What kind of roleplay would you like better?
  One with limited amount of people. Like 4-7 at most
  One with endless amount of people able to join, just different posting segments depending on the roleplayers clan or content preference.
  Just a one on one roleplay.
  VERY limited like 2 or 3 people

I want to start a new roleplay that will be adventure with a little comedy and possibly romance.

Before I release any more details I want your ideas on what theme you guys want (feel free to introduce any of your own):

Roleplay universe based on Gaia world and the NPC's. (As portrayed by the comics)

Settler's of the west. Cowboys, pioneers, and Indians type deal.

Space exploration, and scifi.

Underwater city and life, aquatic creatures such as mermaids.

Horror mansion, slasher, suspense, and evil beings with a humourous twist.

Spies, undercover missions, and government conspiracies.

Historic events, looking at the individual lives rather than the big picture.

Personally, I'd rather encourage more creative role plays not based after any story already in existence, however if you can make it so you aren't trapped by the other stories pre-established storyline and make something just based after the same world, then those roleplays can be very good too.

Really, it's up to you what you want to make up.

However, if you want personal preference on what people would want, I'll be the first to give. I'm a bit of a Scifi person, so anything spacy and tech related could interest me. Underwater merfolk type story could be interesting as well. It would be different for certain. I'm usually fairly flexible though, so I tend to be able to adjust to the roleplay at hand.

I totally agree with you there. I definately would like to do more of an original roleplay, not based on existing series/cartoon/book, etc. To make it even more original, getting peoples advice would be awesome (after I introduce story, characters, etc.)

That's what I was hoping for, that way a larger variety of people could join, and use the world setting as a push start for their roleplay, but then continue it the way they wanted. For example their little roleplay group could choose to accept more mature content or just include the evil beings of that world (like a secret lair).
To go even further with that idea, people roleplaying from different threads could intertwine/crossover threads with less confusion and get more out of the roleplay.

You mentioned scifi, the more I think about it the more I like it. So i'll keep the two you mentioned in mind. Thanks so much for your feedback.

As far as that second part, you mean like this role play? http://www.gaiaonline.com/guilds/viewtopic.php?t=13422209

We went way off from the books, but I had a lot of fun! Of course... that was before I read the books, but even so, it was different from the books and completely our own.

As far as creating role plays goes, I'm not that good at it. I'm great at support though!
