Three Unusual Possibilities: Interest Check

I'm thinking of starting up another Roleplay, possibly a fast paced one. System, freeform, it wouldn't matter either way as long as I got somebody to help. I have three ideas I think could make a really fun game but I've never seen done here at least. I'm here to gauge interest on them.

1.) A Defenseless Earth against a Giant Monster

During a series of giant monster attacks on a major American city you play as a member of the military, a reporter, a rescue worker, or just a civilian. You'll need to team up with the other players to escape the city, rescue others, and attempt to kill the giant monster once and for all.

I plan on playing the monster, or having a CO-GM do it and me playing either a narrator figure or the leading general organizing the creature's destruction. I don't want to play a monster vs. monster brawl at least not at first. Basically I want to get a survival game or a save the earth-style game out of the players.

2.) Mecha Guardian

A giant robot game where the players are a squadron of 5-7 officers assigned to patrol either a human colony or a section of Earth. They soon find themselves fighting against far tougher criminals than they bargained for, and find that the enemy have military grade weapons as well. With very little hope of back up they have to find a way to stop the crime waves and keep their limited supplies up to the task of saving this world.

I intend this game to be very over-the-top and lighthearted. While having it's serious moments I don't intend for it to ever be a tearjerker. The setting would have aliens, intergalactic travel, mechs with flight speed higher than any other vehicle and the ability to transform and combine. I will have rules of this universe but they will not be restricting. The games will focus on Mecha combat but will have other vehicle pilots as player characters, like a repair tank, or a supersonic refueling jet. I intend to play the Big Bad and make it a combination of a superhero and giant robot game.

3.) Starship Racing

Probably the most unique idea I've had for an RP. But one that may not work in practice. A game where you fly around in manned small Starships or Hovercars and join a racing circuit. The game will be about the professional circuit and the minor circuit with competitors of all ages, species, and affiliations. Once again, very lighthearted and I'll admit my idea for this is a little underdeveloped at the moment. But the game would involve racing and combat in the high-speed vehicles.

I don't know how it would work exactly. But it would all lead to a major game ending tournament to decide the annual champion, and the two players who succeeded would have to race around a large and dangerous solar system.


Any interest in these, ideas of your own, or questions about how these would work? I'd be happy to answer them here.

Cool!

Anybody else got any interest, preference for a certain idea, or questions?
