Now I'm sold. I originally took the idea as just throwing the KH characters into the SW Universe and watching what happens, but I like the way you set it up as having it similar to if Star Wars was a world in Kingdom Hearts II. It makes sense, and I dig it.

A good Kingdom Hearts game would be great for these forums, and I'll definitely support any attempts to do it. A pure KH game would be nice too. Disney is so relateable for a huge slice of players, and so underused here, any whole-hearted attempt to game with it would have a good chance at success I think. happy

It's alright, I just didn't know if you finally decided to do one or not.

Well, of course it's a good idea. Bioware came up with it. But, can I maintain the same level of good idea? Most likely not. I'm still trying, though.

Edit: So, the words time period have been thrown around a few times, but I never got a real idea of when I should stage the Mass Effect game. If it's alright with everyone, I would like to hear your positions. In a clean, organized and well-written manner, please, explain why you think it should be before, concurrent with, or after the events in the video game.

well now that's a tough one, for me its a toss up between prior and after. because even though you wouldn't have human specters it would still be alright, you could stage it during the first contact war.

and if you go with the story line that comes after you could have human specters, which are a plus for players and you free of most cannon. you would just have to make up a new threat for the galactic races to confront, and that's the tricky part, unless you came up with a new alien species

but yes its a toss up between prior and after.

I think it's a bad idea to make it after, because of just that. Everyone and their moms are going to want to play a Spectre and they are mostly going to make humans and they are going to all be super-characters. At least, those are my fears.

ahhh true you have a point there, i was actually thinking that too, grant it you would be able to be a specter, which is cool, but you are right everyone and their monkey would want to be a specter. and just like all the SW RP's it would be all humans and no one would want to be an alien. well i guess we'll all just have to keep brainstorming.

i think it would be cool to have it during the first contact wars when the humans and Turians and all of the other races first confronted each other. but i wouldn't mind doing one that is concurrent wit the game grin

Just set it a few years before the events of the game, and don't allow Spectres. Simply center the game around the crew of USS Whatever, and chronicle their adventures.

I really like that idea. But, there needs to be a way to make the game special. To make it stand out. But, I can figure that out. I am going to scurry on to work on this.

Uhh, sorry to everyone who didn't get a chance to say anything.

I'd prefer after. Just don't allow people to be Spectres. It's not like they just give the title away.

I would set it after because the introduction of the Reapers just gives you a great antagonist.
