What about Fairly Modern Grimm? Will it ever see a revival with some of the original players returning?

Wolf Among Us 2 got cancelled months back, apparently even before Telltale shut down.

There is also a wacky idea I just got- 'The Shadow Years' - an RP set before the Social Wars (late 2290s with the wars kicking off in 2301). That era of free energy, growing automation, and concern over the genetic health of the population and environment following the Cold War and it's use of biological weapons, supersolders, and weaponize mutagen. To see the proto-Purist faction, the Created, and the stirrings of what would become the Mutationists- all in this pre-devastation as we play through a scenario that witnesses the community fall apart as society wars with it's self over these issues, and the new Global Government tried to maintain order- the introduction of the Pohounds for example or the creation of the Sub-Aqua Marine United Research Institute in a bid to usher in what should be a golden age post Cold War terror. Hey I'd be up for taking on my CEEP character before he decides to go into one of those 'until this blows over'.

I could play an earlier version of the Gunslinger back when he was still Django Rex - he'd be a super soldier boy scout like Robert Reagan but gradually losing grip on his sanity through a combination of the genetic modifications and his experiences, eventually culminating into becoming the Nameless Gunslinger.

I'd certainly love to get Fairly Modern Grimm going again but I'd need a story; or scenario- something like what's been wrote up for 'Shadow of the Third World' aka 'The Shadow Years'. Some 'game plan' so to speak for the players and myself as previously I tried to manage various unfocused multi-plots going in different directions regarding the two townships. I'm disappointed at not having a WAU2 but pleased the original publisher decided to put out CYOA style comics that deal with that story of one and two. Much like how the Walking Dead has continued production and seen to the end the conclusion of Telltale's 'The Walking Dead'.

In regards to Django Rex I do think that if he has some personal conflicts regarding the issues of which the Soicial Wars will be fought- it'll serve as a prelude to his latter conclusion that the world exists because he thinks it. For example he might by the end of this- when the wars break out and he becomes the Nameless have concluded that the Social Wars where his own inner conflicts reflected upon the world of his creation. That because he was conflicted the 'world he thought highly of shattered and twisted as characters embodying the ideas he pondered and brought life to the conflict of philio-soical positions into a physical manifestation' well- that he's the only one who can bring order to it all thus leading him to become the ruler he was earlier in his bio after the Social Wars.

I’m back for the moment, with an idea for an RP. Would anyone give some thoughts,insight, and comments on it?

Premise

On the year 2586, humanity is attacked by an alien race capable of intergalatic travel. Not completely outgunned, humanity already had access to space travel, but was only limited to staying within the confines of the Milky Way galaxy. Unprepared for this level of combat, it seems that Earth and everyone of its inhabitants would be lost. However, never giving up and backed against a wall, humanity managed to advance their technology and tactics enough to engage the aliens in a crude but effective ways. Winning several decisive battles against their foes, humanity forced a hasty retreat from their foe. A miracle, roughly half of humanity’s remaining military was sent to pursue their enemies, in an effort to make sure that they will not come back to cause anymore harm to their species. At the same time, the war had taken its toll on the planet, leaving no more than a few years before it’s unstoppable death. No other choice, whatever remained of humanity left for the stars in search for new homes.

Now it is 3074 A.E.E. (After Evacuation of Earth), humanity has established itself as a known superpower across several galaxies, hundreds of colonies spread throughout the universe. Unlike the humans of old, genetic and technological modifications to the human body are common amongst the general populace. This primarily to either make ease of living in certain conditions easier or simply because they can afford the luxury. Despite this, a United Human government still exists to gather data, create and enforce rules, and of course make a formidable military to dissuade any hostile intentions against humans. Among the current issues that has been brought forward, United Human Government (UHG) have their particular sight on going back to Earth, to see if the destruction of Earth has given it the chance to also start anew after several millennia of isolation from human influence. Gathering some of brightest scientific minds and allowing for some private contractors to go along with a small fleet of United Human Naval ships to explore the surface of Earth, with the sole intention of finding out whether or not life can be once again sustained on the planet.

A new adventure begins for the humans, at same time coming back to what once was their home. How will it do?

It certainly has elements I can get into. Are players controlling one of the naval ships in the fleet sent to explore Earth or will they be characters exploring the surface?

I have not considered players controlling separate ship, since I had imagined the fleet to be composed of no more than five ships. But it does bring the interesting prospect of each of this ships in fleet being a faction of sorts depending on the captain/commander. Hm, well I had intended for the RP to be character focused, but players controlling characters in the bridge would add an interesting aspect. Seeing as it would introduce the characters to reacting to what’s happening from the ground detached from the dangers there.

But primarily I plan the players to control those on the surface.

Despite my usual trend actually rather mild; Reptilian eyes and maybe some scaly patches around the temples of the head with some side effect though I'm not yet sure what that side effect is nor the benefits of having such modification.

Well the scales can be summed up as a luxury expense based on the character’s tastes. Although there might be a slight advantage in terms of protection, since I believe scales are less vulnerable to certain things than regular human flesh. For the eyes, I believe the most common thing would be to able to see in UV range and the infrared depending on what kind reptilian eyes your character decides to emulate.

But yes, something like those would be acceptable. In this setting, humans with certain features they desire like those we would call “furries” or animal people would possible.

I'll keep that in mind but I've found such to be disturbing in the past. Did I at one point think about creating some reptilian frankenstien body to transplant my briain into? Yes but I realized that to be insanity. So I've been put off by the whole 'becoming that genetically'... even if I sometimes entertain the thought of becoming more animal like in form. Like- eh- you know we all have different tolerance levels and altering the body is one of my 'no don't do that' barriers. ... (like in high school I was more vulnerable to such, one of the first jobs I nearly enrolled in was to be a medical test subject for gene splicing - a job I found on Craigslist with a website I could visit and did visit. I didn't take the job but you get what I mean, it's something an unhealthy brain turns to is such).

Still I'll keep it in mind but more likely then not I'll be mildly altered- probably ditch the temple scales and have altered fingers.

What RPs are you in or have been recently involved in?

[Harbertia]

While the next Gamma World will not be 'Shadow of the Third World' I'm drafting that up here.

About: Shadow of the Third World takes place prior to 'The Early Years'' during the build up to the Social Wars with the aim of exploring the issues that lead to society's collapse. The name 'Shadow of the Third World' has two meanings. One is a reference of course is that Gamma is code for Three (Alpha, Beta, Gamma, Delta) and thus the name is a reference to the world that will come. The second is reference to the state of the world now that the Cold War has ended. A Third World country was defined during our own world's Cold War as a nation that was unaligned with the west or the east but has since come to refer to a developing nation. The world of this RP is still recovering; weaponized mutagen like minefields is having to be cleaned up, housing and industry rebuilt, and the new world government must now define how it shall govern a world of peace. But all is not going well. As factories build themselves on total automation those homeless ones waiting for a new house are finding it difficult to locate work with most new jobs being specialist, entertainment, or intellectual in nature. Veterans of the Cold War and it's proxy conflicts are having to integrate into a world foreign to them. Some where even created for the war; man made man. The Cyberoid, partly clone partly android, has become the new slave and people are not blind to this. Regardless of a person's social standing all will soon take part in the Social Wars as domestic terrorism, political polarization, and force become the means upon which the population acts to change the world. The situation will only keep getting worse as the RP progresses with all actions heading to the climactic end- when the Cold War's surviving nuclear arms where launched drowning out the shouts of the discontent and tyrannical in a thunderous roar.

The Social Wars are not a subject to be taken lightly, and thus I must determine how to depict it. Tom Clancy's The Division seems closest to what happened out of media we have to draw inspiration from.

Seeing his own inner demons projected onto the world and considering himself the only one to make things right, the world he regards as his personal creation and responsibility. He would take on the name 'Iskander' when he became a ruler though we already know he that he eventually gave in to corruption and lost his way leading to his attempted assassination and deposition through which he becomes a Nameless Wanderer once more and tries to atone for his failure, at some point seeking out the mysterious 'Father' which would have lead to some unknown confrontation.

I'd certainly love to get Fairly Modern Grimm going again but I'd need a story; or scenario- something like what's been wrote up for 'Shadow of the Third World' aka 'The Shadow Years'. Some 'game plan' so to speak for the players and myself as previously I tried to manage various unfocused multi-plots going in different directions regarding the two townships.

Much like how the Walking Dead has continued production and seen to the end the conclusion of Telltale's 'The Walking Dead'.

Too bad there won't be a comic telling the story of Season 2, apparently Bill Willingham himself stated that was not a story for him to tell but for Telltale. And no news on any game studio willing to take it up either like Skybound did for TWD S4, likely because TWAU wasn't enough of a commercial success despite being a critical darling for Telltale's devoted fanbase.

Regarding FMG a new title could either be a reboot/sequel/spin-off/prequel. We've got humans with magic bloodlines from fairy tales living in the mundane world, there's a lot to potentially branch off from there:

• Time period, e.g. Wild West, Victorian era, Medieval age, 20th century, etc.
• Genre, e.g. Political thriller, murder mystery/suspense, adventure, etc.

One scenario I find interesting to speculate on concerns how the mundane world would react if the bloodlines were made public. The most obvious response would be akin to X-Men, which itself was an allegory for the Civil Right Movement.

Returning to the small town setting could still be interesting, more character focused and initially about how the bloodlines live day to day before some mystery emerges - maybe a murder that threatens to expose them.

A murder that leads into it becoming public? That sounds like the makings of a campaign right there.

Build it all up- establish character, what's at risk, see what unfolds. Like, just imagine how many people might feel like their trust has been betrayed or misplaced? Offended at not having been considered good enough to tell- or something of that nature. Imagine wondering how much of history is a lie created by omitting the bloodlines?

It would be a major event in the setting- shaking the core- creating a new world for better or worse. Imagine historians- having to revise works - imagine people complaining about the Grimms- or people waning objectivity- like people complaining about historical narratives with different bloodlines having different concerns. "Ah Yes, Hitler was a Wolf but he was more- he was a Wolf Sheperd. His father a Wolf, his mother of the Sheperd's bloodline." or "We are not trying to deminish the suffering the Jews but mearly trying to bring to light the peril of the Sheep; many of whom are Jewish."

The Social situation in this day of social media and SJW vigiliance- way it could be maddness if no one takes lead to manage the erupting chaos. Maybe people are rational... maybe.

The Great Divide - Breaking Benjamin (Division 2 Music Video)

Started work on this but haven't gotten far. I'm not sure how to open this RP up. But yeah that music video; and the Division is the closest I can think of to an inspiration we can draw from in getting players aware of what's going on. Don't know how to write it tastefully and projectively so players understand. Any videos you can suggest to help in getting players in the right mindest will be appreciated.

I for one realize that the Division Trailer is good for that. Perhaps better then the um... music video I linked to. I think it brings home just what the Social Wars where- and how civilization was reborn but it's not something to 'mention casually in words' when relaying to players what it is. It's not. The Social Wars shouldn't be portrayed lightly, it deserves all the humanity in it- the pain, the sorrow, dispaire, and hope- what drove people to fight in that divide- what they pushed back against, what they surcome to while doing so.

The devastation of biological weaponry, domestic terrorism, everything- can't be just mentioned and we can't just treat it as it being what it is - not casually can it be said that society collapsed and that be the end of it. If we are going to discuss and explore the situation we should do so fully.

The Social situation in this day of social media and SJW vigiliance- way it could be maddness if no one takes lead to manage the erupting chaos. Maybe people are rational... maybe.

70% inclined to believe irrational - rationality requires strict procedure and self-discipline, its unlikely to come about from a stressed or casual state of mind.

Believing in fairy tales and by extension magic as part of objective reality, it would be too absurd to consider and we would dismiss anyone claiming this, not even needing to rationalise such a choice. Until we're made to confront the unreal and then... well in Harry Potter if muggles ever learnt about magic on a public scale it would likely be treated as a new branch of science, which it probably is (some crazy physics). This would be a rational choice, or rather something out-there being incorporated into a rational system.

The initial reaction would be the least rational, perhaps understandably so. But given time to adjust a rational response should occur.

So in FMG maybe these bloodlines would be treated as a new or sub species of humans whom he tend to outwardly resemble. Some might become celebrities, like the Charming bloodline. Those descended from the likes of Bluebeard or the Big Bad Wolf on the other hand... would likely be ostracised (and they would blame the Grimm, whose tales informed the mundane world to be afraid of them).

Grimms... I see them enlisting into government services, they would be most knowledgeable about the bloodlines and magic and the secret history and adept at finding magical creatures.

Although there is an issue with demography - the Grimms informed the cultural consensus of Europe and North America, which in turn held sway in other regions but there would remain territories with different tales. For e.g. Princess Kaguya from Japan would imply the existence of Lunarians, which seems pretty difficult to hide in the modern world. How far did the Grimm stretch and do they have counterparts?

As cool as the Mortis Arc was from the 3D Clone Wars (where Anakin sees the events of RoTS occur before they happen) it turns out the 2D Clone Wars did something similar before, arguably even better:

Anakin's destiny is presented as an old fable, quite visually pleasing and quite good at conveying as sense of corruption from a dangerous power that led to the loss of loved ones despite intending to use it to protect them. At I'm pretty sure this came out before RoTS so I'm impressed with the foreshadowing that must have been built off Anakin's character from AotC.

Way back when I shared with you a link to all the episodes, I began waiting for you to to get far enough to see this. It's my favorite part of the 2d clone wars. The actual episode presents the case that Anikan, even after falling was still the chosen one. The position that in killing Sidious he restored balance to the force. There is a debate on if Luke or Anikan is the chosen one and this position takes that Sidious destroyed the Jedi, Anikan destroyed the Sith, and with Luke having become darker during the original triiology was the restored balance. Again this was before the Force Awakens and The Last Jedi.

At the end of the 24th century, the social issues of the previous decades exploded into global conflicts in which every part and member of society was involved. Civilization was destroyed in the sweep of these Social Wars as the lasers, bio-genetic agents, and nuclear warheads took their toll. Those who survived soon found them selves witnessing a bio-genetic revolution as animals like none other soon repopulated the Earth. 150 years after the wars, lizards with telepathy and unnatural savage creatures became common sight. The age of Anarchy passed, civilization was reborn.

It is a well known fact that during the Social Wars many high ranking officials took shelter as the land was decimated by domestic, and foreign assault alike. As was planned they, and others followed government procedures meant to insure survival, and a chance to rebuild. These shelters where only meant to be inhabited for ten months, unlike CEEPs which were privately funded, and made use of stasis chamber technology. After ten months these individuals emerged to find the world strange, and harsh. They began rebuilding, connecting with other survivors, only to be pushed back by things so horrid the presence was unbearable. Many abandoned the pursuit, instead setting out to forge their own path, and a new world. The headstrong citizens, and officials, however remained true to their aims, and through contact with other groups established over the years a network to not only promote the rebirth of the nations of the Earth, but the emergence of peace between all nations. Agreeing that the world can not be revived if the people are still at war.

It's now the year 3001, great progress has been made in restoring the nations of old. You are part of that restoration, an example of how far it's come- a citizen of the Restored United States of America you have rose to a position in the nation's congress as the challenge persists.

As US Federal Forces and efforts work more states should be re-established with the capacity to take part in federal politics. Those states not

Foreign Policy

• Recognition: The USA only recognizes the nations and World Government from before the War. It does not recognize for diplomatic or other purpose the nations that have sprung up in the over 700 years since the Social Wars.
• Intervention: The USA does not interfere in the affairs of other Restored Nations.
• Global Unity: The USA is part of the Restorationist Network and obligated to restore the World Government. World Government presently exists in a 'hybernation' status where upon only a few of it's organs have been re-instated. Those are the organs responsible for issuing IDs (as all are citizens of the Earth), and regulating Domars (the global currency). As the nations are surrounded by hostiles re-establishment of Earth's Military has not proceeded as each member currently needs what manpower they have for their own security.

Again this was before the Force Awakens and The Last Jedi.

Although the sequel trilogy thus far would seem to suggest that Anakin's role was simply to end the Sith but imbalance remained on part of his grandson Kylo, prompting the Force to use Rey as a counter - suggesting that while balance was temporarily restored in RotJ that wasn't Anakin's grand destiny after all.

Then again I've heard Lucas is helping out a bit with Ep 9 so maybe he'll incorporate the Chosen One prophecy to have a lasting effect in some way. Hopefully.

Regarding this micro-episode itself, that scene where an angry Anakin force crushed those Separatist scientists without a hand did feel like shades of Vader emerging, it was heroic sure but also frightening, even villainous - he doesn't talk, just intimidates and uses brute lethal force against his helpless foes- and the people he rescues revere him as their hero.

Yet it probably wasn't the Jedi way to kill those scientists although considering how much Anakin abhorred slavery his reaction made sense personality-wise.

-------------

I liked 3D Clone Wars, it got better with each season getting more mature. Naturally I was far less enthusiastic about Rebels... but rewatching 2D Clone Wars I feel there's no time wasted at all and everything is great, literally - story, pacing, characters, action - and no one can do 2D animation like Tartokovsky.

The 2D Clone Wars are my favorite I'm also not really enthusiastic about Rebels. Also I like your words regarding what happened in that episode- for some reason I didn't think of his years of slavery but that make sense now.

As for the Sequel Trilogy the first directed stated that to keep the franchise going he ''destabilized the force' feeling that with out the Dark Side vs Light Side element Star Wars had no high conflict to drive the action.

I've had a very vague idea for a sci-fi char RP vaguely inspired by Farscape (of anyone else remembers that show):

• Bunch of prisoners take over a prison transport and end up on the run.
• RP is essentially cooperative. People can play former guards, political prisons, POWs, thieves, murderers, whatever, but they essentially need to keep running or end up getting blasted to bits.
• Design your own alien or play the lone human!

Does that kernel of an idea interest anyone else in the group? I much prefer seeing these things up as a team.
