Well, I'm back. I doubt anyone remembers me, but that's beside the point.
--Why we need a Collab. Why do we need a collab, you might ask? Because there are no new threads that are good, or at least none that I can find.
--What we need. Something a bit more serious than a ton of teenagers running around shooting fire out of their eyes. You know, an actual plot?
--What is absolutely unacceptable. School. Vampires. (The sparkly kind.) Werewolves. (Unless Lycanthrope... But that's a whole different thread.) "Modern" War. Mary-Sue Super Powers. If they are to exist, they have to ruin the users life. Future-Life. We have no idea what it will be like, and for the more part timeskipping to the future just messes up perspective.
--What is acceptable. Medieval. Like, straight Medieval. There were no elves on earth. It's true, I'm sorry. Sci-Fi. It can work, it just doesn't work. Modern-ish. Not a life game. Legit Adventure / TBRPG. But it will never happen.
I don't have ideas so far, but if I know what people want, I can make something out of it.

| Then we're in business. Sort of. Only one more person and we'll have a great Role-Play. Eventually. |

| Hopefully. There doesn't seem to be many decent roleplayers left. |

Heh. I only just returned to this site.
If anything, I'm thinking Medieval, for the sake of the fact that it isn't used. But Medieval needs to be severely desaturated for it to work. |

| We need a basic plot movement. Then we can build off of that. Something to motivate the characters to do things. |

Well I like 'power' roleplays, just not like SUPERHEROES and stuff.
Medieval is good. |

| Before we do that, though, we gotta know what the characters are like/are. So the plot actually, like, makes SENSE with what they are trying to do. |

| ... No. You need to know about the plot before you make the characters. |

Well, characters vary with RPers. Since the main moral alignments are Evil - Neutral - Good, I would like it to have a morally ambiguous plot.
Are you so sure that your doing the right thing? Maybe your prior circumstances have led you to think so.
So there would be like, 3 "directions" people could take: People working with the main force, people working against the main force, and people working with both sides when convenient.
Now I just need to know what the "Main Force" is trying to accomplish. |

| I feel this is coming out as something like an Alice in wonderland plot. but I still like the idea. |

| I've never read/seen Alice in Wonderland, so if it is, it is an accident. |

Why no elves/dwarves?They make the thing less realistic, but more fun. If you want a strict roleplay that would purely medieval then it will be something like this: 1.You are a villager of a city 2.A plague comes to city 3.You die |

| It depends, is the 'Main Force' Good or Bad? |

| Elves/Dwarves aren't part of the Medieval Genre. Oh, and not -everyone- died of plagues, just most of them. |

| The "Main Force" is trying to accomplish something. It could be good, it could be bad. Could be searching for something, could be searching for someone, could be trying to overthrow somebody, could be trying to stop a coup. |

I have an idea, but it involved magic.
See, it's hard for me, because NONE of my ideas don't have fantasy. If you want it to be absolutely realistic, don't ask me to help you. If you wanna hear my idea, then you may, but it involves quite a bit of fantasy. |

You can't be original in a medieval theme. Yes, you can make a cool plot and a new story, but you can't add anything someone else hasen't before you. That's why writers write fantasy. They will add creatures and things that will be original and that no author has added before them.That's why everyone reads those.It just makes the story more mysterious and exciting, unlike medieval. And that's why medieval RP's won't last long.They will get boring. Indeed, even a fantasy one will, but it will last much longer. |

I've got a few ideas offhand, several involve fantasy, several don't.
I've been wanting to see a zombie survival RP where the characters rely on wit and quick thinking rather then brute force and miniguns. A realistic survival system, shelters, etc. That'd be fun. |
