The RPG Concept Thread

Why not webcomics!? Dr McNinja dammit!

Hey, hey, I want to be Gabe and Tycho from Penny Arcade more than anyone, but that's life!

 

[Batman]

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

Powers is Image Comics, so it'd be allowed. Same with 100 Bullets and, possibly, Sin City.

Icons, I'm not entirely sure. I can't find it on Wiki.

 

[Johnny Blaze]

I'm definitely interested in this concept...

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

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

Annnnnd there goes the interest out the window.

 

[Batman]

Well, sorry if the truth hurts.

 

[Johnny Blaze]

Well, sorry if the truth hurts.

What? That the Fables characters can fit perfectly fine in the RPG? I know, it's a *****.

 

[Charlie No-One]

Why not Aeon Flux? She is always falling into weird situations. She could easily fit into that universe if done correctly.

After taking a moment to review, I've found I'm quite mistaken in thinking they couldn't work. I thought that the characters lived in a world that was secretly their Homeland, not that they actually came to another world.

Knowing that, I take it back. Fable characters can be allowed.

Find a way to make it work, and I'll take this back, too. I simply didn't think it would because of the heavy futuristic setting. But then again, I'm no expert on the character.

I'm surprised so much discussion is being put in, when other times people suggested a "non-DC/MARVEL but the other comic companies" RPG, it was quickly turned down.

 

[Charlie No-One]

Cool. I think the futuristic setting could actually help her get into the the world. I know time travel is a risky business, but throughout the first series, she died every episode from messing around with stuff that didn't concern her. Say that something is some sort of time machine and it could easily be explained why she entered the game's world. Her actions are always sort of ambiguous so finding her something to do in present time would be no problem.

Right-O. They were forced out of the Homelands by The Adversary and his forces. It'd be simple to incorporate Fabletown in the New York City of the RPG, as well as the Farm and other Fables locales.

"What?"

 

[Batman]

Hmm. Perhaps. I am allowing Planetary, and they're a group of time travellers, so allowing the Doc wouldn't be much of a difference.

 

[Andy C.]

How's about Invincible? I know that it kinda clashes with Wanted, but the Kirkman-verse has enough going for it that it could almost constitute an entire RPG itself.

 

[Batman]

I intended for Invincible to be intergrated from the start.

As to the Wanted storyline, it all depends on how Syn wants to play it. Maybe the two of you could discuss it out and come to a common agreement.

 

[Blacklight]

Spawn!?!?!! Miiiinnnneee!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Batman]

Alright, there were at least eight interested parties yesterday. I may go ahead and apply this concept sometime tommorow, if no one objects.

The only problem I'm having is having so many universes cut off from this, when one of the points of the RPG is to allow for re-invention. So if anyone thinks a concept currently on the list should get taken off, speak up now.

 

[Byrd Man]

Make Speed playable!

**** it. I'll be Marv.

 

[Batman]

If you want to make Speed a modern day racer, I'll allow it. I just don't see him getting much interaction in.

 

[Freakjokerxxx]

Has anyone talked about getting a Vertigo RPG going? One that incorporates Sandman, Constantine, Swamp Thing and the other comics? Just wanted to know.

 

[Catman_prb]

How about Doctor Who?

If so, I call dibs on the Doctah!

 

[Batman]

Dammit, I forgot to apply this.

I should do that...
