planning what do you guys prefer?

[Evil Pink One 13,506]

I'm planning to DM so I could learn and gain experience in my vocabulary and story telling, but of course how can I DM if I have no idea what the people of this forum like to RP. I'd like to know what you guys prefer to RP, like drama, sci Fi etc. and with this mosh mash of idea.... maybe I can make a world that fits everyone who posts and help me in this endeavor?

plus I'd also like to know who's active in this section of the forums as well...

NOTE: I am not pro level at my construction of sentences. hence me joining other RP and learning from them... and now this, to also help me and maybe others too, to further my skills.

I like fantasy, or the MLP universe. Are you wanting to run a MLP game set in the G4 world, or a game in some world you made that has ponies, or a non pony world? The rules set you choose might be important. And you might not try to please everyone. Instead, make a world you like and tweak it for your group.

[SharpWit 2,662]

I don't RP anymore, but Fallout Equestria has a pretty good mash-up of things.

[Illiad Easle 3,139]

Personally I like any sort of story that offers intrigue, or where I can come up with a character who would be invested in the story. The best ones for me are those where the DM introduces a scenario that brings creatures together to accomplish a common goal. My favorite example of this was Midnight in Manehatten.

So long as the premise is intriguing, I am typically interested.

@Illiad Easle

so from what I can gather that would work with you guys is fantasy based... 🤔  I think I might have 1 already...

how bout we tackle starlight glimmer's time traveling? where little did twilight know that everything was not fixed with just befriending starlight? the rift that she made continue to grow and made numerous worlds and possibilities... making new villains and new dangers arise?

copy that.

@SharpWit..... sooo? is there still a chance that you'd RP now?

That's very much possible. I can definitely play canon characters or OCs, but if I am to play canon characters I will make them my own, so to speak. I'll play them as if they were my characters.

....yeah of course, I know what you mean and I get you. collaboration is a must and not team work. for teamwork works well when there is "control" and putting control in a RP is not fun.

The main thing you need to improve upon is capitalizing your words. I don't know why you don't do that. I can understand not knowing certain things about RP, but in order to RP properly you have to use proper grammar.

my auto capitalization seems to be bugged. oh wait I think I turned it off for some reason.....

[Evil Pink One 13,506]

@Illiad Easle @Starforce @Brony Number 42

 

I have an idea....hmmm what if we allow a bit of god modding? 

not to the extent that you can control other players OC. but you guys can control NPC and make scenario's for everyone? where eventually you might end up making a different story?

I suppose rules needs to be set... but what do you guys think?

would that make things interesting? or too chaotic? or it's too chaotic it just might work?

There I fixed it! Auto caps is on baby!  but of course I have to still check stuff... Like if an emoji comes first the auto caps dosn't work....

Sounds too chaotic, besides, we haven't even agreed on a central idea.

Agreed... We wait for the others I guess... No point if we have no takers... Meanwhile I should plan ahead. Make some plots that are loose and easily adaptable to the situation the role play might be.

@Kujamih Sadly no. I enjoyed it, but I'm the type to get overly invested, and I simply have too much going on in my life these days.

[Illiad Easle 3,139]

@Kujamih

I am intrigued by the premise, the alternate timeline worlds give us a good amount of freedom in our characters as they can simply be from these other worlds, and further it alleviates much of the pressure to play canon characters IC as they too can be from other worlds. 

I look forward to seeing how you plan to start this.

Okay, but if you want to stick around and give some ideas that'll be a great help and if you want, you can influence a bit if you want, this way you won't have to invest alot and also enjoy reading it and what not.

@Starforce

Please forgive me. I thought the auto caps on was full proof... It wasn't... and I wasn't able to fully read proof my work.

@Kujamih
I'm quite impressed, grammatical errors aside I think this is a very intriguing plot hook.

The question then is, how will this apply to the RP?

[Evil Pink One 13,506]

@Illiad Easle @Starforce

Aahhh crap.... Gotta fix that grammar errors ...

anyway... it's up to you wether you came from another dimension( which I'm sure you guys would highly pick) or from this worlds dimension. Anyway I'm just setting up the atmosphere....

I guess you guys wondered in and would want to fix this predicament and go back to your proper dimension? Or you guys are actually dimension hopping and you ended up going here... And depending on what you want to do. (help them or make they're life harder) assist smile by closing or finding out the cause, or be the reason why they need to close the rift.

it really depends on what you guys want the story to go. Again you guys have full control of your character, so I'll be reacting to the situation.

SO depending on your "CHARACTERS" ROLE on this, then I can proceed to what you'd be doing.

for one things for sure Lyra is going to talk about the rift, to Princess Twilight.

Twilight would react to whatever comes out to the rift... It might be your character or something I'll make.

so knowing your traits and your character would help.

 

 

 

[Illiad Easle 3,139]

@Kujamih

Hmmm... Do you envision these rifts as being temporary holes in dimensions? More stable? A mix of both?

An Idea that comes to mind is that our characters pass through the temporary ones, leaving them stranded while the more permanent ones serve as a source of conflict. Then our characters can be recruited to help fix the dangerous rifts in exchange for a way to get back to their original worlds?

The character I have in mind is Blu Baseplate, who was a human before he passed through the rift, and is now a unicorn colt. He brings with him an AI companion with questionable morals and intentions that he was in the process of delivering when he fell through the rift.

My idea for this character is that he ultimately decides to stay when presented with the opportunity to return.

Well that's one of my suggestion though

@Starforce @Illiad Easle

Well I was thinking of adapting to your back story of your characters to make the story meld or fit properly....

So like what @Illiad Easle said, since he chose one of my suggested route, then I'll base the story through that. What do you think @Starforce? 

I'ma make a bit of scenario based on illiad. Wait a moment as I conjure up a plot.

 

 

[Evil Pink One 13,506]

@Kujamih

Well, my idea is that I could play an alternate version of Twilight Sparkle that never developed the mane 6 or the friendship (the events of the elements of harmony never happened), but she still develops an intense knowledge of magic and upon ending up in whatever dimension she doesn't really want to leave. I can imagine this version of Twilight is also less friendly and more self devoted. 

Yes.

[Evil Pink One 13,506]

Moments ago, Starforce said:

In this idea I will just play one character for now, but it is possible I might do more in the future. I want to put my effort into one topic/idea.

Again I will adapt to what you guys do as I am the DM. A good dungeon master, needs to find a way to meld everyone's story to fit in the DMs story.

Okay so how do you guys prefer to enter? I'm guessing @Illiad Easle is gonna come in by accident.

And seeing that @Starforce character is an intelligent other dimension twilight, I'm guessing that your character went in curiously, because she sensed a lot of Magic flowing in and out from this Equestria( insert number)

and ones you enter, the smile agents are already trying to control the situation. So in a few moments entering the dimension you'd meet with the smile agents. They'd try to contain you and lead you to their base to be examined.

but before that happens another big rift opens and destroys Canterlot.

now everypony knows what's happening.

 

What do you guys think? 

This way you get a heads up before entering the said Equestria (364?)

 

 

[Evil Pink One 13,506]

Btw this will be the map I'll be using.

Smile agents? Destruction of canterlot? You lost me there. 

S.m.i.l.e. agents? The one in the forest on the story I made in "Into Limbo"?

When you guys enter you're gonna have a brief interaction with the agents. Then a giant rift opens above and destroys Canterlot.

This way everyone has a reason to stop dangerous rifts from opening.

Canterlot getting destroyed would be like the big push/reason for the plot.

[Evil Pink One 13,506]

@Kujamih

I don't really understand what you are talking about. I need more information on that. 

You read the "Into Limbo" right? So it starts with that.

Spoiler

The smile agents are already gathering information about the rifts.

Hence when you enter this Equestria, the smile agency knows you have entered and would try to make contact with you.

Then with a bit of back and forth conversation with the smile agents, another big rift opens on top of Canterlot.

A giant. Meteor falls from it and destroys Canterlot.

Of course you guys aren't the only one entering this Equestria... Others with intent of evil has come to take this new world. Now this Equestria is overwhelmed!

That's where you guys come in...  The agents would end up requesting your aid to find out what's the cause of this. Also they'd be willing to go with your demands and what not.

Here's a better one.

Sure but I'm a bit more familiar to what I've given, I'm okay with using yours but I'ma adjust to it. And if @Illiad Easle is okay with that map then I have no problem. 

[Evil Pink One 13,506]

@Illiad Easle

Here's how I make your entrance though.

Spoiler

Equestria’s silence was broken as every S.M.I.L.E. agent’s devices would make an alarm.
From Manehattan to Las Pegasus, and Klugetown to Crystal Empire. Every agent would receive their mission. 
 To apprehend every Other Dimensional Trespassers or ODT (oddity) for short. May they be alive or none living, they will be contained and delivered to the Galloping Gorge Headquarters.
This mission is top priority.
Equestria is in threat level 10.
As soon as the agents received their mission , they immediately took action and prepare to defend Equestria.
At first the ODT that appeared in the first day where some materials that they have never have seen before, like rock materials that float or cloth that weighs a ton. A magical hammer that no one could carry and fruits with a weird design. 
Nevertheless the mission for them where to contain the ODT and be transported to Galloping Gorge Headquarters.
The agents were able to accomplish their mission even with the unmovable objects.
But the following days, the ODT became more ridiculous and unheard off.
Unworldly creatures starts to appear and ponies from the past starts to show up.
The mission became more dangerous and teams are made to properly accomplish the quest.

Meanwhile, in Ponyville. Agent Sweetie Drops is preparing to travel with Agent Lyra Heartstrings, to Canterlot to meet Princess Twilight.
“ FINALLY! Twilight acknowledged our letter for a meeting. For somepony who’s a close friend of yours, she sure took her time meeting us.” Sweetie Drops a.k.a. bonbon grumbled.
“Don’t be like that sweetie, Twilight is just busy is all. What’s important is we can finally meet her and finish our mission.” Lyra Heartstrings lovingly said to her partner.
“Fine… But she better not hold us when we get there… Anyway, are you done with your things Lyra? Our train is about to leave in about an hour.”
“ I’m Done shall we head to the train station?”
“Let’s.”
As Lyra and bonbon head to the train station. A tear appeared out of no where and spat out a pony.
“ Lyra! Prepare the equipment for extraction and containment!” bonbon said while posing into a battle stance.
“auuuu but it’s just a pony. I don’t think it’ll hurt us? We should help instead.” Lyra replied.
“ Are you nuts, Lyra!? You don’t know what that thing really is!” Bonbon angrily retort.
“pshhh silly pony!” she replied back. 
She then turned her attention to the pony who just dropped from the tear.
“ Hello there friend? Do you need any help?”
