Idea Dump: Contribute or Use ( )

Postby Rulke on Sun Sep 04, 2011 11:09 am

I'm one of those people who have too many ideas to handle at one time, I know for certain not alone in this. This thread is for people to donate ideas can't use or too busy to use and let someone else take it. You would post anything from advanced plots, to minimum suggestions. This could also be used for ideas of character or events to do in MV, nothing is considered too much.

Edit:

Already got an idea to dump here:

An Order of Paladin that have Committed Crimes, but still choose Honour above all.
We help the multi-nationals
when they cry out protect us.
The locals scream and shout a bit,
but we don’t let that affect us.
We’re here to lend a helping hand
in case they don’t elect us.
How dare they buy our products
yet still they don’t respect us.

I love topics like these~! I jacked most of these from my what-if topic 'cause I'm lazy herp derp:

  • Okay, so you take some monsters and put them in a school, yeah? Except you only allow obscure ones (no vampires, werewolves, shapeshifters, fairies, witches, mermaids, succubi/incubi, demons, angels, ghosts, etc.; think Vetalas, Astomis, Harionagos, Wendigos, Iaras, etc.), they aren't there to learn, the school is empty aside from these random monsters, everything is locked, and no one has any idea what's going on. Hilarity ensues! Or panic. Or blood. Probably blood.
  • A bunch of silly teenagers get magical powers! ...Except there's no crime, aliens, zombies, or just evil in general to fight. Scientists don't care about dissecting crazy kids to learn about their powers (for some reason, idk convenience I guess), so the worst that would happen is people begging you to use your powers for them...
  • Random people from all across the world have an out of body experience...but can't get back in. They all end up being pulled into an otherwise boring building, and presumably some kind of plot would present itself.
  • A group of almighty beings suddenly decide to start hanging out with people on Earth. Hilarity ensues! Or panic. Or bl---wait a minute...
  • Some big villain takes over the world...and things are actually pretty okay. How does this affect the lives of heroes, other villains, and random citizens?
  • Plants solemnly battling.
  • Vampires, werewolves, and all of those other popular monsters exist...but it turns out that they actually have all of their species' weaknesses and none of the strengths we assumed!
  • RPers start waking up as their characters! O:
  • RPers start waking up as their favorite canon characters! O:
  • Our valiant group of heroes have finally reached the big bad after getting all of the obligatory magical objects and a shitload of power-ups. The villain naturally goes through the whole 'join me, and we can rule together!' speech...and the heroes say 'sounds legit' and agree. What happens next? Why did they say yes?
  • People from alternate dimensions suddenly start coming into our world for whatever reason the GM decides, seeking out their 'normal' counterparts for whatever reason the GM decides part two.
  • There's this RP where people control elements. You know, like helium, neon, selenium... (I don't remember who had that sig, but this was totally inspired by it.)
  • Memes live together in a big mansion. Hilarity ensues! And panic. And blood. But mostly hilarity!
  • Mary Sues, Mary Sues everywhere! And a group of people suspiciously unaffected by their Sue-ness...

My Ballin' RPs:
A Field :: A Field + You + Testing
Lila :: TWEWY + Inception + Higurashi + LOST + Almighty Beings + MAGIC BALLS + Crossovers + LSD
Maple Manor :: Maid Outfits + RPG Rules + Plumbing

That was me, before I changed my signature. I'll probably change it back once my RP ends xD

I actually might use that one where mythical creatures have all the weaknesses but none of the strengths... being a vampire would suck but it would be bloody fun. Haha! Get it, it is a double pun! See, becau-*shot*

1. This was from another website, lost in the backlog of Internet history. We had a "World Building" project, and about ten collaborators (with one organizer/overseer who decided what feature we'd work on, took votes, and uploaded our content to its own page), and we systematically went through everything from basic geology to player races. It took a few months to complete a single world. We didn't even take it to the next logical step, actually playing a game on that world. But it was fun.

2. A game that takes place around the time when humans first use magic. Might be tied to something significant in human prehistory, such as the agricultural revolution, or to primitive artwork (eg. the builder of the Venus of Willendorf inadvertantly creates a Goddess of Magic).
