RPG Idea (need suggestions) [Archive]

I had this idea of a new rpg to run in tangent with the current one. I didn't see any rule saying there can't be more then one Buffy Rpg. I can't see why there can't be if they are housed in different thread with different storylines. Meaning: It would be about a completely different story, not as many characters would be available, and different people could play different characters. (or the same characters if they wanted) It would be an (AU) Buffy story in which the RPG would start at some point within the Buffy seasons , unlike the current rpg which follows more of the what happened after season 7/ season 8 comic book feel to it. The story would begin post Hells Bells in season 6, or Near the Beginning of Season 7 episode 1-3. Somewhere in there, maybe a little further along. If the story starts right after Hells Bells there are a few good/bad things. One Willow wouldn't have went dark yet, Warren and gang would still be terrorizing people, and we would eventually either have to make what happened in the show happen in the rpg or come up with something else. The only good thing about starting here would be the includence of another character (Tara). Now if we start after where Season 7 starts then we can't have Tara, but we won't have to deal with Willow going dark, or Warren. We would be able to come up with new and interesting stories, following Buffy the newly made counselor, Dawn who is going to highschool, Willow who is trying to control herself with the magics, Anya who is either still a demon or not (depending on if it's after Selfless or before) Xander still construction guy with Both Eyes!!, Spike with his newly acquired soul a tiny bit crazy but recovering (ie: no killing spree), Giles could come in, aswell as Robin wood and Andrew, If alot of people want to join. There would be NO FIRST! NO 2000 Slayers, NO Season 7 after when we start the RPG, everything we do will be new and (AU) meaning it won't be as if we are following the story, we would be creating our own and getting into the scooby feel that was Buffy!!! We wouldn't follow any of the canon that occurred about the first/slayers in season 7 it would be as if it would never happen.

Characters:
Buffy
Willow
Xander
Anya
Dawn
Spike
Giles (If there is alot of interest)
Andrew(If there is alot of interest)
Robin(If there is alot of interest)
Tara (If just Post Hell's Bells)

If the only reasons for a 'NO' for the rpg is because it would be too confusing or there wouldn't be enough people, I think that if someone can't take the time to read which rpg is which then.... 'they should get confused' Plus a Buffy scooby type feeling Rpg would be fun too. Plus, why would there be a rule against creating more fun and developed stories that everyone can enjoy. So I posted this hoping for a good response ^.^ because I can't see any reason there can't be other then that it's never been done. But since when is that a reason ^_^ (lol I'm talking as if you're all going to throw tomatoes at me, okay!! hopefully you'll like the idea of 2 rpgs!)

So what I was hoping is that everyone can chip in ideas to what I've suggested that would make the rpg workable and playable. All helpful, and positive suggestions are welcomed. Really want to sort through what time frame should/could be used around the seaons 6/7. Thanks!

no, no rules about more than 1 RPG running at anyone time, but there is a rule about Admins/Mods being the ones to create RPG's on the boards.

you need to talk to Bufy Summers or Black Eye Guy...but my feeling is that this won't be given a green light. sorry.

You know I'm in! Will this rpg be run by you of it's given the greenlight?

EDIT

guess Lyri anwered my question

i repeat...only Mods/Admins can run RPG's on Buffy-Boards.

I think there also needs to be enough interest to keep one RPG going before we add another. Trying to get a Firefly one going concurrent with the last Buffy RPG was a disaster.

I don't want to run it, just help get the basic idea down, then one of them can take charge But if they don't want to take charge and I can't run it cause I'm not a mod/Admin then :cry:

So what did you think about the premise of it? Where would it be ideal to start at?

I'm not involved in any RPG activities but I highly doubt this is gonna happen. I'm sure Black Eye Guy has his hands full enough with the current RPG. There's really no need to start a new one anyway because everybody can join the RPG if they wanted.

You do get the reason for a new RPG? ....does it escape you ^_^

A new one would be DIFFERENT. It would be set back when the characters were on screen. There would be new characters available, and it would be more like what we've seen on the show. If BEG has his hands full someone else could always run it. There are alot of mods on the forum.

No, the reason does not escape me. I completely understand. There is no real reason to have a seond Buffy RPG when we already have one that deals with the whole Buffyverse I.E BtVS and AtS. And like Buffy Summers said, before going around suggesting ideas for a new RPG, there should be enough interest in the current RPG. Starting a new Buffy RPG would just take away from the one they already have.

There is alot of interest in the current Rpg... There's Willow, Xander, Faith, Gunn, Dawn, Amy, Gwen, Spike, Illyria more people who want to be in it who haven't been cast... There is a good deal of interest in it ^_^
I don't want to take away form the other rpg and it wouldn't. The people who are in the current rpg don't need to join the other rpg, nor play the same people. It would be a new story with new characters who are different from the ones in the current rpg. Things/ the situations at the current time would come into play and make the characters react differently and choose different paths. Taking away from the current one though?
This is what I didn't want to happen ^_^ I only wanted suggestions and ideas on how to make this idea work and be playable. Not a debate on the reasons it can't work. Because each and every reason can be overcome. What I was looking for was a time to start and a way to begin.

A new RPG will not be considered until there is enough interest to sustain two RPGs.

I'd agree with what VG just said, people weren’t interested in the Firefly RPG (And we have LOTS of Firefly fans on here, so it wasn't lack of fans) Running two stories based on Buffy could get tricky. And the reason I was running the RPG was cuz others didn't have time, so be careful about offering others time.

Saying that I'm not gonna shut down the idea, if people are interested?

Personally I don't like the idea of AU storylines, I don't really see the point in them when we know what happened. Also as the RPG is pretty active there's allot of reading to do, if you add more to that people could get easily confused.

And you can't just come up with a way to start it's not that easy.

If the only reasons for a 'NO' for the rpg is because it would be too confusing or there wouldn't be enough people, I think that if someone can't take the time to read which rpg is which then.... 'they should get confused' Plus a Buffy scooby type feeling Rpg would be fun too. Plus, why would there be a rule against creating more fun and developed stories that everyone can enjoy.

But since when is that a reason ^_^ (lol I'm talking as if you're all going to throw tomatoes at me, okay!! hopefully you'll like the idea of 2 rpgs!)

You said the rpg is very active, so there is some interest isn't there?
Alright, I can see no one who is in power is interested ^_^ I guess it's a quashed idea. I am sorry I posted this lol. I got to go right now, so I can't ask for people to help further the idea, I'll be on later, maybe It'll capture the hearts and minds of some people and they'll support it :lmao:. Bye ^_^

Yes I read what you wrote, but just because you say people shouldn't get confused, doesn't mean they wouldn't, and I mean little things, it would be hard to keep track of little things, people make small mistakes in the other RPG.

Yes people are active in the other RPG but we haven't had much interest in starting a new one.

Again I also said that I wouldn't squash the idea, if people are interested, I would be happy to help. And then I said that I didn't much like the idea of AU storylines, so I was trying to help...

I'm in no way in power but honestly We've tried having two RPG's running and it just didn't work... No one had time for both... one or the other was always getting left for days

Its not that your Idea for an RPG isn't good or isn't well thought its just something that probley wouldn't work right now for one and for two they are right it gets confusing with two RPG's based on the same thing pretty much

These Mods and Admins are great about listening to Idea's when they say no its not because they want to be mean about something i'm sure they love the fact that people want to bring more life into the forums but arguing with someone and telling them they dont read your point isn't going to get you anywhere but your idea lost completely

Its like a parent if you whine about wanting a toy in a store 9 times outta ten your parent is gonna drag you outta the store kicking and screaming and you wont get that toy you wanted so badly....

BEG is the only one running these RPG's and he's doing a darn good job of it maybe if people stay interested in this rpg for more then the usual 2 months if that they'll consider doing a nother one they normally concider it anyways but to start one up now would just be no offense pointless the one going now is perfectly fine and well entertaining

I just realized my post probley didn't help i'm not good with words sorry :( you can delete it if you want lol *goes to corner and reads Xanders copy of "Speaking firmly and with great wordy thingys" *

just here to put in my two cents; just as a disclaimer, i dont mean to offend anyone :).

i agree that running two RPGs at the same time would be complicated. in only the time ive been here, ive seen the current RPG go through many lulls, just showing how much more complicated adding a second one would make it.

HOWEVER, were the opportunity/time ever to present itself, i do support GATEGOD's idea. i like AU because it gives the readers/writers a chance to see other ways the show couldve happened, as obviously, "alternate universe" kind of states :D. while some might be bored with it, i believe that many would also probably be interested in playing out these new scenarios. after all, with the season 8 comic out now and all, cant we also be considered an AU :p? also, and probably more importantly, as GATEGOD pointed out, it gives players/writers a chance to play characters which are dead or no longer there. it could also change the environment, such as putting it in the high school years. in addition, it would also change the characters, giving wirters a chance to write for the same characters, but in a new way. for instance, willow pre-being a witch, meeting tara, and watching her die was still willow, but was also different. for those who prefer lighter years, it could be set earlier, and then the plotlines would be a stark contrast from the darker plots, and the ansara plotline (as another slayer wouldnt exist to be turned vamp...unless it was buffy, kenda, or faith of course). or, for those who prefer the darker years, it could be set later in the seasons, and still be different. the couples would be different, there wouldnt be other slayers, etc (GATEGOD makes many points in the original post about how the later seasons might be different).

basically, what all this rambling is trying to say is, no new RPG now, but if and when there can be another, im totally on board with this idea :thumbsup:.

Alright, I can see no one who is in power is interested ^_^

If we weren't interested, we would have just ignored your post.

I don't have any problem with starting a second RPG. Once the one that we have just re-started shows that it can sustain itself with a second one going. I've started more than one RPG at once and it just doesn't work. You need a core group of players to keep one going, which is hard to do, and with two going it's more than double the difficulty.

There wasn't really a need to "make it work" because there wasn't a problem with the idea of it and the only thing that needed working out was for there to be enough interest for two.

The other thing is that with the Firefly RPG, there were a lot of people who said they were interested in it, but when we went to cast it we had I think only 2 responses. It's easy at the beginning of a RPG to say there's interest, and when people have a lot of time on their hands it's easy for them to play in more than one, but once real life happens and they can't be online as much, RPGs suffer.

Also, I think it would be better if we were going to start a new one to start it a bit later anyway, so that new people have an opportunity to get in at the beginning of the RPG rather than having to always jump in in the middle, which can be difficult for some.

As for the idea, though, I think if you're going to run AU at the same time we have a more traditional one running, it should be more extreme. Just picking a time period and working from that point is kind of traditional in and of itself. It would be better to have one that's kind of normal for people who like that, and then one that's really out there and outlandish for those who like to play that way. I remember being in a Charmed RPG where we got turned into chickens at one point lol. I think the idea we had in the hopper for a second RPG when we set up the one before this one was to make all the good characters the bad guys and vice versa, for example.

But still, every rpg is going to be au unless we do the exact same stories the show did and if we did that would suck. That is why I called it au. I just wanted to have it start somewhere in the middle of season 6 or near the beginning of season 7. That way either we would just have to deal with the big bad at that time warren for a mission or two and then we could create our own and not even think about a first. Which will let us act like the regular scoobies in the town of Sunnydale. If we put it any closer in then it wouldn't be as flexible as just erasing part of the last season and going from there which would allow us to really get into it and not think but in this episode he did and she did... instead it would be new, people wouldn't be "nooo!!" when you do something because we'll be rewriting the last season for a the missions then eventually moving on, but since there will never be a first evil or the slayers gaining the slayer power all over the world, we can do scooby type missions every mission instead of grand apocalytic battles every second, playing it more for the character interaction than anything else. < (or something)

Alright, cool. Once there is enough interest there could be a second rpg, gotcha. Now the trick is to find people who love Buffy and rpging ^_^ In a month or two the rpg will be no longer new and a newer one could start with eager and willing participants. It would need 5 or 6 more people other then myself to really want to move forward with it. I think in a month or two this can happen. Just need to be patient ('my one fatal, scratch that, my one of many tiny flaws ^_^') haha But I can wait however long it takes for 5 or 6 people to grab onto the idea. Thanks for clearing things up

Alternate Universe means it's outside the rules of the normal universe. Playing in a different time period is not Alternate Universe. Coming up with your own storylines is not Alternate Universe. A world where Willow is a Slayer and Buffy is a witch is Alternate Universe.

In my experience with the current RPG people arn't as intrested in playing the character interaction bits, it's actually where the RPG goes into a lul, people much perfer the action bits? Maybe Im wrong there, but it's definetly the case, in any RPG I've seen.
You yourself had Faith try and hurry up the meeting we just had in the RPG to get on with your storyline?

I have no problem comeing back to this in a month or two, let's just establish our feet with the current one, and I would be more then willing to help run the new RPG.

I think it's a good idea. I mean, characters like Tara and Anya would be fun to play, as would a Sunnydale based story rather than an all-over-the-world story. Don't get me wrong; I am having a blast in the current RPG. I just think some time in Sunnydale and the chance to play another character (*cough* Giles or *cough* Anya) would be fun, too.

That said, I really don't think right now is the right time to start a new RPG. I don't think anyone would have much time to play until the holidays are over. Our current RPG is slow right now because we're all either out of town or, like me, entertaining guests from out of town. A new RPG would be bound to suffer the same fate. I think holding off on another one until this one at least picks up again is a really good idea.

I also agree with BEG about the character interaction vs. action thing. I like the character interaction. In fact, I like it a lot. I am currently very much enjoying Xander's internal tension regarding Anya and the way that is making him overcompensate so that he doesn't have to think about it and then the way that makes the other characters react to Xander. I really like the strange tension that's going on with Faith right now. I also really like the sexual tension that's going on with Dawn. It will be interesting to see how that plays out when Connor comes back on the scene. It will be interesting to see how this mission goes with "too many cooks in the kitchen" so to speak. I see Xander and Faith and Spike all butting heads over leadership roles. Heck, if something were to happen with Dawn, it would be interesting to see Buffy's reaction when she gets back on the scene. I really love the character stuff. Unfortunately, in order to be done well, the character stuff has to develop slowly. If it weren't for the action bits, that slow character building stuff could get boring.

Obviously, the character interaction and the action go hand in hand. An RPG that was all character stuff wouldn't be as much fun. Likewise, an RPG that was all action wouldn't be as fun. Still, the action is more appealing in the short term. The *most* fun I've had so far was fighting the smoke demons. I loved the Anya demon. I loved the Witchfinder General moment. Oooh -- and even though I felt bad about interrupting Gunn's big fight with Harmony, the hair grabbing was hilarious (for me, anyway). Before the smoke demons, I liked the training fight with Dawn. So, yeah... the action bits are definitely high on my list of scenes that were fun to write. I would worry that an RPG that was slanted too far in the other direction (more character stuff than action) would be too slow. Some slant that way is fine; I mean, season 6 is my favorite. But I wouldn't want it to stray too far from a decent equilibrium.

Just my two cents. I guess what I'm saying is that I'd be in and super-excited about it... but only after the holidays and only if we got to fight some monsters and big bads.

I had my friend sign up, i didn't know she wanted to join the rpg until she posted it, so i told her about this one. She tried to sign up for the first one that's why i pointed her here, i didn't think it would upset anyone. I'm sorry.

GATEGOD agrees: "we"? you said "Well it's not up to me, there will be no point to keep asking me, it's all about when others are interested." So I’m waiting for others to be interested, that's all.

Yes, there is more then just yourself who have posted in this thread, even the people interested have said that it wouldn't be a good idea for it to happen now.

So we came to the conclusion that it could work if people were interested, and it couldn't happen now, so we could looking into it in a while, and that’s when we need people interested, not now.

Alright, it's just that more and more people seem to want to rp. That's a great thing cause in a month when you look back at this it can be used as a second rpg. Hopefully the time frame around the beginning of season 7 will be used as it's the heart of the matter. When the current rpg gets on it's feet next month we can find a way to incorporate this one. I just hope that not too many people want to join in because there would only be 6-10 characters available. Plus Anya the reason I wanted to play in two rpg's :lmao:. Anyways, I agree somewhat that at this very second in the current rpg it might be too much work getting another off it's feet so in a few weeks or months, I'll come back to this.

If we were going to do a RPG set earlier, beginning of S7 is too close to end of S7. We'd probably pick something more like right after Faith's arrival. Though actually, the next RPG will probably be an untraditional one anyway.

Actually its whatever the mods decide to go with really.... i like untraditional myself it makes it more exciting Honestly i think the mods have done quite a great job on comming up with every rpg on these boards...it takes alot to think of a plot and a really good big bad but they've done wonders so far....besides usually with the untraditional kind theres more characters to play so people dont get left out to have only like 6-10 characters is ok but theres alot of people out there...

They didn't say there wasn't going to be any interest..... Its just for those of us who have been on this board for a long time and have seen and been part of pretty much every rpg... It always happens about 2 months into it everyone gets bored and looses interest in the game... they just want to make sure that everyone is actually going to take part for more then a few weeks before they put all their energy into making a new one and trying to get people to play in that as well. Not everyone has time for rpg's lives get stressful and they get put on a back burner

Yea, so the people who don't have time shouldn't take part in them until they feel they will have enough free time. This would allow for there to be only 10 characters. There isn't too much interest in the rpg's but there is interest. So that's why I still feel season 6/7 is the best place to place the rpg. It doesn't matter if it's too close to the end of the show.. because we will be going a different way, we aren't blowing up sunnydale, there will be no first, no 2000 slayers, so it shouldn't matter if it takes place at the beginning of season 7. ::tongue:: Because the whole feel is going to be the scooby feel, not the season 8 feel of the current one so they will be completely different. The time frame will work, if people let it. I believe atleast.

GATEGOD I like you, I really do but you might want to think about backing off a little bit. You have been asked to wait and see what happens, your idea hasn't been shot down but by pushing this on people your not helping yourself. You have been told by Buffy Summers and BEG that New Horizon's has to prove itself before another RPG can even be thought about. You don't have to like that but you do have to respect what they are saying, like me you are new to the boards, these people have been doing this years. Also, you and me have NO say in what the next RPG will be about, all you can do is make suggestions. Demanding that the next PRG be set in season 7 will get you nowhere.A little gratitude and humility would go along way.

Well first of all please stop reposting the same things over and over...you're just rewording them, I think. And I'm curious as to why you're saying there is "no interest" in one post but then coming back to say, "There's enough interest, I think."

Another thing, pleae do not attack a pregnant lady's (AB's) opinions. Wait till at least two weeks after the baby's birth.

I think you should just get over the fact that you have to wait. Sure, mesh out your ideas on your own time. Don't spam these boards with the same thing over and over, because every other post is "Season 6 or 7" and "6 to 10 characters." We all got a little tired of that six to ten posts ago.

Yes, you want to help out the boards and give us a little something to do. But the Boards are solid in the fun department -- it's a Buffy board for God's sake. So please, stop having kiniptions about having to wait because you simply have to. The current RPG still has a lotta life and I think it'll be a while before it's over. In the meantime you can come up with real ideas and situations and characters to use.

Thank you for your time.

No we wouldn't we would go with one around the end of season 6 / beginning of season 7.

Ok, holding myself back here, as that was extremely rude.

GG you can suggest ideas till the moo cows come home, but you have absolutely no say or control over a RPG. We have heard your request to have another RPG based on season 6/7, and we will take that into consideration. But we will not make a new RPG just because you want to be Anya If we feel the new RPG would work better back in season 3 then that is when it will be set!

You do not get to tell Buffy Summers that we will be setting the RPG when you want it, for one thing it is a ridiculous thing to say as you have no say, if that’s when she wants to set the RPG. If others want to go with a story back in season 3, or a completely AU story where Buffy is a Monkey slayer, we will go on that, it all depends on what will spark the most amount of interest.

It really does seem that you have this desire to be Anya, from a period around season 6/7 and have decided that that this is what everyone else would want to play, you have to take into account that maybe it's not what everyone wants!

Now we have heard your request to have another RPG, we have said not yet. We have told you we would come back to it, when we do you have to realise that we are not immediately going to with your idea we are going to look into what will suit the most amount of people, so I just want to clarify that if we decide to have a new RPG it may not be one based on season 6/7, I just want to point this out now, as I don't want you coming back to me saying I promised your idea would get used.
