Looking for CreativeCo-GM for Video Game Inspired Fantasy RP

Shanatos · **Tips:** 0.00 INK by **Shanatos** on Wed Apr 23, 2014 1:16 am

I have an idea for a rather genre mixing RP, though it would slant towards fantasy and probably fantasy RPGs in general as far as its basic structure and aesthetic inspirations.

The gist of the setting is as such. It would follow video game logic and conventions, for instance the setting consists of several worlds (such as a fire world, an ice world, a forest world, things like that). Destroying people or objects makes their residual energy turn into things like money or power-ups. Where someone's "level" is a real, tangible, measurable thing.

The plotline would revolve around the fact that each world is "ruled" (albeit loosely) by a Boss, its most influential denizen. Each player would take the role of a protagonist who bears a grudge against one or more of these Bosses, and it would be their personal story to defeat them in some way. In general this means the players are on their own faction, but could also have a considerable amount of strife and rivalry to keep things interesting.

I'm basically looking for someone who is really creative and into worldbuilding who would be interested in helping out with this. I have most of the setting ideas drawn up, but could use some additional input rounding everything out and finalizing the details with a second set of eyes, and I'd appreciate the help in weaving the storyline alongside someone.

(Also, it'd be nice if it was someone willing to do this as a 1x1 in case, if all else fails, there aren't any other interested parties or things die.)

Leave a message here or PM me if you want to know more.

This is really awesome. I'm definitely interested in roleplay.

Are you going to have "lives" or save points? Will there be bags that can carry unlimited supplies? What kind of weapons will the protagonist have? Are there going to be other fantasy races?

The repercussions of having incentives for murder... society would be so different.

Count me in.

Are the "worlds" simple different areas of the same map, or are they in different dimensions? If it's the latter, then how would one switch to a different world? Would they have to defeat the boss, or is it as simple as casting a spell?

I'm interested, even if you don't need any more help GMing. Just put me on the invite list when the RP gets up. :P

Yes. "One-ups" are an item people can obtain (though they'd be rare). Save points, probably not.
And yes, you'd have the option of having such a bag.
The idea is, a lot of these things exist, though not everyone has them... they might be a rare item or a special ability (so i.e. the protagonists would likely have them... most other people, not so much, it'll vary).

Weapons can be whatever you want, as well as races, much of that will be up to the player.
I'd also encourage players to think about what their inspiring 'genre' is... not all the bosses would be combat-oriented.

Some of these ideas I haven't finalized, which is why I'm seeking a co-GM to help with that.

They are semi-different dimensions. It's be a bit fudgey. i.e. the sky world you would get to by flying up high into the sky, but you'd still be in a different dimension of sorts. So there's major physical pathways to cross the boundaries.

There's also be 'warp zones' accessing these worlds via portals. The game would take place in a town with a warp zone in order to facilitate the travel.

I'll post some of what I have in a bit.

The RPG should be ready to post in even a couple days, I just need some help finalizing some of the details before posting it.
I also want to get the gist of what bosses there would be, since the main plot point would be each character has a grudge against one or more of them, so I want that finished for character creation purposes.

The RP is Under Construction here: roleplay/final-boss

Anyone who wants to drop by the OOC and contribute some ideas can feel free.
When it's ready I'll make a more proper recruitment thread in RPers Wanted.
