Choose Your Own RP

[Funka Genocide]

So I'm going to give this a shot and send a question out to you roleplayers here on NPF. What sort of RP campaign would you be interested in playing?

Just looking for some basic genre hints or preferences, maybe we can get a consensus on a good idea and work from there.

Not really thinking of using any mathematical systems for rules, mainly cooperative narrative with responsible role play. Really opening the door to anything you can think up, dragonslaying fantasy, space opera, gritty realism, survival horror, my little pony dress up, whatever.

Hit me with some ideas and lets get a discussion going!

[Truce]

Anthropomorphic personifications of ordinary breakfast items fighting against the evil organization that bears a passing resemblance to IHOP.

[Funka Genocide]

I could do that. We'd just have to develop a system of breakfast related abilities and skills, a hierarchy devoted to the relative level of deliciouness of a certain breakfast food type (as the ruling caste are all nihilists with martyr complexes, making self sacrfice to the Great Griddle the penultimate expression of self worth.)

Your characters would be the renegades, kind of like Logan's Run but with Waffle 3 and Bacon 6, an "under the table" organization and whatnot.

[Naqel]

I want.

Seriously.

THIS NEEDS TO HAPPEN!

[Funka Genocide]

some more wildly divergent ideas and concepts would be nice.

Like you guys haven't mentioned time travel, or an rp based on being in a pop band, or the possibilities inherent to an RP wherein all player characters can't understand one another's language and must therefore communicate via elaborate dance routines and hand gestures.

I'm going to need some more to work with here people.

[Dauntasa]

Time-Travelling P.I.s, Solving crimes and then going back in time to prevent them from happening. There, time travel.

[Bard The 5th LW]

Zombie Apocalypse RP. Have it play out in a RE type setting.

Or we could be time traveling detective breakfast foods who battle the undead, but that is pretty silly.


Like on on a scale, it scores about here (its a rough scale).

time traveling detective breakfast foods who battle the undead.


I love it. Let's do this.

[Funka Genocide]

The concept could work, but less free-wheeling-1950's-private-dick-in-a-trenchcoat and more post-singularity-utopian-society-fixing-history-for-kicks.

I am suddenly inspired by an odd series of posters advertising a fictional time traveling travel agency.

Awwwwww, why not 1940's film noir detectives-who-just-so-happen-to-have-a-time-machine? With advanced futuristic weaponry? And motorcycles that run on antigravity technology? And a pony?

[Sifright]

Why couldn't we play sentient atoms floating around in the 'ether' trying to compete with each other to create ever more complex molecules? :o

Fixed that for you. In fact screw the motorcycles with antigrav technology, we should all have dinosaurs that we ride, while going about detectiving things in different time periods. That would be cool.

Or why not skip forwards a couple billion years and start with the first life forms on the planet, and we have to evolve and become more complex and more intelligent, eventually escaping the primordial ooze and growing some apposable thumbs/tentacles with which to fashion tools and forming tribes for our different species who eventually build cities and develop technology and build planet spanning and then eventually space spanning galactic empires.

Basically it'd be like Spore, but good.

[Premmy]

An RP about forming a band, any kind of band. Along the way we discover our intstruments or voices harbor special magical abilities and fight..... evil? The Man? the other team, who's funded by the man?

Can there also be dinosaurs?

[Premmy]

Can there also be dinosaurs?

Dinosaurs are implied in everything I say.

[Dauntasa]

Indeed. Dinosaur involvement goes without saying.

[Bard The 5th LW]

So the only plot line we can fully agree on is dinosaurs eh?

How about cyberpunk Jurassic Park survival horror RP?

[The Artist Formerly Known as Hawk]

Dinosaurs are implied in everything I say.

Just checking.

How about cyberpunk Jurassic Park survival horror RP?

So a Turok RP?

[Dauntasa]

How about cyberpunk Jurassic Park survival horror RP?

Sounds good.

So a Turok RP?

But now it's ruined.

[Naqel]

Whatever the outcome is, I want to see it illustrated.

Cause I need more nightmare fuel.

[Funka Genocide]

so ok, believe it or not this has given me an idea, I'm going to run with it.

expect sign ups soon.
