Roleplay call for ideas

[Corva]

I feel like we ought to have some active roleplays. But we can't have them without having roleplay ideas, so let us get our creativity going and start thinking them up.

Like having, say, a group of pon- I mean, people - being transported throughout a series of fictional 'verses, becoming the characters they are most like. Of course, they're the only [sapient] beings in the worlds (there are no philosophical zombies)... with the exception of the Great Antagonist, whom they have to defeat using the logic of the world they are now in. So, if transported into Equestria, they'll now be having to track down the Elements of Harmony. If transported into Middle Earth, they have to locate and destroy the One Ring. If they find themselves in Hogwarts, they have to track down 7 Horcruxes. If they find themselves in the grimdark...

That particular idea originated as a possible megacrossover fanfiction idea, but as far as fanfiction goes, I'm planning to do Warhammer 40K: Friendship is Magic, Harry Potter and the Day the Magic Died, and The Conversion Bureau: Elements of Disharmony before I do that, and I might not make it past the first one this decade... besides, it'll be more fun with actual other people playing the other characters.

Anyhow, bring your own ideas and/or comment on mine. Preferably and.

[Sivert3]

Yes, this sounds like a good idea. More like any role play right now is a good idea. I don't have the cognitive resources right now to think up some ideas for this. But I do think that this could work out.

[Corva]

We could always roleplay... as a group of people roleplaying in the future. LARPers. Genetically engineered. Within a big dome. On Mars.

But I won't start any unless a few people indicate interest.

[Sivert3]

Go for it, we two can start. And anyone else interested can join whenever they see fit.

[asdf]

I'm in. This is gonna be my first real role play. Yay! And most of the ideas you've said I haven't watched/ read before, so it's gonna be a surprise.

[Corva]

I've only touched on two...

...one of which involves metagaming as part of the game, though it's frowned upon.

[Sivert3]

Well, not here, not now. Cause there is no one to frown upon it. I wonder how many levels deep we can go before it starts to hurt.

[asdf]

We're gonna game as gamers, but what game are the gamers we're gaming as gaming?
(Say that five times really fast)

[Corva]

A fantasy one. It's a fantasy world theme park, ran by a LARP collective on a partially terraformed Mars, within a large inflatable dome.

I'll get up an OOC once I've settled into university.

[asdf]

You mean like DreamPark except on Mars?

[Corva]

Pretty much. Except without the fee part. And with no actors, except in the sense that everyone's an actor. And with possibly a lot more blood, and actual death... well, not actually dead death, only mostly dead death. The Valkyries have to be able to revive them, after all. I haven't quite figured out the details.

The entire area will, naturally, be angelnetted to allow for control over most of the features of the landscape.

While I am interested in whatever RP anyone wants to run, I have experience running something similar to what DragonRider described.

Like having, say, a group of pon- I mean, people - being transported throughout a series of fictional 'verses, becoming the characters they are most like. Of course, they're the only [sapient] beings in the worlds (there are no philosophical zombies)... with the exception of the Great Antagonist, whom they have to defeat using the logic of the world they are now in. So, if transported into Equestria, they'll now be having to track down the Elements of Harmony. If transported into Middle Earth, they have to locate and destroy the One Ring. If they find themselves in Hogwarts, they have to track down 7 Horcruxes. If they find themselves in the grimdark...

So... yeah

[Corva]

No-one else have any ideas?

Anyone up for a game of Sky Pirates of Venus? Or, alternatively, of Neptune or Uranus.

How about something set on Titan? There are dangerous folks hiding in the darkness beyond the established habitats. Unfortunately for our little group, the folks inside the habitats aren't much better, refusing to believe that the life support is failing, and with their flyers out of service from what appears to be sabotage, they're in for a long trek to get to the spaceport. A long trek across a frozen world, where one false step in the dim light will mean they'll find your flash frozen corpsicle only once civilisation expands far enough to drain the cryogenic lake you fell into. Unless it gets discovered by the scavengers, and fished out in case there's anything of value in your suit.

Yes, I think this one is workable. I'll flesh it out and put up the OOC tomorrow.

The mask of death! It is gone!!! Stolen by... the Shadow!

The Shadow? The Shadow!?! Aaaaaahhh!!!!!
