My RPG Idea Thread

So I am gonna make my rpg again. The one I keep quitting on...mainly cause I made it over complicated.

So going to remake No Idea What I Shall Name it. But I plan in making it a your decisions change the future type. No idea if I should keep elements ya can tell me yes or no. 

So questions after the chapters.

Chapter 1: A Hero is Born
Chapter 2: The Great War
Chapter 3: Traditions or Progress
Chapters 4: The Spire
Chapter 5: -Unkown

So questions please vote

  1. Elements? Yes or nah

  2. Create a quest for immortality (can still die) or new hero by each era (chapter)?

  3. Morality rep? Evil, Neutral, Good 

  4. Fame and reputation per city or all world?

  5. Weapons will change by era. Your character have its own or be also with world weapons?

  6. More than 1 character at a time? 

  7. Levels?

  8. By rep or quests you obtain Tittles? Or custom and by fame all know you?

Please reply to this if wish to join in \o/

Grrr I thought there woulda been a reply by now

I came up with new chapter names.

Chapter 1: A Hero is Born
Chapter 2: The Great War
Chapter 3: Age of Knowdledge/Grand Depression
Chapter 4: The Cursed Child
Chapter 5: The Spire
Chapter 6: A New World/Unknown/The Time Lord
Chapter 7: The 1st Creation
Chapter 8: Divene Madness
Chapter 9: Armagedon/Here We Go Again
Chapter 10: Bad/Good Epilogue per character(s)

So questions please vote

  1. Elements? Yes or nah

It's up to you! Personally I think it'd be interesting to imagine a character who's had a particular affinity all their life, plus they make great frameworks for beginner writers, as I discovered way back in the day. That said, it could also complicate the magic system significantly. ^^

  1. Create a quest for immortality (can still die) or new hero by each era (chapter)?

I don't think our heroes should die, period. That'd be no fun, especially in what's supposed to be a fun, lighthearted roleplay to pass the time. >.<

  1. Morality rep? Evil, Neutral, Good

Now this, I don't think should stay. "Evil", "Neutral", and "Good" are all subjective terms, and the nature of one's character ought to be revealed through actions and backstory, rather than words.

  1. Fame and reputation per city or all world?

Why not both? One could be known as a saint in their backyard, but essentially unknown elsewhere. Perhaps doing certain quests for certain characters could increase Realmwide Renown? c:

  1. Weapons will change by era. Your character have its own or be also with world weapons?

Weapons should be kept temporally consistent, but aesthetically different IMO. For example there were hundreds of different types of shields, swords, and spears in real life, but their names, appearances, and most importantly the techniques of using them were all different. For convenience's sake, I'd leave those aspects to the players to decide. ^_^

That said, if you're really dead-set on there being multiple characters spanning multiple eras, I think it'd be interesting to see how armor and weapons develop in a fantasy setting. It's up to you!

  1. More than 1 character at a time?

It's up the the player! Though it's certainly not for the faint of heart.

  1. Levels?

Levels are just a game mechanic meant to keep people coming back. It's your choice whether you'd like to implement them. c:

  1. By rep or quests you obtain Tittles? Or custom and by fame all know you?

I read that as "Titties". Also I don't think I understand this question. >.<

But each chapter is centuries or years later....so hence asked that

Also was meant to be Title like how one will be known in the land

Oh okay, different characters for each era. Just as long as they don't pass to quickly, I'd be down with that. :3

Also! It depends on the part of the land, naw? Just like real life, some places are hereditary monarchies, some are republics, democracies, chiefdoms; et cetera. I'd reckon how an outsider comes to power would depend heavily on that.

I am making a thread about territories. Like a bio so main game thread can just start after character sheets

I know the feel, babe; it ain't fun. But for what it's worth, I'd love it if you ever wanted to pick this up again. c:

I have a new idea but its more modern. A game but militarist

Some Fractions I made

Scarlet Kingdom: Military Strengh: High. Economy: High
Communist: Military Strengh: High. Economy: Normal
The Fourth Reich: Military Power: High. Economy: Normal
Alt-Right: Military: High. Economy: Low
Alt-Left: Military: None. Economy: Collapsing
Republic: Military: Low. Economy: Normal
Democracy: Military: Noral. Economy: High
Templars: Military: High. Economy: None

World would be devided into sections. No magic. Military would be presented in bars. 2 for eaach level. Economy too. To increase Military strengh would be by using economy ofc being attacked would make you lose economy first

Though requires me working with photoshop >.>

OOC: Just to caution you that Gensokyo is still a territory of Lucia under a peace treaty; if this event starts, it automatically violates the treaty and I have to cancel my provincial election over another pointless conflict. Here's two excerpts from my Constitution for you to read first. Also, I'll be super busy for the entire month of May in regards to the elections, so I can't do two things at once.

>Section 9.2 under the Imperial Constitution states that no territory within Lucia can attack one another, nor any outside nation have the authority bypassing the treaty solely for personal, military, or economical gain. The only exception is if two or more nations have strained their relations to the limit must make a termination request of their right to follow the 12-section pamphlet with the Emperor/Empress.

>Section 9.4 explicitly forbids any Lucian anywhere in Lucia from openly exercising militaristic action against any international or domestic body unless the subject in question has repeatedly violated code of conduct regulations within the Constitution's terms, in which it must be approved by the Emperor/Empress and a two-thirds majority from Parliament.
