Forum-game-story-RPG thingy

[Divisor XII]

Seeing how much fun I'm having with making up story background for Mafia game, I was thinking I should try something else.

The whole thing would be similar to the Mafia game, but a little different anyway. It would work as a story that I'd be inventing, but it would be about you and your actions - meaning completely interactive.
Think of it as a story you can influence with your actions - not unlike the dialogue choices in games like Mass Effect and such.
For example I'd start writing the story (let's say, Axer, LG and Wiza are stuck in a forest) and then you could choose what you'd like to do next (Axer, LG and Wiza talk to each other and decide they should get out of the forest). Sometimes the choices would be designed so the whole group has to make them (Axer, LG and Wiza meet some bandits and choose between fighing them or reasoning with them) or ones only a specific number of players have to decide (LG is offered to join the bandits and has to decide whether to betray others or to stay with them).

The setting is yet for me to decide on, I'll post here some thoughts so you can comment on.

Just tell me if you are interested and if you'd participate if I make something like this.

So it's going to be similar to one of those books that say; "Turn to page 45 if you will enter the cave, or turn to page 67 if you reject."
I wouldn't mind participating in this.

[CrawHawk IV]

I woudn't mind either

[Ksarme]

Might be fun, waiting to see more details.

I like it

[HBK]

Should try new stuffs. Nice, it's worthy of a try ofc.

[ACE KyoUno]

It's dangerous to go alone. Take me.

[Basikninja]

The idea itself seems quite nice

[T.O.R.N.A.D.O]

Worth a try!

[Remilia Scarlet]

Everyone likes it!

Yes, kind of.

Okay, seeing all of your positive reactions, I'll start working on it.

I'd rather enjoy reading this story than participating in it's creation.

LG is offered to join the bandits and has to decide whether to betray others or to stay with them.

I have to make tough decision.

If they offer me money to join them then I'm in.

[Crimson]

Aye, count me in:D This sounds really cool!

[Divisor XII]

Ok, give me some suggestion for the setting...like war themed, fantasy themed, apocalypse/postapocalypse themed,...

When I gather enough options, I'll put up a poll.

[Thel_JF]

i like postapocalypse a la fallout 3

[Divisor XII]

Then again, I'll put up the poll right now.

[Divisor XII]

Oh come on, not goddamn fantasy

Add them to mafia. I played different themed mafias in other forum and irl, here some I remember

supernatural mafia= vampires plague the town
western = indians plague the town
future = last human shelter is plagued by homicidal androids
bacteria = white blood cells vs deadly bacteria (also a virus and parasite roles)
ww2 = peaceful german town is plagued by allied forces
etc etc

different themes+ roleplay makes the game about million times better.

[Divisor XII]

Whoa, nice ideas.

I guess I'll to a themed Mafia, but I'll still make a story based RPG to try something a little different.

[Miatsu]

Hate to say it, really do, but the Post-Apocalyptic theme seems nice.

[Divisor XII]

I'll leave the poll up for a day, and then whatever gets the most votes will be the main setting, and the other stuff will be included more or less.

[Snow]

and one more tip, also you create a character, but he is demi-god, who interracts with other charaters, but he is more like a writer or a prophet

Post-Apocalypse

[Satamino]

Great idea!!!
Btw add one more to post-apocalypse (didn't see that one while voting).

[Thel_JF]
