We don't need several threads soliciting photo evidence of body parts, and we already know that we only care about yaoi. Failure to comply will only result in deletions and butthurt.

GAME IDEAS

[rpanonmod]

ZZZZOMBIES

[(Anonymous)]

- jamjar, characters brought in through a portal
- unfortunately portal also brings in tons of zombies
- aw shit time to shoot things
- death is permanent but characters can get turned into zombies

there are regular human zombies, along with undead monsters from other canons (silent hill, half-life, etc.). the goal is escape, somehow.

things that idk about
- locations
- comm system or no comm system
- how escape might work
- modding??? i'm pretty busy over the school year but i can get things up and running
- everything else
- can we just have a horror survival game with no opportunity for ~~slice-of-life~~ moments

Re: ZZZZOMBIES

[(Anonymous)]

you know, it'd be really interesting to see a nonjamjar zombie game. i know AUs have a bad rap, but it'd be interesting to get to play out the beginning of the apocalypse. the whole ~new world and trapped~ thing has been played out way too much. for once it'd be interesting to just focus on the zombies and for the characters to know there's no escape. for their families to be dead or missing. there's a real personal element of watching the world and people you know die around you that jamjars miss.

also, i love the death is permanent aspect.

if i was more motivated i would combine zombies and that gritty apocalypse game together into one glorious pile.

Set it in Raccoon City because. I dunno, it could be a bit like the Outbreak games? The only issue is that Raccoon City got nuked but you could just say that the government is working on containment, or maybe if you wanted the game to have a definite end somewhere, characters have to escape before they get nuked! Also, giant crocodiles and stuff.

Probably none of the above is valid but god I'd love to see a decent zombie game that LIVES.

Re: ZZZZOMBIES

[(Anonymous)]

ankles is already working on a proper zombie survival game. It was on the last meme or two I think?

Re: ZZZZOMBIES

[(Anonymous)]

Comm system, but walkie talkies. Have a range and everything.

Re: ZZZZOMBIES

[(Anonymous)]

But Silent Hill monsters aren't really undead or dead for the most part.

Re: ZZZZOMBIES

[(Anonymous)]

tell me this is still happening

DIGIMON GAME

[(Anonymous)]

anon from last post, you still working on one? what have you got so far?

Re: DIGIMON GAME

[(Anonymous)]

Not them but I'm hoping/seconding hopes for no canon characters allowed and heavy importance on Digimon partners.

Will not be apping if there are canon chars sorry to say, the Route ripoff is bombing primarily because of this while Route continues to be amazing in part because it lacks that kind of thing.

the perfect AU game

[(Anonymous)]

What would it be like?

I know AU games tend not to be popular, but what if you could impose something like a 500 character limit on the history section to give the players a breather? What would be a good way to circumvent the issue of castmates?

Would it be better to set an AU game in a canon universe (AU Kingdom Hearts game! AU Star Wars game!) or a completely invented one?

Re: the perfect AU game

[(Anonymous)]

I'd personally prefer an invented universe over a canon one always. The problem with canon universes are that usually only people in that fandom are interested.

As for history and canonmates... I used to play elsewhere and all the (original) characters lived in one town so it was inevitable some of them knew each other and had best friends and exes and all that jazz. Everyone had a "history" post and if you wanted to have any past with that character, you could post and plot it out there. I think that'd be good to have and use for both canonmates and crosscanon cr.

Re: the perfect AU game

[(Anonymous)]

There was a canon based AU game that did well for a while... I think it had been around for over a year? It was ages ago on LJ, though. So I do think they are possible it just really depends on the interest level.

The above anon brings up a good point that it would have to be a well known canon too. I think you could probably garner a lot of interest if it was say something like... Pokemon? At least I know I thought an AU Pokemon game would be awesome after watching that BW2 animated trailer for some reason.

Also I think the above anon has a neat idea on how to handle the castmate problem. You could have a comm specifically for it, too.

Re: the perfect AU game

[(Anonymous)]

Personally, I'd love an AU game with a historical premise. What would be neat is if the AU had no magic in question, but then after some time the characters could regain their powers from canon without actually knowing where they come from. Essentially, they would have to guess why suddenly in their life they've got ~magic~ or ~super healing~ or something else. That would add to some interesting development.

Re: GAME IDEAS

[(Anonymous)]

So we have an all girl romance game, an all girl slice of life type game- what if we had like an all girl adventure focused game or a horror focused game or basically any other sort of focus for a bit of all girl casts doing exciting or cool shit.

Re: GAME IDEAS

[(Anonymous)]

I posted something about this back when the anon comm was on LJ, but since we have a game based on the Western Zodiac, I'd really like to see one that has stuff to do with the Chinese Zodiac, possibly with the Cat thrown in for more conflict.

Bonus if the Four Gods - http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/TheFourGods - can be included.

Support group game/DR?!

[(Anonymous)]

Idea taken from here: http://bakerstreet.dreamwidth.org/228665.html?thread=163888697#cmt163888697

A DR would probably be easier, but a game based on this would make for much more easy CR between characters, if nothing else!

Would anyone be interested in making/helping make this game? I don't think I'm mod material myself, but I really want to see it happen, because I'd be all over that shit.

Metroid-verse Game

[(Anonymous)]

That misfire in the games sections got me thinking. It's got the lore backing, could no way be a jam-jar, and it's Metroid.

Why is there no awesome game based off this yet?

extreme kink/hedonism/brave new world sex game ?

[(Anonymous)]

http://rpanons.dreamwidth.org/8749.html?thread=30404141#cmt30404141

Is this still happening? Does anyone have any details? Some of us were really excited about it and we're hoping it's still going to happen.

Fatal Frame?

[(Anonymous)]

http://rpanons.dreamwidth.org/9854.html?thread=33477758#cmt33477758

Where did this lovely Anon go? I was really interested in this.

Re: GAME IDEAS

[trodemods]

IDK if this is really the right place to ask, but if anyone's willing, I'd love to hear suggestions/thoughts/ideas on running an AU game (this isn't my first game, but it's my first AU one). Any points of confusion in info pages and setting would also be nice; I've been looking at these info pages so long that I can't see where the typos and mistakes are anymore.

mmorpg

[(Anonymous)]

p. sure this existed once but no longer does

so characters playing an mmorpg basically. i envision something similar to wow but not totally. there could be a comm for in-game stuff, a comm for a forum or something and meet-ups in real life...somehow. obviously the real life stuff would work with castmates but idk exactly how it would work yet

SUPER SENTAI/POWER RANGER RP

[(Anonymous)]

The basic idea is panfandom Sentai/PR game. Characters are brought in, players can pick a unique weapon and power, then describe a mech for them. They can choose a color or be assigned one. Mods would assign player mechs as "arm, leg, or torso" (for example) pieces and any complete set can combine to make a combined mech. Mods would assign it so no part is in high demand.

Possibly AU, though plot could be bad guys are the ones that kidnapped the characters from their canons and when they win they can all go home. Good guys are supported by npc organization that supports them, gave them the power and mechs, and wants to be helpful overall and defeat the evil bad guys from depowering everyone in every universe making them ripe for conquering.

I could not run, no time, this but I could pump out tons of ideas for it if people are interested.

Another high school AU? Really?

[notredridinghood]

Damn straight another high school AU.

I've already started planning and work for such a game. My current gameplan is Disney and similar features, to work with a sort of fairytale/fantasy theme as far as allowed canons go.

I know past games like this haven't always succeeded, but I blame things like a lack of standards and organization. I've got plenty of both.

This is definitely a thing I'm doing, and it's a very sink or swim idea, but I'm going for it. The worst that could happen is it doesn't go far.

So, basically, is anyone interested in taking a mod adventure with me? Someone with graphic/layout skills would be awesome, but anyone interested would be boss. PM me and I'll give you more details and such. I have a fair bit of ideas and feelings about this game already, so someone flexible would be cool, but I'm looking for a partner, NOT an underling.

steampunk smut game

[(Anonymous)]

I'm working on a vaguely steampunk adult game where sex is illegal and has gone underground and taken a kinky twist.

I'd love if anyone has any ideas they could share about it being illegal - I'm not quite sure how to work punishments, or how to have people get caught etc.
