I was curious if any have tried to do a movie or tv series episode as an rp, but have it be like a what if (old marvel comics series) where the pc's could do something instead of just exactly what happened in the movie?
-
I thought about something like this too, but I didn¥t try it yet.^^
-
What are your ideas for that. I mean how should it work. Do you have any ideas for that.
-
One has many options. One would be to let the rp start as the movie or tv episode does, then see where it goes based on the pc's actions, with things occurring like in the movie, or episode, only a bit different.
One can remove a minor incident perhaps that did occur in the movie put one from another movie or episode into it. Or perhaps even try putting an incident from 2 movies, or main plots, if possible, into one. Just a few ideas.
You have to also decide if you'll allow only feature characters, or any character.
-
That sounds nice :^.^: . But how could one do something like this now. You must know, I am not soo good in english :lol . But I think I understood what you mean.

As an example. Pretend one decided to use movie 9 - Journey to the big water. One could add in the tv episode days of rising water as well.
The events in the episode could happen early in the movie lets say. Littlefoot & Petrie's nest incident could happen, then Petrie's mother could suggest they go and play, she and her kids will build their new nest themselves perhaps with Ruby staying to help. After Ducky teaches Cera's little sister how to swim (not sure of her name, keep getting her and her mother's names mixed up). After she learns to swim Ducky's mother and Cera's dad could call them home. Ducky's mother says they have to move their nest Littlefoot with Chomper and Ruby help. Littlefoot and Chomper decide to go and see if Ducky's mother needs any help. Those movie scenes happen, Chomper decides to stay to help lets say. Ducky's mother suggests Littlefoot goes to see if his grandparents need any help. He goes off, but they do not. He can then go off, he and the group can sing their bored song. Then the rest of the movie can happen pretty much as it did before, except that Ruby and Chomper may be present. Though you can say this takes place before they get to the great valley and are not present.
Another example, using the same movie:
The beginning is totally different. The basic events of the missing fast water happen, but with a bit of a change. Instead of Mo seeing the land water and swimming up hoping he can visit with his mud brothers again, he has not met them before. He sees the land water that reaches to he big water due to be backed up and decides to explore. He gets lost and when he gets to where the group is where the rocks and such block the fast water from flowing into the valley he meets them for the first time. After they do what they did in the basic events in the episode they decide to help Mo back to the big water since 5 of them have been there before and they know the way to the big water. Then the events in the movie set after the group have left the big valley can happen.
Hope I explained and gave an example enough, if not feel free to speak and up and I'll try to do better. Your English is very good.

Thx, and I understood now. Than lets start it. But first I think we need more people for those RPGs, not?
-
We would need more folks. It would be best to start a new topic. Not sure of the title. It would have to be given a suitable title. It would have to be decide if Ruby & Chomper are present and if the first or second example will be run. If the second example is run then it'll have to be decided if and if someone gets to rp as Mo also. I've not run an rp, not sure if you have or what it entails or how hard it is. Would you rather run it yourself or try a joint thing? Like I mentioned I've not run an rp before.
It would also have to be decided which of the 2 examples, or your own ideas, will be done.
If the second one is done then the events of the first part of the movie could be done as a second rp once this one is over. The lots of sky water as in the early part of the movie, ect, then one could add in some of the events from the Days of rising water episode. Due to all the sky water rivers and such overflow, as in the movie. Mo, instead of getting lost can instead see the land water and swims up it hoping to get to visit his mud brothers again. The group could play during some of the rain, though Mo would have to go home once the rain stops and the water level starts to drop. The time with the rain and Mo in the valley could be stretched out however long. Once the rain stop Mo would have to either swim back home alone, or the group could decide to accompany Mo so they can be with him a while longer. The events in the rest of the movie would likely not happen since they already did in the earlier rp, though they could visit with the longneck and her hatchlings again. The second rp could end anywhere. With Mo going back alone, the group with Mo reaching the big water, or once the group reach home after they have accompanied Mo back to the big water and head home on their own.

Sorry, I have not a really good idea how to start something like this^^. Perhaps someone could help us please? :lol: . Seems like no one want to post his or her meaning about this here. :P:
-
Hey, this sounds like a good idea, if we need anyone to run the RP I would be happy to help!
-
It could be an interesting rp, and if there is interest and folks have fun, it could lead to more done like this in the future. :DD
-
I really am looking forward to this! ^_^
-
Who wants to run it? And which of my examples sound best, or do one or both of you have some ideas you'd like to mention. We can discuss it here then start the rp thread when it is ready to be run. Also what sorts of name titles do you think would be best?
-
Lost interest in this, or busy? How about another idea.
Sorta of a possible future:
Littlefoot and his friends are adults, with some or all of them with mates and maybe kids. Some of their kids set out and leave the great valley for some reason or other, like they use to when they were their age. While the older adults argue about what to do (this may give some character a chance to do a funny line (funny to me anyway) while looking at the older adults about how some things never change.) Littlefoot and his friends decide to go out and rescue their children.
-
yeah, that¥s a good start. Sorry for the late reply. But I think it¥s better for me when I have an excample. Just let¥s start to play, anyway^^
-
Which of the examples that I said do you 2 like best? Or do you have other ideas you'd like to mention too, and who'll be running this?
-
I'll run it, and honestly I think the second one is a fun Idea...
-
Guess you get to decide which fc's are available and the rest of the stuff. :)
-
Okey, that I don¥t understand now :lol: . Sorry.
-
Just a sorta joke on my part. The Great Valley Guardian said he was going to run it, and I attempted a partial, and likely very bad partial joke. That is why I put the smilie at the end instead of the laughing dino head. Sorry I was confusing.
-
With some tweaking I think some tv episodes could be combined for an rp or could have been a movie. Some such as Meadow of Jumping Water and Return to Hanging Rock. Plus also maybe some elements of Escape From the Mysterious Beyond.
The main thing is you'd have to decide if Littlefoot and the rest who are not with Ruby in Return to Hanging Rock are present or not. If they are not then there could be either an rp (or added animation) of Littlefoot, Cera, and Petrie looking for Ruby and the rest, finding them gone and one of them could remember what Ruby said and then they could go to Littlefoot's grandfather to help then look for them. A bit stupid maybe, but just one idea.
