Then there might as well not be any characters like that, if it's a balance problem. But honestly, the only rifle that was ever depicted to do any significant damage to a Graboid was an Elephant Gun (okay, technically not a rifle, but meh), and that was even only when the thing was unprotected by the ground.

I haven't seen tremors in years, so I have no clue what you guys are talkin about.

There COULD be people who know how to use guns/ survival techniques and such, like ex police officers and such. That doesnt mean one of them has a sniper rifle locked up in their closet does it? Because no one knows Grabboids exist yet, why would anyone have weapons effective against them on hand?

[Doc 42]

Hand guns? What about an AK-47?
Something to note: I have never seen tremors. I know very little about it, other than the monsters and the setting. But I'd wager that guns are pretty useless as defence against the monsters. However, guns aren't meant to defend against the monsters now are they? In any post apocalypse where society has broken down, strength becomes authority. Or in this case, weapons. Having a gun or an assault rifle entitles you to stake your claim to something. People won't try force you out of your shelter to make room for them if they know your armed.

Weapons of any sort are vital to survival (And in a round about way, always lead to death) regardless of what's caused so much destruction.

I'm with Kp on this one. Not going to participate, or at least don't plan on it, but if you guys think you can pull it off and agree to stick with it, go for it.

Hey um, i like to suggest a dinosaur king RPG
it could turn into something cool.

[dinoman666]

Slashmaster: patience, young Padawan. We're dealing with the Tremors idea right now.

CS: That's exactly what I'm saying.

[Doc 42]

wtf is Dinosaur king?

[Evil Eye]

King of the hill combined with ISS? =o
Hehe

Tell me when I may input my request as well... though I'm not sure if it'd be better as an e-war

[C S]

Doc: Imagine the generic PLAYING CARDS = EPIC BATTLES genre

with Dinosaurs

voila. Dinosaur king...with elements from pokemon

[Godzilla Forever]

Couldn't've put it better any other way, CS.

[The Kingpin]

personally, my opinion is simple. no, no and again for good measure, NO.


it's basically pulling the Dino element from ISS and mashing it haphazardly into the Pokemon RPG [which, in and of itself, is hardly a success]. i dunno what everyone else thinks or whether anyone wants it, but in my opinion, it's a terrible idea...

[Giratina93]

Actually, the Pokemon RPG did far better than I expected it. I thought it would die out after only 6 pages... My heart right now is very happy...

I also vote against the Dinoking RPG. where's da plot? NEVAH ENUFF PLOT!

[The Kingpin]

Gira, considering your Pokemon RPG could be spoken of the same way, i don't think you're in a position to talk...

[Godzilla Forever]

For Dinoking- no. Sorry, but it just can't work.

[Godzilla Forever]

Sorry for the double post, but I have an RPG idea:

Shadows of the Abyss RPG!!!!!!

The storyline is that the world has been thrown into complete chaos, with the legions of the Abyss, led by the 5 children and Craefr, and the enforcers, led by Tarnus and Frayhn, are waging war against each other, with the humans sandwiched in between the monumental battle. It is inspired by Darksiders' end-war story and by my own mythologies.

there are 3 factions to play as:

Legions of the abyss: The most feared of the factions, they take use of undead, demons, and ghastly beasts.

The Enforcers: Warriors who keep the balance of light and darkness in check, they use angelic creatures and holy beasts.

Humans: The weakest faction, they just want to survive the war. They have the most technology of the factions.

You can create a demon/demonic beast, an undead, a spectre, an angel, an angelic beast, or a human.

What do you think?

[Doc 42]

What Era are the humans? Renaissance? modern day? Sci Fi?

Also, are the Enforcers friendly with the humans?

[Godzilla Forever]

The humans are modern day era technology. However, the Enforcers and Legions of the Abyss use bows and arrows and magic instead of guns, so the humans are "most advanced".

And yes, the Enforcers are friendly to the humans, but the humans do not trust them and are not firendly back to them.

[TyrannoTitan]

Kinda off topic, but I have to ask: Where do you get this stuff, G4E? Like the stuff in RPGT E-war, is it your own mythos or is it inspired/taken from actual media?

On topic: As for the suggestion, I my main concerns are a few things: First, it does seem similar to FRPG or SSRPG. There have been a few topics that deal with demons and the like, and the concept is essentially the same.

Second, you seem to put a lot of focus on the demons, but not really as much on the humans or the Enforcers. In my opinion, if we look at Darksiders, the thing I liked about the side of Heaven in the game was that they were basically one with technology. It gave an interesting take on the whole concept of angels, seeing as their wings were basically robotics, they had futuristic weapons, and were very organized and tactical. It was a serious contrast to the demons, who were chaotic, violent, and very primal, using mostly natural weapons (Claws, teeth, etc) and the very basic of weapons, and the occasional magic.

Giving the Enforcers bows and arrows kinda ruins this aspect. Its essentially making a Heaven VS Hell kinda thing, which can be replicated in other RPGs, with demons fighting various other things, but replace "blast of holy energy" with just "blast of energy"

You could, actually make the humans futuristic and such, which would actually give them a fighting chance against the others, taking the place that the Enforcers would fill (Again, if we are comparing it to Darksiders). You see, you have to give motivation for players to use each side, rather then just stick to demons and such. You've explained that the "evil side" includes demons, horrific beasts, and undead. You said the Enforcers only get angels and holy beasts. While the holy beast concept might be interesting, what, exactly, do you define them as, or the angels for that matter?

Traditionally angels are basically winged humans, and in this case, wield medieval weaponry. Booooring

And you explained even less of the humans. Honestly, this idea has potential, but you can't just reuse the concepts of other media, even if the details are completely creative. Like, demons being...demons, but fighting against battle suit wearing angels, or mech-armed humans. The more originality, the better, but that doesn't mean things need to be overly complex.

Rant over. For now.

[Godzilla Forever]

My ideas are mostly drawn from things that I invented long ago as a kid, bored in school. Tarnus, for example, was a fire dragon with temper issues at first, but evolved into a good creature. Pandemonium originally filled the role of the ruler of the Abyss when I was a kid but was quickly replaced by Craefr to add in his bretheren. Blaze is inspired by the Balrog, and Frayhn..... well, he was orignally the demon General, but was changed to good to make it even.

As for the on topic stuff, I can see where you are coming from.... maybe I can just cut the humans out? I don't want this to become a clone of FRPG or Darksiders...........

I've got it. The demons will have NO ranged weapons, relying fully on magic. The Enforcers might get cut out, but if put in, they will get fantasy tech, like lightning cannons and the like. the humans will get realistic future tech, like guided rocket launchers and laser tanks, maybe even mechs to even it out.

As for holy beasts: holy beasts can be things like eagles, pegasus, holy dogs.... a holy beast can be pretty much anything you can think of, just not things associated with evil (snakes, bats, dragons and the like, Tarnus being the one exeption).

In fact, one holy beast I made was a horse with eagle wings and a giant katana horn on its head!!! It just has to seem............ I don't know, less menacing than the demonic creatures.............

Oh yeah, the angels: they look like heavily armored European knights, but they can look like normal people if they want. Demons, not so much......

[TyrannoTitan]

Interesting. Ya, the Enforcers sound cool, and giving the humans futuristic tech would work out great, in my opinion. Considering the relationship between humans and the Enforcers would be better then the demons and...anyone, but perhaps the Enforcers could be...snobs, for the lack of a better term?

Like, the Enforcers could be comparable to humans in their tech, but consider themselves the better, backstabbing humanity left and right to suit their needs, to give humans motivation to fight both demons and the Enforcers, if that's how you intend to do things (All sides fighting each other, I mean). Enforcers could have impressive golden armor and that sh*t?

And if you really want to make holy beasts and dark beasts really different, I'd say make the holy beasts also decked out with tech. Either armored, or actually being cyborgs (With the same overly flashy golden aspect of the Enforcers ).

And ya, I think that things like dragons shouldn't play both fields. Its best, in my opinion, if they are portrayed as either ruthless beasts, or benevolent creatures of myth.

This is just my ideas on the subject, though. Its your RPG, so I'm just making suggestions.
