Charlotte fits in everything.


Temp, why are you even here? Considering the sheer amount of copy-paste characters everyone has...

I rarely copy-paste characters, but usually I used parts of characters from other RP...

Alright, here's what I've done with the card game. I have an idea of the mechanics, though I still need to type them up. Here's the list of cards so far, if you have a weapon idea, please suggest! Though keep it sort of an alt-hist style, think 1940s but with airships and stuff. E.g. no lasers.

I have a list of names, I roll some dice and add the two names together. Then I tend to use a new backstory if it's a new name, or I use an older backstory but adjust it to fit the setting.

Also -- I've had some inspiration, how would you all feel about an every so slightly mekanikal naval combat game using a card system?

For unknown reasons, this makes me think at KanColle.

KanColle RP needs to happen. I don't care if we use historical WW2 warships besides the IJN ships or our own ships; IT NEEDS TO HAPPEN!!!

If it is historical ships, I reserve Yuudachi.

I would love a KanColle RP.

Such a hard choice... probably Bismarck or Prinz Eugen

Never seen/read/played Kantai Collection, but if you can play as a ship...

THEN HELP ME WITH THE MEKANIKS DAMMIT! What I have is listed above, suggestions welcome!

I-401 all the way baby!

Maybe we will be able to make our own, since mostly only the IJN and a few Kriegsmarine ships exist in KanColle for now. Yamato exists, it even was in the anime.

I just need more weapons, so far I only have a Rotary Rocket Tube, Torpedo Tube, Acoustic Torpedo Tube, and 3 cm Cannon Turrets.

I don't know. Maybe something like the rocket launcher of the Katyusha? Something that throws magnetic mines?

Or at least take the American ships for once. I want me some USS Iowa.

If we are allowed to make our own, the ISS (Imperial Stormwrathian Ship) Josephus Matthias battleship would be there certainly.

The game I'm making can have interchangable settings, so we could play it as if it was Kancolle esque. However, it's designed to be more like Last Exile.

BUT IF YOU WANT THE SYSTEM TO WORK I NEED WEAPONS

What about the Beehive rounds used on the Yamato? Perhaps they can be miniaturized to be used on cruisers and/or light warships.

I already have flak emplacements, and the entirety of the game takes place on massive airships built like naval battleships, called Luftships. An example of a battle may look something like this...

I know, I was suggesting those. Will the RP be mostly based on Last Exile or will it use WW2-early Cold War weapons?

Both, but focus on more 1940s style kit. More diesel than Exile, but not quite Cold-War. Trace suggested a minelayer earlier, and I thought that that would be a good idea, but maybe some other stuff would be interesting.

And then you'll need autocannons, gyros, scout planes, CIWS, ramming equipment, flamethrowers, mortars, boarding parties.

Planes - Check
Ramming - Check
Autocannons (Flak/Naval?) - Check(?)
CIWS - Check

I've found one...

This is amazing. It is seemingly the rare "black" character in an anime. (without being racist)
