Hi there again. I was told that I could post an idea for a rpg, so...here goes. My idea for an rpg is invovles my two OC's Jake and Backstop being sucked back in time when Jake decides to go and visit dinotopia one day, but ends up going to the great valley by accident. Along with his triceratops buddy, he has to try and adapt to life in the great valley, whilst also trying to find the required magic to charge his sunstone to get home again. However, a great evil has been revived upon his arrival....what do you all think, and who might be intestered in this idea?
-
I uhh...guess no ones really intersted then.
-
you were saying :lol
-
Thank you for that Belmont. I just hope others show interset.
-
hopefully others will.
-
You have to give folks some time. Some only come on here in afternoons or evenings and the members are spread all over the world across many time zones.
-
Guess I got alittle impatient...sorry.
-
Hello:
I must take a look at my times since I may get to be busy this whole semester, but I will still ask, who are those OCs you mentioned Jake and Backstop? can you post some background info about them? That can make things easier perhaps.
Other thing may be if things like magic will be allowed and at what levels to avoid powergaming, and how much close to pure-LBT this rpg will be, things like that.
Keep it up!.
-
I got your PM, and while I don't think I have enough time to devote to an RP, I think it does sound cool. Good Luck!

Hey, I also got your invite and thanks, but I think I'll skip in all honesty but best of luck with the role play :D
-
Well...so far only one person agreed to join, and im not really getting any other responses.
-
I think I'd like in on this, if you don't mind!
-
I dont mind at all!! Itd be awesome to have more people!!
-
I might be in on this too... as I said in the PM...
-
Okay then. Since a good number of people have agreed to join, please post what OC's or main LBT charecters you we'll be controlling, or useing.
-
Sounds like the rp will have magic in it.
-
Yeah, they'll be some magic. JUst no "Over the top, blow up the world" kinda magic.
-
I guess stuff like Littlefoot breathing fire, Cera having cold breath, Petrie able to life and throw around bolders, ect. A thing easy to powergame, as some folks like to do.
I guess the Dinotopia the chars are from departs from the books done by Gurney that I've read (1-2, 4) the sunstones are glowing batteries used to power Poseidos tech.
I've not liked the times I tried being in an lbt rp where there was magic. I ended up leaving fairly early since folks oc's were summoning storms, could call lightning, shapeshifting, and stuff like that, but fc's could not do any magic.
(Is it just me or is the forum slower then back when I had dial up. It is only here since everywhere else loads at normal speed.)
-
Dont worry, I'll be lient with the whole magic thing. It wont be where someones too powerful. Just powerful enough to defend himself, but not like any summon stroms, or revive people or anything like that,
-
Will it be oc's only who have access to magic, or fc's also?
-
What our Fc's first of all plz?
-
Alright. Now that a good amount of people agreed to it, we may be able to get started soon, as soon as I finish up more planning, and get info from the others. Heres the premisis: Zargthar, the tyrannical evil brother of Ogthar, who was the ruler of Dinotopia; has used his magic to travel back in time to rally the dinosaurs to him so he can use them to destroy the humans when they first appear. His presences sparks magical properties in the FC's and OC's, as well as his own army of carnivores. So, along with humans from the future (those who know about Dinotopia), they must team up in order to stop him from taking control of every dinosaur in extisance.
-
For more info, its set during the TV series, so flexiablity is allowed. As time goes by, Feature charectesr such as Littlefoot, Cera and the like gain a power, but only one is allowed per charecter. That includes OC's. No powers that would make them over the top powerful like invulnearbility or anything like that.
-
Sounds good so far. Will the players be able to pick any sort of power, or use some ideas form what has been seen in the movies & tv episodes, including possible plot holes, and animation mistakes?
-
As long as the powers dont make them super invincible or anything like that. Also, yes to the plot ideas for the shows and movies
-
I had one OC exclusively for Dinotopia, but since I haven't found any Dinotopia RP's, I never put him into action. He's a rather complex character, with almost absolutely no memory of his life or name before he came to Dinotopia, but his demeanor shows that he wasn't an ideal Dinotopian citizen in his former life, or what sort of time frame his story is set.
-
Really?? That sounds intersteting. Whats his/her name and what kinda OC is it?
-
Also, for those who said yeah to the rpg, plz pos what charecters you will be using, and what powers they might have.
-
"I had tried to start one here but interest quickly fizzled.
As for fc. I have often done Ducky and Petrie but I may do Cera in this one. Not sure which of my oc's I can do between Mim, Diver, Deon, Rhyn, and Mia I may do.
No idea of powers unless I go with the movies including the animation mistakes, so short range teleports, a sonic power when she yells (sorta like the marvel banshee I guess) I don't have any other ideas. If folks have ideas and suggestions feel free to suggest them.
-
No one knows his real name, so he was named Kay for the time being. When he was found on the beach, the only things distinct of him were a tribal-style tattoo covering his entire right arm and a pair of elegantly made Kukhri (South Asian bladed weapon). The Dinotopians thought he may have been a pirate, but later on he shows he's a little more dangerous than that.
FC's: The only one I haven't of taken already is Spike, so I can use him. I'll wait until after the other RPers have picked.
-
If you do Spike just be sure you have another char who is a group member who can talk since I guess it can be frustrating if you do only Spike as your only rp char.
Sounds like an interesting char, but not sure how much adjusting will be needed for the rp, but that is what you and the gm will need to talk over, whether here or via pm.
-
My OC won't be for this RP. He's for a Dinotopia setting.
I'll see what other FC haven't been picked yet.
