I am the first to ask this yes. oh well here it is.

How about we start a RPG. We on this topic talk about ideas and who will be playing charcaters.

List of names (MAYBE):

Littlefoot
Chomper
Ducky
Petrie
Spike
Cera
Mr Threehorn
Grandpa longneck
Grandma longneck
Shorty
Doc
Bron
Dil
Icky
Ali
Mr Thicknose
Sue
Pat
Rainbow Face #1
Rainbow Face #2
Ducky and Spike's mum
Petrie's mum
Twins... Dana and Dinah

Any other names anyone like to add??? That from the top of my head I could think off.

I know from past that some don't like RPGing but let give it a try! And the charcaters that will be in the RPG.

I'm not very good at this type of stuff. <_< I guess if we can get enough members I'll take a shot at it.

You never know how good you are till you try. There is no harm trying.

One thing I strongly suggest is that before we start we should agree on a basic plotline. There is nothing more disturbing than a RPG in which each single player frantically tries to get the own idea of a plot though, so it becomes more like a competition on who decides what's happening.

We could have an adventure concerning Ali and Chomper, without Littlefoot and the bunch. Just those two.

Petrie · **Reply #6 on:** November 01, 2004, 08:35:26 PM

Brian.

I actually have given it a try and I've found the only role-plays I'm good at are the ones that allow me to play my own character where I don't have to play strongly in character. I like the ones where anything can and will happen.

WeirdRaptor · **Reply #7 on:** November 01, 2004, 08:40:39 PM

Me, too. If I'm allowed to.

Maybe we can do a blend (though it may ruin the whole train of thought you had Threehorn) - use LBT characters, or your own, and put them in any situation, as in it could be in the human world and not necessarily in the Great Valley.

WeirdRaptor · **Reply #9 on:** November 02, 2004, 12:07:28 AM

Excellent idea! Can I be Chomper?

Threehorn · **Reply #10 on:** November 02, 2004, 04:22:41 AM

My fav charcater is Cera, I would like to be that charcater if possible.

The RPG can have different plots... for example...

------------

We can have a story that they discover a Cave that wasn't seen by the children before. When they talk about it and one of the parents over hear and tell them that area of forbidden and dangours to the children.

------------

This is only a quick thought. It could be a bad idea all you know. Ideas are good at the moment and who do or do not like the plot of this idea could tell it. I don't mind.

Straight from the shoulder, I don't think very high of LBT games or stories that have nothing in common with LBT but the maincharacters.

stories can be bent from normal means then the ones we see. The viewing is hardy then the RPG or story in words. You can have something mad on the story but almost impossible for viewing on a TV screen.

I know it's hard to accept someone out of their normal place Malte but it also isn't that simple to stay so in-character throughout the whole story either.

There are bound to time where you just want to let loose and goof around---it's still a role play, and it is still creating a story.

I guess if I'm going to be critical here I'm going to say this: the reason I believe no LBT role play has ever really worked online, is because they were too serious. It really did not give the author the freedom to create another section of a story with a character if that character is only expected to do certain things. Role play is about the freedom of the person playing a character through a situation, and that's hard to do if we're trying to keep in the boundaries of a LBT story.

Threehorn · **Reply #14 on:** November 02, 2004, 09:55:56 AM

If we can get the ppl to pick their charcaters and start one off sometime soon. even though it might take time to do one we can see how one work. But like you said Arvens everyone will goof around once in a while. If we can get one started I would be Cera. Since she my fav out of all the LBT charcaters Littlefoot, Petrie, Spike and Ducky.

Maybe I am just too serious, but for example I really didn't enjoy the turn the most RPG-like thread we had so far (the neverending land before time story) took. It was really just silly. It is also a deep conviction of mine that many stories can still be told within the LBT universe that are neither mere repetitions, nor crossing a line like some LBT movies did already.

Well, I've done some RPing in my time, and any session can by fun if you allow yourself to have fun.

Even DnD can be fun EVEN at its weirdest.

Petrie · **Reply #17 on:** November 02, 2004, 07:57:45 PM

That wasn't a role play game Malte because anyone can pick up any character and do anything with them.

That was just really kooky in my opinion.... <_<

Threehorn · **Reply #18 on:** November 02, 2004, 08:23:19 PM

Should we try and talk about a plan for a RPG?

WeirdRaptor · **Reply #19 on:** November 02, 2004, 10:07:53 PM

Here's one you might like, Threehorn: Perhaps we can role play what was going on with Cera's herd while she was with Littlefoot and the others during the original.
