My Idea for an RPG...

**Techno** · 02-23-2008 03:48 AM

Okay, so yesterday I was trying to WILD, and I got this crazy idea in my head:

I have a habit of making stories based around mythology, religion, the paranormal, and all these supernatural topics. However, I realized this pattern recently, and decided to make an RPG for the Arcane Arena that would somehow reconcile all these concepts into one big, awesome story. Enter...

Neo-Alchera

"Neo-Alchera" is a DV-only roleplaying game that follows the story of a group of random, un-related individuals who all share a mysterious, unknown similarity. These individuals have been kidnapped by a mysterious organization involved with the occult, and has brought them to an undisclosed location called "The Clinic". The organization is repeatedly forcing these individuals to enter a REM state so they may enter their minds and take control of their will. This forces the story's setting to shift back and forth between the real world and the world of dreams. The players will have to battle against the mind games of their captors, discover their true intentions, and find a way to escape the Clinic.

For those of you who wants a bit more detail about the plot: There will be numerous references to concepts about lucid dreams, out-of-body experiences, dream-sharing, etc. You could say it's Assassin's Creed meets Vanilla Sky with a little bit of Call of Cthulhu sprinkled on top.

Since I'm still working on a few details in the RP, this thread is open for people who are: 1) interested in joining, 2) wanting to know more about the plot and how to play, 3) wanting to add suggestions and ideas, and 4) just here for lulz or criticism.

I might be interested in this. I have not RP'd in so long and this sounds like a really trippy thing...

Let the Bios and Anime Avatars commence!

I once was in an RPG. Then I gave up.

What kind of RPG is it?

A type-your-own-part RPG? Or you write and we choose?

It will pretty much be using Sindred's RPG system. If you're not familiar with that, just look up any of the currently active RPG's in the Arcane Arena and you'll see how it works. If you're lazy, here's a simple example:

I write a chapter of the story, and I send you a PM telling you things you need to know about the situation. You reply to my message with actions that your character will perform, such as "attack this fellow" or "go to the bank". You can try to be very detailed with the PM, or you can be very vague if you'd like. Either way, you need to send actions for you character to try to perform in the next chapter. After you do, I take your actions and put it in the next chapter as best as possible, and then the pattern starts all over again.

Everyone who's decided to join please post so in this thread so I can have a head count. If you've already posted here that you'll join, like WaterSquirell, don't bother posting that twice. Till then, I'll be working on an intro.
