Here is the deal:
Members of GoF (us) have been mysteriously transported back in time to the Great Valley. We are then confronted by the big issue: how to get back. We find friends that can help us, namely the gang.
Any of your own characters are welcome. If you don't want to be your own OC, or don't have one, then you can be a member of the gang. Being your own self, not any OC or FC, is encouraged.
Openings:
Littlefoot
Petrie
Ducky
Spike
Ruby
All other characters
Discussion page links here (http://www.gangoffive.net/index.php?topic=2498)
-
News Flash: You can now be an FC or an OC only, instead of requiring to be your own selves.
-
I can do Mim, and Diver. That'll give someone else a chance to be Ducky if they wish. How many characters are folks limited to?
-
Be as many as you want. If I think that you are starting to hog characters, I will notify you.
-
I am so in! I'll play Longtail and Cyrix of course...and maybe Ruby too.
-
Me, I am Vylor, Argaya, and myself.
-
I may add in Chomper. I've not gotten to rp him much. Petrie is easy, but I"m sure someone else would love to play Petrie. I"ll let some others pick the fc they wish to do but I may do Chomper, or Petrie if someone would rather do Chomper, though I would like to give Chomper a try.
-
Good. I'll take his name off of the available list.
-
I'd do Ptyra right now...I have more fan characters on the way...but in order for there to be Ptyra, and prefer it if someone else did Pterano...I don't mind...I just think it'll be easier for me to think about things :P:
-
I'd be more than happy to play Pterano for you Ptyra!
-
For someone to do Pterano it'd have to be either after the 5 years, or he can bump into the kids sometime after, assuming they do, they have left the great valley.
-
I'd be more than happy to play Pterano for you Ptyra!
*As Cheese* Okaaay :D
Couldn't think of a better response :P:
That might help me with ispiration for my story, altough I do have ideas for a really sweet reunion for them later in my story ^_^
-
Maybe he can save the kids or something, if he has in truth reformed. Then the two of them can have a private scene where they can talk. Just an idea I had. Up to the player, but I think it would be great if he had reformed by that scene at the end of the movie, 7 I think it was.
As for the reunion in your story, that could be after the 5 years is over so there can be 2 reunions, this one during his exile, and the true on that can take place after his exile is over.
-
I wasn't thinking about Pterano. Good idea Ptyra!
I have just one question: Who is portraying themselves?
-
I'll be Sieg, Dante, and Myself ('cept.. I kinda look like a machine in my mind...)
Is that ok?
-
Sure! We now have 3 confirmations of people being themselves!
-
I will be myself and one of my characters.
-
Looks like quite a few will be having fun. :yes :^.^:
-
COuld the the charcates based on myself be in dinosaur appearce when arrive in the LBT world? if that ok you'd know what dinosaur myselve will be lol and I would like to take Cera as well.
-
sure. go ahead
-
I would also like to play myself but in dino form...and based on my physical discription I am going to be a longneck! This is going to be fun!
-
I might decide to be an elf.
That or a human.
-
I would do myself in Dino form, but I think if I stick with Mim, Diver and Chomper I'll have my hands full rping just those 3.
-
NEWS FLASH: You can be yourself as a different species.
-
can't wait for this to begin.
Myself in Threehorn form the Black one with a left whitish cream patch around the eye.
And Cera :D most likely including her father. lol
-
Sounds like it may have quite a mix of characters. Only thing is for the oc's and such would some of the players mention that they use to rp as those characters on the web site?
It seems most, if not everyone, is doing some version of themselves, wether human or dino form.
-
Well, my OCs are based somewhat on myself.
-
I guess no magic. But how about some tech folks may have in their pockets, cigarette lighters, electronic stuff like mp3 players, pda, ect.
How many are going to be doing some version of themselves?
-
Alright, guys.. is this the RP or the RP discussion? =)
remember, we can talk about all this stuff in the discussion area, leave this thread for the RP itself
I'll be joining in somehow or another, Chillitrek, PM me, I need to give you my ideas of how I was going to start this piece
-
With the two pages of discussions and another thread for the discussions it may be easier to start a new thread when the rp itself starts.
-

I dont understand what you meant here o.0
could you explain?
-
With the two pages of discussions and another thread for the discussions it may be easier to start a new thread when the rp itself starts.
This may be a good idea...I suppose someone would have to make the thread, but who?
-
me and Chillitrek are talking about the RP,I'm explaining to him how I originally intended to start this piece
looks like I'm back in the author's chair XD
-

Now I think I understood what he meant.. an entirely new thread for the RP
its only logical
-
Now I think I understood what he meant.. an entirely new thread for the RP
its only logical
Yep...that's about it! :^.^:
-
Yes, I meant a new thread for the rp since it seems the discussion thread for this rp is spread across 2 threads.
-
I'm about to move this thread into the discussion forums.. I'll leave it here for a few minutes so everyone can see what's up
-
I guess its no magic, but what about some gadgets some folks carry in their pockets, mp3 players, pda, nintendo ds, psp, pens, ect.
-
if your refering to how we get transported, I'll be explaining that bit in a short while.. Chilletrek has returned the author rights back to me so I'll be reviving my old idea the way I had intended it
its a nice twist, I think you all will like it =)
for now, let's keep this discussion going so I can better explain how all this will wok
-
as for characters, you can be whatever you want to be, I suppose. perhaps we can play as our internet aliases... me play my fox character and what not..
however, there is a point that we'll need to play ourselves before the big transfer into the LBT verse
-
I just meant some folks carry mp3 players, pens, cigarette lighter, cell phones, pda's nintendo ds's or such in their pockets. Though those who will be in dino form instead may not have those things.
Also for those playing themselves in another body, is there a rough size range you'd like the players to stick to?
-
Hello:
I think for players that decide to stick with their human shape, things like lighters, mp3players and other things could be carried, but since players will be transported to another space-time with no way to replenish or repair things, you must be careful, think in something similar like Battlestar Galactica or Star Trek: Voyager.
-
What happened? This was supposed to be the RP thread.
I guess someone should make a new thread in the LBT RPG section to put this RP in.
-
I think Aves said he would do that when he starts it. I wonder if I should do myself as a dino. I'll see how the opening post goes and decide then. I will continue to do the 3 I already said I would do regardless though.
-
We should put a deadline on when we start. This RP has been delayed for well over a month.
-
No need for that, depends on Aves's schedule. Some folks are busy at times then others are.
-
What I mean is that Aves should put a deadline on this. He should also mold it around his schedule without interfering with everyone else's.
-
if you read back a few posts, you'll see that there's been some planning for how this RP needs to be started.. I will be posting some important details soon enough of how it will work.. this information will be later tonight if ya'll dont mind the wait =)
-
I was wondering, if folks are doing a dino version of themselves do you have a max size you prefer folks to be to keep them within a certain maximum power level?
-
its something to think about, I suppose
but eveyone may want to hear me out when I explain the intro post
-
Sure, I'll wait and decide of I'll do me as a dino or not. I"ll still do Mim, Chomper, and either Diver or if no one wants to do Ducky I will do her instead.
-
I personally think that there should be a cap on how many posts per day for this RP. We should also invite anybody to come whenever they want to.
-
That'll between the person who wants in and the person running the thread. Certain points of the rp it's easier to let someone in, other points it's pretty hard. There may be certain points where the person has to wait before they can inter the rp.
Number of posts per day are good where there are either a lot of folks in the rp where some could post a page between only 2-3 players only, or where there may be some who really want to rp in the thread but don't have a lot of time to post per day. But I'm sure some folks already brought that point up, good reminding some though case any may forget and the other members interested in this can put their opinions here.
I also like the idea of having a type of rp thread sometimes that others who usually don't rp, may have a chance to try to rp. This may attract some who may never, or seldom, have rped before.
-
Alright, so I decided to use my comversation with Chiletrek from last night to explain how this RP is going to work.. granted this is a huge spoiler, everyone needs to know how this will work for it to function just right..
here's the chat, and yes, I got Chilletrek's permission to use this comversation =P
[23:32] Chiletrek: mmm, time travel, like some of the Star Trek episodes?
[23:32] AvestheFox: well, what I had in mind for the intro of this RP was a bit more magic related
[23:33] AvestheFox: shall I go into detail?
[23:33] Chiletrek: ok :D
[23:37] AvestheFox: okay, my character, (playing myself) makes a trip to a Magic Store (it actually exsists here in my town, a place where they sell magic books, candles, wands and what not) to buy some inscense. The witch that leads this store makes an offer to me, knowing my fascination about magicked items and relics (the untrue part, is that I dont know this witch that well, nor she) a type of Wishing Stone. Me being a bit tight on budget declines until she offers a reasonable price and I accept the offer and finally buy it just to silence the old woman... she goes on to explain to me that the stone exsisted in her family for several generations, and it had the power to grant three wishes (continued, please wait)
[23:42] AvestheFox: since she spent her three wishes already and lost use of this rock, she felt it was tiome to pass it on to someone else.. namely me. I thought nothing of the item, like most items of this sort, I figured it was just another hoax of sorts, but I put it into my pocket and go about my business.. I buy the inscense and make my way home... once there I decide to get on the net and browse my usual messages. I set the stone aside on the table nearest me and I go about my ways, browsing forums, e-mail and what not.. I finally get to the GoF and read a topic where someone writes about a possible crossover, concerning bringing GoF members into the Actual Valley that we know... I jokigly respond "Dont we all wish we could do that?" .. without realizing what I've ust done, I used the word Wish near a supposedly powerful wishing stone... and henseforth, it started to use its magic to make this wish a reality... I and several others who participated in this thread is instantly swept away into this universe
[23:43] Chiletrek: wow
[23:44] AvestheFox: once in this alternate reality, and after a while of goggling over our wherabouts and what not, I realize that the stone was still nearest me, it had tumbled a good ways down a small cliff... this stone will aid in a plot from there on, some cetain villain characters will try to get their hands on this piece
[23:45] AvestheFox: and we all have only two wishes left.. one wish would have to be for our return
[23:45] AvestheFox: but that about sums it all up
[23:46] Chiletrek: and it can be an interesting twist if the bad guy grabs the stone to make awish
[23:46] Chiletrek: who kknows, the GoF may need to decide what to do, to fix things oir to return home
questions anyone? We still need to talk a bit more, I think before we officially start this
-
That sounds soooo cool! I can't wait for this to start, now we obviously know who is RPing with us by now, so am I to assume we all get pulled into the LBT through the poser of the stone?
-
Hello:
You can say so, this spoiler can give the players the chance to prepare their characters when the RPG starts, like what are they doing, and what kind of things they have at hand that could be useful later in the story (who knowsthat may be possible but Aves must decide that).
And I really hate typos, I had no idea I made that much! :lol .
-
Sounds interesting, may help explain why some wind up in bodies that are not their own.
-
I just thought of something...most of us taking part in this rp are at least 18 and over...so for those of us who are taking a dino form...uhh...will we be the same size as the gang, or since we're older will our dino forms be older as well?
-
okay, y'all convinced me that human form is out of the question
we will all appear there as dinosaurs of our own choosing and at the default age group of the original gang.
that means same size as the gang, our own childhood voices, but yet the same knowledge and IQ of our former human selves.
how does that sound?
anything else is rendered obsolete unless spoken against
-
SO you're saying it'll be easier for everyone to just assume a dino form instead of being human? Cause in my last post I was just asking about size difference, with most of us being older than the gang.
-
well..... I do apologies for my misunderstanding of your post, if any
I just felt that because people were wanting to go in as misc. characters of choice (human, dino, internet avatar, etc) that it'd be a bit mediocre.. kinda jumbled up and messy
that, of coarse is why I decided to hold off from posting the RP until something could be figured out
the strict dino bit is optional, and I just posted it up as a thought
say if we do decide to go in strictly as dinosaurs we could just set up a basic age system of choice
and since dinosaurs had no basic way of counting years, I decided to classify the size and age into three basic types
children, teens and adults
Children - taking the size and form of the gang
Teens - are a bit more developed and between the size of children and adults
Adults - are fully developed and at full dino size
so if we do decide to go in strictly as dinosaurs, then the RP'er has those three classes to chose from as to what they are (by choice - their original age will not be forced, except during the real life portions before the transfer. Once they're transfered, they can be whatever age class they so desire)
and if we do go in strictly as dinosaurs, it would be easier for me to figure out how the accidental wish could be made.. say the thread I was reading at the time included that the author desired us to take such a form
what do y'all think?
-
Now this seems to work for me....of course it's still up to the other who are rping with us, but this idea I like!
-
I like that. I was thinking if I did myself as a Dino, which would be both neat and would remove the physical problems I'd have in rping, maybe a pterosaur type, their adult size isn't to large, not like a long neck anyway. Or a teenager if that is proffered by the gm.
If some want to be themselves as humans maybe something about the wish to be in the great valley, ect, worked with the person's inner wish or desire during the transfer or something to explain why some are this or that physical age, some are dinos, some humans, ect.
Like with me for example, can't run but a block, can only eat 3 things due to intestinal problems so would not have much fun in the great valley, I like dragons, dinos, & orcas so maybe part of the reason for the change to a dino body. Someone else may have an inner vision, or preference, if I were in the great valley I think it would be neat to be ... so that may be the reason they changed to that form. Even if they didn't give it much conscious thought, just a sort of flash thought in the back of their minds the wish may find it there.
Maybe crazy but just some ideas I had.
-
I think that I will still be an elf. I need to think of a good elven name. Any suggestions?
By the way, I am just as excited as everybody else. It's a good thing I saved this RP.
-
now I"m not sure about being in this rp, that the chars I do won't be fifth wheels or useless, or nothing to do or contribute.
-
My advice: go with it. If they become useless, leave. If they don't, stay.
-
I don't like leaving an rp. guess I could do a char who is the sorcerer supreme or one of the sorcerers who came before the age of humans who functions to battle evil. he/she/shi would likely not be to useless.
-
This is becoming more interesting to me. However, I've never been part of an RP in my life. :unsure: I'd like to join, but I might not be willing to do so until it's progressed a good amount.
-
You'd have to ask Aves if you can do that. He may be able to work you in somehow.
-
Hello:
I haven't roleplayed on internet not in english ever. So I know the feeling, but I think the people here will help you enjoy the game whenever you join it ;) .
-
The number of players in the rp may hit the double digits, if not more.
-
wow that alot of people I hope it don't get confusing.
-
someone of my low intelligence will, but you are an intelligent person so I Highly doubt that you would get confused.
-
if lots of things happen when I get on once in a little while then I will get lost and confused. anyone can get lost in a rpg if way too much things happen at once.
-
Only folks like me, not to intelligent folks like you are.
-
In my sequel to Enemies Inside, I have set a system to minimize confusion as much as possible.
-
I"d guess the folks who wish to rp there will still have fun there.
Guess folks will have to wait till the rp starts to see if any get confused. I'm a bit confused before it starts, but likely it's just me.
-
Hello:
There is no problem with that, I bet you are not the only confused one :D , but I do know everything is going to be clear once this RPG starts.
-
I'm making it my sworn duty to have this RP up and running at least by tomarow
also, Kor, if your not conferable playing yourself, as yourself or as a dino version of yourself, I feel I could give you the benefit of just playing your normal characters in this piece =)
Edit: Also, even though, yes, I know its a good title, Chilitrek, I'm still debating about changing it. Since after all, the way we're getting there exactly isn't a means of a warp, but rather through the powers of an occultic item (the wishing stone). And time travel is also a bit questionable as well, as the LBT series is not exactly accurate with everything in the real world... so wouldn't it be more fitting that we were transported into their universe so to speak? Just a thought...
Opinions, anyone?
-
Hello:
Do you say that players are transported to the LBT universe like Star Trek ships going into Babylon5's universe or something similar? it may be. but since dinosaurs were very much part of our own universe, it may be just a travel to the distant past, but is this makes you feel better, a travel through space-time to reach LBT time in an alternate reality to our own, but I do prefer only time travel ;) , so the warp has still some meaning.
Name the ROG as you please, I think that you can come up with a cool title for it.
-
One title idea could be: The Wish
As for time travel I highly doubt that it could be the distant past of this earth since I doubt many, if any, dinos were sentient and could talk. Also, though I"m no expert, they likely put dinos from wildly different time periods into the LBT movies and maybe tv episodes who in this world could not have existed together, but in the LBT universe may have.
I will be doing My oc of Mim, Thinking Maybe Chomper. I may do Ducky or if someone else wants to do Ducky instead I'll do her oc sister Diver. I'll wait and see who is taken fc wise.
-

My point exactly.. you discribed it better than I did, Kor =)
as far as I'm concerned, LBT is just a fantasy story based upon this same earth. But it differs greatly from real facts
-
Hello:
Mmm, there is no proof of dinosaurs been sentient as you said, but that doesn't mean they cannot coomunicate with each other as actual animals can, but they indeed need to talk in a language we can understand so we can follow a story, just like Watership Down or Silverwing.
But yes, LBT loves to mix dinosaurs that never co-existed in the same place and in the same time as you said Kor. so maybe it can be an alternate reality to our own.
For a name, what about: "Death Wish", sorry I cannot come up with something better at this time :blink: .
-
I don't think the char making the wish wants everyone, or himself alone, to die. As for watership down, I'm sure the rabbits in there would count as being sentient, even if they didn't carry pistols on their hips. You can be sentient with no technology. And for sentience you need to have a certain brain mass in relation to body mass ratio. I don't know what it is but you do need a certain level and likely a certain minimum size to the brain to begin with so likely no sentients the size of ants either. Though I'm no scientist one does pick up a few thing here and there. Sentient machines & computers are an entirely different matter.
I like the title I suggested, though I"m sure others will have great titles also.
I'm not sure why so many have to put their fiction into the same universe as this one. Was George Lucas the only one creative enough to say his fiction is not taking place in this universe in either the past, present or future?
-
The posts on discussion should be moved to the discussion topic, and this topic should be moved back into the LBT RPG section.
-
Better for Aves to start a new rp thread when he is ready to start the rp instead of using this one.
-
Hello:
I think he told me he would make a new one, and that would be the best to avoid some serious problems. And hopefully he will have a new title soon too :^.^:
-
I liked calling it "The Time Warp"
It suited the RP's plot.
-
Hello:
I like that too, it makes sense since it is mainly a time travel to solve problems and a time travel back.
-
I got the idea from Rocky Horror Picture Show.
I have a better name for it now. "Let's do the Time Warp (Again)*!"
*Add if sequel is needed.
-
That sounds like a sequel name! ;)
-
Have you ever seen Rocky Horror Picture Show?
-
Nope. Should I?
-
There is this one song called "The Time Warp."
At my camp, CTY, we can find a lot of sexual innuendos in that one song. Meatloaf performs for this song, by the way. The main line is, "Lets do the time warp again!"
-
I like my title best, but Aves will pick whatever he likes best, maybe he has his own ideas he's thought of already.
As to rocky horror picture show, there are some folks who like to act out parts of the movie while the movie is playing. It's a pretty silly movie, in a pretty weird way, in my opinion.
-
alright, its almost time.. does everyone remember the beginning routine?
-
I just know it's not my turn to wear the pink rubber pants. :lol
Sorry for the joke.
I had assumed you'd not start this till your other LBT rp was over.
-
I do have one final question..we know how you come across the stone and how it is used (by accident) But I am assuming the rest of us playing this RP are already online on the GOF forums when the stone is activated....right?
-
I may have it wrong, especially with the next door neighbor playing loud music and I can't find his post since I can't concentrate with the neighbor's music and unless he changed it but if I recall rightly aves goes into a magick store, the type the supposedly sells various suppose to be real magick stuff, hense the k a the end of magick as apposed to the way most use magic which is slight of hand. It's supposed to be a wish stone and the witch has already used up her 3 wishes. He busy it and goes home. Someone posts in the crazy crossovers thread about the modern day folks crossing over and visiting the great valley. Avens says something like, "who wouldn't wish for that", or, "I wish that would happen," or something like that, can't remember well, and poof everyone is there, I assume in the great valley or whereever the folks are.
again sorry for anything i may et wrong but theh the neighhbor paying music I find it mpossible to concentrate even to spellcheck anymroe o this post.
-
Kor has a great bit of it right. but it wasnt the crazy crossover thread that I was thinking.. more or less someone randomly posting a topic about the GoF somehow meeting up with the GV gang
and everyone who participated in that thread would be the ones who get transported, which doesnt mean we'd all have to be on at the same time
-

-
Could explain why some would show up in a dino body instead of a human one, they mention they would prefer that or would wish to be there as a x instead of their human one. Any preference on size limits for the players, or not?
-
Okay. I'll choose when I will be transported.
-
So what is the plot roughly and how wil it begin? and how many of us?
-
I think the basic thing is Aves goes into a magick shop. A witch sells him a wishing stone. It is a shop that sell magic stuff, incense and so on hence the k at the end of the word magic, instead of being a sleigh of hand store. Someone posts something about it would be great to visit the great valley or the gof members going there. I would assume some other folks post stuff like, yea but I'd rather be a ... (long neck, three horn, another type of dino, instead of being a human there) Aves sees the topic after some others have posted to it and wishes something like, I wish that, or who would not wish that, and poof some of the gof members go there. I guess whoever wishes to go to be in the rp. One can assume it was whoever had put in a response before aves did his wish perhaps.
I think the wish stone goes to the great valley also. Likely some baddie gets the stone maybe. Perhaps a sharptooth, one of the bullies, or someone else, or maybe some plot starts a bit after others get to the valley. I assume folks will be in different spots instead of being all together when they appear. I'm sure Aves will post any mistakes I made, but I think I got most of the facts right.
-
Hello:
Yep, I think you did, but maybe Aves may want to change things or to correct things, you know, since he will start it we may encounter oine or two surprises (or at least the ones who will participate) :D .
-
Maybe to make it feel more like authentic LBT some songs have to happen during the rp, as well as some animation mistakes and continuity errors at times also. :lol
-
That sounds really cool, when does it start?
-
That sounds really cool, when does it start?
how about......... NOW!
*gets to posting*
-
TO add to the rp I even started a thread that Aves sees in the rp thread. Silly idea but I decided why not. Also did a crazy crossover of the GOF and LBT to simulate the post that gave me the idea about the thread.
-
Interesting back-story, Aves.
-
Likely if the postigs are to fast I may leave this oen too, not that anyone cares.
-
Interesting back-story, Aves.
thanks, man
I'm currently giving everyone time to get into the RP, so I may give this another day before posting the big scene
-
Good idea. And, by the way, what I posted is actually true. I am trying to form a DDR club with my friends at school.
-
Good luck on the DDR club. I'm sure you folks will have a lot of fun doing that. & I"m not sure about being in this rp since I can't keep up with any other rp with the posts shooting in like a machine gun, i'm not smart enough to keep up. Threehorn's rp is the only one i seem smart enough to keep up with.
-
Don't worry about it. It is just like a song that is too fast for me on DDR; keep trying. Don't just give up. Bad habits will build off of that.
Thanks, by the way, for the good wishes. We're trying to start a tournament to get money for arcade pads.
-
I try and if they do super fast posts I can't keep up. Just me. I'm sure there are others besides me like that out there in the world somewhere.
-
Hello:
Maybe I may have problems with super fast posts, that's why I haven't participated so far, but I do want to give it a try and join a RPG here.
-
I have the same problem with super fast posts. Maybe you can pick an rp and ask the gm to keep the posts to a certain number per day, or tell folks when you feel swamped. Unless you have other ideas, feel free to speak up. Any particular threads that catch your interest?
If you want to try this thread just speak to Aves, or talk about some of your concerns in this thread and Aves will respond when Aves has time. There a number of options.
-
Here is the plan I added in my sequel to Enemies Inside (which is open to all. Check it out in the discussion board): One person posts, then he must wait until everyone else that is participating has posted until he/she can post again.
Pros: RPs don't move too fast.
Cons: RP Mod must monitor who is playing.
-
sorry for the wait, guys. I'll be posting the big scene soon
firstly, is everything in position? has everyone made their posts yet?
-
Just one question: For your intro, you said all were going to become dinosaurs when we were transported. Is that 100% true?
Humans and humanoid creatures (like elves) would add a flair to the RP.
-
I know I have! I'm good to go!
-
I think it was the final decision... because of the many awkwad and diferent things everyone was wanting to go in as.... it would had been a mess,so i decided finally to make it 100% dinosaur... we keep our intelegence and memories though
-
I think that I will modify my character to make it as though if an extreme emotion takes over, then he will temporarily become an elf. That is what I did with Vylor.
-
o.o;;; .....
-
By the way, nice picture in your signature.
-
100% dinosaur may be best. Maybe for those who are unsure what they wish to be some can suggest some. Some bipedal types, some quadrapid types.
-
My type: the one that is the most dragon-ish.
-
That would likely be a winged sharptooth. There are some since 1 captured Ducky in the fifth movie. Or a fast biter, or large sharptooth perhaps.
-
What about the four legs and serpentine neck?
-
Maybe can't have a pure dragon in LBT since dragons didn't exist then, or at least we've not seen any in the movies. There may be some rp's where you can't be a dragon or an elf if you want to rp in the thread. I like dragons a lot but I don't try to rp as one in every rp I'm in.
-
I was thinking LONG NECK
-
That would fit, but likely would be unable to fly, breath fire, nor do spells, unless such is allowed by the gm. Personally I think dragons and LBT do not fit, elves certainly not. In most magic doesn't either, unless its an exception due to the plot, like a plot device of the wishing stone, the stone of cold fire, or the gm says it's a world where magic is real and folks can wield magic. Most pure LBT should be only the types of creatures seen in the movies & episodes as well as those which by extrapolation could exist like certain species of flyers not seen before could exist since some terosaurs do and others could likely as well. A Compsagnathus I think has not appeared yet, but it would fit logically dragons and elves would not in most cases.
-
Hello:
As you said it depends of the GM's decisions, and it also depends of the story itself, because I've seen RPGs with magic and powerful characters and others more like the movies, like to make another adventure like the ones we can see from the tv serie and movies.
Like some things that can happen in our own world, I think some mysterious things that could happen in an RPG can be very welcome if it is done well, and can give players with more enthuasiasm to make even more stories.
But if the decision was made, and the only sobrenatural hing will be the stone itself, then I don't think that can be a problem, as the Borg Collective say "we will adapt" :)
-
I prefer, like I assume many do here, more pure types of rp like in the movies and tv series. Though some other types can be fun too, as long as its spelled out at the start so those with no interest can avoid the rp. Stuff like, this will be a pure rp with no magic or other stuff. This will be a mainly pure rp, but the stone will have magic that lets the person make a wish. The rp will be mainly pure, but it will have a gm character who is temporarily stranded who is from a star trek type of universe, with a villain. also a gm character or played by [playername] he was chasing, ect.
Though I'll likely avoid those that allow players to have magic since it's to easy for players to abuse or leave some other players feeling like they can't do anything to contribute to the rp or be useful.
That said this rp thread can be the type that some who are curious about rp may be willing to give it a try to see if they would like this sort of thing.
-
Hello:
I think that is correct, afterall with more kinds of RPGs we can make sure which ones of them are most successful too, which ones have more people and that way we can have a basis to make new RPGs in the future with the hope of having them with a proper ending and not dead half the way.
-
True. Including some that crossover with the LBT, or have no LBT relation at all.
-
Personally, I would like to have the abilities of either an elf or dragon in my RP character, but I will settle with appearance if I have to.
-
Hello:
Dragons are, in just one word: amazing, great, outstanding creatures ;) . But as we can see, not in all of the RPGs we should be able to see what are your characters capable of.
But it may be possible to create characters or to modify the ones you already have to match the strict LBY stories, so you can still have them, maybe without their powers but still with their intellects and personalities :)
-
I was thinking more of Hyp's kind for my appearance.
-
Yes. I do modify my characters so that they can fit into RPs. They can live without magic. I actually have two options: either the form that they are in can't handle magic, or that they had total amnesia and can't remember their other form. I prefer the former.
-
Hello:
That's cool, it is always better to keep the knowledge of the powers for some greater emergency (for example, if they need to leave from the main plot for a number of posts to do "something else"). But still in respect of the story's rules of no magic or powers and truly show them if the story allows you to.
Lol, I forgot I need to write a bios for my character :blink:
-
I have an idea, but I need to see if it is allowed in this RP.
-
Hello:
I think that's the reason for this topic, but if it is a surprise, the best would be to send a PM to the GM, I hope it will let you use your surprise :DD
- edit: sorry, too many typos :bang
-
Here is the idea:
My character is a being of magic in the form of a longneck. He doesn't have the ability to control his magic. However, in times of great danger, the magic activates as a defense mechanism.
-
Hello:
That sounds very good to me, but be careful because the rock has magic properties too, I hope your character won't be affected for that in the story :blink:
-
That is if Aves allows players to have any access to magic at all, I thought the only magic was suppose to be the stone. If one player has access to some magic then all players should to be fair and to keep them within the same overall power level.
no idea what the seeming obsession is with the character having to have magic and be a dragon.
-
As I said, it is a defense mechanism. My character will have no power over it whatsoever.
I can live without it, though.
-
up to Aves, but if one has access to magic, even uncontrolled, then everyone else should have access to the same power level, fc's included, to keep things fair for everyone.
-
Hello:
Well, yes, as far as I know only the stone has the power. and if someone has power, more characters may want to do magic things too.
But it is very interesting to know about the potential of your character lbt/cty_lover, it will make a great addition to more RPGs B)
-
Now that you mentioned it that way, I probably will drop that idea.
-
characters using magic only fits into certain rp threads, not every lbt rp thread. In pure LBT it's unlikely for any magic to appear at all, or at most it'll be some plot device like the stone in another rp, or the wishing stone in this one, not characters wielding magic. Magic along with dragons and elves do not fit into the LBT. No idea what the obsession is about forcing gm's to allow them into LBT. You can easily do your own world and do an rp thread here, there is a section for rp that have nothing to do with lbt. You can easily make up your own world and put all the rp threads there.
-
Hello:
That is true Kor, but it is also true that there are some LBT RPGs that allows the use of magical and other non-LBT elements, so I can understand why lbt/cty_lover asked about the use of magic :yes .
-
Asking is one thing, but trying to force the gm into allowing his char to have access to magic or to allow a dragon character when one would not fit is another thing completely.
I'll start thinking what spells Mim and Diver can know and will have to think of another oc who can do spells too, just to be on the same power level, and everyone else should also so all the oc's can be within the same power level to keep things fair for everyone instead of having 1 or 2 extra powerful characters. Plus if magic is allowed for any pc, fc's should have access to magic too, just to keep things on the same power level and to be fair.
-
Here is my new plan: Ask if magic is allowed. If yes, I don't need to do anything else. If not, ask if magical creatures are allowed. If yes, I'm still happy. If not, pick something that is the most anatomically like a magical creature.
-
Hello:
There are still many dinosaur species that look great and they are not very used, sadly I cannot come up with ideas right now, but I'm sure something cool may appear into the Great Valley ;)
-
YOu can look over some LBT characters, and try to pick one like f-22 "raptor" ace is thinking. Or if you are totally unsure maybe list some traits of the form you'd like and some who know a lot about dinos could suggest some types and you could look them up and pick on.
-
can i be just me but as a flyer of any kind
-
Hello:
I cannot think of a reason why not, flyers are very cool indeed :) .
-
thank you i could be like petries older brother or something
-
That should be an original character.
Do you know what the plan is mcr mad?
-
That should be an original character.
Do you know what the plan is mcr mad?
no not a clue im rocking out to much to care :lol
-
Hello:
well, he know almost nothing on Petrie's siblings, so you have some freedom to name it the way you want, and since we can see them closely in LBT12, it should be very fun for you to choose which one and begin working from there. ;)
-
well i've not seem LBT12 yet
-
Hello:
Well, then I may have a suggestion, if you cannot find pics, you may open a topic in the "seuqelitits" section and ask for pics, I bet you'll get some.
-
The idea of the thread is for the forum members to appear in the great valley in dinosaur bodies instead of their human bodies. No reason you can't be a flier of some sort of whatever age category.
You could also likely do an oc who is one of Petrie's sibblings, though the two ideas are different ideas, yourself as a flier, and an oc as one of Petrie's siblings. I'm not sure which you meant.

Well, did you make a back-story post in the wish?
-
Well, did you make a back-story post in the wish?
ummm no
-
Well, did you make a back-story post in the wish?
ummm no
-
Do you want to?
-
Do you want to?
umm if you mean my profile of my charter i geuss i'll be like a comedin cos im a very funny guy :lol
-
Here is some advice. Go to The Wish (http://www.gangoffive.net/index.php?topic=2571) and read other people's back-stories. Then, compile your own.
-
If you are playing you the player turned into a dino when the wish happens, you could be a flier, being related to Petrie like being one of his siblings would be an oc and not the you the player and member of the forum sent to the great valley by the wish. A Flier is one of the forms I may do, but I"m thinking of a few others. I'll wait and see which forms and types are the most taken and pick accordingly. If you want to be a flier then be one. Just not sure if you want to be this you, the human, sent to the great valley and your human body turned into a flier body, or an oc. Hope I wasn't to confusing.
-
uh.. becoming a sibling to Petrie simply would be illogical in this setting.. we're all telleprted into a diferent universe, and transformed from our human selves
for you to be a sibling to any of the main characters would mean you'd not had exsisted in ou current universe at all, but lived your whole life in the LBT universe
I hope that's understandable
-
Hello:
Then maybe, mcr mad can turn into a flyer similar to one of Petrie's siblings, and maybe he can play as one of them in some RPG if he joins one.
-
it is done...
-
Hello:
That is awesome, a very great post indeed, better than I expected B) .
-
what would hyp's kind be?
-
what dino best fits your personality? =)
-
I guess Duckbill.
-
Then duckbill it tis*smirks*
-
Though I'll likely get cussed out for this on wikipedia it claims he's a Hypsilophodon. No idea if it is true or not nor what the common term for those are. Just offering up an opinion of whoever posted to wikipedia.
-
I've lost all care over what the scientific name of the species are... they can argue and fight all they want over what kind of Duckbill Ducky is.. but I know ducky as Ducky =) and besides.. nothing in this universe fits logical history or explanation.. so why be so serious about it?
back on topic
-
I find it easier to say, Ducky's type, Petrie's type. A flier but not the same species as whatever Petrie is, Ruby's type, ect. which one is Hyp anyway, I can never remember which of those bullies is which.
-
it is done...
thank you :yes :D
-
You going to be a flier? Decided on your colors?
-
well like petires couler olny a black beck
-
Aves will speak up about that but that should be ok, how about age catagory? Maybe like Petrie's colors but a few shades difference here or there. Though those sorts of details are between you and Aves. Hope you have fun in the rp.
-

about the age there kind would be as a teenager
-
That was one of the age options he gave.
_________
Children - taking the size and form of the gang
Teens - are a bit more developed and between the size of children and adults
Adults - are fully developed and at full dino size
______
if you mean what size, if you want to do a teen, you can just pick some size somewhere between Petrie and his mother's size. I doubt dinos keep track like, "I'm 13, I"m 16"
-
Threehorn...I'm a longneck...a teen longneck!
-
I'll do my post soon, just waiting to see what the others are since I have some possibilities in my mind.
-
I am doing "long neck", but I need a color scheme that isn't involving gold and silver.
-
You could do shades of green, shades of blue, or other colors. Do you have some favorite colors, those may be able to be used, or your hair or eye color.
-
I was thinking along the lines of white and black, with eyes that resemble the tai-chi symbol.
For those who don't know what it looks like,
(http://brandsoftheworld.com/brands/0016/3968/brand.gif)
PS - I picked this one for a reason.
-
That is up to Aves, I'm sure he'll be along shortly. He can help you far more then I can. :yes
-
I will most likely do a black-and-white coloring at the very least. I need an iris color, though. Should it be black, white, or one of each? Or maybe a different color altogether?
-
You could do your own eye color, both black, not sure if iris's could be white, wouldn't the blood vessels underneath make them look pink like I think albinos have?
-
I won't care about anatomy in this case.
It will probably be one black and one white.
-
I'm still thinking about whether or not to join this RP. When I finally decide and if I want to join, I'll send Aves a PM about what I would like to play as.
-
That's a good idea, the two of you can discuss your ideas and come down to one that you like and would fit in well.
-
That was one of the age options he gave.

well im 14 tomorow
-
You can have your character be that, or younger or even older, if you want. My character is somewhere between 15 and 17 roughly. Or at least he's in the body of a 15-17 year old flier, though mentally he is still 40.
-
Just as a heads up I'm going to be referring to myself as Guardian instead of GVG....but this has absolutely no effect how you approach me in the rp. If you use GVG that's fine, or call me Guardian either one works for me.
-
Gotcha. My size, by the way, is in the teen category.
-
Mine too.
-
is the role of littlefoot still open?
-
As of now, I believe it is.
-
Guess I'll also be littlefoot.
-
I think the only roles taken were Chomper (me) and Cera (threehorn), I may do Ducky but am waiting to see if anyone else wants to do Ducky, then I could do her sister Diver instead.
-
I've RPed as Ducky before...I'll do it!
-
Ok. Though I do enjoy doing Ducky and I'm doing Ducky in other rp threads I wanted someone else to have the fun of rping as Ducky since I"m doing her elsewhere. I may bring in Diver, I"ll decide later.
-
I guess that just leaves Petrie and Spike left available (and Ruby if you want to include her). Anyway, I've made up my mind and I'm choosing not to participate in this RP (I just have too many things to handle already). Instead, I'll keep reading it and maybe offer suggestions every now and then.
-
If that is how you feel.
-
Bad rp, or ok that Kor seems to be using the right terms and not messing up, or if he is it's mild.
-
Can anybody help me decide on a good time to introduce my OCs?
-
Aves would be the best to ask since it's his rp, I'd say.
-
I just want opinions. I don't really need the admin for this.
-
To give credit where its due, Threehorn pointed out that perhaps there's too much activity on the RP forums to keep up with. With this, I totally agree
Me, trying to run three major RP's at a time on these forums is a terrible headache.
I never liked falling behind, but lately, I've let The School Bully and this RP go right over my head and I found myself drowning in other's posts
I'm going to try and keep up until I succesfully get them all finished
I may even revive the old Insane Cafe sequel, which also I feel has faded due to my losing touch with things, but first, I may need to finish one RP before moving on to that, so I ask anybody who was apart of that RP to keep their memories fresh on it... I'll be revivitng it soon
and now, let us continue
-
Maybe you can do a bold text summary before each of your first posts on a page to help yourself keep up. May not help much but it may. I saw someone on another forum do that on a rp thread I was in.
-
I feel totally at a loss in this RP.. I'm not sure how to aproach the group or how to react since I've been out for so many posts...
I just dunno.... I'll probably have to try something when I have more time (monday)
anybody have any ideas? I'm supposed to lead this RP eventually to the main plot, and I'm completely obsolete from the plot going now
-
One thing you can do is to ask everyone in the rp it'self to stop posting till you say it's ok to post again. That may give you time to look the posts over and get caught up again. Just one idea. I'd not mind stopping my posting for a while.
-
GVG said he'd do Ducky, no one has claimed Spike, as of yet.
-
(double post, edited and removed)
-
I hit that stuckup Threehorn pretty hard, me thinks xD
dont worry, mates, I'm not what you'd call a decent fighter when it comes to words or physical inflictions. I feel this little battle may be with words, and only words.. unless Topsy here wishes to push the envelope toooooo far
-
That was what I was expecting. And therefore, that is why I intervened.
-
Meh, well, me playing as myself here, I actually felt some strong emotions on this little scene. Hope I really didn't anger Threehorn in real life with my little emotional outburst there
and no, I'm not really going to leave the forums xD
-
That is a relief. We couldn't stand you leaving. (No sarcasm here)
I LOSE!
-
I think Ducky's trustworthy enough here that I might let her in on a certain secret. Thanks Threehorn for sending her my way =) it lightens the spirit
-
It probably is not the right time to say this, but I have an idea for a sequel.
-
It probably is not the right time to say this, but I have an idea for a sequel.
ith the stone not having its power, there may be need for a sequel.. so shoot
-
I'm sure Threehorn is a good enough rper to know that is just an rp'd fight between your character and you the player are not mad at him, but just that your character is mad at Cera's dad.
-
alright, mateys, this looks to be a long stay, so I advise everyone to make themselves at home. I at least plan on building my little settlement, making it feel more comfortable and homely.
Yep, think of it like we're shipwrecked on an island... I do have the Gilligan's Island theme playing on loop in my head from all this.
Also, I'm still wondering why the stone stopped working, and whatever happened to the creature that was fossilized inside... and if the magick was somehow related to it.
And of coarse, I'm hoping to make things right with everyone. I might have myself apologizing to everyone about my little intervention earlier, including Topsy, Cera, and Wayne. It may not bring any trust in on my part, but its at least a step up.
Big plans ahead, mateys... Yes, big plans.
-
Guess we'll have to wait and see how things turn out. Things seem fun so far. Lots of players, but I know there would be huge interest in the rp based on the basic idea behind it.
-
The sequel idea is as follows.
We get back, but the gang are pulled with us.
-
Now there's something I'd like to see. :yes
-
They you have the gang running around in modern day earth? No one would notice in California or new york, or at most think they were advertising some new movie.
-
Well, that wasn't what I was thinking exactly. I was thinking that they become humans, like we became dinosaurs.
-
You can talk that over with Aves and see what he thinks.
-
Well, that wasn't what I was thinking exactly. I was thinking that they become humans, like we became dinosaurs.
Yes but since most of us live in different states/countries would they all be in the same state/country.
-
I thought that we would all reappear in Central Park, New York.
-
I thought that we would all reappear in Central Park, New York.
Seems like a good place to reappear.
-
I also have an idea for where to reappear. here in WA on the Island less traffic and more forested area than NYC.
-
Interesting ideas, just remember to talk to Aves since even if he may not be running it it is an idea based on his thread so he should be at least talked to I think in my opinion.
-
I would reply to the RP, however I'm waiting for a response from the one who asked me a question two days ago.
So here's hoping for tonight.
-
Sorry. My computer was acting crazy for the past two days. I just got it to work today.
-
That is a huge hassle.
-
Maybe a silly idea, but someone mentioned to me that they wonder when a sequel will be done, one of the new members who joined after this rp started. It reminded me of an idea I had before but didn't mention. Maybe instead of a followup, it can be rerun in some form, maybe with some details changed maybe not, every year or 2 so the newer members can have the fun of rping in it.
Maybe not the same gm since the next time the original one may be to busy.
-
I'm thinking about also rping as Mr thicknose and hyp as well.
-
I'm sure Aves would not mind. Why not give it a try.
