So, I've got this idea brewing in my head. Post apocalyptic world. Thinkin, maybe one or two fantasy races involved as well (i.e. Elven people, other things too...). The name of the game, survival. The setting? A metropolis, or city. What would be the big thing of the game? Gang wars, fighting for territory. I'm thinking atleast two gangs, both of them player run and filled with other players. Depending on how many people wanna play this, maybe more gangs.

Tech level? Well it's post apoc, alot of technology is lost, or hard to work without electricity. But there are possibilities of generators and stuff obviously . Cars, sure, but yeah hard to come by oil and gas and stuff. Weapons? Melee, guns, chainsaws, pipes, bats, all sorts of fun stuff!

But, it won't just be about the action. I'm thinking, it'd also be about the comradery between the gang-mates, and possibly secret friendships/love affairs between members of opposing gangs. Action, Social, FUN RPG! All the good stuff, thrown into a rough and tumble world where it's a daily struggle for survival! Well, anyone interested, lemme know here! Post thoughts, ideas, whatever you'd like . And as any of you who've played my games before you know I'll put work into it, and I'd love anyone from Demon Seeker and Ocean Sky to join, ya'll are fabulous . AND ANYONE ELSE TOO OF COURSE! XD

Sounds good...ill think of some ideas but im kinda pressed for time now...

Count me in..any possibility of homeade weapons? like an ethanol flamethrower?..lol

heres an Idea how about you create two prodominate gangs that are fighting for terrortory and survival...just a thought...

That was the original plan Sadoth. There'll be atleast two gangs, each of them controlling some kind of valuable resource or product (i.e., alcohol, weapons manufacturing, drugs, something) which gives them the funds to keep themselves one step above the rest of the population, keeping them in power and from getting taken out by the common peasants . Yes, home made weapons are pretty much the norm, though a flame thrower.... XD I don't think so, but perhaps one could be manufactured in game, if we happen to find the right components for it . I'm thinking that perhaps, one gang could have already been in the city and basically controlling it for a while, and then the other gang who've been a little nomadic for a while, trying to find a good city to settle in, comes in and starts fucking with the other gang's shit XD.

Now, for races. I'm thinking not so much 'fantasy' races as I'm thinking mutated humans. Though I'm not talking something trite and goofy like green, muscly stupid heads that snap necks for fun . Thinking more like a few races, each of them having mutated so a certain part of them is alot stronger than the other parts. I.e., one race has an accelerated intelligence, another increased agility, another increased strength, etc. Although, the mutated races also have decreased levels in the other departments, while a unmutated human is well rounded.

Then there's the question of, how should this great apocalypse of ours have happened? Nuclear war? I mean that's always good but still, it's a little over played. Perhaps some kind of sickness that swept the world, killing so many that it's taken a few hundred years for us to get on our feet? Or perhaps a World War of MASSIVE proportions, leaving nearly every country and land on the face of the earth desecrated and torn apart by the violence, leaving few survivors and having destroyed much of humanity's technology's and what not. Lemme know what ya'll think .

Okay, so so!

I say, Tech should be chemical and mechanical. Since those are resources you find basically anywhere (imagine one of those big machines with a sack filled with odd liquid, cogs spinning and spinning and spinning, making blobby and rough sounds at the same time, gas streaming out of pipes, etc. etc.).

Regarding the RP-shape (not only action-thingie), I certainly do miss relation/romance/stuff in most Fantasy-games I've played (usually because I always choose someone odd. You know what I mean, Axle).

And uh, yeah. Count me in.

ill play need a good futuristic rp to play in.

ill come up with ideas.

Good points,lol..Weapons wise, it would'nt be that hard to make one-or find one for that matter, if you knew what you were doing/wanted.
Apoc nuke's always a classic..radioactive storm?(think supernova or somthing) AI gone really bad, plauge, ect..those could also help define certain mutations, perhaps cybernetic implants are availible at certain points?( rescue person a from person(s) b-if you get them then they can give limited upgrades, ect)
Also, remember pre-apoc knowledge, if they're say for example over 18 years, they were in a non-apoc world and did somthing other than be part of a gang.

A radioactive storm would swipe out all life permanently.

I think we'll go for a mass war (of any type), considering some people survived. The mutation... nuclear hand-weapons? Bombs? I dunno.

I'm thinking bio-weapons rather than nukes. Some upstart extremist group in russia sezies one of the Russian missle silos and lets loose. Everybody dies. Execpt the few that were immune/mutated. 12 billion people, even a 1% immunity rate would mean 120 million people lived. Thats not including the mutated.

I think we should make it levels of mutation. Some of them are mildly mutated, giveing them bonuses and weakness, but others are so mutated they can no longer be considered humans. Zombies perhaps?

I like the idea of one gang invadeding the others city. If we settle on that, I call a place in the intruding gang. XD

I have nothing to contribute. It does sound like it's coming along well, however.

Not nuclear war or sickness though. Those are WAY, WAY OVERDONE. There's a new movie coming out sometime called Doomsday about the whole virus thing. We need to be original. I do kind of like a cosmic event. A Gamma Ray Burst wouldn't kill everything. It would kill a lot, but considering the number of humans, a fair portion would survive. If severe enough, it might do the whole mutation thing rather than just stripping the ozone layer.

i have an Idea somewhat like Horus...how about the sun is dying and expanding and that caused the temp of the world to go up and that raised cost of oil and such for cooling and then wars started occuring and blah blah blah...someone add if you want.

OOoooooooohhh.... I love your ideas horus and sadoth!!! I'm thinking that would work very well, the sun increasing it's heat output and thus raising the world temperature by, oh, what do ya'll think would be good? 20 degrees F? (sorry dunno celsius ) The mutations, well that could be caused by war-time weapons, i.e. biological weapons, small nuclear fallout, different gases and such, etc. And I'm thinkin I'll take the position of Leader of the invading gang... Who wants to run the city-based gang?

I'm up for the city-thingie.

And yeah, the sun warming up... that's actually a pro-apocalypse thingie!

P.S! This would also make the nights very cold, and the northern regions completely un-livable-ish. Yes, that's a new word I made up.

Well, the sun's temperature increasing is not what a gamma ray burst is, but okay. I'm fine with that.

If no one else has called it, I'll happily take the position of the city-based gang leader. I'd like to have to defend my territory, perhaps in a mini-siege.

i f no one minds can i take the position as axles second in command.

Also the sun expanding and city warfare would be good, lots of cool city combat, buildings falling down, car chase gun fights, the possibilities are endless

I'll be Axle's 3rd in command..haha..This is kinda reminding me of mad max.

I think we should raise it 20C, which is about 37F. Make it nice and hot.

And on the fact of second and third in commands: This isn't an army. There shouldn't be ranks. This is a gang. There is a gang leader, and his friends, then their are the underlings. I think we should get rid of most of the politics, as gangs don't usually have much of them. Since Im sure no-one wants to be an underling, we can assume that all player characters fall withen the category of the Leaders friends, thus making them a person of power withen the gang.

*wrings hands maniacally* Yeeessss, yessss my precioussss!!! Indeed, all players will hold a position of power in the gang, unless they REALLY wanna play an underling (also read as Go-fer, Bitch, and under-paid-over-worked XD). This way, we'll have lots of NPC's under our control on both sides (can anyone say CANNON FODDER?). And hmm, I do like the warm weather Lith XD.

1: I know that it's not a gamma ray (burst).
2: I said I wan't to be in command of the city-gang.
3: I don't mind if Horus is.
