That's deffinately... Different, Trenyth... Is it just to see if anyone can play each other's characters as well as their original owner?You think i'm some kinda FREAK!? (:
Kind of like a body switching thing or just complete control? I share the same concern as Sledge though. It sounds like a good idea if we could do it well enough...Complete control, with correction as necessary.
i'd try it, i can throw in one of the four cripples, see if anyone can utilize them correctlyNot sure i am familiar with them.

Not related to this RP, but i got a challenge for you guys: Make a character as you listen to a song, letting the music and lyrics shape them. Ive gotten some great results before. I've been using 90s grunge music.

Not to guilt you but this feels like an RPer's sophie's choice. And I mean that in the best way possible...
Thank you all for NOT voting, i really appreciate it! Now, since you guys obviously don't give a carp about which ones will be going on hold, i'm going to do you all a favor by being a total jerk and putting them ALL on hold. Not like it will change anything, as all three have been moving like molasses for that past few... i lost count now, and that's just sad, this place used to be so lively and exiting, and now it's like watching paint dry, but you actually expect it to do something, just to be disappointed. So, while you guys all sit around and hope for something to happen, i will take great pleasure in doing schoolwork, and hopefully i'll finish my preparations for my RPs, but knowing me i'll probably just procrastinate and play video games.
Good day.
Disturbance on the Frontier is going to be (Re)started by the end of tomorrow.
A middle ground. Yeah, that makes sense.That is more a matter of personal opinion... We don't want to become a bunch of fascists who only accept 'the pure breed' Maybe i'm overreacting a bit, but i really hate being pigeonholed or being plastered with 'names'
Another nice thing to define might be the types of DMs, and what kind of DM is the best kind.
COME ON!! you know you want classic zombies! :D
@ Sledge; Yeah, that's sorta how i planned it would work.
Here's the tally.
Something apocalyptic: 1
An investigation/crime scene sort of RP: 3
Pit fighting, Season 3: 1
I have an idea for a system so that you don’t have to conform entirely to another person’s actions. When you describe an action that effects another player-character, place multiple cutoff points in the action.
For example:
[Garbles walked over to Zerik. (C1) Zerik was in a very bad mood, as one of his friends was slain in a recent battle. Garbles spoke: “You know, you could always eat him” (C2) “He’s dead, and that meat ‘s goin to waste just putting it under the dirt” (C3) “You know, where I come from, people eat us all the time! I see no problem with just takin a bite out of a guy when he walks past, ya know?” (C4) “So anyway, if you not gonna eat it, can I have it, I’m getting hungry.”]
At C1, Zerik could respond to Garble’s walking over to him. At C2, the very thought of eating the dead, let alone one of his friends, could infuriate him, causing him to react. If Zerik reacts at one of these cutoff points, all the dialogue past it would be irrelevant, since it would have never happened. If you had made this response without the ability to cut it off, you would force the other player to play their character in an unrealistic manner. Granted, I know some people already cut others off during things like this, but I want a better system that will reduce the level of these pointless time-wasting arguments we seem to be so fond of. I’m not quite sure how I’m going to get this to work, but I think it’d be worth a try, or we could come up with a better system.
It's a bit complex, i know, but i feel that this is a problem that needs to be addressed; i don't care how we fix it, but it would be nice if we could come up with a solution.
You could try asking in PM. As far as i can tell, nobody really cares much about what get posted here unless they post it themselves.

Now now, let's not jump to conclusions ^-^
I'd be happy to if I managed to get some time together. :)
I've got an idea... how bout we start a short RP where we have to play as eachothers characters? It'd be pretty fun, i think. Anyone interested?Throwing this one out there again, see if anyone is interested.
If i were to do what was essentially a single-player RP, would it go here, Furry Role-Playing, or to Furry Story Telling?
I'd prefer you stay, so many never return from a hiatus...Yeah, i know... like you.
Anyone interested in a adult RP?
Yes, yes... *Strokes the back of a horseshoe crab that's laying on my desk like a cat* This is true, yes...
Sooo... where to begin. Ah, yes, subject of the day... Torment. Well, actually, it's the subject of the week (next week's is torture.)
Yes, yes... torment... so many ways to torment a man's mind... Any thoughts, friend?
I look forward to your replies.*Clears throat loudly.*
QuoteI look forward to your replies.*Clears throat loudly.*
Anyway, what i'm really here for... i need an RP where i'm the main character, and that's my only job; to be a player with a single character. I don't care about that rest, i'll do basically anything, with anyone. I'd prefer some form of cliched grand quest deal, but i'm open to more unique story types.
Well? Anyone?
If that's what you want, lemme see what I have in my digital filing cabinet.
HOLD IT, HOLD IT, HOLD THE PHONE PEOPLE; I HAVE AN ANNOUNCEMENT!!QuoteI look forward to your replies.*Clears throat loudly.*

B. GM's You do not need to accept a lack luster Character sheet just to fill spots. If you set a standard and
Physical appearance:looks a lot like a rabbit, but has some fox features, like the tail, internal organs, teeth, paws <------ this...THIS is so lack luster and believe it or not they copy and pasted the same description for more then one character. This means absolutely nothing. You look like a rabbit with fox features? Ok how tall are you? Coloring? What does tail look like? Fox like as in a fox tail or a rabbit tail colored like a fox's? Internal organs really? REALLY!? Unless you are gonna be killed and then autopsied I really don't believe this matters at all. Color of your eyes? What about any scars or something that might stand out? Piercings, cuffs on ears, rings, jewelry, glasses, or even like I don't know gold teeth cause you lost some and got all rapper. SOMETHING. Paws I dont even need to go there.
I believe my point has been made however some may think I am being mean or picking on just one. Oh no, trust me plenty of people are guilty of this, it was the first one I grabbed and noticed it was copy pasted for three descriptions in SAME RP. So AKA I have three characters for all you know are identical triplets and look the same. One walks down road well who is that one it might be Sal or Venus, or maybe it's Nick. I don't know they are all the same description and being I have never met the person before am unsure. Fan-freaking-tastic and yet they are accepted so no one gets hurt feelings. Which makes me go "No no...you as GM Put effort into your rp. To have a character sheet that isn't even on par with what you put into it, then they have no right to be upset. PUT YOUR PAW/HOOF/TALON/WHATEVER DOWN."
A. TBR: Really this just a cop out to refuse working and it gets approved. Your back story will not be known by Anyone mister or misses Mysterious. Unless you said so and so in this rp knows my character so they would know a bit about my past. No one is gonna look at you and go "OH my that's so and so and their past consists of them being a run away from a carnival of horrors where they got that scar going along their spine." Seriously people work on your back stories

I'm back in the game.A load of bullshark. In fact, i'm just going to say it plain as day: EVERYTHING i say is bullshark. It's just a matter of if i decide to follow through or not. More often not. Look, just don't trust me to do anything, okay? I'm as fish-faced as you'll ever see a guy, and i'm just not worth your time.
I'll be taking part in more RPs for now on, instead of hanging back and plotting.
EDIT: A Disturbance on the Frontier is now a pair of 1 x 1 x 1s that will be taking place in the same world at the same time, but will not be crossing paths. I hope you guys are fine with the storyline being guided, because i did far too much work on it for you to take a 90o turn and ignore it. It will be worth the wait, i assure you.QuoteI'm back in the game.As far is this goes, it's more "i like to think that i am", than i actually am.
I'm thinking about doing an Attack on Titan tribute RP.
Got eh question for all ye role-playin folk. Out of all the RPs you've done, who are your favorite characters. They don't have to be your own ether.
Tren, probably my favorite from you would be Gnarko.I take offense to this. :P
So, as you can all see, Zombie Outbreak has failed to clear the runway... or even start its engines. So, after looking back at all my past failings, i can reenforce the pattern i've picked up: I can't run an RP. The biggest problem has been starting the RP; after that they get at least five pages or so... but that hasn't happened in a long time. Usualy i just give up, even when others think it shows promise. Only once did i complete an RP, and i look down on it with disgust, it was so poorly done.
I have three projects at the moment, all of which are at a standstill. One of them, A Disturbance on the Frontier, will happen eventually. I have a 1 x 1 in the works, that i basically only need an opening post for, and i have something else that's under wraps.
As for Zombie Outbreak... well, it was meant to have a B-movie charm from the beginning, so it has a better chance of starting soon than the others. Expect it sometime in your lifetime, maybe.
For the others, if they get here, they will be good, i assure you. It's just a matter of when they get here.
alright people...need some input. I've currently got three RPs brewing that all seem really good to me. I wanna know what you guys want and it'll determine what I tuck my efforts into most.
without further adu...here are the choices!
Fading Hope: Season 2- The follow-up to my very first RP. This will feature a variety of new systems I've been also new will be a crafting system, No, no ridiculous weapons like a rocket-powered, chainsaw wheelchair but this will allow for more choices of weapons when the zed start closing in. Expect to see a new face or two...as well as some returning players in this Walking Dead-esque experience. New convoy and inventory systems to make scavenging and survivor management all the more tense. Are you ready for the long ride back to New Morsville?
Character swap RP- This one's still in the development stage but I have settled on this playing like classic Resident Evil. An elite team of operatives are sent to investigate an old resort only to find more than they bargained for...Now down to half the team, whatever ammo you have, no phone service...you're on your own. Work together to survive!
Future military RP- Disregard for life, experiments to produce powers, genetic engineering...all the ingredients for a rather intriguing RP following the story of a group of soldiers who turned their powers against their creators. Action with a good dash of drama and stealth. Will rely on character development.
Something just occurred to me... what if we had a couple of communal characters, as in, multiple people are involved in their creation, and they are owned collectively by all parties involved... So basically, any of those players can throw the character into anything they want, and maybe even have multiple people playing the same character in a single RP, though they would obviously have other characters of their own at the same time... A really strange idea, i know, but i thought it would be at least worth throwing out there.
EDIT: To think i expected a response...

...i stopped GMing in part because i don't want to be recognized as the lazy hypocritical good for nothing that i am... ...in fact, one of the biggest reasons i haven't been RPing much lately is the fact that i can't meet my own standards of what a player should be doing...I didn't just burn myself, i shackled my hand to the stove. It can't get this out of my head, and it could have a lot to do with my inability to start an RP.
WHAT!? :o
SUPERNATURAL WESTERN!? :o
THAT'S LIKE SOMETHING A THIRD GRADER WOULD COME UP WITH! >:(
As for your question.... maaaaybe. (:
That's doable. Ghost or something? (Not like i have character(s) that talk to ghosts or anything.)
Also, when this gets going, if it gets going, i will finally be able to introduce... SHERIFF BANG!!! *explosions*
EDIT: So fishing exited for this! I seriously feel like i'm going to explode or something if i don't get this started soon. x_x
If anyone has a campaign they'd be willing to let me join just send me a PM, thanks!
I'd worry less about having huge numbers of RPs or RPers and more about making the ones that we have of high quality.

I couldn't agree more. Quality and duration has been steadily decreasing...

Fading Hope Season 1 re-re-launch
I know Hazard i know, i feel the same way. I just haven't had that many ideas lately and the ones i do have are taking a while to develop.For the love of Solis, MY NAME IS TREN!! :P
So tired of not doing anything. Gotta do something. Time spent idle is time wasted!
Expect me to throw out a new idea here some time in the future. I'm looking at you two, Blades, Wise...
why bother posting about it if you're restricting it to only a certain group
I know, i know, i'm a dreamer. A successful RP, here? Why, that hasn't happened in years! But i can still dream that some day i'll throw something at the wall that sticks. :)why bother posting about it if you're restricting it to only a certain group
Or........why post it if nobody is going to play it. :P
I've made a rather predictable discovery. The RPs on the adult side of the forum are doing just fine, while the main RP board lies dormant. I'd ask what it is that makes these other RPs so much more popular, but i'm just gonna keep my guesses to myself. Besides, i'm not sure i'd be allowed to talk about it here anyways.
In other news, i'm just going to stop fooling myself thinking i can be a GM here, or anywhere. I'm going to stop giving attention to my (very few) current projects and see how long it takes for people to miss me.
PM me if you want to hear my life story. #SARCASM
Really, i think that Kings and Queens (http://forums.furtopia.org/furry-role-playing/kings-and-queens-ic/) is going to be my favorite RP for a long time to come.
