Seno Zhou Varada]

Never heard of that setting.

Basically golden age of humanity, nukes, ALIEN PORTALS OPEN UP, magic and psionics spread across earth, aliens visit, society goes boom for 200 years then slowly begins to return.

Magic and psionics?

Err... Not exactly my preference...

So basically... Caravaneer, with less government and less desert?

Man, I love that game.

I only played 2, but it was amazing... and amazingly hard. Seriously, I can't tell you how many time a bandit got off a lucky headshot on me.

I saved frequently, then fucked myself over when I saved after accepting a mission that I could not possibly complete. Dragging around a useless escort is stupid.
