Jean Valjean Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 I've never heard of Umineko, so it really wouldn't bother me. Besides, in my experience originality isn't the hugest issue with RPGs.

Hanako Herupa Posted April 15, 2012 Share Posted April 15, 2012 I was working on a Homestuck RPG, but all my GMs deserted when we came to this new site. It's a fandom and an RP you have to handle carefully, you can't just rush into it. It can't really be a sandbox because in my opinion it would spiral out of control. It can't be completely story-driven because players need to feel that they have some control over the plot, even if it is a small amount.It took me four months with a Co-GM just to get it in shape. I still think it would need quite a bit more work before I even consider it close to done.I'm going to have to rework my RP before I present it.

Jean Valjean Posted April 18, 2012 Share Posted April 18, 2012 I finally got my RPG approved by Than, which is a major cause for yay-ness, although ironically I haven't actually filled out my own character forms. Ah well, I've noticed that Sisen essentially did the same thing with Skylight.Anyway, I keep on trying to send my profile for the Pantheon RPG to ToA, but is profile is apparently full.

Kumata Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 (edited) Would there be any interest in an Avatar RPG? As in The Last Airbender/Legend of Korra.Haven't come up with a draft as I want to see whether it'd generate players first. But my idea is that it'd be set in a city, or several cities, in the United Republic of Nations at the same time as Legend of Korra. Players wouldn't be allowed to play as canon characters or visit Republic City but they could hear about events happening over the wireless if they really wanted to.When it comes to bending, I'd divide each bending style into several categories (for example earthbending into rockbending, metalbending. sandbending). Players would be allowed to start having mastered one of these categories, and if they're good players they can learn (be rewarded with) a new style of bending. Non-benders would also be allowed, and maybe chi-blockers too. Edited April 23, 2012 by Kumata Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kothra Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 I know there was one way back when, but I never played it.I don't think you could have one set around the time of Legend of Korra because not enough information has yet been given about the world in that time.

Kumata Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 (edited) There's loads of info. There's a game on the Nickolodeon website that paints a huge amount of the setting. It's certainly enough for an RPG, in my eyes.If anyone who played in the old Avatar RPG knows if there were any major flaws/problems, that'd be helpful to know too.

Kothra Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 Okay, then that was just me being really really stupid because i don't actually know anything beyond what was shown in the show so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kumata Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 (edited) My main reason for wanting to set the RPG during Korra time is that by that point the various bending styles aren't as exclusive. No-one could metalbend during Last Airbender-era as it hadn't been invented yet, and I'm sure it's a skill some players would want.

Kumata Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 (edited) What about one set between Last Airbender and Korra? During the creation of Republic City perhaps. Can share Last Airbender's mythos with Korra's widespread knowledge of bending/certain pieces of technology (such as airships being used by nations other than Fire).

Alex Humva Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 I'd prefer an intermediate one over one locked in either era; gives a lot more freedom IMO.

Kothra Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 I'm going to say that I'd also prefer an in-between setting. And it does give a ton of freedom for things like factions and whatnot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kumata Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 (edited) In-between it is. Now, Airbending is going to be an issue, in that canonically no-one but Aang, Tenzin and his (possibly non-existent by that time) kids can do it. Think I should tweak the canon ever so slightly to say that Aang taught the principle to some other monks, who, after devoting their remaining years to studying the art, have had children who can airbend? I imagine some players will want to be able to do it.Would you be willing to help in the capacity of a GM, ToA?

Jean Valjean Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 I'm not sure how much you'd want to stick to canon with an idea like Avatar. I'm always weary of RPGs where the main characters from the original canon exist but you can't interact with them.Then again, I essentially have that with Micky in my Disney RPG. But then, I still completely and utterly decided to screw canon.Your Honor,Tyrannosaurus Kraggh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kumata Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 No canon characters in this Avatar RPG; like you said Kraagh, they usually raise a lot of problems. The point of this RPG would be to let people play in the world of Avatar, not play with its characters. If they want to do that they can go write a fanfic.

Blessed Blade Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 Err, I actually don't think that's exactly the same thing, Than.He's referring to the series of games once known as 'Dragon Warrior' here in North America, Enix's big name RPG series. ;)Though, there might be too many similarities between the Dragon Quest and Dragon Age series...

Kumata Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 (edited) One of my personal litmus tests for the quality of a fantasy series is to avoid everything with 'dragon' in its name.
