Two ideas.

[Fionn Mac Cumhaill]

I've got the basic set up for both of 'em done, I just want to know if anyone would be interested.

One is a modern fantasy roleplay that will hopefully span the globe. At this point, I'm calling it Saxum Fatale. In kind of the... Epilogue (as it were), we're introduced to a very, very young Crimthann Fairradeach, and his father. His father is a thief, and a good one at that. The most recent acquisitions of his are two of the fabled "Treasures of Ireland", the Stone of Fal and the Spear of Lugh. Bad guys break in, Crimthann is hidden away with the stone, and baddies kill/remove his father, taking the Spear with them.

Fast forward some twenty years, and Crimthann is out to get the Four Treasures of Ireland back, with a small gang of thieves.

What I essentially imagine is a group, or multiple groups, going after mythical treasures; and possibly some inter-group combat situations. But, I'm really just kicking this around.

Basically: Role playing an international crime story, set in a modern-fantasy world.

The other one is as of yet, unnamed.

The basic story is (I hate to say it) A bit of a rip off of the matrix. It's a future fantasy, post apocalyptic thing. I've got a fairly long-winded exposition of the plot, but I'll simplify it as much as I can. To fight wars, humanity created machines capable of critically thinking and evaluating combat scenarios. The machines are created in man's likeness. In order to prevent the machines from turning against their creators, they are programmed to enjoy the killing.

But, the Assassins eventually think: if killing gives me pleasure, why just kill my "Enemy?"

Humanity is overrun, so on.

The war is essentially tears the planet apart, and neither side has an edge on the other. To combat the Assassins, the Humans reopen a project that was turned down in favor of the robot killers. The SuperHuman Advanced Destructibility Experiment, or S.H.A.D.E.. Humans in the project are subjected to experiments to increase their physical abilities, as well as latent abilities such as psychokinesis.

Subjects for the experiment are hand picked for their abilities, and their abilities are basically customized by the procedure. Subjects are codenamed Shades.

So, players will have the choice of playing as Assassins, Shades, Humans, or another race (As long as that race is feasible.). Also, I don't really like calling the machines Assassins, so I'm VERY open to alternative names.

I have a few more ideas, but these are the ones I've been thinking about right now.

Anyone interested, at all?

Actually, the third one sound like a bit of fun. You should try starting that one up. It sounds like a good idea.

[piñata]

They both sound good. As an Irish-American with a passing interest in Irish folklore, the first especially sounds like something I'd join.

I'll try to think of a good name for the Assassins, as I'm usually quite good at naming things.

For future reference, when discussing two RP ideas it's usually easier, to determine who's interested in/posting about which one, to give each their own thread in this board, rather than lumping them together (which, though this thread is currently easy to follow, has gotten confusing in past threads).

Hopefully, we'd be able to fit all different kinds of mythos in there. Either way, I'll probably end up making both.

And yeah, I probably should have made the threads separate. Just thought this'd be more convenient, in a "Running-on-two-hours-of-sleep" kind of way.

[n00b ] Third one? ? [/ Noob]

[piñata]

I think he meant the second one, but confused one of the paragraphs with another RP idea. At any rate, there's no need to pull out the N-word... such harsh judgments are frowned upon here (which is why the site is named Embyr Haven, not Embyr Battle Arena).

[Rosy]

What does the "n-word" even mean, lol? <<<--- 'tis very very unexposed.

[knightc3]

It translates to newbie (the softer form of the word, more accepted by those on the receiving end of it... I think) which in turn means a new, usually inexperienced player (in this case RPer)

[Rosy]

I thought it meant that, but its spelled differently than how I've always spelled it... NEWBIE! lmao. I just didn't want to sound stupid.

As for the other meaning, I'm going to assume its like an internet exclusive cuss word.

[Crow]

Yeah, seriously it's kind of hard to tell how many there were. I read the last one and just briefly looked over the one above it. It looked like two.

[Fionn Mac Cumhaill]

H'okay. First thing I need to work on: Coherence!

Also, I'll get the threads started as soon as I remember my bloody jump drive.
