So I've been thinking this over for a few weeks now.
I'm thinking of making a horror RP that has the players trying to escape from a group of crazed killers. I'll list the features below: Also bear in mind that this is a full scale game, not just a story centric forum RP where we post back and forth making an interactive story.


Features
•Stats, such as:
-Nerve (how much you can stand before panicking)
-Mental (How much you can take before breaking and essentially going crazy)
-Speed (How far you can journey each turn)
-Resourcefulness (How many Action Points you get)

•A map. This map would start out covered, but would be revealed as each area is explored.

•Reputation system. This system is automatically adjusted by your actions. In a tough spot with another player? You can help them escape and risk your own neck, and if you survive, you will receive a boost to your reputation. Trip them as you run away together and your character may live at their expense, but your reputation will suffer for it. Your reputation affects what options and resources are available to you, so be a jerk and you just might seal your own fate. Be nice every time and you might end up costing yourself your life.


And some more. Essentially your character will develop as you play, and as such will gain new abilities and lose others. This character development will change how your character acts during moments when they must act independently of you, such as if you encounter an enemy between turns,as well as change how they react emotionally and mentally (affecting active and passive abilities and foreground and background stats), and other various things.


What To Do If You're Interested In Playing Or Helping Run It

If this interests you, please post here and let me know. Also be aware that even though this is more game than story, you will need to include some storytelling content, such as describing your thoughts, appearance etc. Like you would in any forum RP.

An example of a post here:
"Eirinn looked to his left and saw a ladder. He quickly grabbed it, climbed to the roof of a nearby building, and kicked it over.
'Well then, it looks as though I've made a classic horror movie mistake. Always knew I would die in one of those things'
Actions:
Use map item (ladder)
Hide"
Though this again is a rough example. Your post wouldn't have to look exactly like this.


Also this is a big project. If you're interested in helping run it, let me know via PM. You will also have to play if you help. I will be playing in part as well, as I will have to control the killers (how fitting, right?).

This game will not be overly gruesome, so no worries about content being too strong, but there will be death, fighting, and some verbal depictions of blood and such. I'd rate the intended content T in terms of game ratings.

Okay, so post and let me know if you're interested. Ask questions if you have any. If you wish to help shape the system the game runs on (stats systems, etc.) just ask to help run it via PM. Finally, this thread is to gauge interest only. Don't NOT post character bios etc. here. Thanks.

I would be interested in this. Sounds like it's going to be fun

I can do both.

Sounds fun, I'm down. Might be able to help depending on what you need.

Count me in. Two questions though: Do you have to be online much? And when will it be over?

If you got to be online much, i won't join. I'm not mad or something, but i am pretty much inactive for a while since upcoming Sunday...

Ah, what the heck. Count me in as well. It's not like I have anything else better to do, anyway.

I'll play as long as we can have more than one or two sentences per turn.  I've looked at the other entries like this and things seem to flame out pretty quick because people are like:

"I run to the window!"

And that's that.  That's their 'play.'  What in the world is that?

Count me in for some wordsmithing.

MrBeingcool1 : The game will probably update once a day usually, so it would really only require one post a day. I could handle if you missed sometimes, but I'd have to skip your turn on days that you missed.


Ghostbear1111 : Sweet. I've run a few RPs on here before, and I always appreciate the people that can really put in some detailed posts. Those short ones kill an RP fast. However bear in mind that this is the first time I've run an RP that was this heavy on game elements (usually I run RPs that are just straight story. No stats, items, actions, etc. just interactive stories) so I can't guarantee that it'll be top notch quality this go around. It's going to be a learning experience for me.

Okay, awesome. I'll let you know when the actual game starts. It'll probably be later next week so I have time to get it all set up.

I'll PM you two about it. Thanks for offering, and glad you're joining. I was really hoping we'd garner enough interest to give this a go.

Eirinn : I changed my mind about this. I'm really sorry about coming with this to you so suddenly.

Eirinn : I'll play if this becomes a thing (and I'm not too late) if you still need help I may be able to help as well depending on what exactly you need.

Zlinqx : It'll definitely be happening, I'm just getting the details finalized. I have the system in general figured out, now I have to make an official opening post and a story intro, then figure out exactly how to determine events and how they affect stats. That should all be worked out in a few days tops. And I'll PM you about it in a bit. I'm still determining how many I need to help and what they'll do.


Final Weapon : No problem man. Things happen.
