(Random idea inspired by boredom and SLIGHTLY by Hotline Miami)

 

PLOT:

 

Deep within the San Palomino Desert, there lies a lone city, known as Don City. What was once a small little collection of shacks was turned into a sprawling metropolis almost overnight. Casino lights can be seen for miles at night, the sounds of excitement and fortune can be heard as well. Many have been drawn to this city, while many are unaware of its dark secret...

 

It has been said that those who try to leave the city have been found dead a few days later. Many blame the mafia, who are said to have a massive presence in the city, and some even believe that they are the ones who turned it into what it is today. However, as there is no conclusive evidence saying so, the city is left to it's own devices.

 

You, whether a tourist or someone who has lived in the city for years, have suddenly become aware of a secret organization called "Archangel." Archangel claims to know that the city is led by a massive organization run by the mafia, and they plan to stop it. You will soon find yourself caught in the war between the city and Archangel, fighting for the truth. Perhaps you can save the citizens of the city, or maybe even uncover the truth behind the mafia who run it, or maybe this war in the streets will be the last thing you see...

 

---

 

OKAI
 

SO
 

I just had this idea floating around in my head for a while, just thought I'd get it down. 

 

Very basic at the moment, I may add more details to it later if it catches interest.

It's interesting if done right. Can you give some more details on how do you plan to run this, do we have a set story or are we free roaming endlessly. What are the Archangels? Do they have powers? If so how? Are they a secret organization like the Mafis? Are they the local police? Most important can you be part of the Mafia?

Also I have no idea what Hotline Miami is?

Sort of free-roaming. You're going to be able to go where you want in the city, but you're kinda stuck to traveling in a group, but I could work something out.

 

Archangels are just a group of ponies who want to take down the Mafia in Don City. They have no powers. They are fairly well known in the city, although the citizens have a mixed opinion on them. Some see them as freedom fighters, others see them as terrorists. They do have connections with the police in the area, but their methods are much more... unorthodox. And you'll probably be allowed to be part of the mafia.

 

You won't have to know what Hotline Miami is to play this RP effectively.

That answers my questions. Now whether do gameplay or not, I don't know about you but my experiences with gameplay on this forums were less than successful but maybe you can work around that.

Sorry, that was uncalled for.

 

Anywho, I'll probably try setting this up today.

 

I would like some input as to whether or not this should be gameplay though. I don't want to post an RP that nobody will join because it's gameplay.

Kick.

 

After playing through hotline Miami again, I actually really want this to work.

Well, keep in mind, this is LOOSELY INSPIRED by Hotline Miami. It won't follow the plot, it will have some references here and there, though.

 

Also, I'll see about posting an app thread later.

Go apeshit and kill a bunch of mafia people because a voice on a phone told you to.

 

Best plot summary 2014, anyone?

This looks like an awesome RP tbh and I don't know why I haven't commented on it yet. However, wtf are you on about with incorporating gameplay into this? I mean I know you love your dice and I respect that, but I really have not a single slither of a clue of how you could wedge it into this. I think what you keep forgetting with your gameplay that this is a forum-based, text-based RP and people in different timezones will be interacting. It's hard to have gameplay elements then unless you have a turn based system or something, but then you're just making it hard to interact and then you might as well not have this as an RP in the first place.

 

Believe me I'm loving the concept and I think this could be really great, but gameplay just seems really the wrong way to go. You can have skills etc without rolling a die and it also makes it a lot more fun for those participating because instead of waiting for the GM to do x, y and z, they can get on with their own stuff. I think Blazer's Fallout RP that he has going at the moment is a really great balance between GM management and player responsibility (?), the players can get on with their own stuff without having to rely on what the GM's doing. For an RP that's got bad guys who are gonna be getting killed and need their own personalities too, that's the sort of balance you want to be aiming for. Gameplay can be used for some things of course, but realistically it's just going to be a lot easier to take example from Blazer's RP and rely on GM decisions and player common sense (that's the one).

Aye, I agree with Squint.

 

Gameplay would indeed be hard to fit in, especially knowing how you aren't actually on that often, and gameplay often just puts people off and slows it down, which on a non-dedicated rp website, can prove fatal for the rp.

 

And thanks, Sq :3
