I posted this a while back....and even posted it on the non RP


I'm going to close it, but I want to knowif this was a good idea or not, because I might use the same basic sytem for another RP.

The Black Ball sits there in the middle of the dusty, empty white room of the apartment. Its Sparse of everything expect for a few people like you..It almost looks like black hole in the middle of the galaxy, soon to suck everything inside of it…and destroy everything that enters it. You should be glad your seeing it, though. You aren’t but you should be. No matter how much it looks like impending doom, you should recognize it as the opposite

If you can see the Black Ball, that means you aren’t dead.

Well at least not anymore. You Died didn’t you. Run over on the subway track, from a heart attack at home, from a drunk driver, from a disease you where being treated for at the hospital, from being pushed off a skyscraper, from being shot, from…from…from…


But your not dead…why else would you be in this room. ….with all these people. No, maybe you are, maybe…these people are dead like you….no. That’s impossible that’s…Why are they three guys dressd in that black body suit…it looks stupid. Everyone else is dressed normal…

The Black Ball begins emitting “Shake Your Groove Thing, Baby” While its sides open revealing guns, and on its front a computer screen. On it Text begins to appear


“Your Lives Have Just Ended

How you use your New Lives
is up entirely to me, idiots…
Well that’s the theory anyway.


“You People will go out and kill this thing now.”

RULES
Welcome to Gantz RPG: The Last Stand based of GANTZ (duh I guess)! You haven’t even need to have heard of GANTZ to play this boys and girls. The Objective is to survive long to get 100 points. You can only do this by killing the Aliens and completing missions. Failure to complete a mission will result in a punishment during your next missionnext mission…if you don’t get killed in one you failed. Once you complete the Objective you win a Prize. Bringing back the dead from Gantz’s data banks or your memories, ending your imprisonment in the game (though some aliens may follow you home…so doing it right away may not be bright),or a super powerful weapon for later in the game.


Here are your Character Sheets You have 21 points to work with. You must have at least 1 point in every category, and 7 maximum in one category. 2-3 is the average skill level for a talent. While 7 would be the number of World class professional athlete or genius scientist While a )
Character Sheets

Upgrades
There is only one monobike, and it is first come first serve. Up to two people can use it at once, one driver, and one gunner.

The use of any weapon other than the Gantz Sword, X-gun, and hand to hand combat skills in Stealth mode will deactivate Stealth mode. This includes Bonus Weapons that aren’t upgrades


You of course are all supposed to PM, the Character sheets to me or a Co-GM. (there is none yet though.) Questions about the game on the other hand...go ahead and ask them here.



Really any Crititism would be good.

Well I have an idea for an RP set during the Jedi Purge....Where players would play as Jedi, Bounty Hunters, or Emperor's Hands.

The Great Jedi Purge, Galactic Civil War.

Having an assassin/escape themed game would be nice, It would allow freedom but a better sense of direction.

Bounty hunter will be acting like Assiassins hunting down Jedi. And being Jedi Knights with little to no allies, I.E the Rebels aren't around yet, and will be forced to run from and try to find ways to eldue the bounty hunters.


No one commented on my first idea...oh well.

How are you going to make your game different from any other Jedi Purge shtick?

Judging by the sound of it, he isn't. Problem is these games are poorly focused. Either all the Jedi die, or... they don't. The forces aren't really balanced correctly. One on one, a Jedi of some skill will probably be better than a bounty hunter, and I don't think that the Hands were used for hunting Jedi, judging by their level of Force training. The purge was conducted through Order 66, using two chief weapons: surprise and overwhelming firepower. The rest were a few Jedi scattered across the galaxy, some which managed to evade or defeat the clone troopers, and others which weren't on the front lines, and didn't get the signal to return home. These guys were rare enough that they just could go into hiding, with the odd rumor occasionally snuffed out, and any pocket of Jedi worth noticing soon had Tall, Dark and Sinister stomping them into the dust. We're not talking a target rich environment here, it's more targets of opportunity. If a Jedi survives the initial purge and goes into hiding, you're not going to hear from that Jedi for a long stretch of time. So you might have a bounty hunter here or there, but it's going to be spread out over planets and time.

You can't run this game with three different sides at once, it's just not built to do things that way. Maybe if all the players were in one group you might have the focus to be able to take care of things similar to how The Force Unleashed seems to be going (Jedi on a planet, apprentice sent to go check things out/clean up), but I don't think you're going to have a very interesting game if you play side vs. side vs. side. The Jedi can't win, and if the player just says "I hide on a backwater rockball for the rest of my life", what are you going to do?

Point taken, in some regrads. Most Jedi masters where wiped out as soon as Order 66 was given. They where simply caught off guard, and where busy fighting Droids when their Clone Trooper buddies back stabed them, so no one would be the rank Knight. Second, I would set it all on one or planets and it would be the Jedi's tale of escape from that planet, out into a so called safe zone on a another planet near the rim. The Bounty Hunters would be working with the Hands, so what could go wrong there? It would be simply Side verus Side. I thought of spilting this up to a series of short games, if people had enoug interset about an elite group of assiassns working both for the Rebels and the Empire. Lending their hands in defeating each other....and Merc groups and rivial Crime Syndicates.

Maybe if I just plit it up to Jedi or Bounty hunters it would work. Also can some tell me where I went wrong with my other idea. I'm just curious so I know what to do next time (or this time) so my next RP works.


Also this was an RP a did on another board...it worked well...very well....but I'd like to see what you have to say to improve it

Wealth. Fame. Power.

The man who had acquired everything in this world, the pirate king, Gold Roger said one last thing before his demise...

“My treasure is yours for the taking…but you’ll have to find it first. I left it all in that place.”

These where Gold D. Rogers last words before he was beheaded. Ever since then, there have been more pirates then stars in the sky. You are but one of many on the way to the Grand Line, hoping to find your dreams and make them come true. You may find riches and fame, and you may find nothing but pain. Your name but be known around the seas as a vicious thieving murder…or a champion of the people, or as a famous free sprit. In the end it is up to you. As a pirate, as your name is echoed throughout the world, so does your bounty. Whether your fame is gained through looting or adventure. Whether you choose to be a peacemain or a cutthroat...the choice is up to you. Be warned...though, you may win the hearts of more pirates and get money quicker by choosing a cutthroat route, you’ll lose the minds and hearts of those who live on the land, and anger the marines even more. You’ll need cities to dock your ship, sell your loot, spend your berris to acquire new goods, and find new adventures. Marines are always going to be on the look out for you, and will hunt you relentlessly. On your adventure you my run into familiar faces. You might meet the 7 kings of the sea and some famous marines. Even the Straw Hats may cross your path. The world is out there, now seek it and make your dreams come true!!!

You could start by giving it a viable plot. Right now, you have nothing. It's a "Jedi vs. Sith, let's RP" horror show dressed in a One Piece disquise.

...That never ended up being a problem, actually. Players where told they started in the East Blue...then did what they did in One Piece ...be priates. I had a list of islands for them to start off an, after being told they where in a bar in Rouge Town.

I have two ideas, one of which is more ironed out than the other. For my next big SW RP, after 128 ABY.

Titles...

503 BBY - Trismegistus

30,000 BBY - The True Sith War

Which one would you be interested in hearing about first, guys?
