The RPG Concept Thread

[Optikal]

So we're allowed to just create our RPGs without an application or approval now?

 

[SenseiofCheese]

No, but before one puts up an application one should just ask who's up for the game, so you don't put up an application that gets no replies.

 

[Astrø]

Hey, I thought I should put this up here. Its a RPG that was made by a good friend of mine. If you like pok'emon then you will like this. Its only version 1.1 but 1.2 will be coming out and most likely will play like the normal game only it will be with other people and such. Here is the link check it out! http://tpmrpg.net/signup.php?sess=15620

Here's a run down of how the Murder Mystery RPGs I used to play where handled:

The players (not characters, players) all somehow meet in real life. An idea is that we're all taking a flight somewhere, but our plane is delayed. We're gassed, or something, and when we wake up, we're all alone and locked inside the terminal.

Now the Game Master PMs one of the players and tells him he/she is the killer. So then the game would pretty much just be the players investigating. Every 3 or 4 days, the GM would hold a vote. All players would PM the GM (heh) their votes as to who should die. After the votes have been tallied, the person with the most votes would be killed in a GM post (The killer could choose to write these posts.). At the scene of each murder, clues would be left as to the identity of the killer. The clues would be of decreasing subtlety and discussed between the killer and the GM.

Now; if someone thinks they know the identity of the killer, they send a PM to the Game Master. If he/she is right, the killer is revealed and the survivors must hunt him down. If he/she is wrong, he/she is automatically the next one to die.

Sound like something you guys would want to do?

I'm up for it. In every way possible.

THE BEAT 'EM UP RPG

Since time began wars have been fought between good and evil. Great warriors etched their names in history with their courage, valour and honour. Their legacies lived on throughout the ages, inspiring young men to take up the way of the warrior and live their lives by an iron code.

Times have changed though. The modern world is a very different place to the world told in tales of ages past. Today a man is not measured by his courage and valour, but by his wealth and power. Mighty corporations rule the concrete jungles and the old ways are a dying breed, kept in the hearts of a mere few souls.

The largest and most deadly of the corporations are Mishima Zaibatsu, a multi-national front by Heihachi Mishima, and Shadaloo, fronted by the tyrant and warlord M. Bison. Each of them seek more power, more control and an iron grip upon the world around them.

The Elder Gods, overseers of all life have become saddened and disillusioned by these events. Earth was the last ray of light in a universe where the darkness of Shao Kahn and his Outworld consumed all. Unsure of how to resolve this threat the quarrelling Gods chose to merge all realms, creating one single universe, giving both the light and darkness an equal opportunity to win this eternal war. The realm of Outworld was shattered and merged with the Earth, its inhabitants keeping their mystical power, but integrated into this single universe.

Angered by events and a seeming betrayal by the Elder Gods, Shao Kahn once more focuses on a rise to power and conquest, determined to reclaim his throne and bring about Armageddon and a return of Outworld. As a third power between Mishima and Bison, the game each play has become all the more deadly.

Recently, rumours of a mystical blade, known most commonly as the Soul Edge have surfaced and reached the attention of many who would seek to have it. Ancient tomes tell of an ultimate power, granted to whoever would wield it. In their quest for power, the Soul Edge would prove to be a valueable asset and the ultimate weapon of these dark times.

Modern day heroes such as Sonya Blade, leader of a U.S sanctioned Strike Force, and Ryu Hayabusa, leader of the Hayabusa Ninja Clan seek to take down these corrupt corporations and restore dignity and honour. But they are not alone in their quest.

Ryu and Ken. Kasumi. Terry Bogard. Liu Kang. Mitsurugi. They are the names of just a few who have in them the valour, the courage and the strength to change the world. In a world where darkness threatens to end the lives of millions, the warriors of Outworld and the warriors of Earth must fully realise the power and the potential they each carry inside of them.

Each must make a stand.

Each must choose a path.

Which side will you be on?

Anyone?

 

[NiteMare Shape]

I dunno, I'm kinda stretched alittle thin right now. I'm tempted to get in on the western, but I don't think I can committ to it so I don't think I'll apply. The beat em up sounds fun, but again, I don't know if I'll be able to committ

What they said.

 

[wiegeabo]

That's six. Now we just need Keyser to sign up as the psychopathic serial killer.


Oh wait, we already have Spike.

 

[Mercy]

I'm up for the MMG

 

[SenseiofCheese]

That's seven people. I think I'll get to work on an application, and if any more people want to join up that's fantastic as well.

Edit: That is, if I could actually find that RPG app template...

Guess nobody likes Pok'emon here.

 

[Optikal]

There was a Pokemon RPG on these very boards for a fair while.
