SubBassman Posted December 30, 2005 Share Posted December 30, 2005 Hi guys Would you play a true CRPG (Fallout style) set in the WWII era? There would be say a few German deserters on the russian front and somehow you should get back to Germany through foul and fair. Or British POWs in the heat of Northern Africa... Or American paratroopers left in the heart of Germany... Let your imagination run wild. There are only fantasy and scifi RPGs; why shouldn't there be a new kind of setting? I know publishers don't like taking too much risk, but it's good to fantasize once in a while. Or should we let the idea die on the vine? My last question: what other setting would you find interesting? My huge NWN mod: Tortured Hearts I. And the sequel: Tortured Hearts II. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Llyranor Posted December 30, 2005 Share Posted December 30, 2005 I want a real Wuxia setting, not some awkward compromise like Jade Empire. (Approved by Fio, so feel free to use it) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diamond Posted December 30, 2005 Share Posted December 30, 2005 For heaven's sake, not WWII Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EUIX Posted December 30, 2005 Share Posted December 30, 2005 (edited) Dark Sun, Warhammer 40k, or Dreampod 9's Heavy Gear universe. All those would be interesting. Edited December 30, 2005 by EUIX "For ourselves, we shall not trouble you with specious pretences- either of how we have a right to our empire because we overthrew the Mede, or are now attacking you because of wrong that you have done us- and make a long speech which would not be believed; and in return we hope that you, instead of thinking to influence us by saying that you did not join the Lacedaemonians, although their colonists, or that you have done us no wrong, will aim at what is feasible, holding in view the real sentiments of us both; since you know as well as we do that right, as the world goes, is only in question between equals in power, while the strong do what they can and the weak suffer what they must."

Hell Kitty Posted December 30, 2005 Share Posted December 30, 2005 I'd much rather an ancient mythological Greek RPG. Or American Wild West RPG. Or a Victorian England RPG. Or feudal Japan RPG. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ellester Posted December 30, 2005 Share Posted December 30, 2005 Sure, I would love a WWII setting. I have no problems with a military setting for a crpg. I also second a vote for a western crpg with guns. I used to play the old Boot Hill pnp game way back when and loved it. Life is like a clam. Years of filtering crap then some bastard cracks you open and scrapes you into its damned mouth, end of story. - Steven Erikson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Judge Hades Posted December 30, 2005 Share Posted December 30, 2005 Yes it would be nice but we have Silent Storm for that. What I would rather see is a good cyberpunk genre game. Modern enough to get that real world feel but with a touch f sci fi to keep things interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Illunder Posted December 30, 2005 Share Posted December 30, 2005 For me I would say Necromunda, hopefully with a big 18 certificate slapped on the case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Judas Posted December 30, 2005 Share Posted December 30, 2005 I know it's been brought up 19030 times but I still think Stephen King's Gunslinger universe would be a sweet RPG setting. And cyberpunk would be sweet as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haitoku Posted December 30, 2005 Share Posted December 30, 2005 I want a modern setting... Not some lame post nuclear settings though (hehehe)... Just some modern day cRPG. With all the goodies of today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Surreptishus Posted December 30, 2005 Share Posted December 30, 2005 I thought i posted a prison setting... maybe that was another thread Anyway, you could be a new inmate who has to gain the protection of a faction and then get drawn into the interplay of the different gangs. You could have the ability to switch gangs or maybe even be a snitch for the wardens. It would never get made, probably too edgy. One can always dream.

Slowtrain Posted December 30, 2005 Share Posted December 30, 2005 crpg western with some supernatural elements. *faints* Notice how I can belittle your beliefs without calling you names. It's a useful skill to have particularly where you aren't allowed to call people names. It's a mistake to get too drawn in/worked up. I mean it's not life or death, it's just two guys posting their thoughts on a message board. If it were personal or face to face all the usual restraints would be in place, and we would never have reached this place in the first place. Try to remember that.

In Gothic you're playing a nameless criminal that starts out by getting tossed into a prison. Then you have to side with one of the three gangs inside the prison to be able to break out (actually destroy the entire prison).. You can't switch gangs though and there are no wardens.

LadyCrimson Posted December 31, 2005 Share Posted December 31, 2005 I'd like one set in the US Civil War period. Most Civil War games are RTS. Ancient civilizations like someone else mentioned would be cool, too. Actually, combining RPG with city building somehow would probably turn me on quite a bit, if it was done creatively/well. “Things are as they are.

Its all in german <_< Is that scenario in Gothic 2? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Gothic was a dirty fantasy game so it doesnt count. You still win, Surp. ...and there was no anal rape in Gothic either. DISCLAIMER: Do not take what I write seriously unless it is clearly and in no uncertain terms, declared by me to be meant in a serious and non-humoristic manner. If there is no clear indication, asume the post is written in jest. This notification is meant very seriously and its purpouse is to avoid misunderstandings and the consequences thereof. Furthermore; I can not be held accountable for anything I write on these forums since the idea of taking serious responsability for my unserious actions, is an oxymoron in itself. Important: as the following sentence contains many naughty words I warn you not to read it under any circumstances; botty, knickers, wee, erogenous zone, psychiatrist, clitoris, stockings, bosom, poetry reading, dentist, fellatio and the department of agriculture.
