Screenname of the Proposed RPG’s Game Master: Electro UK

Do You Have An Instant Messenger that we can reach you on for better conversation? (i.e MSN, Yahoo, AIM, ect.) And if so, what is your screenname?: MSN: [email protected]

Gamemasters/Assistant Gamemasters already chosen: Just me so far, if the people who I’d like to join, join, I have an idea of who could be on the staff roster.

How will the overall layout of the RPG be?: I’d imagined this’d be limited to a set number of seasons, with only one or two GMs and a few more AGMs

Premise of RPG: Essentially, it’s a video game RPG, focusing on characters from more mature video games such as Metal Gear Solid, or the Halo series. Games like Mario however, couldn’t mesh with the majority of characters and so would have to be excluded, perhaps an RPG for them would come in time.


When (if) player’s apply, the GM on approving, will judge if the character and game can fit into the Universe. The Universe itself, will change every season. While Season 1 will be based in modern day Earth, Season 2 could go off to the future, or back to ancient times, obviously encountering new challenges every season.

This means some characters will fit in a little bit better every season, so say if someone where to choose Kratos from God of War in Season 1, they could spend the Season adapting him to fit in with modern day times, fighting super powered foes, just as powerfull as the mythical beasts from his time. If the next season were to end up in his time, he could fit right back in while a character like Snake or Master Chief would find new challenges in fighting more unusual foes, and serious set backs in technology.

If approved, a character from the current time can continue as usual. A character from another time however, would find themselves in New York, or where ever, after a black out in their original time.

Each Season could have one, or several specific threats. Say when Master Chief came to New York, he could bring his war with him, complete with ships etc, and the world has to deal with this futuristic war destroying them.

Then say, a new plot involving a Metal Gear could develop, only to find villains from other games stand in the hero’s way. Think Transformers, their war, our world, in the case of Snake if the Halo universe found itself over NYC or their world, our war in the case of Master Chief finding himself waging the same battle, only on present day Earth.

Ten, depending on the outcome of every season, the heroes will be shifted. If all went well for the Halo universe, during Season 1, but the gods have a bone to pick with Kratos, characters could be placed in Ancient Greece.

If it has the potential to be ongoing, numerous locations could pop up, if not, key locations such as Hyrule, or the Gears of War universe would be obvious choices.

Characters from smaller scale games such as Hitman, could also fit right in other worlds, finding ways to make money, or new motives etc.

What will this RPG bring to the RPG forums? (please write two complete sentences): An RPG that can bring a huge range of characters and variety amongst such other limited ones. An RPg, that can appeal to much more than “comic readers” and “day dreamers” as video games appeal to a much larger percentage of people.

So... thoughts? :o
 
I'll get a list up of examples for games in a bit... until then, I've been playing around with this idea ever since I joined up to Marvel 2 years ago, please show interest. :(
 
Grand Theft Auto meets Halo.....my god, I just had a nerdgasm. :up: I'm so in.
 
Yay! 2 players! Oh and I guess, this is a 2 character thing. I'm reserving Naked Snake, post-mental, so Solid is still up for grabs. :up:
 
I'd like to reserve Carl "CJ" Johnson from Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas. My favorite of the GTA main characters.
 
If this gets off the ground, I'd like to reserve Duke Nukem. :up:

BTW, where's the avvy from, UK?
 
Awesome idea, consider him reserved.

And from the new Spider-man: Friend or Foe? Trailer, you can find it at gametrailers.com
 
So let's think games and character possibilites:

Metal Gear Solid - Solid Snake, Raiden, Liquid Snake, Revolver Ocelot, Vulcan Raven, Sniper Wolf, Psycho Mantis, Vamp, Fortune, Olga, Gray Fox, The Boss, The Sorrow, just to name a few.

Halo - Master Chief, all his pals and enemies, people could take up the roles of some of the more advanced enemies MC fights, providing ther own back story.

Gears of War - Marcus Fenix and his squad, leaders of the Cogs (I tink they're called Cogs anyways)

God of War - Kratos, possibly some of the gods of olympus like Ares.

Tomb Raider - Lara Croft

F.E.A.R. - F.E.A.R. Pointman, Paxton Fettel, older Alma

Resistance: Fall of Man - Nathan Hale, Lt. Cartwwright, one of the Chimera

Grand Theft Auto series - Tommy from Vice City, Tony from Liberty City, heck you could even take the role of one of the gang or mob leaders.

Devil May Cry - Dante, Sparda, Virgil

Rainbow Six - Ding Chavez, Logan Keller, Simon Webber etc.

Resident Evil series - Leon Kennedy, Jill Valentine, Chris Redfield, Albert Wesker, Ada Wong, to name a few

Splinter Cell - Sam Fisher

Half Life - Gordon Freeman, that guy in the blue suit
And that's just off the top of my head.
 
What about the guys from Doom or Dr. Gordon Freeman from Half-Life? Would that be too much of a stretch?

Edit: Oh yeah, I forgot about Sam Fisher and the Splinter Cell gang.
 
Nope, they'd all be fine. Resident Evil series too. Could have a virus outbreak.
 
44 views and only 2 people interested? Damn. :(
 
If this does get the ground, so far its:

Electro UK - Naked Snake (MGS3, MGS: Portable OPS)

bryd man - CJ (GTA San Andreas)

Spikex1 - Duke Nukem

Keyser Soze - Agent 47

Master Bruce - Viewtiful Joe

Taskmaster - Vergil

JinnSato - Leon S. Kennedy
 
Count me in...

Not trying to tell you how to run things and come off as a dick, but why not make the premise more along the lines of Exiles?

Have a team of universe-spanning heroes travel to different video game universes righting wrongs, fixing mistakes, and generally saving the day.
That way you can include other game universes as well (like the Mario, Metroid, and Zelda series).

The potential for story arcs would be limitless. You could have the team travel to the universe of Metroid one mission to battle Mother Brain and the space pirate, go to the Gears of War world and battle the locust horde, slide over to the world of Final Fantasy and save the planet from the mad Kefka, and even have more laid back/less serious missions to the worlds of Sonic and the Mushroom Kingdom.

Players could be the core set of team members (however many you choose to make up the team) from a myriad of video games. You could have a team of Master Chief, Mario, Kratos, Solid Snake, Cloud, and Sonic if you wanted. Granted, it may seem like they wouldn't mesh, but that would add an interesting RPing element to the mix. These heroes from totally different worlds co-existing together to protect the multiverse of video games.

Once the core team is set, other posters could then sign up as mission-related characters (similar to the old Multiversers RPG). For instance, if the first arc takes place in the world of Metal Gear, players could sign up as Liquid Snake, Big Boss, Otacon, etc depending on the arc. Once the arc is done, the team would move to the next world where the other players could then roleplay as a new group of MRCs.
It would give players a chance to showcase their RPing skills in playing different character personalities each arcs, and give them a unique challenge that could help hone their skills in certain areas of their game.

Anyway, that's just a suggestion. Do with it as you will. :up:
 
I'm not sure, I'd love to find a way to get all kinds of characters in, but there's not much of an option for people in that kind of story. It'd seem like they'd HAVE to be limited to characters and arcs. The original plan, say Agent 47 could be hired to take out CJ from GTA, but that couldn't really happen here. Maybe I could impliment emilemts of that story into mine though, lemme go back to the drawing board. :up:
 
Does that mean your playing someone from GTA or Halo? Cause now you've posted in here, you have to play. :(

You don't have to change anything. I was just throwing out a suggestion that would open up all the video game worlds is all.

As for the MRC, it is confining since they'd have to be from whatever world the heroes are on, but it would be a change of pace allowing posters to PC many different types of characters each and every arc.

For example, posters could experience the intense warfare of GOW and play Marcus Fenix, Dom, Cole and the others as the heroes join them to fight off the Locust Horde, run by other posters who potray the hidden Locust Queen and General RAAM.

When the arc is done, the heroes could travel to the Mushroom Kingdom, giving posters the chance to play more comical/cartoony characters such as Toad, the Princess, and Luigi as they stop an evil plot from posters playing Bowser and his minions.

The players being the MRCs could even come up with the story arcs for the heroes to go through, collaborating together and choosing what world is next and the characters the heroes would meet there.

But the position changes every season. People could have that option anyway, just implimenting other characters, but I agree, mane we cold get Mario etc in that way.

Yeah, but video game worlds that don't fit with the realistic-style games, like Sonic and Mario, wouldn't get used along with all the characters from them.

At any rate, I'm just making the suggestion is all. Do with it what you will. :up:

And that's just off the top of my head.
The Prince of Persia might also be an interesting choice. Imagine zipping around with Spider-Man-esque agility, with barely anyone being able to tag ya.

And I forgot about Doom Guy. But it might be kind of hard to RP him since one of his main characteristics is that he never speaks, the same with B.J. from Wolfenstein; Unless you're allowed to bend the rules a bit and have him open his mouth once in a while. I dunno. UK's call on that one.
 
Does that mean your playing someone from GTA or Halo? Cause now you've posted in here, you have to play. :(

O.O

Hmm..smart little bugger you are :oldrazz:

I'd love too play, however I...don't play video games and I don't know anything about them, save Outrun. So unless you want me to be the blonde bimbo in the passenger seat, sadly, it's a no-go. :(

Damn. I like the idea alot, and would love to play... but I only play classic arcade games like Mario and Donkey Kong, save for the occasional superhero and/or sports next-gen's. Sorry UK. :(
 
Well... that's the dream over I guess. :(

You all clearly need to play more video games.
 
Dude, don't give up yet. Despite the fact that MB and twy both said they won't play the game, they also haven't rejected the idea either. Maybe you should try recruiting.
