The Lorax Posted May 10, 2013 Share Posted May 10, 2013 (edited) Allright, I went back to that interview I mentioned and made a transcript of the relevant part. Here it is if you want the man's exact words. Black Six: Could you give us a glimpse of what you have planned for the next year of the BZPRPG? Nuju Metru: This year (the 2012 story of the BZPRPG) has really been all about the power of Makuta.(explain for non-RPGers that the current arc is set on Mata Nui, 2001 style… blah blah blah.)So, this year has been all about Makuta’s power and players trying to overthrow it or trying to defend it. Next year is different in a very fundamental way, because rather than being about the power of an overlord on the island. The game is about – is going to be about – player versus player, fighting for power, which is something that I don’t think has been done, to the same extent that I’m planning to do in 2013, before, in the RPG, although I could of course be entirely wrong. Next year, you will see the ordinary players take on much more important roles in the story and shape the story in a really interesting way, and I think it will be a lot of fun. There’ll be a lot of team mentalities, which I’m excited about (although I hope all of you remember to play fairly, even in the heat of competition). And there will of couse, also be the introduction of new elements into the world of the game. I mean, we are staying on Mata Nui as I’ve said before, but, as was hinted at in the teaser image that you referenced with the submersible (I will admit that it’s a submersible – it looks like one, it is a submersible), there is something new coming to the island of Mata Nui, and that something new will, eventually, be open to played by players, which I’m excited about, allthough that’s going to be somewhat delayed from the beginning of the year, considering it takes a lot of figuring out. So, that is, we get the team mentalities, you got the introduction of some new elements, and a lot more player power. And, the technology level on the island will be higher than it was this past year, which means that special tech items for toa and Matoran will no longer be out of the question (and there will be more explaining that, obviously, when next year starts). So, those are some things I think most of you probably haven’t heard yet, and I hope it excites you even more about next year. Black Six: Awesome. Just a couple of points to make: When he talks about introducing new elements in to the game, he makes it sound much more like elements in the sense of story components rather than elements like fire, air, psionics, etc. The tech is there, as I mentioned, but I think the most important part here is that: Whatever in in the submersible will eventually become playable. This makes me think that it isn't just the six Piraka. If it was, then that would only be six characters for six players - not exactly what Nuju is talking about here. They might be included in this new group of beings coming to Mata nui, but I don't think they would be all of it. Maybe TDC isn't too far from the mark with his DHs theory.

Shadowhawk Posted May 10, 2013 Share Posted May 10, 2013 Well... maybe my Piraka guess wasn't so far-fetched after all. Anyways, I've been putting together a few character profiles in preparation for the BZPRPG's upcoming season, and thought I'd inquire as to whether the RPG in question has an 'unofficial standard profile layout design' or something. From what I can gather, it seems to be pretty open-ended? Oh, and while I'm posting, I'd just like to drop a quick thank-you to those who took the time to welcome me.

Elrond of Rivendell Posted May 10, 2013 Share Posted May 10, 2013 (edited) It is pretty open-ended, as you say, but there is (or used to be) a recommended skeleton that you can copy and paste as a template.

Actually, I don't think anyone has spotted that yet - good job. It's another interesting twist, and raises a few questions. For example, is it the alternate model just beacause this is an alternate timeline to the main universe and things won't turn out exactly the same, or is there some other reason to use the non-canon but still official model? I'll have to put some thought into this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So much catching up to do. So this is what being a noob feels like. I'd forgotten. A couple questions: How does everybody react to the presence of matoran types outside of the basic six? Are they just chill about them? Or are they still considered rare? Can I make a character that's already a member of an established group (like the Ta-koro Guard or the Ga-koro Marines)?
