Original Sci-Fi RP discussion

[Zarkan]

Well, this is the place fore me and others to discuss a yet to be named Original Sci-fi RP.

[A®heim]

I'm here.

[{ Lasky }]

~ Elav here =P

So, should we start with the game's overall theme and base story?

[Zarkan]

You guys can go ahead and post your Ideas on anything really, I'll make a list of my Ideas and post probably tomorrow.

[A®heim]

Ditto

[{ Lasky }]

So first a theme.
Like what kind of feel should the game have?
What kind of music could you envision going along well with it?
I'm talking about more than what genre the game fits into, I'm talking 'bout style.

lawlz that sounded obnoxious xD

On this note, from talking with Zarkan, I think a realistic approach
is called for. Nothing too exotic or "out there" - I believe it was
already decided that there would be no time travel, and limited
"magic" or other powers.

After that is the base story that serves as the foundation for the
ongoing plots. A list... I need a list... >.>

1. Theme
2. Base Storyline
3. Races
4. Government
5. Societal Structure
6. Culture
7. Technology
8. Factions, Guilds, etc

Well, try to do this in order:
1.Theme I don't have one, nor do I really want one.
2.this isn't well formed for one I'm not sure there will be one Global plot seeing as I'm not looking to have for instance One "Good" side and one "Bad" side or anything like that.
3.well right now we know we'll have humans, and I also have a idea for a mechanical/insect race.
4/5/6.well there isn't a universal one so probably all will have a mix of cultures and Governments.
7.I'll address this one better later I'll just restate that I don't want a even level of tech nor do I want a god-ish species tech wise floating around either.
8.Probably many though I don't have any now persay but I don't see even a species wide governments being real common for most species nor multi-species governments.

I should've put S's on all of those and made em plural -
I just wasn't playing attention. ~ NPA! (Not Paying Attention) =P

As far as races go, I've made RPG's before so I'll try to find
some that could fit in with what I think you're going for. Most of
em should be simple enough.

I should have a few items / technological ideas for them
around... here... somewhere...

~ I'll have to get back to this tomorrow.

[Jace]

I will say this for nao.

It is best to start off with I dunno...maybe three races(so there is no good or bad per se). Kinda get a starcraft feeling to it. Once you decide on the three types of races...Humans,Cyborgs, and bugs(?) or whatever then move on from there to the other stuff.

I'm liking how this is looking, But maybe more Races? Or are we just thinking 1 System?

[Zarkan]

I want more races this is just what I have now >.<

[Jenno]

Here's a little suggestion, perhaps a race which is based mostly around their religion?

[☢Axl☢]

I particurally like this idea and I was thinking to just expand in our own universe, the real one.

We could maybe have the Americans and the Russians or Chinese as a particular rival who both try to gain the trust of the newly discovered planets, for awhile it could've just been a sort of cold war, and then it could just break into all out total war....just a thought.

[A®heim]

Again, that's basically the plot of EVN. Maybe we should just make an EV RP

[Zarkan]

Actually I was planning not to have china exist anymore, considering they and india nuked each other out of exsistance in 2655 XD. It's why the capital of the ESC is Mars rather than earth.

[Val - Warning:Contains Sarcasm]

Living spaceships? Or would that be too awesome? ^^

[sparrow]

Oh c'mon! What'd the Chinese people ever do to you?

... awkward silence...


Anyways, I'd rather see an RP that keeps any real world stuff out. Just seems easier that way.
