[Ithalian Empire]

I may make some kind of Roman-era RP, either in the Roman Republic or the peak of the Empire. It'll be faction-based. Does that sound good?

This isn't faction based, but a Roman Political RP would be really cool.

Set in the build up to Caesars civil war.

Or the aftermath.

Or, alternatively, after the death of Augustus, when the question was raised whether Tiberius was to succeed him, or the Republic should be reinstated.

[Hanovereich]

Or near the end when factions are growing with different ideas on what to do. All of them are great ideas.

[Hopal]

Set in the build up to Caesars civil war.

Or the aftermath.

Or, alternatively, after the death of Augustus, when the question was raised whether Tiberius was to succeed him, or the Republic should be reinstated.

All of these scenarios a Roman RP are very intriguing, adding on to the idea of the aftermath of Ceasar's Civil War it would interesting for maybe a scenario right before Ceasar's assassination where the players could decide how that turns, or maybe right after that.

[Hanovereich]

A POD where Caesar survives to continue his expansions like Augustus or Trajan?

[Madrinpoor]

I'd love to be a part of any of these, player or Co-op. It would probably have to be character, not faction though.

[Olthenia]

I recall some Roman RPs a while back where the players were Roman senators, scheming, plotting, and so forth.

I'd love another go at that.

[Theyra]

So would a faction based zombie rp or maybe one a settlement surviving after a zombie outbreak be interesting. How does either sound?

Those are always fun. I could offer some pointers from ones I have put together in the past, if you'd like.

Sure, I am open to some advice.

Most Definitely.

That last one sounds really familiar. Hmm.

[G-Tech Corporation]

I ran a faction zombie RP in the past which you might enjoy searching for inspiration, or I'd be happy to help workshop categorically.

[Hanovereich]

Wonder how this goes...

RP INTEREST AND FEEDBACK REQUEST

---

Please provide as much detail as possible.
RP's Overarching Concept: Historical political RP
Genre/s: Historical, Roman Empire, Politics
Character or Faction Based: Character, but you can form informal factions
Detailed Description: It is the height of the Roman Empire. The Senate, an old and important branch of Roman administration, has risen to become the most powerful institution the Emperor could rely upon. Its consuls are commanders of the military, its senators from well-known and respected families in all sectors of life, and they all meet to discuss the future of the greatest empire in its time. But as more power comes to Rome, more chances for that power arise. And you, as a senator, must ensure that you join the right faction, lest you become a victim of all the power struggles.

Need Help With: Better lore, more ideas, a title, and generally fixing it up.

I think I might premiere a RP the end of summer, but I want you all to give recommendations to which one would be good. I can't give major specifics to avoid spoilers, but all of them have a connecting theme related to a private RP I'm doing. All 4 are still WIP, but already have a story to go along.

Six Feet Under: A blend of mystery, comedy, and horror, along with parodying modern-day films such as Knives Out, Ready or Not, and Hereditary. Six Feet Under focuses on a Rashomon structured set-up that is heavily character-based. The story focuses on a suspicious murder of a famous author in her mansion, where everyone attending her will and funeral seems to have a secret of their own. How long exactly until these funeral guests keep their dirt hidden? Well, you could say until they go six feet under, hence the title.

Amnesia: Folie A Deux: An attempt at a past-tech RP set after World War 1, this Amnesia RP is to set a bridge between the first two games and Rebirth in a new setting based around the first. The story concerns your characters having been brought to an isolated German village for a various reasons involving a mysterious aristocratic family not far away. Your character had got amnesia as the RP would imply, where they realize that they may be forced to prevent a calamity from happening, as your character tries to survive the night and save everyone in the process.

The Community: A dark comedy RP based around It's Already Sunny in Philadelphia, the RP serves as an exercise in making flawed characters living in a dark side of a popular area. For this RP, it's set in Florida at the actual shadow of outside the Magic Kingdom, mostly at a motel where characters would constantly get into misadventures. Pretty much in a Florida Project setting, it does delve into some topics in an exaggerated but still realistic part of a real-life setting, while also serving as a good RP to practice developing a character.

"Wonder World": I cannot reveal the true name for this RP, otherwise this will cause an endless surge of hype from many many MANY people. What can I reveal to you about a RP currently elusive? Well, I revealed the true name to one person. The setting is set at a deserted amusement park as part of a twisted game. Plus, it's a 4th sequel to a RP that I have made from time and time again. Can your character survive Wonder World?

MNM - Great ideas, all of them. I'd go for 1 or 3. 4 also sounds interesting.

Bet.

Anybody wanna help me with worldbuilding a dark fantasy RP?

Sure

Basically, it's inspired by this RP I forgot the name of I did here years ago. Players will take on the role of a contender for the mantle of Dark Lord, in a world where a new embodiment of evil and badness is chosen once a millennium

Sounds really fun!

So basically, it's another char RP loosely based on the colonization of the Caribbean and the golden age of sail
