Animorphs RP

Noname · **on:** September 12, 2009, 02:42:15 AM

I'm conducting a inquiry here into how many people know and liked the old "Animorphs" books, written from 1996-2001 by K.A. Applegate and some ghostwriters. If enough people know it and like it, I will look into making an RP based on that book series.

Does anyone else even know what the Animorphs book series was? I used to read it quite a bit...

I'm familiar with it. I used to read the books when I was younger, but never finished the series. I probably read a little more than 10 books and that's it, plus a couple other books a bit later on.

Oh. Okay, that's fine. I didn't read the whole series myself either.

Kor · **Reply #4 on:** September 12, 2009, 12:27:57 PM

I've read a few books.

It is an older series... it began 13 years ago... and ended a little over 8 years ago... still, it has some fans...

I've read quite a few of the books, but never managed to collect the whole series.

I've read a few of them, but that was a long time ago..

Does anyone think that they could play as one of those characters if they wanted to?

Kor · **Reply #9 on:** September 12, 2009, 10:05:12 PM

I don't have the books on me so I doubt I could play as any of the fc's. The only one who's name I recall is Tobias (I think his name is) and he was in hawk (or some other bird) form to long. The rest I have no memory of, just some bits of plots here and there.

Ok. That's fine. If we DO get an RP going, it doesn't have to have the original characters at its helm.

I was a massive Animorphs fan back in junior high. I read all of them, including the extra books that weren't part of the storyline. I really didn't like the ending to the final book.

Sadly, I don't have enough time to join a new RP, as college will be starting back up soon. I wish you all luck, though!

O_O I loved this show and the books as a kid! You can count me in...I actually had a few of the episodes on VHS for a while.

Kor · **Reply #13 on:** September 13, 2009, 09:17:35 PM

I didn't know they did it as a tv show.

Noname · **Reply #14 on:** September 13, 2009, 10:15:33 PM

Alright GVG. That's good to hear. I'm not sure whether it is best to place it here or on my own site... http://z6.invisionfree.com/Fantasy_RP_Boar...dex.php?act=idx

If I get more people for it here than my new site, then it will be on the GoF.

The Great Valley Guardian · **Reply #15 on:** September 14, 2009, 12:45:32 AM

^^ Yes, it was a short lived TV show Kor, but it was certainly entertaining for those who remember it.

^ Actually Noname, I'd post it on both...just in case and for the sake of ease.

Noname · **Reply #16 on:** September 14, 2009, 12:50:52 AM

On BOTH forums? You mean the exact same RP, or two different ones based on the same topic?

As it is, my board is fantasy more than sci-fi, but I can bend it a bit, especially because of the non-scientific elements in the Animorphs series (Ellimist, Crayak, Drode, etc)

The Great Valley Guardian · **Reply #17 on:** September 14, 2009, 12:56:21 AM

Keeping the RP the same on both forums may be slightly easier in my opinion, but it is your RP, and with your website being mostly Sci-fi, how you run the game is ultimately your call. But I do have faith in your abilities and am sure that whatever you choose, you'll be a grand GM.

Noname · **Reply #18 on:** September 14, 2009, 12:58:44 AM

Thank you for the advice... although... how exactly do you propose to have the same one? Not the same text, of course... you mean, have the same topic?

And my site is mostly Fantasy, NOT sci-fi.
