Title: Returning to Writing RPs
Post by: Shinzuu Katame: Her Tolfy on May 18, 2016, 09:29:42 PM
Okay, so it's been well over 18 months since the last time I wrote an RP, and well over 13 months since I've been in one. I'm dying of RP withdrawal so I'm wondering:

Should I write a new RP or should I pull one of the many that were never used from the archive? What do you guys think I should do?

An already written one may be easier to start if your worried about being rusty.

Why not pull a few summaries from what you haven't used yet or pull one that was active for a bit to get it up and running again?

Why do I get the feeling you want me to reboot Crystal Heights Academy?

As for the summaries, I am not going to write out over 100 summaries in a post.


EDIT: Now this leads to my next question:
Should it be a normal SRP or an Adult SRP?

I am curious to get back into RPing again, CHA could use a reboot as it was way too short-lived (but had a LOT of potential). I don't mean ALL of your ideas, just pick and choose a few that you'd find most interesting and see what we think.

For ratings... Adult locations are too quiet at the moment, so I'd say stick to normal SRP.

You should know by now, Vos, I love ALL my creations equally.... until they subsequently flop.

And cue a specific youtube ASDF video. But joke aside, I don't think CHA fully flopped... probably was not-so-ideally placed.

Well, CDH is only meant for the adult section, unfortunately. However, pick a genre, and I'll start digging.

hmmmm.... well, Valley of the Wind fell under that category. I'll see what other Steampunk-ish RPs I can pull up.

Hm... any Steampunk-Fantasy hybrids?

I'll check that after work. Though VotW was a steampunk fantasy

Hm... alright. Do you have a premise for Valley of the Wind for us to see?

Sorry, it was Valley of the Mist, and I thought you were one of the original players there, but basically, the world had experienced the emergence of dragons during the dark ages, which caused the world to crack all around, creating a world of Valleys consumed by mists. These mists make traveling outside of one of the various kingdoms or major settlements severely dangerous as paths forged throughout the Valley are extremely narrow and fraught with many flying creatures that emerged because of the Dragons' war that terraformed the world.

The RP takes place after a major industrial breakthrough as society managed to weaponize alchemical formulas. For instance, special musket balls can be bought that explode or immediately freeze a small area, etc. It basically eliminated the need to bring alchemists around, and made them filthy rich. Also, Mages were able to temporarily enchant weapons (due to limits materials can hold). Non-magicals had developed steam-based machines which made transportation and resource harvesting easier, though transportation is normally used by the rich as air ships are rare and expensive. Their inventions also included armour, weapons and prosthesis. Basically, the ruler of one of the kingdoms summons are willing adventurers to seek out an ancient artifact. However, unlike the artifacts that are normally asked of adventurers, this one is of special interest.

Oh yes, I found one in my Fantasy line-up. It takes place as humans finally develop steampunk-ish technology to combat creatures and to make life a bit easier. It's called Industrial Fantasy. At this point in time, everything is still in the experimental stage, roughly 10 years since the technology became known. No modes of transportation exist (that work anyways), and weapons/armour are still fairly expensive (for quality ones).

The first one does sound familiar to a degree, but I've really only been in four of yours: Both "Search for Mana"'s, Crystal Heights Academy, and I am unsure on the last one as I know which of my characters I used, but not the layout of the location that much.

And I am a bit curious on the Industrial Fantasy, which I might have to ask more details about it later pertaining to the full-setting.

The name of the RP is Industrial Fantasy. Kind of a play on words for Final Fantasy. I originally made this RP based on FF6, but not nearly as developed.

I figured on that, but I'm curious to see more pertaining to it.

Basically, during the industrial steampunk revolution, a new breed of mythical beasts appeared and started wreaking havoc. The king of the largest kingdom summons for the bravest warriors to take them on. While the eradication of the new threat is the main quest, there is much more to the quest for those who are brave enough to accept. This includes obtaining newly discovered items pertaining to the new breeds, as well as the trials of new, experimental inventions.
