I started making an rp a little while ago off a random idea I came up with. It was actually right before I joined this guild ;p, but I'm curious if I should finish it and post it or post it here and get suggestions or what. Anyway, link here. Hopefully I'm allowed to link, sorry if not. Just not sure if I should repost it up here or what. Opinions of any kind?

Ah it's like a modern version. That's cool...that we are similar to the characters but not exactly like them. Although...I was wondering about some things.
1. Seeing as how many years have passed...wouldn't some of those people not be in the same business as their ancestor. I mean I can see the mafia thing because kids tend to be forced into it because they were born into it. But yea...
2. Are you just going to pick who is the murder and act like more of a narrator?
3. If you did pick the murder...would you tell the person that he or she is the murderer? I know that in clue you didn't even know if you were the murderer yourself but still.
4. Also, if you did tell the murder that they did it...do they get to decide how they killed the person, with what and why?
5. Will a detective come onto the seen?
6. Is it a bit deeper of a story...like that the murderer didn't actually want to do it but was forced my a ghost...or that there was a special reason to gather all the main characters together...you know, besides to act out a game of clue. Hahahaaa
Sorry...I really get detailed with roleplays. I think that's why my friends seem to like asking me for help with theirs...
Anyway, I think that's all I have for now. ^_^

No no don't apologize! All those questions were exactly what I wanted. Let me try to answer all of them.
1. Good question, probably didn't explain that well enough. The general premise is that they don't have to actually be in the same line of work or anything like that, just kind of have the... essence of that character, you know? So Mr. Green is all super shady, cigar, revolver, blah blah, so his ancestor could be anything from the son of a huge mafia boss to a chik that scams people on the street. Does that make sense? I don't want exact replicas, I want creative weird characters that make you think of the originals, but really don't have to be them at all.
2 & 3... ish. I had a couple different ideas for how the murders and clues and everything were going to work out, but I'm having trouble really putting it all together. That's probably something I'd like to have the most discussion on. But I think it's gonna mostly be something that's worked out in pms but is kept a secret for as long as possible. I had a couple different ideas and we might discuss that after everything else if you'd like. ;p Oh but to answer the second part of that, yeah I'll be the narrator. If the story goes one of the ways I'm thinking, I'll play the butler, the maids, blah blah. That's why I want all the slots full if possible before starting, cause I don't wanna influence anything while in character.
4. This is kind of answered up there, cause I mostly have no idea ahahah, but I'd like to make it a random thing like the game, with the same items and all that good stuff. But not so blatant obviously. But I'd like to have the murders revolving around one of the weapons and the elaboration of that would totally be by the players. I'd just kind of be the one that says the result and everyone else gets to lead up to it.
5. If there's interest outside of the six original characters, I'd totally create extras. Even some of the newer clue characters could work, like Sergeant Gray and Madame Rose ;p It's not in the plan at the moment, but if it would fit in the story there may be spaces for characters like that.
6. Actually, I have kind of a rough idea of the actual reason for them being there, and how the murders connect. I may explain that to you in private if you're not gonna be an actual character, but I don't wanna give it away if you want to be a player. Which of course I'd like you to be.

I see I see...so a lot isn't really figured out yet. ^_^
Anyway, I like helping so feel free to PM me about it. In all likelihood...I'd probably prefer to join as an actual character so I might not be able to help with the reason why their there part.

I wonder, will you be incorporating any of the ideas from the movie? For instance, in the movie, the reason for everyone assembling at Boddy Mansion was that they were being blackmailed. That also provides motive for the murders.
Also, in the movie, there were people like Yvette the maid, the cop, and the motorist, which could be ways for you, as GM, to direct the story.
Just some ideas. this sounds kind of cool.

Actually, yes, but not intentionally ahahha. I haven't seen the movie actually ;o Though I have the board game Clue II I think? That has a movie as part of the game. Which is extremely fun. Blackmail may be a part, slightly. Surprise though ;p That's one of the ways I'm thinking of going though.
Which characters would you guys like to be by the way? Just out of curiosity ;p
And yes, it took me this long to recover from that show >_> I stood like nine hours in line, don't judge me.

The movie is one of my favorites, and I highly recommend it.
Also, I'd be interested in the Mrs. Peacock-esque character.

Veryyyy nice ;p Usually everyone either hates her or loves her o_o Are you thinking oldschool or the newer sophisticated old version? ;p That sentence made no sense.
