A couple ideas I had (Sexy RP'ers please read)

[The_Deadliest_Troll]

So I've been having a couple ideas for RP's that I like a lot. And I am wondering if there's anybody willing to tackle them with me. I haven't ironed out all the details, but I think these could be a lot of fun.

1. We are going back in time to right after Ysgamor and the 500 Companions return to Skyrim after the historical Night of Tears in Sarthaal. Players will role play as an ancient scouting team tasked with surveying the land ahead of settlers, mapping Snow Elf settlements and killing any of them that get in the way.

I figured since there's not a lot lore-wise that we know about this time period other than the men from Atmora did settle and drive out the ancient Falmer, it would be cool to form a sort of story of our own.

2. My other idea is even less formed. But I'm thinking about doing some sort of thinking man's role play. Most rp's that exist are pretty simple. "Kill all these things; obtain goal" with some story points and character development mixed in.

But I was thinking: What if there was an RP where the characters were not fighters. Perhaps it could be mystery based. We could be presented with puzzles or challenges or mysteries and have to collectively think our way through it. I dunno, just a thought.

So, does this sound interesting to anybody? I'm especially excited about the first and have so many ideas floating around that I'll probably do it by myself if I have to So, if these sound cool to you, let Troll know!

They sound awesome

Not too sure about your first idea, Troll, as I royally suck at TES lore other than Skyrim. And even that's left for wanting. Your second idea, however, I do find intruiging if only cuz it's different. Where would we get the puzzles and challenges from?

I figure that me and maybe one other person will come up with ideas as far as that goes, and I'm thinking they might be complex puzzles in the likeness of things such as Rubyquest if you've ever read that. Then I, as sort of a dungeon master, will have to set up the scene. It may require a lot of resourceful thinking, but if done right, it could be kinda fun. I might even use my limited art skills to draw rooms and puzzles so we can get an idea.

Here's an example: We are in a small room. There is a door on the far wall, but there are metal bars blocking our use of this door. On the wall next to the door, there are two stone buttons. A parchment stuck to the wall underneath the buttons reads "Which one of us is quite the simple choice. The right button here will give to your voice." - Then you'd have to decide what to do.

Let's say the group decides we should speak, or whisper, at each of the buttons individually.. button 1 has no reaction, but button two lights up with some sort of magical whirring sound when you ask it "Are you the correct choice?" Obviously, we can press button two and proceed.

That's kind of a weird example because I was trying to come up with it quickly, but the real thing should be very thought out. I'm not saying there will be no blood shed of course, but it will be minimal and depend on the setting I choose. And depending on character dynamics (I'm really hoping we would get some diverse personalities and REALLY get people into character) it could get interesting. Like we could have a scholar who always thinks he's right. A hot headed warrior who's first choice on most things is to "Smash it."

Just some thoughts

I likes. All I know is, I'm definitely packing my Portal gun.

Haha! Yeah, I'm thinking that I really want to go through with that idea. It will be A LOT of work on my part, I think, but well worth it. And as for the other idea, I wouldn't worry too much about lore knowlege. I'm not really going to ask that only lore buffs sign up for that one, but that they be willing to do a bit of reading on the subject. After all, once that story gets rolling there is no solid lore information that I know of concerning that. So really, the role players will be making their own lore in a way.

... I guess that's kinda frowned upon by huge lore buffs sometimes, but I don't really care

 

[dunklunk]

Good to know. I'll stay tuned.

I agree. Some people really freak about stuff like that. I don't care either.

Just have to say like how you added sexy to the title... was that to get more views troll!?

 

[The_Deadliest_Troll]

It sure was! I have NO shame!

 

[death raider]

Someone should set up another db rp! Even though I'm in the most successful TL thanks to Ashleigh

 

[Rekamennos]

Hm. I'd be down with helping you form the second idea.

 

[death raider]

so would I!

pfff lies all of them!

 

[death raider]

pfff lies all of them!

what it has 77 pages! One of the most successful rp's ever in this forum!

so would I!

I'll probably be sending both of you a PM then. The plus side of getting my hours at work cut is I have more time for stuff like this. It was a bummer before when I had to bail on all of the RP's I was involved in. But now, I'm excite! Hehe SO, expect a message from me about this in the near future.

 

[Rekamennos]

Are you thinking like a guild rp or something?

who are you talking to rek's?

 

[GuardianCren1812]

The first one I would really love to do with one of Crengar's Ancestors.

The second one, i could definitely play for a murder mystery with my werewolf, Railen. ;P

 

[The_Deadliest_Troll]

So, today I will be attempting to get a thread for recruitment up for the first idea, and I will hopefully be sending some folks a message about starting to form the second idea! Prepare. Your. Anus.
