RP's Overarching Concept: Post-Apocalyptic RP set initially in the American Southwest (Fallout 1 and 2 style), based on a Boy and His Dog, I Have No Mouth and Must Scream, and The New Order: Last Days of Europe. Set in a world gone mad after an Axis Victory in WWII bringing much of it to its knees and finally to outright oblivion through nuclear hellfire. Requiring the survivors to pick up the pieces in the grim and grueling aftermath.
Genre/s: Post-Apocalyptic, Alt-History, retro 80s-PT.
Character or Faction Based: Faction based with break out characters expected in said factions.
Detailed Description:
Pre-War
Post-War Aftermath
Inital Player Map
The year is 1984, the omnicidal Heinrich Himmler of the Greater German Reich has just passed away and have set off his deadman switch to annihilate the world that was already in the midst of a four-way cold war in a quick and violent chain of nuclear hellfire. One of the last bastions of the Free World, the United States, is quickly wiped out in the ensuring chaos, leaving behind its struggling people in a desperate struggle for survival in this brave new world created through the events of Judgment Day. Now that the dust has settled, the immediate fallout has brought survivors of various colors to try and pick the pieces and carry their own destiny in this new wasteland set in the American Southwest, and eventually the rest of the Americas.
Need Help With: Gauging general interest for the time being, this RP is way, way down the line at the moment of writing this.

"Put that down, Mr. Eric." He said. "She's obviously not a chicken."

I really enjoyed Heroes LIVE, and I thought that the mechanics system was a pretty good one. It was going pretty well until...well, you know.
I think there's something to be said for RNG or mechanics in RPs to add to the potential of losing. In simple collaborative storytelling (which a lot of RPs are), it's not often that the party takes an L. Adding a little more gravity by means of a system somewhat outside OP/player control is always a plus in my mind.
On an unrelated note, I'm looking forward to Psychic Dreams. Sounds like a cool idea and I'll definitely be signing up whenever it drops.

RP's Overarching Concept: Where the Stars Fell
Genre/s: Post Apocalypse, Horror
Character or Faction Based: Character
Detailed Description: Earth has been ravaged by an unknown cataclysm, but what or when, no one can remember. It's the nature of the virus, for those that suffered the most at its hands, they forgot all of themselves and became something else. Others, simply can't remember when they began to forget. There are some who think they've somehow recovered, but the doctors all say Humanity seems to have collectively blinked... and now we're stuck with the aftermath. Time passes strangely, almost incongruently across the world and now the survivors are left trying to pick up the pieces and complete a puzzle they don't remember starting. Perhaps, if anything, there's only those clues left by the few who remembered how to read and write, before even that too slipped away from them.
Players in Where the Stars Fell are combatting a world where Humanity has forgotten itself. Many lost their sense of self, or purpose, and the results were not pretty. Perhaps they grew feral and savage, hunting in brutish packs that picked off lone survivors or foreigners, or maybe they lost their will to live completely and died where they stood, waiting to remember what it was they were trying to do. No one knows the origin of the virus, it's anti-memetic in that way, long-term memories seemed to have failed first, but from what most can remember, the incident that started it all happened at least a month ago. For some, glimpses of a life they once had may reveal itself in dreams, while others only receive the sense of Deja Vu and the sand of a dream slipping through the fingers of a conscious mind.
Each week IRL would be a day. Players going inactive for more than three weeks IRL without reason would be considered dead. For those weird jumps in IRL time between dialogues happening, this is explained IC by rifts, which are a sort of visual-mental hallucination. A character walks up to another and begins an interaction, but suddenly it's night-time... or maybe they've moved down the street suddenly. No, there's no teleportation, but rather they've recovered from having just fallen into a rift. To others, it simply appears as though they've suddenly gone silent and turned around, walking away- or more eerily, gone silent and have resorted to only staring blankly into the horizon.
Also was thinking about how a xenovirus that attacks the brain and it's ability to see and perceive things temporally, to create long and short-term memories, and ultimately degrades those centers, would affect persons by making them see something called 'Shades'. A Shade is a fragment of a memory, but the brain registers it as a real phenomena. Interacting with a shade will generally kill someone as they bring on a sudden heightened sense of paranoia, fear, ands inconsolable hysteria which can result in sudden cardiac arrest. I'll need help working out the actual medical particulars and details of it all, but it seems relatively simple- as brains are ya know. I mean, I have one, how hard could it be to make a complex space virus that affects one of nature's most complex and least understood organs in our body?
I will be providing each player with a small individual chunk of a map where they can encounter the others. The map has been pre-generated and players will all have a limited inventory, but when a rift occurs, there's a strong chance they made suddenly come to their senses several hundred meters from their starting location, and missing anything that they didn't have fastened to themselves. Sometimes a rift can result in only seconds of lost time, and for others it can be several hours. All that matters is that players keep moving, keep interacting, and keep working to uncover the origin behind Where the Stars Fell.
Need Help With: Gauging interest, I've been working on trying to figure out what I've been wanting from an RP and I actually like the idea behind this and will most likely be writing it up as an individual side project when I get the time. It's just one of those late-night shower thoughts that came to me and I wanted to get written down.

- The first one is something I proposed a while back of doing a DC RP set in Gotham. It's going to be based off of the previous big Gotham RPs, mainly A New Generation. It's something that is going to require a lot of admin control on, but I'm still done on doing it.
- The second one is a RP based on the horror game series Amnesia. I may have mentioned this a while back also, but it's a story that set within the Amnesia universe in a different location during the early 70s. Very gothic, but should have its interesting moments.
- Lastly, this is a new idea. How about a cyberpunk RP? I'm aware of Vice, but I want to do a cyberpunk RP set more 20 minutes in the future (set in the mid-2040s). It's going to have to do a worldbuilding thread, but something I definitely want to have is the use of beam katanas. Remember No More Heroes? In this RP, you can have a character use just that. The RP will still use traditional cyberpunk aspects of dready rainy atmosphere similar to Blade Runner, along with having body modifications, but I want to make the setting colorful.

Just want to note that Cyberpunk, as much as it is an aesthetic setting, is more about the underlying evils of super-late capitalism than about the body modifications. Just mentioning it, because that is where some Cyberpunk settings go awry.
