Quick question for everybody: I've been thinking of starting another SW RP - because this plot has been jumping around in my head and needs an outlet.

It would take place about a decade after Return of the Jedi, and be completely OC. Mainly OC. Any canon charries would have an extremely limited role, and are thus discouraged. The two main types of action would be political and 'action' (heh,heh)

A quick straw poll: who would be up for it? If there's enough interest I might send the plot to a few people to beta-read before actually posting it.

I might theoretically be interested. Before Their Time seems to pretty much be dead, and I could use another good SW RPG. What would be the basic plot?

I might be interested in that. I'm rather a Star Wars fan, I don't think I'd have too much problem with an OC.

going on a journey through my old claims

I'm not into SW so I couldn't help you there

I love having characters that carry the main plot as it makes it so much easier to move the plot along. If not, I conveniently seize the villain for the same effect (you may notice that all my villains tend to be powerful and cool beyond imagining sorcerers. I love my villains.) I've only played one female character that's actually gotten somewhere, and that's in the first rpg I ever joined on the forum (Dragonlance). I'm far more comfortable playing males these days, so much that playing a female feels unnatural. Even if I could make a female character, she'd end up remarkably tomboyish anyway.

My favorite characters end up having an ironic/cynical/arrogant world perspective and a caustic tongue. Most of them don't talk much as I prefer writing action more than idle palaver. My two most common professions are assassins and wizards.

Nurrantiel, mercenaries also happen to be my favorite. They fit into any rpg as long as the pay's good and there's a job handy.

I agree. There's so mouch potential with mercenaries.

Okay, I just posted Star Wars: Imadi Blood in the RP section. Please check it out!

As you know, Melda is a bit of a dialogue fanatic and can't go for very long without stopping to have some discussion My characters tend to have some input in the overall plot but not actually drive it with the exception of Phantom. I find being THE main character slightly intimidating sometimes, so I like it if there's a lot of collaboration as far as plot goes.

Mmmm, my charries are usually normal people as I see them. I prefer to play the kind of normal person you would meet on the street, except seen through my eyes. At the moment my forte include...

1. Changeling idiots.
2. Lazy, never-do-well, no good guys who can't make up their mind if they are good or bad.
3. Insane, power-hungry maidens.
4. Heroic men who are cursed, so they die half-way through the RP.


Okaay, looking over that list makes me question my, er, characters? None of them seem quite as normal as I expected...

I've got a new RPG up in the LotR section! Would be very kind if y'all would go in and drop by to check it out!

Sorry for double post, but MAN. What has happened?! Does no one post here anymore? There have been no posts here in nearly three days! Nada!

New RPG quesiton:

Do you have a harder time thinking up a plot for an RPG, or do you have a harder time making a really good post?

_________________

Erm, it really depends on the situation. I haven't come up with very many RP ideas, at least, good ones. lol I've only actually started one RP, but I do have some ideas floating around in my head. I usually don't have much trouble posting, but as far as really good posts go, that is tougher. Sometimes my character isn't doing much, or there's not much going on around him/her, so that makes it tougher. Other times, I don't have too much trouble.

Really good posts come pretty easily to me if I like the rpg reasonably well. The length of my posts is directly dependent on how much I'm enjoying the rpg. Ideas are another matter altogether I get story ideas quite regularly, but a story is often hard to convert into an rpg. I've started exactly two rpgs in Sharky's End since I joined A-U: Phantom Grey and the Mary-Sue one a while back (go British accents!). They both took a LOT of thought and tweaking, and they've both turned out respectably well. If I start an rpg, it has to be a good one.

Both come relatively easily to me. The length of my posts isn't necessarily dependent on how much I'm enjoying the rpg, just how much I drive myself to post. Sometimes on my favorite rpgs I tend to relax, so my posts are actually shorter. Plot ideas are like dominoes for me - one idea triggers the next, as currently demonstrated in Star Crystal. I usually feel like I have to have SOME plot input - be it a useful action post or just making more enemies rush in - or I shall go mad.

RPing.. I'm here.

I haven't thought of any RP ideas.. but I do have a few stories in my head. The problem I have with converting my stories into RP's is that I do not have "complete" control over them.

Wow, it seems no one's been posting lately. I'll take a gamble and hope this stimulates things a bit.

RPG Post of the Month
Enter an opening post for for an existent or nonexistent rpg. No out of character elaborations on plot or setting. No character bios. Must be completely in character. In your post, try to introduce both a character and the enticing beginnings of a plot. Think of it as a prologue.

Deadline - April 27.


Yes, I know. This one's a bit harder than the rest. Should be rewarding if you try it though.
