Unsure if I should bring back Ra'zhar into the equation. I really liked playing him in Gideon's Dawnguard, and I really doubt that will be starting up again anytime soon, if at all (I sure hope Gideon's okay, too).

What's the limit on how powerful a character can be when entering this? Also, I assume that this takes place during Oblivion's timeframe? (I'm still going to be imagining Skyrim character graphics. Skyrim's khajiit were unspeakably better than Oblivion's.)

The current year in the RP is 3E418; before the Oblivion Crisis and the rise of the Neravarine, just after the Warp in the West.

And yeah, of course you can imagine your characters any way you want :p

As for a power limit, all you should look out for is that your character won't be able to just blaze through every danger. Fights should be risky.

You got it. I'll be PM'ing you a sheet very soon, good sir.

I've apparently taken some inspiration from Musicman's roleplays. Unfortunately I'm not sure if I have the brain power to pull this off but the idea seemed interesting enough to put out there to see if it's worth putting more thought into. It would be an open rp with a large number of NPCs but with a clearly defined mission that player characters have no initial direction for.

The idea is that players are a party of aliens that have been studying the Earth and it's culture when there is a malfunction on their ship and it crashes. The aliens have the ship function and the tech to take human form. From there they have to go out and make contact with the nearest people and try to acquire the equipment they need to repair their ship. You might be able to get better help from people if you tell them you're alien but they may also turn on you.

The NPCs I'm not too concerned about. My main concern are the sci-fi details of the equipment objectives and trying to find a proper balance in dropping hints so players aren't completely lost but things don't become too structured.

I like the sound of that P-sto, seems very interesting. Will have to be something I keep an eye out for.

I....I inspired someone!?

That does sound fun! If you need help I'd be happy to consult, whether for RP stuff or technical. I studied electrical engineering in a previous life.

The tech stuff would actually be a huge help. Thinking about it more I think the approach would be providing a long list of ordinary things that group needs to collect. Players can choose if they want to get a job so they can buy these things, try to steal them or just ask for them. Of course there would be one special object that only the military has and part of the game would be interacting with military personnel and trying to find a way to get to that.

Question: If I wanted to post my RP for everyone to start making characters and we started in April, is that good? I'm worried everyone is too busy elsewhere in the subforum and don't mind waiting, but it's so hard to measure when anyone will be available! So your suggestions would be awesome. (And it would be fun since all my RPs are finishing/dead, which means I am not doing anything. Woe!)

I don't see why not. And you can always delay it if neccesary.

Oh, please do!

Just for you, Witchery!

What is your RP again, Avron?

Early Fourth Era TES roleplay. I mentioned it way back here.

In other words the most awesomest RP ever.

I wouldn't go that far, but thanks for the kind words.

I'm probably not going to start my TES RP until Avron's one ends. Don't want competing RPs. I plan on joining it anyway.

Well, I'm already in Tamrielic Adventures, and I don't wanna be in more than one RP for one series at a time. ^^' But it looks neat and I hope you have fun with it!

I still have a fair amount left to do for that Stirk TES RP. Now I'm wondering if I should make it or if I should make something else instead. Something I find interesting because you rarely see it. What would people think of a cyberpunk/fantasy RP? So elves and orcs and all that jazz as well as cool sci-fi cyberpunk things. Would there be any interest in such an RP?

That sounds pretty interesting. And a unique idea as well. I'd definately consider joining.

I think I'll do it. The only thing is if there will be interest. I don't want to go through all the work just for nobody to join. Guess I'll just have to wait and see. I'll post some more info about it in time. Which would be better as the setting, an alternate universe earth or a brand new world altogether?

As much as brand new worlds can be fun, I think I tend to enjoy alternate Earths more. I think I'd sign up for it if you come up with a good story.

^Same here. For me, alternate earths tend to be more entertaining and enjoyable.

Does it have elves in it? Yes? I'm interested

Alternate earth takes less explaining on the part of the DM, and less thinking about fundamentals for players, letting them focus on their characters.

I'll go with an Alternate Earth. I'll put up some setting details in time.
