la dame en noir

I'll probably edited this later tomorrow evening, but I wanted to put this up now.

Anyways, I've been having a lot of creative juices lately and I've also had more time to write. I'm looking to start another group roleplay, considering my mass effect rp hasn't picked up much. I'm huge into Fantasy, but I could dabble into sci-fi given if I found a good enough plot.

SO here it goes.

Idea 1: A sandbox Fantasy rp.**New** Plot/Premise

Eslos, the great world which many inhabit, but many destroy. The legend goes that it was created by the many gods and goddesses through the cosmos to see what they can create. It started with a barren land, before beauty - light - darkness - and life were brought to its surface. As humanoid creatures inhabited the lands, the creation of culture was established. Now in the future of Elos lies three different nations and societies. Easora, the center of all ports, trades, goods, and people a like. It is Eslos capital continent and home to many. Agren - Continent to the West of Easora lies a people who are known for not only their outstanding military, but their combat as well. Their people survive in a colder climate and often use weapons in their hunting and wars. Their gods and goddesses are those of thunder, beauty, war, revenge, and trickery. Eyix - continent to the South of Easora where the people practice all manners of Education and science. They are skilled in combat, but often use strategy and magic to win their fights. Their gods are those of wisdom, physical health, climate, sexuality/aggression, fertility, and the underworld. Idus - the continent in the east its people who are known for their speciality in Politics and trade. They are a dutiful people who live in an area where the seasons change noticeably. Their deities are that of creation/destruction, protection, victory, agriculture, and luck.

Easora, home to many has been in the care of the Great King Alaion - a distinguished and beloved ruler throughout all of Eslos. He is known for his constant care of his people and has resolved many differences between the outlying continents and its people. Now the ruler has become deathly ill and with no heir to turn the throne over to, it is said that his fall will put his advisor - Vivienne, in his place. In his stead she makes all decisions - mostly before consulting him. This has resulted in a very unhappy kingdom under the rule of a heartless woman.

With the birth of new, and unfair, taxes, food rations, port and trading control - the people of Easora have become defiant as a result causing her to reveal the nature of Pandora's box. To reach her full potential and gain complete control, she unleashes its power. Not only does it give her unlimited dark magic, it frees the underworld's darkest horrors. Illnesses, demons, and the the like escape - terrorizing the people and its surroundings.

Once open, it releases the power of the old deities, finding its way to vessels. In the hands of unfortunate young men and women, it is up to them to uncover their power and restore order within the world and seal pandora's box before its too late.




Idea 2: Historical fiction - I get my inspiration from Anne Rice and slave era New Orleans. This would not be for the faint of heart and would require people to be exceptionally open minded. There would be the occasional racist bastard, but since this is fiction - it doesn't need to be so harsh. Basically, I want debauchery and vampires.




Idea 3: Dragon Age inspired.

Antiva - the center for Merchants, Traders, and Pirates alike. It is a country most known for its House of Crows - an expensive and aggressive assassin's guild, as well as its Merchant princes. With no real King or Queen to rule over them, it is known as a Plutocracy. It is ruled by families of impressive wealth and Merchants who have their own agendas. The nation is protected through many arranged marriages throughout Thedas, making them impossible to touch without Thedas itself going into a chaotic war.

This is the story of humans, elves, and the like finding their place in the world and hopefully not get caught in anything to serious.

Game Notes: This wouldn't be solely on Antiva - but it will be the center of the RP. There will be room for an array of plots and a possible all out war. There are plenty to choose from as far as 'Occupations' go. Pirates, Assassin's, Merchant Princes, and Prostitutes are quite common in Antiva. The idea of this game is to give a basis and have it be player participation. This would be the most fun with people that have a general understanding of Dragon Age and have always been interested in playing in the nation and culture of Antiva.




Idea 4: Modern Corporate Drama. You know, the sexy CEOs, interns, office employees, etc. This could be a general sandbox rp with a big time Corporation as its center.

Game Notes: Corruption within the corporate ladder - Mafia would be fun.



If you have any questions, concerns, or additives to any of these ideas - please please post here. I would love to start a group RP and I want to it be epic.

If all goes well, I would be looking for a co-gm and I would prefer that the group games go at a pace everyone is comfortable with.

Creating a new world is always good creative brain exercise :). Anycase placed my vote....

*slips up to open thread what was discussed in PM*

As question though; if we go sandbox fantasy, we go by freeform but would system be okay if majority wants/agrees on it?

System: Rolling dices and making charsheets based on rule system (either self-developed by GM or use excisting systems like d20, d6 etc).

Well, if the Fantasy Sandbox takes the votes it will go like this.

A world with an original name and possibly a map
Description of cities, regions, other countries, etc
A bestiary
A timeline - but this might take a while
Races in and around the main game
Other game notes

I'm thinking of it being

Human, Elvhen, Naga, Orc, Fae, and maybe one other race
Magic will definitely be a thing
as well as the supernatural.

Well, if it goes fantasy. For another race, I had this Race I created for Pathfinder using the advanced Race guide. lol.

ugh...man

Looks like i need to figure out some ways to get more voting. I might just pin it down to Dragon Age and the sandbox Fantasy and see what happens.

Hmmm.... am I guessing correctly that your ideas for the fantasy game (option #1) center mostly around a "pseudo LotR" setting? Or would you perhaps entertain some ideas about slightly more exotic settings, for example something based on an Arabian Nights theme?

I would potentially be interested in #2, particularly if it were period with vampires, but not every other fantasy race known to fiction. ;)  I loved the original Interview with the Vampire, and the time period and setting has so many wonderful possibilities.

I meant that as I am going with the high fantasy aspect. An exotic setting sounds more intriguing though. I would be more than happy to figure out something along those lines. Each race could be from cultures we are familiar with.

Nordic/Viking, various African and middle eastern cultures, as well as Asian themes.

Big...big fan of The Newsroom.  Something along those lines.

There was a game bouncing around for a while that involved a sprawling media company with a a flakey news room but also had it's fingers in fashion magazines, celebrity gossip blogs, etc.

Had plenty of potential for torrid and sensationalistic nonsense.

I've never seen the newsroom, but that's just about what I would like to do.

My best suggestion is that you make the kind of game you want to run.  In the end, if you're not having fun, it's not going to much matter.  :-)

Combine some of the ideas then? Historical corporate drama could work. 19th century railroad tycoons, or rival newspapers in a time when newspapers still literally made the news or somesuch?

Never played Dragon Age, but maybe some of it could be combined with your fantasy setting too?

Take the best from some ideas and distill them into something that's the best of both worlds?

I put my vote in for DA but the fantasy was a very close second. If you wanted to you could combineany of the ideas except for maybe DA together. Gaslight Empire (just made that up) victorian era businesses vying for power to get inroads to asia and africa. COmpeteing against one another. After all...vampires get board just setting around...why not rule a country through commerce?! :P Just a thought. Anywho I really like DA, im currently playing in a table top game set shortly after the events of 1.

OMG LANDSHARK! WE DID A MASS EFFECT RP TOGETHER! YOU WERE GREATLY MISSED! D:

Anyways, yeah - that idea sounds pretty cool. I'll definitely have to hash out some ideas when I get home from work and gym! :3

Ahh okay and thanks! :) so how many players are needed for your rp?

Im a big group kind of person. I would probably want as many that wanted to join. Especially if its the fantasy sandbox or the vampire rp. As for dragon age amd the modern one, i would probably have set roles that needed to be filled and go from there.

Could there be a possibility of mixing ideas 1 and 3? Just asking because I could imagibe these two ideas in combo. Wither way I am interested
There is no hiding who you are, legacy or curse all means the same thing to a Phantomhive. He will find me and remind me of my obligations and I guess I had a good run, because I know he will find me. In the end you can't escape who you are and yet one keeps trying until  thoughts become reality.

MythicalMorpheus69

I feel sort of dull for not giving an input lol but everyones ideas are so good I don't think I can compete aha. I have a question though; how will we be doing the rp when it comes down to it, like forum posts like this? Email, I.m (and all others lol) ?? :)

I'm loosely familiar with the games, and own the tabletop manuals. I guess the question is: are there any "Ferelden 4 Dummyz" references around, or am I pretty good to start with those that I have? Im not sure how much lore you are going to go for.

I know it sounds cliche lol but I had the idea to add onto landsharks where maybe the 2 arch enemy races both come under threat by a completely new race never before seen or heard of (maybe a mix bread of many races or something) this is not a twilight idea by the way haha! Some how these 2 races have to completely learn to work with one another at the same time as ruling their own countries ect... They could have to travel to lost lands to find specific artifacts and weapons and stuff, there could be ambushes and plots and twists, maybe even a double crossing! Or even both races could be planning a double crossing! The new race could even rule their own country and amongst the war they could use their countries to disguise their battlesby starting a human war? I dunno maybe its silly aha but you asked for an input?

Ok...i cant really help with the Arabic but ill hook you up on Greek and Norse np. Ill pm it to ya once i got it typed up. You just want the Big named gods or more in depth?

la dame en noir

Make it as simply and informative as you can. I'm basically creating a world where there is a center for all trade, goods, and people of all cultures and then their outlying nations.

So it would be a combination like

Norse/Greek - Specialities in Military and Combat
Indian/Chinese - Specialities in Politics and Trade
Yoruba/Egyptian/Arabic - Specialities in Education and Science

As i said i haven't got much experience creating rp's so just hearing that like my idea is a big morale boost for me :P as long as i can have one of the main roles or more specifically one of the leaders right hand man/lutenant/head warrior type of roles? Basically not a leader but just under, i like playing fighting/warrior roles who are very loyal, would this be possible?

Anyways, I'm currently making a new plot for the Fantasy Sandbox idea and Dragon Age. I have yet to come up with something compelling for the other two.

Word. Going to work, but I got it open for when I get back. Let me know how character creation is going down.

So, is there two separate games?

I'm still deciding. I should have a conclusion sometime tomorrow or Friday :3

looks awesome! Cant wait to see what the final desicion is. Looks like the fantasy is gonna win though :)

My brain hurts from that. But thankfully I had help from Cassandra's initial input and resources gathered from both you and Dhi.

But if people like the idea, then I will probably need to make up different names for these gods and goddesses...though I don't know if keeping their original names would be such a bad idea.

"Hey," said Shadow. "Huginn or Muninn, or whoever you are"
The bird turned, head tipped, suspiciously, on one side, and it stared at him with bright eyes.
"Say 'Nevermore,'" said Shadow.
"Fuck you," said the raven.

The fantasy idea looks pretty grim, with all those plagues and monstes released from the box, and an evil ruler with unlimited magic power. And with the power of old gods in the hands of the players this could turn into something like a fantasy superheroes game. Any idea what ... "power level" you imagine tis game might have?

I guess you could get away with using real-world names, but if not, here are some suggestions (I took those from a German pen & paper RP):

Arabic/Egyptian:  Satis, Kebechet, Serkef, Chepru, Pachet, Rehotep, Heket, Sutech, Nepthut
Nordic: Asvargr, Fjörgynn, Helja, Sigrun, Vidar, Wyrd
Asian:  TsaiChen, WenCheng, WeTo, WuKung, KuTuh, PadKu, YenLen

A fun suggestionL Whenever you get your qualifications/"system" together (even if not a real one, theres some limits or thought process behind your world,) allow RPers to create 3 potential enemies/encounters for your world. 1 would be relatively "mundane," (found within the world naturally,) another summoned from Pandora's Box, the third can ve from anywhere (including the previous, magical or inter-planar.) More importantly, do it in PM. That way, If you don't like it, you don't have to use it and no one would know! Then from there if you liked what some people did, you can ask them to do more if you feel the need.

I suggest having both a combat and noncombat way of beating them.

My two cents.

I was actually going to work on a enemy list myself.
I'm also considering working on fixing up the plot. I think I will go with animal spirits and elements as a source of power. I think it may make my game feel a little more original(even its completely cliche). I'm doing this because my concept seems too dry and confusing.

I think it's too early to judge if the idea of god-based "powers" is dry or confusing. Personally I think it offers a nice mix of character/ability concepts. For something fairly straightforward you have War or Weather and such themes, but you also have themes that allow a good bit of creative freedom, like Wisdom or Learning. I think there's something for everyone in the pantheons you mentioned.

Both are strong concepts. I see where the Deity idea would get daunting to try and hammer out logistics, but is still very flexible to build a world around.

Some encouragement:

At the end of the day, what's imprtant is that you do what feels right to you.  :-)

Sleep on it and we'll just see what your muse whispers in your ear.

Looking for websites to make cool graphics and/or banners for the roleplay.

I have decided to go with the Fantasy concept and want to try and get up an interest thread tonight. Anyone willing to help me out on graphics? I want it to look as appealing as possible.

Do you have any graphics you want to see used, a font style, some general idea what the banner should look like?

I could give it a try if you can give me a bit to work with and/or some pointers what you may have in mind. Maybe PM me?
