[P2TM Chat] The Restaurant at the End of the Multiverse III

Oh, wait. The 1st is Tuesday, not Wednesday. Okay, I'll post it on the 2nd.

And here it is. Join it.

Out of curiosity, were there no 2018 P2TM RP Awards this year?

I haven't seen anything about it either. Last year, it didn't fare very well, and no judging was actually done. Not enough entries, so not enough interest to continue it, I guess.

Pretty much this. The reaction from the community was a profound meh, and despite bribings and beatings essentially none of the judges could be forced to show up, so there wasn’t exactly a great drive to resuscitate the idea again for this year.

Well, I am one of the few who was saddened to see it go. Liked the awards. Always tried to nominate good posts.

Despite, or maybe because Fallout 76 was a colossal failure, I've been wanting to make a Fallout RP set in post-apocalyptic Tokyo with a neo-shōgunate and revived Japanese Red Army fighting for control of the Kantō region. There would be quite a lot of instances for cargo cults to develop based on machines and pop culture of the pre-war era, resulting in cults which worship electric yellow mice and try to catch them in red & white balls. I don't know if such a concept would be well received though.

Would the shoulder-mounted atomic bomb launchers be called Fat Man?

[Kassaran]

And are ghouls and other mutants called Youkai and Oni?

I'd be interested in a Fallout setting with a group of rebels called "Atompunks" who ride old pickup trucks, wear power armor, and listen to punk rock while raining nuclear fire on raiders and mutants.

It's an idea I've had for a while. I find it amusing.

So...the Atom Cats?

[Insaeldor]

Isn't the whole point of fallout to evoke amaracana and comment of very american centric themes? Setting it in japan just wastes the whole idea because it throws out almost all of the thematic elements and imagery.

Just makes an OG Post-Apoc RP set in japan. That probably more artisticly fulfilling in the long run anyway

[Pasong Tirad]

Gotta also remember that Japan has a very different take on the whole Nuclear thing considering that, you know, they got nuked. Somebody falls in a vat of radioactive waste in America, they get superpowers. Somebody falls in a vat of radioactive waste in Japan, they turn into a 100-meter tall monster that eats Tokyo.

I basically did that once, if you want feel free to use that as a base, though in mine pop culture got stopped by the nukes in the 80s.

If you're referring to Godzilla, he's not 100 meters tall. According to the movies, he's tall enough to tower over skyscrapers and yet short enough to get tangled in electrical wires.

You may be right but that's not exactly the point I was trying to make.

I don't care about your point. I just wanted to flex one of the few pieces of Godzilla trivia I know.

That does sound interesting.

The "Atom Cats" sounds like the name of a really bad 70's psychedelic band.

[Hanafuridake]

Yes, there would also be underwater mutants referred to as “kawatora.” another word for kappa which I think sounds cooler.

Fallout intentionally parodies the propaganda and pop culture of America in the Cold War, and there's quite a gold mine of 1960's - 70's Japanese history and pop culture to draw on for a Fallout RP : Pinkie violence films, the Tatenokai, ũman ribu, etc.

[Nea Byzantia]

Imagine if somebody made an Indiana Jones RP? Would anybody be interested in that?

[Esternial]

Ok. If you want fantasy, talk to G-Tech, who, if IIRC, does quite a bit of fantasy. Also, Happy New Year!

I can neither confirm nor deny this statement ;)

Actually, iirc, essentially all of our P2TM Mentors do fantasy to one extent or another.

Honestly I prefer sci-fi but fantasy is more available.

[Talchyon]

It sounds fun, but how would you work it out? What parts would characters play?

Whatever part they want. Would be fairly open for people to be who they want, or even create their own characters.
