To keep things on schedule and prevent me from having even more work, the next TBRPG contest will be in December. Winners from the previous contest (from March) can restart their RPGs.

[Despair]

Great! I'd really like to enter this time around, so it's good to know when the contest will be held.

[Captain Marvel]

I'm definitely going to enter this one.

Also, just as a quick question, and since this is currently the only topic I can ask it in, what happened to the NBZPRPG? Are all those old topics going to be copied over somehow, or are we starting fresh again?

[Strong Arm BioBeast]

That's good to know. Hopefully I can win this time.

[snoip lion]

I'm gonna enter again. Hopefully make a less sucky RPG this time around.

The actual topics are here, in this very forum. What you would have to do, to see them, is go to the "Custom" tab at this forum (Bionicle RPG) page (where all topics here are listed) and then, when it says "Time Frame" select "Show all" as right now it only shows what's been posted within the last 30 days.

[tosha96]

Yeah, me too. I'll might try and re-do my entry from last time, or make a new one, I'm not sure.

[Captain Marvel]

Thanks for the clarification.

[Parugi]

Awesomesauce; thanks for the speedy response, Black Six.

Day Run will be back up sometime within the next two days; after the trouble I've been having with formatting to get ROTR back up, I'm a little hesitant to jump on DR. But it will return.

[Toa Onarax]

Random idea, which will probably be denied but I wonder if we could have the BZPRPG from earlier this year as a TBRPG.

[Captain Marvel]

Read the other topic in this forum. You'll quickly find an answer.

[Shyyrn]

Can't wait for December, then!

Extremely glad that this is back, by the way. My BIONICLE-related creative urges have been pent up for too long.

-Shyyrn

[Toa Levacius Zehvor]

December, eh? Cool, that'll be time enough to have fun with my characters in Island of Pain once it gets put back up. And then I, to, will be attempting at getting in a spot in the next contest.

Dudes, here's a bit of info some of you may love, and some of you may hate, depending on your personal opinion and on how much you hate me.

I'm considering entering a sequel of GoMN.

Dovy:

Anyway, I have a Bionicle RPG I ran on another (far less active) forum as a test; I'll be upgrading it to appeal to a large-scale forum such as this.

[Toa of Dancing]

That's nice to know. Gives us more time to have fun in these.

[Legolover-361]

Could a staff member post an RPG Planning Topic? I'd love to get some feedback on my TBRPG from TBRPG veterans.

[Captain Marvel]

It's actually already posted.

[Thanatos]

Is the RPG Planning Topic deemed worthy of pinning by the staff, or no?

[The Captain]

I may or may not enter. Although I'm in college now, I have an extremely abnormal amount of free time. And I've missed you guys.

[Legolover-361]

It's actually already posted.

Really? I can't see it anywhere.

Never mind; I just hadn't changed my topic-viewing settings to allow me to see topics older than thirty days.

[Dinamic Vitalitate]

If my RPG concept is mostly liked by veterans, I'll enter.

[Friar Tuck]

Is the RPG Planning Topic deemed worthy of pinning by the staff, or no?

Eerrrrmm... no. It's not a true "Official Forum" topic, and its more for your convenience and use than anything else. If you're concerned I might be closed due to lack of post don't worry I highly doubt that will happen, and even so with the TBRPG's coming and going every three months so will the activity in that topic, so don't worry I'll make sure it's always there

[The Captain]

Veterans aren't going to be the ones who give you victory in the polls. After the BZP hiatus, the number of veterans who even realize its back is very few, let alone who want to come back.

Focus on writing something you like and feel passionate about before you start caring what others care about, let alone veterans.

Veterans are a picky bunch, don't mind us too much.

[Toa of Dancing]

Yeah, honestly, we stink when it comes to approving newer RPers. XD

[Lloyd: the White Wolf]

Mostly because we haven't seen them in action yet. If you can prove yourself in a few currently running RPGs and/or put up an absolute gem of an RPGC entry, we'll support you. We (or at least I) tend to be very straightforwardly meritocratic.

[The Captain]

It looks like I'll be entering this one.

Edited by The Captain, Oct 19 2011 - 04:16 PM.

[Toa of Dancing]

Aaand everyone else just lost hope of getting first.

[Toa Levacius Zehvor]

Okay, I've only been on here for, what, a year or so? And yet I STILL know that name.

There goes my hope definitely. But I'll submit anyways.

@ ToD; were you gonna submit Beat & Rhythm this contest or a new one?

-Toa Levacius Zehvor

[Toa of Dancing]

I'm going to put it through one more time.

At least. XD

[The Captain]

You guys are too kind.

I will be fully supporting other RPGs and giving help to any that ask for it. I'd love to see some new Gamemasters get some work in.

That said... I'm bringing it.

[Captain Marvel]

I'll enter. I entered once before, and I got to the finals, but my entry got practically nullified by all the good ones. And no, I'm not just saying that, they actually were good.

But yeah, I'll put in my bit. And I'm just wondering if it's too much to add a complete history of your RPG's world, complete with religion and ideology and stuff like that.

[Dinamic Vitalitate]

I've decided that I'll try to enter, and hopefully(NOT:)) win. But I feel my story is incompetent.

I require all my RPG's have full histories, ideologies and faith-groups. Makes for a more interesting, tangible setting.

[Lloyd: the White Wolf]

I will be co-GMing with Captain. This is going to be very interesting.

[EmperorWhenua]

The contest is now closed. The Captain won; everyone else's sucks.

We veterans stand with each other like this.

[Lloyd: the White Wolf]

Loud minority, EW.

[EmperorWhenua]

Exactly. I call it an oligarchical mob rule.

[Shyyrn]

Speaking as one with very fond memories of the Captain's "The Gate," I await his new entry with a great deal of enthusiasm!

-Shyyrn

[EmperorWhenua]

Cap's had The Gate and The Bridge. I wonder if his next project will be known as The Path or The Route. Would make sense.
