How will the overall layout of the RPG be?: Ongoing RPG setup in the same vein as the other RPGs

Premise of RPG, if it is a user created RPG see below for applicable additions to this Applicaton, (Must be a paragraph or longer):
Cobra, a militaristic organization, has embedded itself all throughout the United States as well as the globe. Their sole mission: creating chaos and anarchy, and gaining power through terrorism and extortion, and not stopping until the governments of the world have toppled, and Cobra reigns supreme.
It's leader, the enigmatic and charismatic man known only as Cobra Commander, has convinced like minded individuals to join him on his crusade, rallying around him not only an army of soldiers, but a formidable cabinet of powerful personalities to help govern the growing organization. Now, with the pieces in place, Cobra Commander appears to be set to make his first strike in his war against the world...

In order to combat this growing threat, the United States government has issued the creation of a special team of elite soldiers, hand picked from the other military branches.
Chosen by the President of the United States to run the project is the highly decorated Briganier General Lawrence J. Flagg. Flagg immediately went about selecting a field leader and commander for the team, one Colonel Clayton Abernathy, codename: Hawk.
Hawk accepted the job and has begun his first mission of his new career: going out and recruiting the soldiers he deems worthy to become members of Special Counter-Terrorist Group: Delta, which would become affectionately known to the world at large as the G.I. Joes...


What will this RPG bring to the RPG forums? (please write two complete sentences): Loosely based off the comics universe (loosely in the sense that we're starting from the beginning), this RPG will allow players to roleplay in a rich, fictional world of intrigue, espionage, and intense military action and drama. Players choose from the myriad of characters from the comic universe and are able to play them from their origin on.

Ok so this has been here for almost a year now. Don't think my posting here will do much but with a movie on the way and all the press. Maybe showing some interest might some how get something moving on getting a game started. If nothing else I can at least hope.
 
Let it go, dude. Let's look at the track record of the RPG's, shall we?

Dawn of Marvels died.

Smallville died.

DC: New Age died.

Multiversers died.

The Danger Room died.

The Movie RPG died.

The Supernatural RPG died.

Transformers died.

Star Wars died.

Silver Age died.

Days of Marvels Future died.

Beyond: The RPG of Tomorrow died.

What If? died.

And guess what? This would die.

EDIT: Oh, and I forgot to mention Why So Serious? Add that to the list.
 
Christ. You make it seem like there's no hope or anything. :cmad:

I wouldn't say there's no hope. I mean, sure, Westchester and RoM are at their breaking points. And yeah, G&M and Get Violent have been limping along for a while. But look at CAH! That survived!

:dry:
 
Westchester? ...Already?
 
Jesus...what is it with me being AGM of RPGs that fail? :csad:
 
Perhaps they fail because you're AGM? :p
 
I just stumbled onto it and thought it was a cool idea. If nothing comes of it then that's how it is. I just thought it was an interesting and maybe worth a shot at some point in the future.

Problem with your reasoning as to why now would be a good time: look at Transformers RPG. There was all the hype about the movie, and so a lot of people wanted to join the RPG. Then when the movie released? Slowly but surely people dropped out until it died. That "hype" that was created since there was a movie release wasn't enuogh: it died.

Didn't know that I wasn't around on the chats for the Transformers RPG. That kinda sucks sounds like it would have been fun.
 
The Danger Room died.

Well to be technical, :p The Danger Room wasn't really an RPG :/ It was just an area to practice fighting posts and random match-ups...heck Byrd and I who wanted it for fun didn't even have time for it..so it was more of a tool that never reached usefulness. ^_^
