The RPG Concept Thread

[Spike_x1]

Because it ruins them. The mere fact of having them be in a continuous story completely misses their point.

Agreed.

Having said that, I'd very likely be up for that idea, MB.

 

[SuperFerret]

It would very likely need to be carefully controlled, and possibly have a theme to it that'll designate which characters are acceptable or not, otherwise we'll have Happy Gilmore and the Mask vs. Darth Vader again.

Exactly the sort of thing that's turned me off of joining the Video Game RPG and Movie RPG when they were running. Carefully planning the world in which the RPG will be set in is crucial, with a list of universes that aren't incorporated.

 

[Batman]

In that case, the first to be excluded will be Watchmen.

Fables, too, because that works better as it's own contained universe.

 

[Saved]

Exclude Rising Stars and Wanted, and I'm out.

 

[SuperFerret]

If you want the B.P.R.D. and Spawn, a magic heavy, darker universe would be good, possibly with no publicly known superheroes.

That could tie in well to Syn's request of adding Wanted, given the group of assassins he joins believes they killed off all of the superheroes running around back in the day. The new heroes, like Hellboy and Spawn, could simply be unknown to them, giving Wesley/The Killer a new assignment.

Sounds good. Dibs on Hellboy if it gets off the ground.

 

[Saved]

Dibbs on Wesley.

 

[Spike_x1]

Dibs on Big-Head.

 

[Batman]

Also, Star Wars universe is out, too. We don't need two RPG's with that universe included.

 

[Saved]

I honestly thought that was a given.

 

[Batman]

It is, but I want to re-enforce it. Because A) you just know someone would come in proclaiming to be Darth Vader, and B) I want to keep record for the excluded universes, if this gets off the ground.

 

[Saved]

Fair enough.

 

[Batman]

Would anyone care to include G.I Joe?

I don't see a solidary Joe RPG making it, but I think both the Joes and Cobra could have significant impact on this universe.

 

[Saved]

Here's the true question. Transformers, or no?

 

[SenseiofCheese]

Another world that would need to be excluded, for obvious reasons, is Y: The Last Man.

He could be worked in, but I don't see a point.

 

[SenseiofCheese]

He could be worked in, but I don't see a point.

He could, sure, but I'm mostly looking to join this if the universes incorporated make sense. On that note, adding the Transformers would make sense, but I'd vote for it to be excluded.

Facist.

 

[Gallagher]

Heres another thing, where do we draw the line at 'comics' I mean do web-comics count?

[Saved]

Should the Stephen king Marvel Comics, Foolkiller, and the Squadron Supreme stuff be excluded as well?

 

[Batman]

Yes to all three. Marvel Universes covers them.

 

[Saved]

Wasn't sure. Icons or Powers is also Marvel isn't it?
