Hello everyone,
I am seeking information and interest in developing a Game Wide RPG in STO.
I was a RPG'er back in the early 90's when we used to do it via emails. I sorta gained a tiny bit of fame with my top 10 reasons why they never use the bathrooms in TNG. But anyway, I do have an RP background.
This is what I am proposing and I know it can be done (or I wouldn't be wasting my time writing this up) with the right combination of creative thinkers, participants and warm bodies to bring it to fruition.
Depending on how many participate and possibly play several different roles in game: We create a Starfleet Command, Starfleet Academy, Starbase Operations and Captains of ships, along with Non-Commissioned players.
Starfleet Command: Will consist of 5 Admirals that create and overview story lines that gets passed down to the ranks. Those participating in Starfleet command are in essence: The Game Masters. Their role is to ensure scenarios are handed out, implemented, resolve questions and work with those that are acting out keeping in proper time lines.
Starbase Operations: Consist of a group of people assigned to the Starbases in STO, their base of operations is there. They work with Starfleet Command to ensure that scenarios are acted out accordingly all the while implementing their own story lines for base operations. They are creating mini scenarios within the main to create variety, conflict, conflict resolution, and overall an economy all their own relating to life on their bases.
Starfleet Academy: A group will dedicate themselves to create and implement a "Get started" program for those new to RPG to help acclimate them into an RPG society. Also, they will conduct classes for those that are required to attend by direct orders of Starfleet Command and Starbase Operations. Those that work in Starfleet Academy will work with Starfleet Command, Starbase Operations to develop courses, length of classes and proper corrective measures. e.g. Captain Smith disobeyed a direct order from Starfleet Command causing his ship to blow up and thus must attend Starfleet Academy for the prescribed amount of time to make him eligible to captain a starfleet vessel again. (or some variation of that).
Starship Captains: Obtain orders from Starfleet Command and or Starbase Operations (depending if they are in their area of space operations) and work out the scenarios with other captains or if they so choose a specific set of crew to work together to resolve orders and then report back to Starfleet.
Non-Commissioned: These are individual(s) that are the "Spice" if you will of the RPG world. They do not adhere to Starfleets orders or commands. They are who they are: they create their own worlds and seamlessly act it out on starbases, ships, planets or wherever they decide to roost. They interact with all RP characters and create their sub stories that may or may not have an affect to the outcome of current scenarios. Non-commisioned individuals will receive certain tips, tricks or speed bumps to put in the way of those commanded by Starfleet Command and or Starbase Operations to create conflict, or make life easier for those resolving scenarios.
Ok, That is just the starfleet side: In time, and if this takes root and grows, there can be a KDF side as well. As I said, we may have to play more than one character. But I think starting with Starfleet is a good way to get our feet wet and if we get enough participants we can grow accordingly. Ok, that is my sales pitch.
I don't know... my thought is that there are fleets that RPG already. I don't know if you'd get enough takers to pull something this large. The timing is pretty good though, a lot of players are in fleets that died and they're looking for new ones. Most the folks still around are Trek fans.
If you end up with a decent guy/girl ratio though, I'm in
I figure that this would be something to unite the RP community. While they still have their groups and stories, it would be great to put it into one umbrella so that all may have an opportunity to elaborate on story lines etc.
Well, hopefully there will be some interest in it.
The forum rules have changed... This thread has been inactive for 30+ days and will almost certainly be removed. I recommend you copy/paste a new thread
On another note, your idea is definately appealing to me!
