Homebrew, island survival, rape monsters, interest check, seeking GM assistant

[Hobbes1266]

Some days just aren't much fun, especially days where you wake up on a strange island in a metal capsule, to quickly find out that just about everything on the island wants to get in your pants whether you want them to or not! Not that you woke up wearing any pants to begin with... or any other clothing at all for that matter... only a backpack with nothing inside but a leather-bound note book and an ink pen hangs in the capsule. This isn't going to be a fun day, and unless you can find a way off this island the rest of your days might not be fun either...



In this roleplay the characters trapped on the island can do just about anything they want, search for a way off the island, study the many phenomenon of the island, study the plants and animals, explore, fight each other, stealing from each other, make friends and much much more, but they will need to take care of their basic survival before anything else, you can't do much of anything if you're starving, freezing, dehydrated, or trapped by a monster that's decided to keep you as its mate. I have no plans for killing any characters and I don't think it is very likely to come up but if the situation were to come up and the player were to consent I would not get in the way. Even if your character is starving and dehydrated, there are plenty of monsters happy to give the characters a protein shake... thick white salty protein.

To help in-game time move along at a constant pace and to help create a need for resource management I plan on adding a system of points for each in game day (twenty four, one for each hour in a day) which the players can spend to take actions each day, the amount of points required for an action depends on the amount of time that action will take. (gathering fruit from a tree might only take one point, while building a hut might take ten or more, and exploring can take anywhere between one and twenty four.) Not every action will take an entire point such as talking eating or drinking, and every action taken will need a post written about it to be roleplayed out, even if it's just a simple statement of what your character is doing, how, why and where.

Characters will have stats, but these are just so I can know what they can and can't do, they will not have any visible effect mechanically.

Strength 0 ability to exert your muscles
Speed 0 how fast you can move your body
Survival 0 your knowledge of plants, animals and survival techniques
Intelligence 0 how smart you are
Perception 0 how aware you are
Will 0 your ability to endure mentally
Endurance 0 your ability to endure physically
Lust 20 how horny you are

Characters will have 87 points to spend between the seven stats (with lust, subtract spent points from the total) a score of 10 is average, 20+ is Olympic competator/published scientist/bimbo who can't stop thinking of sex, 30 is completely perfect, 0- is completely incompetent, -10 is completely incapable.

Characters all have to have human limitations, but they can be from any point in history past future or present, or even fantasy. The characters must only be of human size (roughly) have the same needs as humans, have the same flaws as humans and have no special abilities. (Hoofed feet or a tail might go unnoticed, but claws and magic wouldn't.)

And that's about it I think, this is all just an idea, questions and comments are appreciated. Any interested individuals?

(Edit: added notebook to backpack)

Keeping an eye on this one.

Is there going to be monstergirls on the island as npcs along with more traditional lust-filled male monsters? I'd play a male character though I have no interest to play them as a bottom in an MxM game.

I don't want to say too much specific about the inhabitants of the island, because I want there to be a fear of the unknown and sense of exploration in learning about the inhabitants of the island, but I will tell you that with some exceptions this may not be of interest to you based on what you've said. Of course I could change or add some things, but the current plan is for player characters to mostly be female, though male/trans/futa characters could have their place in the game. I will make sure that any limits I'm told about that a player has will be taken into account, so if you're opposed to male on male, it won't happen to your character for one reason or another, such as the would be attacker not being interested in your character, good luck, or something else. There is no reason to believe that there won't be any hostile female entities on the island, though I won't directly say that there are, but I also won't directly say that there are hostile male entities on the island either. I encourage you to read into that statement as much as you like.

I wouldn't mind playing a male bottom for this if that was an option, as long as femboys/traps are allowed.

They would be, no worries.

This is looking interesting but I haven't done forum RP in years!

Nothing to worry about, you'll do fine!

Won't promise I will have large or very detailed rp posts.

[Hobbes1266]

I'm not the best either, so long as you move the story along and give me and other players enough to work with you'll be fine.

Will try to!

[Lazzat]

This sounds very interesting. A lot of mystery with a type of gameplay I've been wanting to try plus a neat sounding system. I'd be down for this but it would be my first RP on elliquiy if that's okay.

You said the mechanical aspects would be hidden so can we assume they'd be more like a general tool to assist in RP? Like I try to climb a cliff but then the DM responds by telling me I slip and fall (which they knew would happen due to my low strength).

I'm happy to have your interest, it's fine that you're new, everyone is at one point. Yes the mechanics will mostly be hidden, a little bit of dice rolling behind the scenes influenced by the situation the characters are in, the stats and any other factors, but as far as anyone other than gm and gm assistants would see it would just be me saying what happens. The is a chance that even if a character is bad at something they can still succeed, and there will be ways that the stats can be changed in different ways throughout the game. (The gm might not necessarily know your character was going to fail because of a low stat, but the gm would know it is the most likely outcome.)

Monsters seeking to have their way with my innocent (heh) little body?
I shouldn't, probably, but I'm in.

How humanoid are the monsters, roughly? I mean, I am completely fine with utterly inhuman-shaped monsters as well/instead of standard monster boy/girls.

[Hobbes1266]

I'm trying my absolute very positively best to keep things secret until players have discovered the actual creatures for themselves... but it wouldn't be a bad idea to assume that there may be a mix of both with a leaning towards less human... I wish I could think of a more cryptic way of saying that.

Also to hopefox, just come up with a back story to keep in mind and I'm sure it will be fine.

I'm thinking the minimum amount of characters I would want for this would be five, maximum ten... maybe twelve if I can find at least two permanent assistant GMs

[Zaer Darkwail]

Considering I am monster x maidens veteran player, I volunteer play either as monster(s) or as male visitor to the island (preferance for hetero or bi-curious encounters).

[Snake]

I'm interested in the survival aspect myself (then again I watch waaaay too many vids on it)

[Hobbes1266]

Survival is a major aspect of this, though there's a very minimal chance of death there are still consequences that could be considered much worse by some...

[Snake]

Hehe. yay RP bushcraft?

[Hobbes1266]

  I will neither confirm nor deny, but I especially won't deny.

[Snake]

So claws are out? We get nothing to defend ourselves naturally? :3

[Hobbes1266]

I restricted claws more for their use as a tool than as a weapon, but yes.

[Snake]

haha weapon claws are different than utility ones. i suppose they can climb pretty well with that :3

[Hobbes1266]

Claws may not be as good a tool as a knife but it would still be better than your bare hands don't you think?

[Snake]

Punch man in liver, kidney and throat: man goes down. Fists are just as dangerous if youuse them right :3 so are feet.

[Hobbes1266]

But can you make precise cuts with hands? There are things claws can do that hands can't. Any specific reason for this banter or just playing debils advocate?
