The Official S2C RP Fanclub (Suggestions for RPs)

[Infernal]

This is the now Official Sims 2 Community FanClub. Talk about what you think should be changed in the RPs, what kind of RPs you like, what RPs you're in and how you like them, and Suggestions for what RPs you wish to play. Other members might take your ideas and use them to create new RPs.

You can keep OOC chat here, but please, no spam.

[foolinthemoon]

ME and you know it! i just love it all! if there is a new kind, teach it to me! *misses D&D*

[Infernal]

Yes, I loved DnD, especially IRL, but it was alot of fun to do on AIM

btw..I added you as a buddy to AIM foolin ;) Im on, and bored XD

[happycowlover]

I love RPing! I RP on X-men forums never tried any other type though.

[Tosh]

What does MMO mean? *Newbie*

RPing is cool, but the only time I've done RPing was in The Sims 2 Community Highschool contest ages ago... was very fun. :)

[Infernal]

Hehe, MMO = Massively Multiplayer Online

Yes, there are a few RP boards running around here relating to the sims 2, but nothin beats sitting at a table or in a chatroom, thinking on your feet :)

[energy_genergy_SC]

I LOVE role-playing. It's my favourite thing ever. I'm having a one on one role-play on MSN right now, as a matter of fact. xDDD

[Infernal]

lucky... id ask to join, but I dont ever use MSN XD

[Tosh]

Ah thanks Infernel, I've seen those three letters being used before and just nodded like I understood everything... hehehe... :P

[zeldap]

Until recently, when I entered Hidden Palace III, the only RPing I'd ever done was D&D. My husband keeps trying to get me to play Star Wars online, but I've never done a MMO, besides which I'm not much into Star Wars. I have to admit though, it might be tempting because RPing is fun.

[Tosh]

What are some good RPing sites? I'm compelled to do some investigating...

[Derange]

I love RPing, but the things I manage to spew out lately are cringeworthy. I miss the days when I could RP like this...

It was night out, the sky relatively clear with an exception of the small pockets of smoke that still lingered from the muskets and cannons that had torn each other apart only hours earlier. He was lying on his back, unable to move as whatever was left of his life's blood drained slowly from the bullet holes in his neck and stomach, rendering him unable to walk or even to move. He heard screams, a four-legged animal moving, and even though he was only half-conscious he clutched his rifle closer to his chest, bayonet gleaming by the moonlight at the end. Soon after, other sounds drifted to his ears; he heard cries of his fellow soldiers.

"Help me, please, help me."

Another, off to his right, was closer. "Water, I need water."

"Oh God, I'm dying!"

And then there was someone right next to him. "No... no... Get away from me! Get away!" His cries were soon replaced with cries of agony that made him cringe and shiver. Wild hogs, now so close. Please, please, don't let them get to me. Please.. The cries continued, much fainter now than before, he witnessed a hog moving through the field of wheat cut down by bullets towards him...

Owen woke with a startled gasp; his eyes flared open and he stared up at the dark purplish blue sky, panting, terrified. The wheat was gone; there were no longer cries of the wounded and dying, no one calling out for water, or help, and no screams of those being eaten alive. He reached up and felt his neck; a bandage covered the hole. He let out a bittersweet sigh. I'm still dead.

He pushed himself into a sitting position with shaking hands, rubbed his bloodshot eyes. Again. That dream, again. Again and again. Why is it still there? I don't want to keep reliving it. He took a glance around at the featureless landscape, stood up, and started walking. The direction wasn't important. It was the same everywhere he went. This would classify as... day 321, I think?

Even he had begun to lose track of the nonexistant time.


Or like this (http://www.zipclaw.de/aerus/viewtopic.php?t=220). (the FastClaw post)

[happycowlover]

What are you into? X-men? Harry Potter? Star Wars? Like I said above, I'm into X-men. :)

[Tosh]

Hmm I dabble in everything, except for Star Wars. Gah.

[Infernal]

I say, we all get together over an IM and figure something out... im bored as hell right now!

IRC somewhere?

[happycowlover]

LOL Me too. For some odd reason, I just think Star Wars are for uber-geeks. (No offense to anyone who likes Star Wars! :))

I've recently found this site, X-men: A New Generation (http://z6.invisionfree.com/X_Men_New_Generation/index.php?) Although I've just applied (my character's Dormir), it seems like a very fun and active site. And if you don't like that site, they have affiliates at the bottom who are also interesting. :)

[Tosh]

Argh what does IRC mean? Someone needs to speed me up on the secret language of RP :lol:

[Infernal]

type of chat server

anyone???

[happycowlover]

Hmm, I'm not really up for RPing right now but I'd love to do it sometime later! :)

[energy_genergy_SC]

I only have msn and my Beauxbatons role-playing forum. :(

[Infernal]

You can sign up to AIM relatively quickly (less than 5 minutes) and its doesnt cost anything or such..

[energy_genergy_SC]

It's quarter past three here, though, so by the time I've registered and someone plans something else I'll probably be off to sleepy-byes. xD :lol:

[Tosh]

Hehe agreed, I would love to join the X-MEN RP site but t says you have to be experienced... bummer.

[Stormy_SC]

Ok, I'm a little slow so you people have to help me out here. What is RPing? Did I make myself look like a complete alien just now?

[happycowlover]

Did you try any of the affiliates on the bottom of the page? Maybe they'll accept newbies. :)

From Wiki:

"A role-playing game (RPG, often roleplaying game) is a type of game in which the participants assume the roles of fictional characters and collaboratively create or follow stories."

[thothep]

I RP regularly, like every Thursday at 7 we have D&D night at my place. Well, at the moment we're actually playing Iron Heroes, but most of the time it's D&D. And I have another group that sometimes manages to gather on Saturdays for D&D (current DM bowed out at the last minute this week, or we'd be playing now), I used to DM that group but got burnt out. I've had a few characters that I was very sorry to see go when the end of the campaign came, especially my second rogue, she really drove the party nuts, but in a good way, unlike one friend whose rogues tend to gain hatred from the rest of the party.

I LARPed for a few years as a member of the Camarilla, and even spent a year as VST Changeling. But I got tired of all the OOC politics and couldn't be bothered to renew my membership after White Wolf ended the old WoD.

My sister kept trying to drag me into RP chat rooms, but I always got frustrated because I don't understand the internet shorthand, and have no intention of learning it, so I was rather handicapped. And the only MMORPG that I've been able to get a handle on the controls for is iRO, but nobody was really RPing on any server I've been on. So I really haven't had good experiences with online RP.

[Egyptian Shinobi]

I play D&D on the rare occasions when I get a chance. My group can't always make it, though I'm willing to run a session even if there is only one player there. My group runs two campaigns, one of which I DM. Both of our campaigns are populated by... interesting characters. How to describe Mazmerod? African-American Hermaphrodite Elf Sorceress. Jebeddo "Stumbleduck" Newport? He's a gnome bard with green skin and orange eyes, and the lead guitarist and singer of the thrash metal band "The Stumblef*cks". In our other campaign, Sylvia is a Mimic prostitute and Matrik is a barbarian with a huge Oedipus complex.

I once played in an online Dragonball Z-based RPG complete with a chat-based combat system. I was the strongest player on there for a while but then I stopped going for a while... by the time I went back the administrator had changed things around to the point that I no longer wanted to play.

I played a bit on Gaia, but that kinda sucked...

There is a roleplaying forum on my website, but unfortunately it is empty.

[Infernal]

i still think we should get a group together one night and play through something DND esque

[zeldap]

That sounds like fun. I haven't D&D'ed in a long time.

[Egyptian Shinobi]

I'd probably be in.

[foolinthemoon]

That sounds great, by the way, i left the screen up, but i wasn't really here, i've been over at a friends :D i'll have to redownload AIM, i have yahoo mostly

[ooshinaynay]

i've never RPed. it honestly does not appeal to me.

[Infernal]

it should! XD its really a lot of fun, especially in large groups

So when do you guys wanna do it? And Im assuming AIM or IRC somehow?

[zeldap]

I'd vote for AIM since I already have an account with AOL. Whenever you wanna get it set up. Sleep is highly overrated anyway. LOL

[Infernal]

hehe... well InfernalS2C is my account, gimme a message

[foolinthemoon]

Who's gonna DM?
I'm loading AIM now

NOT ME! i don't DM

[123321_SC]

I've never been in an Rping contest, so I wouldn't know lol..

[Infernal]

Ill DM, we need some people on AIM thou!

[zeldap]

Great Infernal as DM. Why are visons of epic battles floating through my mind? LOL

[Infernal]

IM going to try to set something up tomorrow.

Put your name (and AIM screename) on this list if you are interested, maybe 6:00 PM EST, or MIdnight GMT, we'll do it. If not sooner or laterl;

1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
etc.

[Julieth]

I love RP as long as it's pretty intelligent and chat talk free. I'm more into text based, but I'll play around on Infernal's AIM thing if I can get AIM to work. I'm always looking for new games.

[foolinthemoon]

1.foolinthemoon (for those of you who don't know, foolinthemoon is my screen name) :D
2.
3.
4.

[zeldap]

[Infernal]

btw, it will be DnD -esque, and organized to posting in turns

[Egyptian Shinobi]

3. Egyptian Shinobi AIM: yuichimendez

I hate AIM, but I'll play. By D&D-esque, what do you mean? d20 system?

[Julieth]

My AIM name is Vendettagirl9 and I'm a D&D newb, but I've done a lot of text based. Yup.

[Infernal]

3. Egyptian Shinobi AIM: yuichimendez

I hate AIM, but I'll play. By D&D-esque, what do you mean? d20 system?

like, DND setting and monsters

[Egyptian Shinobi]

Okay. But will there be a real game system? How will we handle battles and such?

[Infernal]

ill have it set up, dont worry.. its casual gaming, more storyline related. Not like IM going to have dice out, and spouting off who did what.. You can do what is needed, and ill direct the story

[Egyptian Shinobi]

Lol. Actually, you can roll dice in an AIM chatroom. Type //roll-dice1-sides20 to roll 1d20.

That's cool though.

[auroraspirit]

I really enjoy fantasy and reality RP, I really enjoyed TDI contest, HP3 has been the only RP I've entered in beside TDI.

I do it for the fun for it, I'm not at a serious RPG'er

My sim currently is in love with someone on a RP contest that I am in and its awesome :yippee:

Auroraspirit :angel:

[JoeSims]

I know this may sound wierd but I like playing Neopets in my sparetime.

[Infernal]

umm.. I dont think that has anything to do with RPing

and thanks for the dice rolling idea, neatness

[foolinthemoon]

My AIM name is Vendettagirl9 and I'm a D&D newb, but I've done a lot of text based. Yup.


I might as well be a newb, i was still learning, when i had to stop! :( I tried to start back, but i could never find out about which house it was suppose to be at. My ex used to DM... he got me into it.

but i still do have all my dice somewhere...

[Infernal]

Well, ive cracked my old monster manuals out.. ill use em

this is the list so far, update off this:

1. foolinthemoon -- foolinthemoon
2. zeldap -- zeldaop
3. Egyptian Shinobi -- yuichimendez
4. Derange -- ManikPanik7
5. **Possibly Intrepidllama*
6.
7.
8.
9.
10.

[Derange]

Oh, might as well as long as I can play a naga and I'm not doing anything at the time.

[thothep]

Wish I could join and try online again, especially with one of my gaming groups having pretty much fallen apart, but we have a dinner party at my place every Sunday. I also have a term paper due tomorrow that I haven't started, oops.

[Infernal]

Hmm Kay

Well, I would like everyone to fill this sheet thingy out, and try to balance youselves out. We need archers, mages, clerics, thiefs, rogues, etc.

Race: (Elf, Human, or Dwarf *Other?*)
Class: (Warrior, Archer, Tracker Thief, Rogue, Assassin, Cleric, or Mage *Other?*)
Weapon: (only one) ***

I think I got everything!

[Infernal]

Remember, this is DnD based mostly around story, with some numbers thrown in there to make it fair. Il control the bad guys :)

[zeldap]

Name: Larnia
Race: Elf
Class: Archer
Weapon: Bow
Armor: Light Armor
Health: 20/20 HP
Level: 1
Items: 1 Loaf of Bread
Other: 25 Arrows
Bio: Larnia is fairly young, for an Elf. She recently left her home to meet new people and find adventure.

Let me know if I missed anything

[Egyptian Shinobi]

Wow. Mana spelled with two Ns. lol.

Name: Khoshu
Race: Human
Class: Mage
Weapon: Vorpal Longbow (Just kidding! Shortspear) (4 ATT Points)
Armor: Light Armor (4 DP)
Health: 20/20 HP
Magic: 15 Manna

Items: 1 Loaf of Bread (+3 Health), 1 Blue Manna Bottle
Bio: Hailing from the swamp-filled lands of Panthoia, Khoshu grew up with dreams of greatness. The best way to attain this, he decided, was to become a powerful sorcerer. He spent his teen years developing his mystical abilities, drawing power from the swamps to cast minor curses and invocations. He rarely slept at night, prefering to spend the dark hours in his bedroom studying vigorously the art of arcane spellcasting. Now at age 20, he feels the time has come to leave his homeland and travel into the outside world in search of foes to defeat, power to attain and rewards to be gained.

I tried to keep my character fairly simple, just giving a very basic background story. I hope I'm not stepping on the DM's toes by naming my home town and describing how I cast spells...

[Infernal]

nag, thatll do fine, you can use it in your story

and Ive seen manna spelt mana and the other way around, ill switch it if you want

[Egyptian Shinobi]

Oh, I don't want to be a bother to the other players. It's just that I've never seen it spelled manna in this context. To me it's always been Mana=Magical Energy, Manna=Biblical Food.

EDIT: And could you please give me the time we're supposed to play, in Central Daylight Time?

[Infernal]

NO, Im going off EST at 6:00 PM, thats 5:00 Central, 4:00 Mountain, and 3:00 PST

then its 11:00 GMT.. and I dont know from there

[foolinthemoon]

I've always seen it spelled Mana as well.

Name: Aerith
Race: Elf
Class: Rogue
Weapon: Dagger
Armor: Light Armor
Health: 20/20 HP
Level: 1
Items: 2 Loafs of Bread
Bio: Aerith felt trapped at home and left to pursue bigger dreams of seeing the worlds. Shes rather blunt and sometimes rude, though she doesn't always mean to be.

I hope i did it right, i know this is what i used to use as a character (basically) not a big fighter, but i can be handy

[Egyptian Shinobi]

Lol. It is currently Daylight Savings Time. But okay. I'll be here when my clock says 5:00 PM. I hope that's not too late. For reference, my clock currently says 12:17 PM.

[Amish Nick_SC]

Infernal, foolinthemoon, if you both love RPGs, then you should try "True Dungeon". Its D&D for real. No paper or book game, not computer, its real D&D in a real dungeon.

http://trueadventuresltd.cmail1.com/email/175819/truedungeoncom/email/2007_price_drop_files/image002.jpg

I've been doing it now for about 3 years, and it rocks. My character is a 3rd level wizard, my friends cover the rest of the 7 party group. This year I'm trying to talk them into doing the battle run, last years puzzle quest killed us. The last one was impossible with the D8 spider puzzle.

Watch a video of what to expect, its cool and fun to do.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tOWFYDqWN5Q

[foolinthemoon]

Wow Amish Nick, looks awesome, that guy in the corner scared me! lol, it does look very awesome!!! http://www.truedungeon.com/true/dungeon.html for anyone whos interested.

You know i've never seen you outside of the Debate Threads! :blink:

[Infernal]

neat as it is, im no where near Indy, or anything similar.

Plus, i wouldnt wanna be one of those dorks who run out in a field screaming '5 MAGIC 5 MAGIC!', and then get in huge debates about who killed who

[Egyptian Shinobi]

Lol. Yeah, I'm all for embracing your geekdom, but LARPing is kinda pushing it even for me.

[Infernal]

im eliminating the numbering system in this, it will just get too confusing and interfere with storytelling.. you al keep your gear though.

EDIT: FOR NOW, IVE GIVEN THE CURRENT PEOPLE NEW ROLES! STILL NEED THIEF/ASSASSIN!

[Egyptian Shinobi]

I'm going to get a haircut, so there's a slight chance I won't make it back in time. I hope this doesn't trouble you.

[Infernal]

takes you 2 1/2 hours to get a haircut?

[TRIriana]

I looove RP'ing. Never done anything like DnD though, I have heard of it. I think most people have, :lol:. If I do fantasy it tends to be one I've created. Though at the moment I'm in an SG-1 RP (forum-based and AIM), and a chat-based Highlander the Series.

Edit: And my sci-fi/horror RP, can't forget that one.

[Derange]

Name: Voodoo
Race: Vudan
Class: Assassin
Weapon: A pendulum blade - she swings it back and forth from her fingers
Armor: None
Health: 20/20 HP
Level: 1 (100 XP to next level)
Items: 2 raw goat legs (+3 Health each)
Bio: Imagine a lizardlike animal 12 feet tall, with two pairs of arms (one massive, one human-sized), a giant whiplike tail, the head of a snapping turtle, and enough strength to crush you to death with one hand. Mhm. That's Voodoo.

[Nora_SC]

Name: Narcissus
Race: Human with Siren ancestry.
Class: Archer/Thief
Weapon: Long Bow/Dagger

Health: 20/20 HP
Level: 1 (100 XP to next level)

Bio: A seemingly mysterious man, his appearance may (and most likely will) fool you until you really get to know him. A descendant of the lusty Sirens, Narcissus thinks himself a ladies man and can often be found wherever they may be.

[Infernal]

well things slipped up, and real life took over..

when do you guys want to restart?

[Egyptian Shinobi]

Well, I have school and other things to do tomorrow... I'm starting the process of learning to drive. So it would have to be in the evening.

[foolinthemoon]

same here.. kinda, i'm driving to durham, not learning to drive, but it will still have to be in the evening

[thothep]

O.o, tomorrow evening I could join, if there'd be room for me? I normally spend Monday evenings wondering what to do, 'cause my roommate's out at a RP group I'm not part of. I can pick up any class there's a lack of, I've played a lot of characters over the years.

AIM - elyndana

[Egyptian Shinobi]

So are we supposed to play today?

[Infernal]

hopefully we will, whose up?

[PerplexinglyMe]

School's nearly out. Can I join?

[Infernal]

absolutely, fill out a character sheet, and AIM name!

[PerplexinglyMe]

Sorry this took so long. :D

Name: Amphitritia
Race: Naiad
Class: Cleric/Rogue
Weapon: Dagger
Armor: Light Armor
Health: 20/20 HP
Magic:15 Mana
Spells:Heal
Level: 1
Items: 2 Loaves of Bread, 1 red bottle


AIM: PerplexinglyMe

[Infernal]

well, in light of some new things, and the lack of interest in the AIM thing, anyone have other suggestions?

[foolinthemoon]

Sorry I havent' been on, I dont' even remember what happened Monday, but i remembering telling my mom i wanted to get home so i can play D&D and her calling me a geek... I also lost my internet for about 24 hours...

[PerplexinglyMe]

I know. I've been logged on AIM for like 72 hours straight. :D

[Derange]

I'm always on AIM. Always. Unless my internet caves while I'm sleeping or at school.

[Egyptian Shinobi]

I sign on to AIM frequently, only to see if certain people are on. If they aren't, I instantly log off.

[Julieth]

Ugh, my computer broke. It's fixed now, so I may be on by sunday, if I can get AIM installed.

[Kaeru_SC]

I've been playing D&D for some three years now. At the moment I DM for a bunch of guys. We used to play in an old garden shed, which made it even cooler, but now that we're semi-grown up and live on our own we mostly play at our place.

My post may be a bit irrelevant for this thread because I'm GMT +2, so the RP will probably take place in the middle of the night for me :) But for advice, general discussion etc I'm here. Couldn't resist posting, 'cause roleplaying is my favourite hobby.

[Tosh]

I would really love an RP section on this site, for on-going stories with sub threads for applications and that, man that would be awesome.

BUT I'm about to join the X-Men A New generation site (it has taken me ages to think up a convincing character!) so I wouldn't use this site as much. TOo many RP forums would be too overwhelming for me.

So, I bid thee farewell as I'm off to discover new destinations for RP'ing <3

[foolinthemoon]

Has everyone seen the new sub forum for the off topic? Role Playing! EEEK! HP laid down some guidlines (whoo hoo!) and I'm excited to see what develops! go look!!! YAY!

[Infernal]

Ya, ive been talking to HP over this, and I helped her with the section in the rules about Godmoding/Godmodding

Should be fun, Ive got some Ideas

SO... what kind of RPs do you guys want to see?

[Delphy]

Moving to the RP forum.

[Infernal]

Thanks Delphy, I made this the place where you can open suggestions for RPs and talk about the ones you'd like to see.

BTW, when do you believe we'll be able to actively start an RP?

[Dell '__']

I'm more of an RP noob. I keep it sims related. Has anyone seen this (http://z14.invisionfree.com/glamorous_sims/index.php?)?

[foolinthemoon]

Thanks Delphy ^^

No, I hadn't seen it. I'll take a look around, but i've already joined enough forums, I hate to add another one to the list! this is the only place i visit on a regular basis.

I'd like to see a DnD/Fantasy type RP
I'd also like to see a this day and age but with a twist... maybe a Hero's type RP?

[HystericalParoxysm]

Okay guys. (As has been mentioned), we now have a shiny new forum for roleplaying. It will be a little shaky on its feet as we get started, but I've laid down some basic ground rules based on my experience in roleplaying and set up a stickied thread so folks can get together and coordinate and plan and all that fun stuff.

In light of that (and the fact that Delphy went and moved this thread into the new forum as I was setting up a sticky for suggestions!) I'm going to go ahead and close this thread as an archive of previous ideas and stuff so it's still accessible for existing ideas, but so our new thread isn't clogged up with stuffs that may no longer apply now that we have a shiny new forum.

Also, Infernal, regarding your question about when we can start doing new RPs - I'd say there's nothing stopping people from going ahead and doing so. May want to try the new coordination/planning thread first just to see that there are players interested in whatever ideas you've got, and then post up a new thread detailing your setting, GM'd or freeform, etc.

Also also, bear in mind that it's okay to have sim-related RPs here. This Sims 2 Community, after all. The difference between a sim RP and a sim contest will be the amount of simming involved - do you have to provide in-game pictures for every round/turn, and whether or not there's an actual competition happening. As stated in the rules there is a grey area in there so if you have a question over whether it's a sim contest with RP elements or a RP with sim elements, feel free to ask. :)
