Character Sheet:




Hello there,

Dribble:

I saw this and it was new to me, being a returner to the RP,

Inquisitive, I poked my head into a thread or too, and was elated to see wondrous RPing the likes of which have not been seen here for quite some time. And while I assure there are good TES RPers and RPs that I may well participate in/with, I feel a knew RP would be best to blossom here, where a golden age is still going strong.

Idea:

Raiders assail Megaton for an unknown purpose (I promise it makes sense as far as motivation goes there's no mind control here), and calls have been sent to the BoS via ham radio. For some reason, the cries for help were met with a resounding "Yes" and a Brotherhood squad is on it's way and will arrive in a week.

So, with the raiders on the outside, the Brother Hood en route, and the gate locked, all is well, right?

Wrong. Oh so wrong.

The RP picks up with Lucas Simms and his son found dead in their house. The citizenry of Megaton is afraid, disoriented. There's no way in or out of town, there's no way for the raiders to scale the walls.

The obvious answer? There is a murderer amongst them, and they must ferret him out.

You play as a resident/visitor of/to Megaton, (be creative within reason, you cannot be affiliated with any organization). So traders, wanderers, just another person living in Megaton, or anything reasonable you imagine.

The idea is the first day, the town gathers and decides something must be done. Then, they decide if the killings continue someone will be lynched every day. That means 6 lynchings maximum (so 7 people would be ideal).

What makes this original? One of the killers is you! And you'll have the option to assail player characters!

How this works:

The "normal" people: RP. This is Megaton, though larger then the game version there are still the same shops and stores. Eat, drink, live, talk, do drugs, (murdering is an obvious choice but a bit redundant in a lyncher. You PM to me how you "prepare" for the night, but everyone will know where you're sleeping unless you want to be sneaky.

The Murderer: You PM your murder plan to me, and I post it. We see how stuff plays out, and if you mess up the RPer has a chance to escape or even kill you. Note: You try to hide who you are, so act natural.

This RP is kind of on a schedule, because at the end of the week the Brotherhood will arrive.

If we don't get 7 players I'll make "important" NPC's who can get lynched.

What do you think? Ideas? Feed-back?

EDIT#1: changed minor grammatical errors.

I might join. Im not really in the mood for one of these but if i cant find anythign better I may join

I don't know there are too much RP's going on right now so i'm not sure many people would join. But i'm only one person who thinks so so far so lets see what other people think.

Seems like a unique idea in my opinion. All of the other RP's on this board tend to mesh together (no offense). Squad of guys with guns. Guys with guns kill stuff. Guys with guns win. /End.

Actually I changed my mind. I didn't read it all the first time but one question. Isn't this like werewolf.

EDIT: http://www.gamesas.com/bgsforums/index.php?showtopic=1006120

I think this is a great idea, personally. I like because its unique and that it has a time limit. Some people may not like having such a short time limit, but I think it's great because when it becomes long it usually drags on and becomes boring. The fact that you have a beginning and a end will make this RP run smoothly,assuming all the RPer's play along correctly. This is just my opinion and I hope it helps, but if you do decide to create this, I'll join

You hit the hammer on the nail. Also like Mafia (werewolf is a spin off) and greatly akin to a type of RP known as a "Lyncher".

If, for some reason, the murderer doesn't manage to kill most everyone, well there is a real story behind it and we could have a quick little "real" RP to make up for the lost anticipation.


Thank you.

Pretty much everything you said is why I decided to do this rather than a normal RP :foodndrink:

Anyway now that I thoroughly read it I would join.

The more the- more people to die!

Oh something just struck me, seeing as people get murdered and Lynched, and assuming our murderer doesn't continually fail and escape, even 7 people won't have 1 man left at the end assuming all kills are successful (a probable scenario). But that's good, it encourages small alliances.

There should be at least two murderers though.

I guess that can be decided on how many people there are/what people want. I'm going to let some other people post...

What if a murderer murders another murderer, ironic, but I think it would be better to have one. With two it could arouse more suspicion and the murderers could be caught more easily. I think one would be just fine, with tow murders it just make thing more complicated and I think that one psycho is enough. This is just my opinion and if you have a better reason on why there should be two, please explain/.

After thinking it over (and rebootng my computer) I decided I will join

How about we use the werewolf rules or something

http://www.gamesas.com/bgsforums/index.php?showtopic=1006120

The rules of this one are what makes it diffrent and interesting though

I agree, if you start copying the rules its no longer unique, but I'll still join if you do.

Well seeing as it is the same game but a different setting and i'm just saying to take some rules not all.

Yes, I'm also pro 1 killer, but if there is high demand for multiples I'll think it over.




Yes, but you overlook the fact that this is an RP, not a forum game.

There are 2 rules in my RPs,

Rule # 1:

Treat your neighbor as you want to be treated.

Rule # 2:

Treat me as the undeniable hand of Fate.

Just out of curiosity, how many votes or thoughts on this before you decide to make the actually RP?

Okay, okay sorry.

So it's Werewolf in RP form? Sounds like a neat little project. Something I could probably do without worrying about my lack of spare time recently. Sounds like a quick affair too, which is always nice on the slow days. Sure, what the hell, I'll join up if you make it. I'm always up for these sort of games.

Are slots still open? I like the idea

I like this rule. Should come as standard, but you'd be surprised how some people just don't see it that way though...

I think this is a good concept, but the product could be very different and it might not work as well as we think. Definitely worth a go though!

I'm always up for trying something new

good work matey. I chose "Yes"

I'll put up a character sheet and after I get as many as we think we'll be getting we start it off.




Yes, there are still slots open. There is no limit on players.

Well, that just about covers it. If you're interested in joining the RP, PM me your sheet for approval.
