Role Play General Chat

Yea same haha bet you wasn't expecting that much of a response.

 

I wasn't actualy Most of the times, when I say "Steampunk", people tell me they're not really into that kind of music... Which makes me want to yank my hair out.

But it's good to get some feedback before posting the game Leaka was helpful as well, still got some things to work on.

 

Allrighty, going to hijack this thread again; I'm almost done with the preperations for Blue Skies (yes, I changed the title. Maybe, one day, you'll learn why )

They can be found here, and I would -really- apreciate any feedback, even if you're not into the genre and are not planning to participate.

 

What about mine? I need a female to play Lavender.

 

What was yours again, S-wo? Sorry...can't keep track. There are several other people who are skilled at playing females, too, so you've got a good shot at someone good taking that spot.

I can't promise anything. Suddenly I'm swamped with stuff so I'm hoping I'll even be able to join the steampunk thing when it starts but I can't make any promises at all.

 

Well, the "steampunk thing" isn't completely ready yet, so it would take some more time. Will have to ask Raven when he thinks a spot opens up.

((The more comments the better. Link is in my sig ))

 

I will be posting Blue Skies in two days (1 week after I posted it on my blog). All comments are apreciated.

 

Well, it was actualy the song I used to write the first post It's kind of the tone I like to set for Nemdée, your starting point

Blue Skies by Frank Sinatra - Music fades - Sound of an airship rushing by

 

Are there any new RPG's starting up soon? It just feels wrong jumping into the middle but if one were starting I would like to get in.

 

Well, I've posted a new one, but I'll have to wait for it to be opened (I know I'm new, but I've been working ages on this idea long before this forum...)

 

I'll join any new one. and if a new one doesn't open I have a world I need some help devolping so I'll see if I can make that into one

 

Damn, I'm sad to see to my RP go while I just came up with a great idea. I might bring a new one this Summer, but i'm afraid it might end up the same way. I was thinking of having a tournament style battle arena where all the members create their own characters. Those characters will go off against each other to a battle to the death and I would be the one to write those battles out.

For balance I wanted to create a video game like RPG system where participants purchase weapons, armor, and items. You gain money from betting on fights. The outcomes of battles are determined by an average scale according to your stats.

They are a set of five stats and for balance your stats have to be on an average of 15 before you get weapons and items which can make your stats grow even higher, so you can strategically make the outcome of your battle. You just have to make sure that the stats you want to increase are higher than everyone else's. It could be pretty addicting. The problem with this is that it's too much work for one person to keep track of which is me.

 

I would offer a spot in my RPG, but I don't see a way to work you in until the next stage. I can, however, help with creating your world.

 

^^^Do you know much physics, biology, chemistry or any other natural science? If not doesn't really matter but I'm trying to create a fantasy world based as much off of science as I can and that's really where my head is right now. I've done a little of the history, enough to explain the evolution of the different races. I've mainly been trying to figure how I want magic to work. I know it needs to be a form of energy but I'm wondering about whether there should be magic mass or if different elements will have different magical properties. I have a system of god's I'm working on as well. I really have only explored one region in my head and so I really need to figure out about the other continents. If you think you'd like to help I'll PM some of my ideas to see what you think or if you have any suggestions.

 

I'm a great biologist I love to dissect things, physics is another matter about the only thing I know is gravity and Newton's 3 laws that's about it, Chemistry I'm taking that next year as a junior, but I know the basics of atoms and symbols.

 

Sounds great, I'd love to help. Unfortunately though, I'm not particularly learned in those fields. I might know a thing or two that a considerable amount of people don't but I don't really know much.

 

Here's the basic problems I'm having with my world right now. I can't figure out whether magic is simply a form of energy, like light, or if it should be a substances? I've also considered making it a fourth form of matter.
Right now I'm treating it kinda like radiation. There are large deposits of magical rocks deep in the earth. If you get close, weird things happen. Everyone on the world has psionic powers that can be used to control the magic and release it's potential. The psionic abilities can be used for telekinesis or telepathy as well. Essential the ability allows a person to convert potential energy directly into kinetic energy. Telepathy is sending out stronger brainwaves or being particularly receptive to brainwaves.
I'm also having problems with the history. Right now humans and dwarves are the descendants of the slaves of elves. Elves in turn are the descendents of Orcs, which are essentially super-evolved apes. The first men. I'm not sure if I want the elvin empire to be in decline or still powerful.
Here's a slightly more in depth exploration of the regions and people of the world. If anyone is interested I would love suggestions or help.

Do you have MSN? 'Cuz I'm about to have a creative explosion.

 

Biology major, right here. Message me on MSN anytime you need help.

 

I don't have msn.

 

So in your system, the creators of the characters just submit them to you and you play out the battles yourself? It would be a good way of dealing with people who refuse to let their characters be beat but at the same time isn't the point of a RPG to play the role yourself?

SO I got one now. It's Addicted2aa@hotmail.com. I'll be working on the city of liberty, the first human and largest human city for the next few days.

 

I'm pretty good with the sciences (I never knew there was a "RPG General Chat And Ideas" thread!)

Also, I'm taking chemistry right now and happen to be doing thermochemical equations. So technically if you wanted have their abilities change potential energy into kinetic you would have to put energy into the substance in order to release the potential energy (which is done by breaking bonds). That means you could do that but it the character would have to use mana/aether/magic. By the way there are actually 6 states of matter: solid, liquid, gas, plasma, complicated chemistry/physics, and even more complicated chemistry/physics. You'd be better off using a a fifth element or having mana/magic/aether be a pure energy or pure life force, something that all living things would have and would drift throughout the universe.

 

Welll they are controlling the outcomes of the battles through their purchases of abilities, weapons, and items.
