RP Idea- Discussion Thread (Have a peek)

Post » Fri May 13, 2011 3:06 pm

:P Quite the name for a character, Dren. Atticus was a very important character in a very good book :D I just finished reading it a few weeks ago.



The beginning wasn't good, but the book was decent.

It was really me being "forced" to read it, that made me hate it...

Anyway, off topic. I'll let Dren finish his deal.

It's good see so many of you have taken an interest to it. Despite having developed a plot for Morrowind, I can sense the hunger to write somewhere other than Cyrodiil or Vvardenfell. How do you guys and gals feel about Elsweyr? Or perhaps as Darkom suggested, we'll take this rp to mainland Morrowind.

I think it would be great. I've been wanting to get more into lore and geography of the rest of Tamriel and this would give me a good reason to. Would be pretty cool to be able to branch out of where most RP take place.

Maybe a tainted batch of Skooma or Moon Sugar reaches some "unpleasant" people, and sends Hitmen after us, so we have investigators and assassins at our tails?

I think I'm going to keep what we transport in the dark. This should add to the excitement and whatnot.

Edit: We'll be using this map. I think I'm going to start the rp in Elsweyr. Who all thinks this is a good idea, yay or nay?

Man Dren, I'll take part as whatever you need, whether a criminal, smuggler, or agent. If done right, this RP=gold...

I know, but maybe in the past? Or we get small boxes of unimportant items (In this case, Skooma). For more of a "Not one step back, keep moving, don't stop 'til ya die" Sort of feeling.

So when do you think you could have a story up for this. Ive been looking forward to getting into an RP and don't want to join the already active Dark Bloods.

Probably some time after Christmas. I'm at headquarters right now on State Duty so I can't put too much time into the rp. How does some time after the holidays sound? I still need to work out a decent plot.

sounds fine to me. A well thought out plot is better than a quickly organized one by far. Would give me time to possibly think out basic character guide lines as well.

Anyone stopped by the community discussion thread? The audacity of people. Egh. Anyway, I'm going to make it clear now that I want only two classes. Criminals (and their bodyguards) and the Imperial trackers hunting them down. I'll have the sign-up thread up this weekend if time allows.

Not really, but I suppose people may have their reasons. There's no point in starting an rp right before the holidays just to have everyone abandon it. I know I probably wont be on much then. Probably just to update 'Trials'.

If it's active than I'm in.

Might even use the crime lord that was the center of one of my previous characters.

I'd rather start in kitty country. Morrowind really doesnt appeal to me at all, It never has. Call me crazy but the "Alien" landscapes and cities that every one creams over just bores me. Its always one thing, ash, greys and black and browns. The range is too drab for me to enjoy writing about.

I agree 100%

And Elyswer just seems more interesting to me, everyone is so obsessed with all of the Morrowind stuff that it kind of gets old. So, you can count my vote with Solidor on this one.

I think a lot of people are just saying how much they love Morrowind, and or Cyrodiil because those are the areas were familiar with. Anyways, still think it would be interesting to develop an RP around a new and unknown area.

Elsweyr soulds great. So we're all going to be smugglers smuggling an unknown good, or bounty hunters trying to take out the smugglers?

Sounds good, though I'd lace that in with an underlying plot as well.

Also, crossing my fingers that the goods are daedric artifacts.

You can also be body guards for the smugglers if I'm correct. I think it would be interesting if the smugglers are working under someone. The person who is ordering the transportation of the goods. Maybe only having one high member of the smugglers know what the goods are, and all the others are just hired skill to assist with it. The body guards would then basically know nothing, and are merely to protect, but they may become curious depending on the writer of course.

Well, I would absolutely love to have one of the jobs with higher responsibilities, if the TC would allow that. I'll leave it up to him, though.

Shouldn't be a problem as long as your active enough. I'll stick with a lowly body guard as I'm kind of new with the RPing business.

All wonderful ideas. My lore in Elsweyr isn't as sharp as the other provinces. Would it be too much to ask for link to the Imperial Library for more insight on Elsweyr? It's my understanding the government in Elsweyr is relatively new.

Anyway, I'm still developing a strong plot for the rp. I'd like to get a sign-up thread out with the OP, character sheet template, rules, etc today. As I've said before I'm pretty busy working but I'll try to get something neat and interesting going a.s.a.p.


I'll post a rough draft of the OP when I can.

Could I possibly get one or two other people to help me? I hate to ask, but I find that multiple minds working to brainstorm a plot can provide some color.
