It's not just the brutality, it's that organized crime is about drug trafficking, prostitution, racketeering, smuggling, alcohol, gambling... and always has been. No matter how you stretch PG, this isn't really the place.

I dunno, Mafia stuff sounds a bit much for BZP.

It's a nice series that descends into garbage by the halfway point. The EoE film was one giant joke.Hope rebuild fixes the problems.

The plot of Kingdom Hearts became pretty nonsensical by the sequel. Keep it straight Disney, I guess.

There's a difference between knowing what you want to do with your life and what other people want you to do. You need to figure out the difference, don't you?Also, please don't make assumptions, because I actually do have a set plan for the next four years. I'm currently taking a pre-calculus math course at a community college in preparation for majoring in computer science; once I earn an Associate's Degree, I'll transfer to a university, perhaps NJIT; when I earn my Bachelor's, I plan to enter either a video game- or computer programming fields. Meanwhile I'll continue writing, composing music, drawing, graphic designing, and acting and hope that someday I'll get a big break in one of those hobbies.If that doesn't count as having an idea of what I want to do with my life, I don't know what will.One last thing: How am I separating myself from others?P.S. The misunderstanding is happening again. D:1. You have to know yourself to know what to say to others. That's the basic foundation of living.2. I'm sure you have it all figured out, til the moment you get into a class you find that you aren't interested in, or you mess something up, or there's an economic recession that ruins the market, or you accidentally get a girl pregnant, or your interests change between here and graduation. Which is very likely indeed, because teenagers are very fast-changing individuals. Who you are, what you want, and what you will become in your mind can be very different in one year's time. And even if you do stick to your dreams, it might be that you simply don't have the ability required. The gaming industry is very fast-growing, but there is a huge deferral rate from a lot of related university courses, simply because it gets past the level that casual people can take. Having hobbies is fine, but as your workload increases towards your educational climax, you're going to start dropping them in favour of study and preparation. Not to mention socializing will start to matter more to you, and your priorities will change again.3. However, I'm not saying don't plan. It's always a good idea to reach for things to do and make plans for the road ahead. But you should always be aware that what you reach for may be surprisingly prickly or too far out of your reach. Trust me, I know. My mother aimed for art in college, ended up doing journalism and becoming a magazine editor. My first goal was history and biological science back in highschool, now I'm doing anthropology and writing in university. A guy I knew back in high school was polished by his parents into a mathematics and science prodigy for college. He is now a crossdressing waitress at a bar in Brisbane. One of my friends who used to be scouted for Basketball teams? He's a mechanic now. 4. My point is that teenagers in general, which you are one, are at a very turbulent and ever-changing point in their development. You may think you are in a position of solidity, safety, and with a clear plan for the future, however that can all change easily in a heartbeat. You will continue to grow and shift as a person, just like everyone else! So don't assume you know the best for others, when your foundation could be totally upheaved in the blink of an eye.

Duh, set a specific goal for players for each year. Once each goal is complete, timeskip to the next year.

Without a goal to aspire towards (for example, proving adults that we aren't all mindless video game zombies ), today's generation won't get better. The challenge children live to meet is as important a part of growing up as their education and social interactions. Obviously, we don't want children thinking their generation is the dumbest, but we should want them at least being aware of former living standards so they know what they're being judged against.Bro, you're sixteen. You don't even know what you are going to do with your life. Don't try to separate yourself from others, you're all part of the same throng.

If you want dice, why not just do the RPG externally with a client?Heck, set up a D20 system with MapTool, Fantasy Grounds, Vassal, OpenRPG, or GameTable.BZP is for roleplaying, not number-crunching.I'd totes recommend you a great site for this sort of thing, but can't due to BZP's rule so oh well.

Still lightyears ahead of a human!

People have been complaining about the next generation since the stone age. Things always work out, but they also change.

You need an external client to dice-rolls fairly where everyone can see them, like the one they have on some roleplaying forums.So it's a no-go here, really.

These are too squished up and ugly to even resemble Marines, or any 40k characters.

No, it's not okay. People use Christian themes and symbology in videogames all the time.By treating Shinto differently you delegitimize it. That's not respectful.

You have to cut both Tao and Shinto. Both are present-day religions.

Both Shinto and Taoism are still practiced in Japan and China respectively.What do you want to know?

No, you're not quite getting me. I want you to go back to the drawing board and do something more with it. Come up with a different theme and style for this RPG, there's literally nothing there. And if the elements just emerge from people, then it's going to turn into a bunch of mucking about very quickly.What I want is something interesting. This is just uber-generic fantasy with all characters replaced by characters that lack opposable thumbs. It is less than a DnD ripoff.So what you can do is take this RPG, and add something new. Make it steampunk, make it about class warfare, Add something dark and mysterious, create some new locales that require more than a sentence to describe, Put some work into designing unique and interesting weapons equipment for quadrupeds, Develop an expansive Zebra backstory explaining why they are stripey, Have Princess Celestia be a machiavellian leader playing a game of secret war against invaders from across the sea who have come to harvest Unicorn horns, Make a world where the Mane Six never met and instead lead wildly different gangs in the underbelly of Phillydelphia, coming together against the corrupt Police ponies!Anything.Seriously, just do something with the premise that's actually more than just generic fantasy minus thumbs. Okay?

Okay. Kind of confused though. If the Ponies have all the baby dragons, then how does the Dragon faction replendish their numbers? Also what's the point of calling it the Dragon Faction if you can't even play as Dragons? And there's no detail on the adult Dragon leadership either. Not to mention, you have put in information about fighting, but haven't really made it very interesting. Though I guess animals with no hands can't really do much more then ram and kick each other. Sounds a bit horrid really.My biggest problem is that there's only six elements of harmony and only six locations on the map. This thing is going to be over very quickly, or it'll devolve into a stalemate.I would like you to rethink this a bit more.

Huh. Well that's disappointing.Maybe I should do something then.

You could have some sort of standard organized proxy battle system.With giant robots, optionally.EDIT: waitaminuteStarscape failed? I thought you guys had it all sorted out!

Not enough plot, not enough detail. No information how they can even fight (?), no place for dragons to hang out, And no info on magic or abilities or anything.

Nope, glorified chatroom.

B6, just saying but I think you under-estimate your userbase as being more thin-skinned then it actually is.
