Thread: What would you be interested in?

Just trying to gauge level in interest for various settings of RP stories. I have posted a poll which includes the types I enjoy. Hopefully this will spark brain-storming for a future RP thread.

Alternative present, science fiction, and fantasy are my preferences.

I'm pretty open. Over the years I have participated in many different story lines, so as long as there is a good story I'm always ready to play.

I'd love to participate in a fantasy RPG, although I am a noob to this site. I have had experience in other in world RPG's(in Second Life I was in a few for a couple years)

I've never done an RPG, but i would love to do one. I love Fantasy stuff as long as it's not too confusing.

I myself have always been a fan of medieval fantasy. Ravenloft would have to be my favorite DnD realm.

If anyone could make something similar to Fighting Fantasy books, I'd be game. I defeated the the House of Hell a week back and it made my mind hungry for more.

I have no interest in role-playing, I prefer the real thing, life that is. OK, I am a doddering old fart, but I never read Tolkein, Lewis or any of those when young; I don't remember reading Peter Rabbit or The Famous Five go to an Orgy or any other Enid Blyton books. I did read Saki, HH Munroe, Richmal Crompton, and Arthur Ransome... and Biggles of course.

I could go for anything, more partial to fantasy though.

The problem with a RP that's original (Not something with a strong community behind it eg; Star Wars) Is that each person must get a grasp as to the world, it's species and what type of characters can be found there. If a lot of thought is put into it a great continuity can come of it, but a lot of information would need to be shared and read by each participant. It does however have the 'thrill' of originality and the chance to partially shape that continuity as a player in it. -- That said a RP that already has a continuity set can also be made original, perhaps making an new part of the timeline that isn't seen in 'official' continuity sites etc. - Both have a great chance for RP potential!

I'm babbling and I don't know why. Missed out on a lot of sleep recently. But I like all kinds of RP and making characters to fit them is the point I'm trying to make here, and being new to these forums I would very much like to become a part of a newly forming RP so what ever the outcome, count me in! ^^

Count me in too. I really enjoy fantasy RPG's, anything could happen. THe problem that I have is that the story gets so twisted and I get lost and see no place where my character would fit in. If that could be kept under control I would really enjoy the RP better.
Phelpster, if you post ten times you'll be able to post a thread, so if your planning to make a RP thread count me in that too.

Believe me, I'm working on it. I was so tired since I hadn't slept so reading what others had wrote was making me cross-eyes xD
I've had a nice sleep now and I'm feeling nice and fresh so perhaps today will be the day I become a member ^^

Of those choices I would very much prefer Historical fiction as it provides a down to earth, personal look at the past. I love History but the 'Treaty of this' or 'Battle of that' is a pretty dry and remote approach to the available material. A little research and imagination can do wonders in bringing it alive.

As an avid RPer, I'd have to say that I honestly love all of those genres and more. We specialize in multi-genre, so really have to be diverse, though I'm forced to join none of them. It really broadens my horizons to play various roles and different characters and feels, even the speech between a pirate and a dwarf -- the smallest, most minute details you really dig into. <3

Nothing clichè for me though. And nothing original-series concept. I'll write in the Star Wars Galaxy, but no one should be writing canons.

House of Hell! wow that brings back memories. That was one of the best FF books, along with Creature of Havoc and Deathtrap Dungeon. Are they still going? I know the last time read one I think they were on the 40th?
