So, got an Idea for Harry Potter RP. Probably gonna be stuck on the back burner for a while, but it's a small little idea I may drop in the next couple months... Or next week depending on how motivated I am.

Any commentary on my thoughts on the Elder Scrolls economy?

Any commentary on my thoughts on the Elder Scrolls economy?

I think it's the closest you can get, really. With TES starting out as a D&D Campaign setting, I've always seen it as 1 Septim = 1 Copper in D&D.

Funny actually most economy balancing mods make a Septim Copper, with Silver and Gold Septims being worth a lot more.

Doom, probably.

That's no trumpet, and without any lips he's never going to get the right embouchure to play it.

[Kassaran]

That space horror RP was mostly going to be set something in like 50 years from now tech, but it happens a few hundred years further down the line because of sub-light travel and cryo.

I kinda like Grestin's RP idea from the last page even though I'm not typically into AH or historical RP. The idea sort of reminds me of Fallout if it was only based on the lore from before the apocalypse(the mix of old and new technology and the world war thing). I'd be up to help develop that more, my only concern is that threads with a ton of alternate history are more prone to flopping because it's not as easy for someone to jump into, because of the lore that would need to be learned. A lot of players, even good writers, don't like to bother with plenty of backstory. When I was an OP(in a past life on a past account) in a mildly popular thread, there were plenty of background questions that could've been answered if the players just read the whole opening post. If you're making an AH heavy thread, my advice is to be sure that you actually need all the background, because while details are fun to add in, if the thread relies on your players knowing small details to be able to write their posts, the chances of it being a flop will skyrocket.

That advice turned out longer than I expected when I started typing it, but I sort of have experience with that.

Anyway, I have a couple ideas of my own and I'm trying to decide which one to commit to:
1: A darker and grittier superhero RP set in a world where superhumans work for their respective governments as enforcers.
2: A stereotypical spy RP featuring over the top action and feats that bend the laws of physics.
3: Some kind of episodic sci fi RPG following the crew of a starship, Star Trek style. This one would have more traditional RPG elements.

Free Traders

Welcome the the Frontier, the edge of civilised space. A place where people attempt to create new lives for them selves after the horrors of the War, a place for those for whom the was never really ended. For every upstanding farmer, mineral prospector, hab wife and doctor there are bandits, desperados, pirates and mercenaries. It's a rough life out here on the Frontier. A place where the long arm of the law is not long enough. That's were people like me and you come in.

We are Free Traders. We are neither criminals or the law. Neither light nor dark, but grey. We can be protecting a trade convoy one day to raiding those same ships the next. All depends on who pays us the most. We are mercenaries, old soldiers, men running from there past. We are guns for hire, ships for rent. We do what we do for credits and damned what the Authority says about it.

So, you with us?

So what is this? Simply put this is a rp in part by Firlefly, Star Wars to a degree and some other old time western movies and obscure 80's cartoons. You will be apart of a group of former soldiers, mercenaries, bounty hunters and other such kinds of people who must work together as the crew of the Vanguard. As a Free Trader you will be completing various missions ranging from simple VP protection to the shady business of large corporations.

History relevant to the Frontier and the Free Traders begins in the 2070's with the Great War. Fought between the People's Republic of China and the United States of America over mineral rights on the moon to was the first was to utilize space as one of its battlefields. Nearly all the decisive battles that took place in the 6 year long war were fought either on the moon or in low earth orbit. From the years 2073 to 2079, 500 million people were killed and much of Asia and part of the continental US were heavily damaged by war. After the war a new international organization was formed. The United Nation Space Authority (UNSA) was formed to govern the various colonies of humanity across the sol system.

By the year 2230 humanity has colonized most of the sol system, with nearly four billion human living on a planet other than earth, and nearly 9 billion human calling earth home. Then came the Separatist War. The colonies on Mars, the moons of Jupiter, and the moons of Saturn all declared their independence from the UNSA in the year 2259. The decade long war the followed would be one of the bloodiest wars ever fought by humanity, with nearly a billion dead and a decade of war. Once more, a new organization was formed to administer the ever growing colonies. The Federal Earth Authority was formed to govern both the Earth, and the colonies. Humanity was united under a single banner.

The next major milestone would happen in the year 2278 with the invention of the FTL drive. Humanity spread across the stars in a rate the boggled the mind. By the year 2314 humanity has colonized hundreds of worlds and had come into contact with a vast number of alien races, from the reptilian Shanxi to the marid of races that make up the Tagali Federation. Over the next hundred or so years piece would be years of relative peace.

Then they came. The Rivvoith Imperium. Commeing from the fringe of the galactic south they had been ignored by the various powers of the galactic north, the Rivvoith came like a thief in the night. Never seen, never heard, they killed all in there path. Four twelve years they swept up nation after nation in there bloody conquest of the galactic north. In the thirteenth year of their conquest the Rivvoith began their attack in the Federal Earth Authority. A cascade of alliances and pacts formed up and the Alliance was formed. With the FEA, the Tagali Federation, the Shanxi Empire, and the United Antivarian Republic all banded together to fight of the aggression of these invaders.

And so the bloodiest war in recorded history began in earnest. The Rivvoith were winning in the early part of the war, storming world after world in both the FEA and the Tagali Federation with little signs of the Rivvoith stopping. And than the tides turned as the Rivvoith neared the human home world. In a massive battle at Proxima Centauri, the combined fleet of the Alliance turned back the invasion.

Eight years of bloody liberation would follow as the Rivvoith were pushed out of human and Tagali territory. In the year 2457 the Rivvoith found themselves defending their home territory. Both sides, exhausted by the long war decided that peace was the best option. The peace treaty was signed and the rebuilding of many worlds would begin.

The year is now 2462, the FEA is still liking it wounds after the War and millions of former soldiers, war refugees and poor are leaving the safety of the built up central systems for the promise of a new start in the Frontiers.

History is done. Going to work on stuff for the Frontier next. Anything else that should be added?

Providence

Summary

It has been six years since the zombie outbreak and governments around the world have since fallen to the undead hordes. The first outbreak was in Europe, in the Netherlands, and soon spread to the rest of the continent and soon the world. But not all hope was lost during the chaos, and soon the survivors banded together to build safety among the ashes of civilization. Safe zones appeared from the ruins, and soon factions were competing for resources and territory. After four long years the survivors are rebuilding, but will these new settlements work together or will their be war on the horizon?

Overview:

This rp is set in the city of Providence, Rhode Island and the outbreak stated in 2015. The current year is 2021 and several factions have started to form in the city. The infected are still around and are a present danger for the inhabitants of the city.

I actually had considered the possibility of using the globe-trotting world war espionage scenario as a way of both introducing the lore and as a way of keeping things fresh. The major nations would be, essentially, just different flavors of missions and threats to overcome. Different enemy types, if you would.

That said, the idea was mostly something I'd been sitting on for some time, and I really just wanted to get it out there and see if it could hold any water. Evidently, in it's current incarnation, it does not.

Ergo, I might toy around with some other side project ideas to see what I come up with. Playing Stellaris for a few days again has definitely given me some ideas for a potential RP. Maybe even a free-form Future-tech nation esque idea.

Hey, maybe we could collaborate if you're interested in FT. I'm currently drafting the thread for the superhero idea I mentioned, and I'm likely to go ahead with that one because I already have a co-OP for it that I know from an older thread, but I still have the idea for something that follows a starship. Not really a nation RP but it would be a sandbox space one and it would probably follow a crew of pirates or mercs. I'm going to be running one thread so I won't be making that one, but if someone else wants to, I can help a lot with developing it and/or Co-OPing.
