I'm not sure if its only me, but I've started to notice something about the RPG's done lately.

And thats, that they're starting to feel more like chores then fun and games now. Don't get me wrong, the RPGs have been interesting and fun, but something's happening to this board and all the RPG's are suffering because of it and in turn we suffer because the RPG's suffer. I don't think this has anything to do with the RPG creators or the RPG players for that matter either.

I mean, I think that by far, Mad Guyver has been the best RPG we've had in a long time that everyone could join in on, but now even that is starting to slow down....

So what I'm proposing is we pool our collective imaginations together and we try to come up with an RPG that appeals to everyone in every aspect. This however is got to be something we all contribute to and help grow. I know that isnt easy for everyone due to other responsibilities like work or school but we all have to make an effort.

In my opinion I think the solution to this lies in RPG's like Mad Guyver and Battle Cube.

So in the words of Aragon

"What SAY YOU!?!"

mag guyvers + Battlecube = no more board, we'd blow it up. hahaha.

I'm being serious Warrior :wolfy:

i know, im just saying we'd more than likely destroy everything in that RPG...

Do you mean another self insert rpg? If so we already have mad guyvers going so if we do another self insert it should have some cool new angle on it. Not sure what that should be yet though.

I think he Riven ment we could use a new light hearted rpg where things aren't so fricking serious, and we can all just lay back, streach out a little, and curl our toes up in the sand..

To be honest, I'm thinking something like Timeguard, before things got so freaky.. Of course, Mr.Z allready attempted to start up a sequal to time guard, and it didn't go anywhere.. Hrmmm..

Well, I have an Idea If anyone cares to listen to it. however, since i'm running MG's right now I wouldn't be able to look over it.

I still think the idea for the muppets rpg had alot of potential, I had alot of cool ideas for that. But lets here whats siths idea is.

I'm all for doing the Muppets RPG, I just need help finding another type of stuffed creatures in order to face off against B)

Sounds interesting. But it would probably depend on the backround info of the RPG. MG is Guyvers obviously. Battlecube....was...never joined so lets skip that. Success would also depend on restrictions put on it. MG is cool because we all have a seperate ability to work too. >.< I still say going Parasite Eve and controlling Mitochondria woulda been cool but I'll settle for death beam breath.

But yeah, another self insert RPG would be interesting depending on the backround to it.

I have the perfect idea....

The villains will be the ultimate evil....they will be the Telitubbys!

If you let me NPC telitubby villains for the muppet rpg they will be the most evil thing to ever be in any RPG :lol:

yeah.. and the tellitubies would have an unstoppable army of department store Manniquins! With.. um.. lots of really tacky clothing!

Well How do you guys feel about playing against Character?

What do you mean by that?

I mean that everyone here has a set way for making thier characters act. i'm sudgesting we have an RPG where we act opposite ourselves.

That would mean.. Kaiser would have to be NICE?

That sounds really complicated... like I would have to start thinking what the opposite of me is now... *wanders off to have a think*

Not blonde... not pink.......

I'm all for it :beers:

Hmmmm....an interesting idea, there's several character types I probably would not play as my lead character unless I was dared into it like in this sort of situation, these include:

A regular guy
Anyone who drives an SUV
Brittany Spears and or Hilllary Duff
The backstreet boys or any other boy band
Micheal Jackson or any other celebrity I don't like
A superheroe/villains butler
A politician

I also probably would not play cliched anime roles such as:

A bishounen of questionable sexuality
An android maid(like in handmaid may and mahoromatic)
An angsty underdog robot pilot with a pocket full of dreams
A Miko
A regular cat girl (Toxic polecat doesnt count because she isn't a regular cat girl)
One of those girls who have the big glasses who are usually the victems
A Tenchi style harem anime character
A "girl next door" style female character

I may have missed suome but these are all I can really think of in terms of characters I wouldn't play. Aside from this pretty much anything goes. So if we did do this what would I do hmmmm...I think I'll scratch out the less tolerable possibilitys such as Micheal Jackson (dont wanna play him!)

Maybe I could play a robot maid whose also a politician? Or maybe a regular guy who gets his brain stuck in the body of a superhuman that looks like Brittany Spears but also has cat ears? Yeah I certainly wouldn't play those characters that under normal cercumstances.

Anyway I also have few rpg ideas

1. I had this idea where each player would get a character with five special powers that seem more or less useless and they have to figure out how to work with them in a way that would actually give them a big advantage.

2. Each of us could design a character, but someone else needs to play the character.

3. This idea might have too much scaryism for you all, we could have a magical girl rpg! :lol:

Sorry guys but I think we should only have one self insert rpg at a time, I mean they're cool but having too much could kill the good ones we already have not to mention stop hte new ones from taking off altogether.

And persoenlly I wouldn't want to play an opposite version of me either, I think we should go for a more relaxed rpg kinda like Time Gaurd but no-where as near it. Something with good base grounding but desn't depend on us staying true to the plot and we can just mess around in.......*just sees something he doesn't like*

*Vomits before chewing Mr Z's throat out*

To be honest.. I like these two ideas... It would inject a little bit more randomness into things then we're used to, especially if no one knows who's going to be playing the character they design.. or who designed the character they're going to play.

I think that would make a great rpg right there.. plenty of oppurtunity for fun..

Although idea three is right out... Most of us don't know enough about the magical girl genre (either because we just havn't seen alot of it, or just don't want to think about it) to make one of those... Besides.. I'ld end up playing kirstie or something as a magical girl.. and that'ld be just plain creepy.. :blink:

any rpg would have rules, but i'd go with a poltless one. lets have an rpg where we go where ever the wind takes us.

we haven't had one of those in a long time. the only thing we'd need would be basic stuff like one charactor per person and no god playing.

getting back to the simple things would be fun.

I don't know,

I'm all for the idea, can you elaborate on a plot idea?

Be careful sparky, I have deathrays inside of my throat :lol: anyway maybe if we did do the opposites rpg sparky could play a magical girl for that since its clear that something he wouldn't normally do :lol: (Or would he? hmmmmm....)

Maybe I would play a guyverrized version of John Liguizanos character from the movie "The pset" I hate that guy and would never play him under normal cercumstances but it would have alot of comedic potential which is why I might do it if dared into it for the sake of the opposites rpg if that ever happened.

Well I was thinking of having it take place in the same continuity as my "Suger filled cavity world" series which I've been posting in the personal projects section, except more stuff would be happening concerning magical country (for those who havent read that story of mine this is the place magical girls originate in it)

But with only one other person on board for the idea I really dont see it happening right now. If more people are interested I'll put more details about what the plot would be up.

I would also be for this idea as well, what I think we should do is have another page of ideas and then we can set up a pole and vote on which idea we like the most. Speaking of which I have one more idea I neglected to mention "The Dead RPG" essentially this would be a crossover RPG of all our favorite rpgs who died before getting off the ground. I know I mentioned this idea before awhile back and nothing came of it, but I still think it's a valid possibility.

I dont know about a plotless RPG but the self inserts are rather entertaining, atleat battle cube was

Whoa! barons alive!!!!

Yeah.. atleast while you were still around to play in it :P

Well I'll be damned, Baron's still alive and kickin' :beers:

Yes the lackluster one has returned now lets have a party ill bring the ganj

Haha, I'll drink to that, that and I'll bring the beer :beers:

since he's been gone so long, i think he should go through hazing and initiation again...

How come I never got initiated?
I should probably be pleased that I didn't, shouldn't I?

You didn't get it for two reasons.

Firstly Admin's are immune to it by way of their unique admin weapon.
Secondly,anyone trying to would have me to answer to :666:

Right,I've been holding back on this for long enough now.

First off Riven,most of us have been overly busy of late due to exams and outside life(especially with developments in my home life) and cannot devote as much time as we would like to this place.

Secondly,a while back we were given the oppertunity to take part in an RPG without any true limits,just no one's been posting in it.

Thirdly,self insert RPG's can become boring,especially if overused. There's no real imagination used to play as yourself. True any character we play as will carry over some of our traits simply by being our creations. The idea of an opposites RPG doesn't appeal to me simply because I can be my own opposite at times,so it'd work out the same as any self insert rpg for me.

Fair enough,new ideas will help keep things moving,but only so much

I must admit that all that is true. I haven't been involved in any of the rpgs, and one of my main reasons is that I don't have enough time to be truly committed to it. Everything has to take a backseat to Uni and work I'm afraid.

I like hearing the new ideas and I love the self insert rpgs, but I don't feel that we can force new rpgs and ideas... just wait and see how they progress. New ideas will either go really well or fall flat. We'll just have to wait for some creativity








P.S. Muppets RPG! Go with the Muppets RPG!

I'm sorry Gall I didn't mean to imply that we should all drop everything in our normal lives and devote all our time to the Lair.

I know we cant do that.

Well if your just looking for a loose going fun time rpg, maybe it's time I kicked my own ass and do something I've never done before and make an rpg myself. Fuck knows I've been here and been around long enough before coming here to know what the hell to do

Yeah, I agree. it was kinda hwat I was trying to saw earliar but you worded it way better than me.

(ps, gall, don't know if you remember that idea I mentioned to you ages ago but considering the more serious nature of that one it wouldn't be the one I come up with)

Anyway, Yeah me stepping forward to make an rpg (I just fucked myself royally haven't I?) well, what say you the people of the board, are you with me? (ps, the rpg will probally have zombies in it B) )

That the mutant-styled RPG? If so then work on the plot and we'll lose you your RPG Creator vinginity ;)

Actually I was reminding you of that one to say I wasn't going to use it, I think that one has a lot of potential but it's pretty serious so using it for this wouldn't work out. Anyway I'm already concocting something inside my head for what to use, it'll be pretty loose based and heavy attention to story won't be mandatory, after all it's supposed to be a laugh but there will be one or two things to keep stuff going smoothly.

Anyway people, that means get your whacky hats on for some brisk ideas, nothing concrete for now as even I don't know the outline of whats going on yet but pretty much anything goes for now although don't hold me to that, don't worry about power levels I'll take care of that so everyone is basicly equal in most aspects :rolleyes:

So yeah Kris, we won't use the mutant rpg idea but rpg Vinginity will be lost *mental note, must still find good use for that word*

WOW! I'm so excited! We're all going to be involved in Sparky loosing his rpg vinginity! OOO... Zombies...

Is there really a good time for that word? Tell me when you find out
