however if you are considering starting an rp there are a few other ideas I mentioned which are free to use further up and if you wanted to brainstorm any ideas there are a number of dumb nerds- I mean very smart and intelligent people who definitely have lives present in this topic to bounce different ideas off of.
no pressure though.
Idea: Slow burn transformers rp set at the end of the universe where whoever is left sits around a campfire and tells the others their story. Revisionist history and unreliable narrators welcome
That seems more like a 30 minute thing rather than a full-blown rp. Might work well as a short story, though.
Ooh but what if those transformers get a second chance to put things right?
Maybe something more along the lines of them having to work together to build a structure that could survive the end, with the stories spread between work. A big part of it would be the question if the transformers can change (pun intended), or are they simply destined to destroy each other?
slight inhale
Alright lads and ladders, I’ve resolved my deep, century-long internal conflict over the present issue. Or present as of about four months ago. But as always, I need to know if all of you - you who initially showed decided interest in the concept - are still willing to make it happen.
That one Superhero RP that everyone wanted to play in, but nobody wanted to deal with running - if I ran it, would anyone actually be interested? I have another priority which will inevitably appear on the Boards that will, absolutely guaranteed, take the majority of my attention away from this, but if I can’t handle a decent balance I’d be willing to hand the reigns over to someone else.
What are your thoughts? Yea or Nay?
powerful inhale
You smell nice
Yeah, I would most likely join if you or anyone else were up to running it
I’m not totally opposed to running it either.
As well, here’s another idea I had which might look familiar to some:
The party plays as a group of small forest critters banded together in an attempt to survive two weeks of brutal winter, all while being watched and interacted with by a massive owl, who for some reason doesn’t instantly gobble them all up. There’s a wide number of threats in this world, like human traps, treacherous terrain, monstrous predators, and of course, the vicious cold. Whether or not any of the party survives is up to the wit and capability of the players.
man just invented warrior cats
I won’t be able to join till mid August, but if you did run it, I’m in.
As for the creature one mouse guard? I’d also be interested, but not a definite yes.
Alright, I did it.
@Chronicler @TheMOCingbird @Diero @Winger @Rukah @Axelford @Atobe_Brick pinging one last time since you showed interest
Well that went great didn’t it 
In fact, it went so great that I haven’t learned my lesson and the universe is going to need to beat me down yet again because I’m coming at you with a poll 
The premise, without getting too specific in the details as I’m still hashing things out, would be a party of rough-and-tumble adventurers in the cold north somewhere rushing to a specific destination whilst being hounded by antagonistic forces. Generally speaking, reaching the albeit fairly close objective would mean the end of the RP.
Something short and simple. No years and years expected for it to end, heavy emphasis on character building and writing opportunity, and definitely combat. Those who partook in my OA: The Dark RP know that I can get extremely creative when it comes to combat 
So… Would you join it?
I would like to join, if for no other reason than finally having a new active RP to play.
I agree to such an endeavor, though I remain woefully inept at the concept of a virtual forum RPG.
I tried so hard
and got so far
But in the end,
it doesn’t even matter
I was really enjoying that one. 
So since the majority of people want more info, I guess I’ll provide you with more info 
Subject to change of course, but probably not much change honestly
Do any of you remember this?
Well ignore everything except the word train
Alternate history Canada is under invasion from the north. A massive radio transmitter at the top of a mountain in either Alberta or British Columbia I haven’t decided must be reached to call for help, but the only train that is available at the small train depot town is a passenger train, and a threatening armored train is making its way to the town to seize control of the mountain.
You play as one of several folks who volunteered to ride the train to the peak. It’s not a long journey, but it is quite the perilous one, and the armored train might catch up if you don’t move quickly. Will you be able to make it to the peak on time?
There’s more details but I don’t want to give away too much at once. Also be aware there’s certain things included in the concept which bear unintended similarities to certain real-world events occurring at the moment, and while some of them started happening after I came up with the concept (several months ago) others were occurring beforehand and this is not intended as any sort of commentary on anything whatsoever. I just want to fight bad guys on a train 
Now that I’ve explained things a little more, what do you think?
I claim the position of a clueless, but quick to help Train Attendant with an affinity for limericks and kettle corn, with a side of mysterious 'bouts of well-planned thought.
While irl (or in this case alternate history) stuff is less my forte than Lego themed RPGs, I’d definitely still join. The short length sounds promising and attainable.
What kind of time period is the RP set in, out of curiosity? Mostly for character design if I end up accidentally killing joining the RP, since I have a rough character in mind that I haven’t used for a RP yet.
I’m looking at some time in the early 1930s, at the beginning of the great depression. American and European economic woes would be hard to feel in a small mining town in west Canada, but it should help provide an idea of what to expect with GM characters and the overall tone.
That’ll depend on your signup 
I’d say to take a look at that one official rping guide I started writing forever ago, but it seems you already have.
