Welcome to Gaia! ::

Okay I have a few ideas in my head that I want to do. Right now I am just going to shoot them off and see what sticks. I don't know yet if I am going to gm any of them or if someone else will. If I do gm then have patients with me, and I expect you to be active in the story. I am just sick and tired of getting into a game and not being able to get far into it due to drop outs.

Anyways there are a few ideas for rp's I want to do. Their theme is simple enough and something that can be worked on. Each one involves survival. I wanted to do a simple concept as well as to do something personal and deep in character development and involvement. Also these ideas will be brief and short due to the fact I do not want to create too much for an rp when it is not going to be run. Also I am not starting any game system yet due to the same reasons.

Monster Hunters:

A small country is being under threat by a powerful monster. It has wreck havoc among the country and the local ruler has given a massive bounty on it's destruction. You the players decided for some reason or another to hunt the monster. As such travel and exploration is a major part of it.

The game main concept is hunting and taking out that threat. Yet there will be a variety of smaller threats and problems that pop up. Either due to other animals and/or more intelligent creatures that are causing problems at different communities. This will be in a fantasy setting. I may do this more as a one shot story to get people into gaming or for something bigger.


Zombie rp:

The day was an average day for you. It was evening and school was over. The sky was clear and it was sunny outside. You were lead on a bus to go on a class trip to the local forest to go on a nature retreat for the weekend.

Everything went out without a hitch. You are in the middle of the forest. When it became dusk was when it occurred. That was when things went to hell. With out warning, they appeared. Things that what was once a stable of horror movies and video games, became real before your eyes.

This is a modern day setting. Players will play a group of survivors. They will face a variety of threats from both the living and the dead. I was hoping for a horror feel with a good dose of action and maybe comedy.


Post apocalypse rp:

This game will take place in a near future story. The world has collapse due to a major war. This war change both the landscape and the lives whom live in it. Few people survived unscathed. Those who did had to live underground due to the effects of the weapons used in the world.

It has been a 100 years since people stepped out from the ground. You are among the first few send out to see if the world can be rehabilitated. The reasons you were chosen were both by chance and by a choice among a list among fellow enlistees with skills similar to yours. The game starts on the last day before you are sent out to explore this new world.


Dance in the moon light:

You wake up in an old abandon mansion. You can smell the putrid stench of death everywhere. The smell of rotting corpses. You can feel and hear the floor creak below you. The only saving grace right now is that the place is dark say for the moonlight that illuminates the room you are in. There is a deep red covered on the walls, most likely blood. It reads a not so elaborate message. It says:

Hello, welcome to my party. I am sorry for the looks, haven't had time to get things fixed. I'll hope to be meeting you soon. Oh, and I wouldn't go into the darkness unless you want a swift death. Anyways I'll meet you soon bye.


Pirate adventure:

You are among the survivors of the merchant vessel The Lady's Luck. You were attacked by Nightfang, the infamous pirate order who is run by the vile pirate whom is only know by the name of the Night King. No one except his most trusted admirals know whom he really is. As such the authorities do not know whom he is or where he is located. Few survive the order attacks and live to tell the tale.


Many of your fellow crew members died while fighting off the pirates. Yet it was all in vain as the ship explodes from from the inside and quickly sinks into the ocean taking both pirate and many of those who fought them with it. You were a drift for a few days till spotting an island in the distance. With some work and the currents you were able to make it to the island.

You have enough strength to get up and move around a small area of the island. From what you have seen so far it is a lush, deserted island say for yourself and those few survivors that you had found. Right now you do not know where you are precisely are. Yet there is only one goal that matters, survival and hopefully escape form the island.

This is meant to be either modern day, golden age of pirates, or fantasy style game. Basically either a revenge, exploration, and/or survival style story. I want to do this as either a pen or paper game or a post game.

Mecha or suits rp:

In the near future mankind has started to explore the solar system. Technology is for the most part similar to our age. Politic are politics and nations try to strive to be competitive. People are basically people trying to strive for their own goals and desires. Yet all that changed one day.

Slowly our colonies started to stop communicating with their home lands. At the same time all over the earth the sky was filled with streaks of lights like fallen stars. Soon those streaks fell and they rose. Machines that remind people of a bad anime started to attack people. These machines were called gears due to their looks.

Yet these machines were deadlier then they looked. Our greatest technologies could harm them, but did little to stop the tide of their rising. They dealt massive amount of damage to the world countries in short time due to their numbers and tactics. Those who did not band together soon died off quickly. When the initial attacks were over those whom survived were able to get communications back.

Only one fourth of the colonies survived the attacks. Those who did so with the help of a new experimental systems that help out to fight the various threats. These new systems were newly dubbed angels by the media. Yet few people could pilot these things due to the mental and physical demands of the system. As such a mass search was started to find those who could pilot them.

It has been several years since then. The gears have been contain in a sense, but not defeated. Yet no one knows whom or what created the gears or for the reasons behind the attacks. For that reason you were chosen. You are a new unit created by a new U.N. to help discover the reasons behind the gears attacks and to defend the earth against the gear threat as well as those whom would seek to take advantage of the current predicament humanity is under.

Okay now here is the technical details I wanted to do a mecha game. It has elements of survival, combat, and exploration.

I'm a little overwhelmed myself, but I think you've got some great ideas.

How about combining a few of them? Like Monster hunters who use mech suits or a zombie break-out in a pirate setting?

I like the idea that Thornwick suggested. Like you mentioned, they all have a basic survival theme to them. (Something I've been wanting to try my writing hand at for a while.) That makes it possible to merge some of the concepts together. And depending on which ones you merge and how, you could come up with some really neat and interesting dynamics to play around with for the characters.

Which set ups do you like the most? I'd take the top two, maybe three and see that happens if you mesh them together.
