Okay, so the idea is that you're a merc(I'm thinking Talons) and they notice the ferry at the south of the wasteland that taks people to Point Lookout. So, they go to it and go to Point Lookout. There, they discover all the bad things like swampfolk, and they can't get back to the wasteland because the boat broke down. So they explore the swamps and get captured by swampfolk and get put in the pens underneath the Trapper's Shack, have to escape, and many other things. Maybe even a swampfolk attack on the Calvert mansion? I dunno, it'll be a horror RP of some sort.

Is it a good idea? Or does it seem.. svckish?

I like the idea. It seems kind of generic, but it's still fun. I'm not sure they should be Talon, because that's evil by default. Just make them mercenaries, neutral mercenaries, so we can keep the ordinance and not have our personalities predetermined.

Go for it. Start a thread with a character sheet, and see what people think.

Also, it's linear, so you might want to consider placing it somewhere similar to Point Lookout - say the Everglades or Mississippi, and add two different factions. But it's your RP.

The idea is good, but I CANT join

I have no idea what Point Lookout is like untile Bethseda gets it for the PS3

That and I have postaphobia, and I cant get motivated to post in an RP.

I would join, but I haven't played Point Lookout yet, so I don't want to spoil myself, just in case. I really need to buy Microsoft points, but I have other things that my money is going to right now, so...

I like the idea, and it'd be a fun RP.

You could add a couple more factions to join, though, like maybe plain mercenaries, Swampfolk, Tribals, along with Talon.

Glad you guys liked it. I agree that it shouldn't be Talon, the only reason I thought Talon was 'cause I was in Point Lookout Swampfolk huntin' with full Talon armor(armor and helmet, obviously). Nothing beats double barrel shotgun on a creeper's head...

And for the people thinking it'll spoil, it won't, I'll point out a few locations and such and things with Swampfolk, but I won't once point out anything with the Point Lookout storyline. The Calvert mansion will be like before Desmond moves in. I will have references with Tobar, but nothing TOO spoiling. I have alot of ideas for this and I think it will be really fun.

Your character may be a Tribal or swampfolk, but swampfolk MUST have explanation to joining the mercs.

And I don't want to take it anywhere else than Point Lookout- I don't have time to make new enemies and areas, and Swampfolk are like the center of the story. They're going to be what makes this a horror RP.

ALSO, I need help thinking of a name. Thanks!

Should I make the sign-up thread yet?

Doesn't seem like a lot of people would join, I wouldn't, I don't know anything about Point Lookout.

I don't need alot of people.. I could start with five people if I wanted to, that's all the RP really needs.

Whatever, it's your call. You should decide for yourself.

I can't think of a name, does anybody have any ideas?

Uhhhh...Run-In With the Locals?

Or Swampfolk Country?

I'm not one for titles myself. You shouldn't have to rack your brain for one, though. Find something simple.

How about Trapped or Escape, I don't know, that's the best I got.

Escape from Point Lookout.

Alright, I got a name and the thread is up. http://www.gamesas.com/bgsforums/index.php?showtopic=1015452 it is.
