As some of you may know we are re-building our RPG's here on the board, but its going to be different this time. Instead of having one for each show we are just having one main game with a difference. Normally the RPG managers decide the storyline and the characters, however with the new one you have a part to play in the decision making.

So what are we asking you to do?

Firstly let me say that we are not taking applications for characters at this point, so please do not request to play any characters.

The RPG will take place after the finale of both shows, how long after them is up to you. Your submission should include any characters of your choice, but if you are bringing back dead characters make it feesable for the story. You can also include original characters, but if you are doing this please give a brief background.

So how is it going to work?

Once we have the submissions the game managers will read through them to see what is workable. It may be the case that no one set storyline is going to be used, but that a selection storylines and characters are fused together with ideas from the managers to create the game. This allows everyone to have their say in the game, after all it is you that is taking part in it.

To take part you don't actually have to play in the game, as I know we have some excellent fan fic writers here, so submissions from everyone are welcome. But when writing keep in mind that we have to go through and discuss them all. One suggestion for the structure is that you include:

Background (i.e if it is set quite a bit after the finales, explain how the characters got to where they are)

Plot Summary (what the storyline is and the characters invloved)

Future Developments (what you plotlines will tie in during the game)

If you have any questions you can either post or PM and you can also send me your submissions 🙂

Good Luck!
 
If you are including original characters in your plot please include the following information:

Character Name:

Brief background of character:

Personality:

Character's position or job:

Strengths/Skills:

Weaknesses/Bad habits:

Connections to canon characters (if any):

How does your character get on with those around him/her?:

How they relate (to thestory/established characters, what their purpose is, ect):
 
Are people simply not interested in this or not sure about how things are going to work?

Im interested, just busy atm. Poke me on MSN soon to remind me.
What is it you are unsure about? Is it ideas wise (which I can't help with) or something else?
 
Ummm I think I got most of it... But like, do you want us to just post the ideas here? Or PM them... That I didn't know...

Also, just to make sure, we're throwing ideas at you and the other managers, and you'll be putting a storyline together for us to follow throughout the RPG?

Lastly, just curious, who are the other game managers?

When storylines are submitted the game managers (myself, Winifred Burkle, Cordelia, Jenny and Elmo) will go through them and devise the game from the ideas submitted. So they story will be made from ideas that have been sent in. But as I said previously it might be the case (depending on how many submissions we get) that only parts of your ideas are used with other peoples. It all depends on what we get.

All you need to concetrate on is create your idea with plot and characters etc and send it to us and we do the rest.
 
Future developments means certain story points you would like to see further into the game as its playing. So the players will continue to story to points already planned out.
 
I'd love to help with this...

But I need some time...

My ideas part of my brain has gone kablooey!
