The idea of an RP set in the context of another RP sprung to mind. Yet I do not GM the original one, and the RP set within that context... I dunno. Sci-fi gladiators are the idea, yet I can't do squat in Arena RP.

Ah, another one. A medieval 2 hotseat campaign, played similarly to other such hotseats (send email around, make player actions, etc). The catch - all actions from the hotseat are presented in text format. In other words, a roleplay that's basically built right off a video game.

Issues include game accessibility, dedication of players, cheating because they just gotta win, logistics of passing the hotseat file around, and working around some of the more inflexible elements of the game itself.

Something involving airship piracy centering around a Nassau-style pirate's republic. Definitely very Guns of Icarus-inspired, and probably my first foray into steampunk.

A Roleplay about a group of ordinary people fighting an Eldritch horror while trapped in a Lowe's. It could be serious or satirical.

A sort of Can you Escape?/Choose your own adventure with plenty of RL Stein influenced body horror, and transformative weirdness that could border on sextual.

Basically a group of hapless victims (aka rpers) are kidnapped and taken to a mysterious facility and offered choices that will affect them in many different ways that they have to take to advance and maybe escape. These can and will lead to bad ends. On top of that, their choices will affect other players in beneficial or adverse ways.

Just a loose and fast idea that probably will never see the light of day.

I actually wanted to do this a while ago. Sort of a round by round thing. Never worked out all the details but I got quite a bit down.


Sorry for copy/paste I can't get the link to show up properly.

EDIT: It's based on a roleplay @Gutshot brainstormed but never got off the ground.

The Sci-Fi gladiator thing would be fun-- especially if it were the start of a Spartacus-style revolt.

Rereading my notes- actually some pretty good ideas worth salvaging.

That was precisely the idea for a later plot point.

But again, arena deficient, and that's how it would start up >.>

I have an idea set in pseudo-Europe around the years 1890-1910 that involves a supernatural event where major cities, hugely important cultural and historic urban centers simply vanish overnight. They are replaced by a primordial landscape that slowly expands its borders-eventually engulfing all of civilization. It's a bit steampunk meets the Lost World-airships become the most important means of transportation. Gas powered rifles and literal towers of civilization surrounded by a miasma of humid jungles, bubbling swamps and ash and smoke-spewing volcanoes. Characters could be soldiers, explorers, priests, doctors, scientists or just an average citizen trying to survive. As the story progresses, ruins of an unrecognizable civilization are discovered...Thematically it is man vs. nature. Technology vs. faith.

From the HAMPSHIRE CHRONICLE, evening edition,
Monday, June 11th, 1875


DISASTER !! MIRACLE !!
PREHISTORIC LANDSCAPE APPEARS!




Danburge, Brecha
On the Evening of June 10th, passengers aboard the Airship Bravado were witness to an event of divine magnitude. At 4am, the crew was ordered by Captain Arneld Breschia to rouse the passengers in case abandonment of the ship would become necessary. Navigation of the Frigate Class Airship had become impossible, as an unanticipated heavy fog appeared. The Captain, acting in accordance with aeronaut procedure ordered a drop in altitude.

What happened next is unconfirmed-several passengers claim flashes of 'eerie lights (north) towards the direction of the city of Danburge, and then darkness'. In the morning, dozens of reports claimed that the city had vanished- to be replaced by a landscape that can only be described as 'prehistoric'. Captain Breschia ordered his men to begin a search of the area using the spot lights of the Airship. After 4 hours of searching, and with coal reserves diminishing, the Bravado was forced to make an emergency landing in the nearby town of Great Bridge. The fate of some 250,000 citizens of Danburge is unknown.





In the years before the Miracle, an industrial revolution had gripped the world. Advances in technology and medicine were poised to change the face of the world. Great continent traversing airships dotted the skies. Engines were powerful & efficient. Every infantryman in every Great Powers' army carried a gas powered rifle. Advances in art, literature and philosophy made it seem as if another great enlightenment was at hand. It all ended with the Miracle.



Nearly 30 years ago, cities the world over began to vanish overnight. After the swirling mist, fog and glimmering lights vanished, what remained could only be described as a prehistoric landscape. Humid jungles sprang from the earth overnight. Volcanoes sprouted and spewed smoke and ash into the sky. Primordial swamps, teeming with all manner of nightmarish creature oozed and bubbled. The event was a Miracle. It was a Disaster. The 'Wilderness' as it would come to be known, began to spread.


WORLD LEADERS HELPLESS!! WILDERNESSE GROWS MONTHLY!


Nearly twenty years ago the Disaster that took in an instant countless cities across the globe resonates with the world today. At the Worlds Fair in Hampshire, World Leaders met with top scientists in the newly formed field of PREHISTORIA. Sources confirm that the WILDERNESSE is expanding at an astonishing rate. Reports indicate that several small towns have been enveloped by the WILDS and the civilians forced to flee. An unconfirmed number of casualties have been reported.

Besides the terrible jungle comprises the vast majority of the WILDERNESSE, several sightings of PREHISTORIC-like beasts have been observed. Enormous reptiles and oversized insects of horrific nature. Dr. Simeon Brightweather, of the Royal Academy of Natural History (Overseeing the newly created Department of Wilderness Studies) was summoned By HER MAJESTY QUEEN REBECCA III. The details of that meeting remain unknown at this time.


Efforts were made to curtail the advance of virulent growth. World Leaders, increasingly alarmed at the spread of the Wildernesse agreed to wage an all out war on the growth. The most devastating weapons in the worlds arsenal would be launched at the encroaching landscape.

Chemicals, designed to wage war on man were instead turned against nature. Fired from artillery, or dropped from enormous Airships, the campaign was carried out with great success.

At first.


As the 'weeding' campaign (as one former Monarch put it) continued, the Wildernesse renewed its advance with a seemingly sentient vengeance. Devastating incendiary bombs were deployed and the atmosphere was choked with ash and smoke from the burning wilds. All would prove to be in vain as one by one the capital cities began to be overrun.

I am not sure if you could consider this a weird idea but... I always wanted to do a riot-themed roleplay, where the police force tries to restore order into a city as rioters trash the entire city and do crazy shit.

We all play versions of the same Federal agent who suffers a time skip resulting in multiple versions of him existing. Investigating reveals that an apocalypse is coming but we dont know which version of the story to believe and we all go insane.

I've stopped pitching ideas of my own for fear of not being able to follow through on them for a variety of reasons. It's like I have a really good idea, but execution is increasingly harder to do.

I want to do a comedy crossover RP in the Free section, where you play as the very first character you ever wrote back when you were a 13 year old shithead on Neopets or whatever.

So in my case, my character would be me. Literally me. Used my name as his name and my face as his portrait. Except according to the bio I had purple eyes and telekinesis.

I'd love to see just how bad we all were when we first started participating in this retarded-ass hobby.

I wish someone would start a casual adventure RP about the Viking age. Something similar to The Long Ships novel or the sagas or the Vikings TV show. You know, a ship crew sailing around the world and getting into trouble. It sounds really comfy on paper if you ask me. I thought about doing it, but I'd just been overwhelmed recently by real life chores.

I want to start a horror-esque, Silent Hill-type, RP set in a strange world where a group of random people are dropped into it, and are hunted by monsters. I want to use it to explore themes such as loneliness, isolation, and what it means to be human.

In the future, virtual reality game that's in the 80's and everyone is stuck or has a time limit to being there each night. Centers around a club. Essentially San Junipero from Netflix's Black Mirror.
