The RPG Concept Thread

[wiegeabo]

While I'm not saying I'd leap at the chance, that's a game that I'd be interested to see tried out through a more trial, one shot basis. Maybe make the game's format sort of like a true detective story - let Batman and the other do gooders of Gotham City follow a murder spree and figure out who the killer is before he kills all of the innocent and guilty alike in Gotham, or something. The actions of the heroes and villains looking for the killer would determine the bodycount.

That is an interesting idea. Maybe even do it a little like the horror RPG? Where only one of the villains is 'the' villain. Or, if it's GM run, the GM is the secret villain who drops in character clues until he's discovered and stopped.

Even better!

"My life sucks!"

*cuts wieg*

Yes it does!

*shoots MB*

That made me feel much better.

 

[SenseiofCheese]

Man, imagine playing the Joker, crazily envious at the new 'villain' in town. Or the Riddler, obsessing over the clues left.

****.

And with the pimptasticness of the Batman mythos? Now that, I'd play in an instant.

 

[Byrd Man]

Damn ya'll. I've been wanting to cut down on my RPGs.

 

[SenseiofCheese]

No worries, just cut down on other things instead. Like, did you know you could save upwards of 1 minute every twelve years if you stop blinking your eyes?

 

[Byrd Man]

My god that's brilliant! I'll just have my eyeballs removed and buy a fancy voice to text program and get brail on all my keys.

 

[wiegeabo]

That's the type of progressive thinking we like the hear!

 

[SenseiofCheese]

And, to save even more time, instead of having some slow-ass surgeon do the work, my friend Hector will do it for 5 pesos.

 

[Eddie Brock]

Damn ya'll. I've been wanting to cut down on my RPGs.

Took the words right out of my mouth. And my teeth, too, apparently. Bastard!

 

[Gallagher]

****.

Don't even get me started on how much I'd love to play Two-Face in that situation.

It doesn't necessarily have to be a "new" villain. Maybe we do it like all the Batman rogues could be culprets, just like in the hype Horror RPG, and then the killer's identity is only revealed at a point.

I think by "new" villain, they meant a villain that has yet to be introduced into the BB/TDK-verse, such as Riddler and Penguin

 

[Eddie Brock]

I'm fairly certain they meant a new villain.

 

[wiegeabo]

I completely forgot this would take place in Nolan continuity.

I was getting excited at the idea of this in plain old comic continuity.

 

[Batman]

What?

Nolan continuity?

But... but...

!

 

[Harlekin]

**** that, if you're going to do it, do it comics continuity.

 

[Saved]

**** that, if you're going to do it, do it comics continuity.

Yeah, I gotta agree.

On a related note, the character I have in mind might be surprising...

 

[Byrd Man]

**** that, if you're going to do it, do it comics continuity.

Exactly. MB and I talked it over last night. Maybe sometime post NML. That way, you can have all the characters from the Batfamily, Rogues, and GCPD without having to deal with some of the changes that happened during Hush and IC.

 

[Andy C.]

God dammit. This is the second time I've come up with an RPG that got a bunch of people interested, only to lose all of the attention to another Batman game

 

[Byrd Man]

I'm up for both!

 

[Mercy]

Aye.

 

[Watchman]

I'm up for the Batman RPG.....


as long as I can still play as Ultraman

 

[Eddie Brock]

**** that, if you're going to do it, do it comics continuity.

Wholeheartedly agreed - as much as I love BB and TDK.
