On the subject of crossovers: Would anyone be interested in a crossover-style RP that, rather than focusing on canon characters, would instead focus on OCs from stories the players were working on?
I personally would rather play my own characters rather than somebody else's, and I wonder if I'm not the only one.
The idea I'm currently kicking around is that the setting would be a conglomeration of worlds destroyed by a phenomenon known simply as the Warp, with the player characters being survivors of those worlds. There'd likely be an overarching plot about the Warp and possibly stopping it, but there'd also be room for player-run plots if that's their preference.

I won't lie; the ideas are pretty similar (and not by coincidence; I used to be a CDT regular).
The main difference between those and my idea is the setting. As the CDTs are meant to help their participants, well, develop their characters, their settings tend to be fairly modest and they lack any sort of overarching plot beyond what the players come up with. Whereas with my idea, there's more focus on the setting and there's an overarching plot (if a non obtrusive one for the most part).
Icon by Civvi the Civilian!Having rewatched an episode of :Shield of Tomorrow' where they played the one shot rpg Lasers & Feelings, want to play a tweaked version of Lasers and Feelings. Idea is a story similar to Galaxy Quest: You are playing an actor who enjoyed a brief boost of fame from a short lived sci-fi series, then one day are expected to be your characters.
The show doesn't necessarily have to be Star Trek like, it can be a show about super heros or magic. If you are interested, let me know. The rules will be very light/simple.
I'd like to get back into roleplaying in some fashion, and since at the moment there's no ongoing RPs I want to (re)join I figure I might as well try taking another stab at starting my own.
The idea I'm currently kicking around is yet another Magical Girl-related thing. To be more specific, I'm looking over the Magical Burst roleplaying system linked here
, and thinking it might be fun to do something of my own with it.
I'd be making a few changes to the system for my own purposes, however. First and foremost, it wouldn't be a full on Tabletop-like RP. I am considering using stats and dice in some fashion for combat situations provided I can think of something simple and practical enough, but beyond that it'd be a normal play-by-post RP. Secondly, I'd be making a few changes to the setting to better suit the story I'd like to tell and my personal tastes.
Would anyone be interested in giving such a thing a go?

i guess you can watch me shitpost i guessI'm thinking about starting an RP set in the WarCraft universe. Probably during World of Warcraft, but I'm not sure what kind of plot yet, if I want to have both Alliance and Horde characters or just one or the other, or have it star someone else entirely.
What would you guys think? Yes or no? And if yes, what kind of RP are you guys interested in?

I can still hail the Horde even though the company has shamed us. Strength and Honor even if Blizzard has neither.Looking for more players for Road Trip In Nowhere
. Basic premise is you are part of a small group of people who have wound up in what appears to be a small farming town in the south-west US. I'm trying to use this setting
to see if its possible to run a Dread RPG type game on bulletin boards. The idea is your in a supernatural horror movie, where your characters gradually realize that something is horribly wrong and that their only chance of escaping is a mysterious message telling them to go to 'Sweet Water'.

@Truth Hurts 22, Boomer 75: If you guys are worried about me crying foul because of someone making an RP similar to mine, I can assure you that that wouldn't happen. I really wouldn't care.
In fact most of the time I don't really care about what's going on in any of the other RP threads at all. I only care when someone is being a huge jerk or is breaking the forum rules.
