But I'm thinking of revamping some of my old ISRPs. Whatchya'll think about some of these ideas? - Fallen Ascendants: I've actually talked about revamping this one, which was the second ISRP I've ever made, before, but I'm gonna bring up the subject again: I had a solid concept for this IMO but it fell apart. For those of you who don't know, FA was detailing a war between the representatives of the gods. As things went on the war actually became more and more of a backdrop due to my tendency to over-complicate a story and I was really disappointed. In addition, I worked too hard to make the Mikalzars the good guys and the Vikars the bad guys. For a FA Revamp, I want to simplify the story and make the war the focus as it should've been. I also plan to bring the two to equal ground, with it being a war of differences where the Mikalzars are fighting to keep the Ascendants, the name for these representatives, as no more than objective third party protectors of humanity and leave them to their own devices and the Vikars are fighting to establish the Ascendants as the rulers and protect humanity by leading it. I'm also considering making it so the roleplayer could go neutral in the conflict, although I'm hesitant since that would detract from the war which I'm trying to bring back to the forefront of the ISRP, as well as redesigning the continent so it's not a needle shaped piece of land, but once again, I'm hesitant to do this since I purposefully designed to the continent for that war. Of course, redesigning it would set things up for more complex military maneuvers that my preteen self (I think I was preteen. I'm pretty sure I started late-middle school or early-high school so...) wouldn't have thought of when making FA.
- O-Lord's Game: The idea of a game made by a god was just a thing so I could set up my main villain, who was either a virus or a firewall (Depending on your choices). I failed to actually do anything more with that idea. If I do revamp this one, I'll take strides to actually make it as a video game like setting as it should've been. Shouldn't be too hard, since I do have a prototype model of a game system I made for a revamp of another ISRP I had, although I gave up on this revamp. However, since the particular style of RPG I was using for O-Lord's Game were old JRPGs, expect something like that.
- Worlds of Hesym: I've said this before, and I'll say it again: There is no creation of mine that I've hated more than this ISRP. It got a lot of attention, but my attention got dragged into around 7-8 (Although there were forms for the other worlds) ISRPs all with different settings and stories I had to revolve around the player characters. I will never do the full Worlds, I don't have the patience for it anymore, but I have considered doing roleplays on some of these worlds. Of course, then again there aren't really a lot of people RPing on here anyway, so if someone would like to do the full Worlds, just tell me and I'll dig up what pieces of my memory I have. Granted, I don't even know them all anymore: My harddrive died so I lost all of the notes and with the deletion of the forums, I don't have access to the full list.
- Psyche: Psyche, which was my fourth work, was probably one of my favorite projects to work on. Even though it used the different worlds thing that Worlds did, I actually had a lot of fun with this as these worlds were never made before hand. Rather, the roleplayer chose certain positive and negative traits and then presented them to me. From those traits, I would make a world for them. While it is actually more difficult to do, I actually had a lot of fun with it. Something about doing all of that was just enjoyable. If I revamp Psyche though, I probably won't change much since it had a formula I could work with.
Anyways, these are just the ideas that I had. If you remember anything that I've done that you would like to see revamped let me know. I'll set up a poll so you guys can choose whether or not you like these ideas, or if you don't want me to revamp a different one. If you voted for one option that says "Other" make sure to say which one. I've enabled you to select up to 6 answers, 1 for each of the four ideas I've proposed, 1 for any others you may want me to do, 1 for any you may not want me to do, and 1 to announce whether we're all birdies or fishies. |

I voted "yes please" for all of them, and also for "Other". I was thinking of Crestfall when I selected "other", but honestly your ISRPs have a history of being consistently good, so I'm fine with most things.

- Reign of the Dragonman - This one doesn't even fall into the category of so bad that it's good.
- Demonology - Cliched, edgy bullshit
Here's two examples of bad ISRPs I've done. I've done bad ISRPs.  |

Here's two examples of bad ISRPs I've done. I've done bad ISRPs. I quite liked what I remember of Beating Hearts, but that said, that's just the OP and about three pages from five years ago, so maybe I'm misremembering (I actually considered almost saying that instead of Crestfall for my vote of "other", because I think that I thought it was a cool concept). I do not remember Reign of the Dragonman nor Demonology, but their titles aren't terribly bad. |

However, back then, that kind of a roleplay was something I didn't really have the skills to do. If I did it now it probably could've come out better, but a lot of things would be changed since the thread is gone and that was before I even did notes for RPs. I might also change the name so it's considerably less cringy. Reign wasn't bad. It just wasn't good either. It was stuck in a realm of eternal "eh". That was from a time where most of my RPs were "eh" kind of deals. I don't think you were very active during that time though. Demonology... It was modern day demon hunting. As a demon. It's one of my deepest regrets. |

It's one of my deepest regrets. Redo Beating Hearts. I'll see if I can find it for you; there are ways to recover old posts and threads. I'll look up reign as well. Demonology sounds like the plot of Supernatural season 37, where the player plays as one of those supporting characters who does stuff for a few seasons then dies. |

Demons hunting demons for redemption is never gonna stop being cringy. |

Alright, even though I only remember bits and pieces of it, I've finally figured out what I should for a Beating Hearts revamp. The world is getting modified quite a bit, mostly with the idea of a "spirit heart" and now things work by having your body's heart naturally produce a form of life force. The homunculi (I might have to find a new name for them...) cannot produce this life force however and so they steal it from others.
Since this is about working for a guild that hunts down these guys, I'll be working more on the fighting, probably with dice rolls. I'll also be giving the guild members the ability to use magic (Which was a unique characteristic for the homunculi) to provide options. The magic system will also become a key factor in a homunculus fight since it works by having the guild member force a second soul into their body. Using magic depletes energy from this second soul (Once it's out, you can't use your own soul to produce magic). However, you also lose energy whenever an homunculus uses a physical attack. Once your second soul's empty, any damage on your energy by an homunculus is done to your own soul. Once that's out, you die even if your body's okay, meaning that a guild member could use at most three spells in an homunculus fight unless they wanna be drained.
How's that sound?

It sounds cool. I'd sign up for it.

I'll probably start writing things down for it after work tomorrow or at least the day after. |

We have more responsibilities, thus less time to plan our RPs, yet at the same time we take this more seriously, and as such require more time. I wrote Land of Ferinox in twenty minutes to prove a point in an argument, Siege of Dorthol over the course of a couple weeks, and my current RP looks like I've been working on it for over a month and still has nearly two to go. |

From what I can tell, Psyche wasn't your fourth work. Rather, your fourth ISRP was a piece called Corruption Returns. Do not ask why I was looking up your old ISRPs. I swear that I probably have a justifiable reason for doing so. |

I swear that I probably have a justifiable reason for doing so. Why do you feel you have to justify it in the first place? It makes you look either guilty or paranoid. |

But by justifying a lack of a guilt you've instead provided evidence that suggest a lack of guilt. And I forgot about that one... Wait, you sure? Could've sworn I made Pscyhe before Corruption. |
