OOC

It's been a long time since my last RP, but I'm eager to jump back in. I have a couple ideas in mind for games I'd like to start then run on a twice weekly basis. These would be for groups counting 4 - 6 people (for starters, at least).

The first idea is far more extensive than the second, but both are counting on a relaxed, fairly in-depth character-focused style of RP.





1.





"You're a resident of the continent Gemflors. You've been living and surviving in your home country and hometown for as long as you care to remember. You have goals, dreams, and the whole of the world is free for you to explore. Who will you meet on your journey through life? Where will you go? What adventures will you find, or will find you?"


Original world and races. There is no overarching plot currently (that may change), with a focus on the characters themselves and their survival / exploration of their home continent. I would be the GM, pulling strings behind the scenes to bring characters together and populating the universe with secrets, NPCs, civilizations, plot, etc. Posts would be ordered, allowed a number of combat actions per, but no paragraph or movement restrictions. I'm interested in painting portraits for the characters.

























2.





"Something bumped the capsule from outside. Julia startled. A light, crisp and white-grey, pierced the blackness from overhead. Writhing, Julia attempted to squint at it between her fingers, but it was blinding. There was a sound like sucking, and lights flickered on along the edge of her container. The glass sparkled clearly, but there was nothing discernible beyond it. There was a voice, though. Clear and yet distant—and not a voice at all.

'Just a little longer now,' it whispered."



Premise



The protagonists of this story have been abducted by a sapient alien race. Each character will have a different reason for being abducted (which may not be immediately apparent, but will be learned). Opening sequence is awakening from a state of induced biological stasis (sleep-like), and being herded into a large, steel complex where every character undergoes a type of medical check-up (as far as they can tell). Characters would initially have little freedom to move around and be put in difficult situations. Interestingly, not all human residents of the complex appear to be captives.

Your captors are large and imposing, detail-oriented, with abilities and skills far beyond match. Not even the voice in your head can elude their notice. What do they want, and can you escape?


Setting



Everyone would be in a large, seemingly metallic, multi-storied complex, grouped by threes into rooms called pods (or cells). Character movement would be tightly restricted at first, but there would be later opportunities to freely explore both the complex and the outer alien world.














Anyone interested in either of these? I'll probably only end up picking one, although with enough interest I'd be more than willing to do both. Would love to hear if I'm missing any wanted information on the stories / details. Looking for only a couple more players and then I'd love to get an OOC going. Anyway, thanks for looking!

Both ideas are cool, but I dunno if I'd actually play them - I wish you good luck in finding people though! :D

I'm working on an OOC for The Quilted Flag at this moment. It's almost done! Once it's up I'll post a link to it from this thread and everyone will be free to examine the mechanics or post their character ideas then. I estimate OOC'll be up...end of the night? Somewhere abouts then. Just didn't want to leave anyone wondering.

@Blueflame
It is, indeed! Sorry, I was so tired after I posted it that I slapped a link up top and slunk into bed. I'll make it more noticeable--it's at the very top. I shall also link it here. ;p

@Mae
Oh, good. I'm glad they're already a hit, haha. Yes, feel free to start making up sheets and posting them! And if you have any questions, I'd love to try and answer.

Also, this is the first game I'm running since...well, forever ago, so if there's anything that's standard for GMing in the RPGuild culture that maybe I'm missing, or even a game mechanic that works more efficiently than whatever I've got in play, I'm always open to that sort of suggestion / criticism. Just let me know!
