Tell Us About Your Ideal Musebox Game Ideas

[anonsandbroomsticks]

A small musebox game of about 5 muns, less then 10 at the most.

No AC. We can have CR showing and planning posts if that seems to be needed, instead.

A flexible setting. No character limits.

No apps per se, but having a character introduction post might be a good idea.

What types of characters would you bring to it?

In terms of plot, what are you looking for?

[leekspins]

I have a lot I've been juggling around. Not sure if I'll actually MAKE them, but eh, who can say? Feel free to borrow/steal them if you like!

1. High school AU with Ranma-esque hijinks (so powers and weird abilities would probably startle people at first and then gradually become the norm).

2. A nice quiet slice-of-life game based on the Harvest Moon/Rune Factory setting, with optional mechanics for farming, mining, fishing, etc.

3. An OC-centered Amber DRPG game, with FC's allowed from shadow worlds.

4. An ongoing online Dungeons and Dragons campaign. With DICE. And hopefully no cheating.

5. A game set on AU Earth where magic is commonplace and comes in a huge variety of talents and methods, such as runic tattooes, spells cast with wands, divine powers, etc. Those who dabble with demons in order to pump up or regain lost powers are waging a war to break down the governments and RULE THE WORLD.

6. Already started up a Star Trek cross-canon AU, but if that's a musebox idea you'd like to snag, do eet.

lol Ranma-esque hijinks

I am so there

What tools/sites would be involved?

[flagrare]

Well, I'd honestly love an all HP dressing room. I don't know if there's one around that's in existence or still active, but one would be nice.

Everyone just lives in one giant apartment building

and no one questions it.

Re: Tell Us About Your Ideal Musebox Game Ideas

This. Loved and seconded.

Re: Tell Us About Your Ideal Musebox Game Ideas

I play there.

Re: Tell Us About Your Ideal Musebox Game Ideas

[real_moon]

And where is that apartment?

Re: Tell Us About Your Ideal Musebox Game Ideas

[swanprince]

tell me more, that my character might annoy everyone in the building with his harp music, too many pets, and feathers everywhere.

Re: Tell Us About Your Ideal Musebox Game Ideas

[hoodforhire]

Please tell me if you or anyone else creates this. I'd be a terrible DR mod, or else I'd do it.

Just give me the chance for Jay here to annoy the shit out of the entire apartment building. I promise it will be a traumatic magical experience.

[questionslinger]

And then Eddie was over borrowing shit constantly.

[hoodforhire]

He'd better be.

also I'm sorry I've been lagging on replies. I got sick and then got scared about backtagging bc I'm a moose!

[questionslinger]

ppfft I had midterms and pretty much fucked off into the sun for a while.

Back tag until the end of time with me.

[hoodforhire]

♥♥♥ I HAVE IT IN WRITING THAT YOU ASKED.

[questionslinger]

You do! Get down with your bad self.

[(Anonymous)]

Hmm, some sort of large mansion or something where lots of different characters end up and have to live together.

Naturally hijinks would ensue.

Mythology-based Sci-FI Musebox

[4182]

I've been tossing around the idea of a sci-fi musebox for OCs based off of the Greek gods, goddesses, spirits, etc.

So far, the basics I have down are:

1) None of the primordial forces like Gaea, Okeanos, Ouranos, etc. (except for maybe some kind of events/plot points).
2) The setting for the most part would seem contemporary; the sci-fi element is mostly constrained to the presence of some kinds of space colonies, either on the moon or in orbit.
3) The atmosphere is kind of like the Cold War, in the sense that there's this constant suspicion of espionage, etc., but it's not a dystopia.

The whole idea of basing them off the figures from myth is mostly to help shape the personalities and potential relationships with each other. I think the most ideal situation would be having none or few of the characters going in knowing each other or related (with the exception of maybe characters like Artemis and Apollo, whose twinship is kind of essential, though that could also be dealt within other ways).

I figure once there's a sizable group of Greek-based characters, it could be opened up to other mythologies.

Whether the characters have abilities based on the domains of the gods or not, I'm willing to go either way on.

Re: Mythology-based Sci-FI Musebox

[daughter_of_didymos]

This actually sounds interesting. If you open it up to characters from mythology based canons, I'd probably be all over it, at least with this girl.

Re: Mythology-based Sci-FI Musebox

[4182]

I'm not familiar with the character or her canon, but I'm not opposed to having canon characters in this with some AUing.

Re: Mythology-based Sci-FI Musebox

[master_fist]

She's from a book series, but she'd be AU anyway since she kind of died 11,000 years before the actual current timeline of the series. I mostly play her from the standpoint of being transplanted through time in a few psls, but I can actually work up a decently detailed AU for an actual game/musebox thingy.

Also her death is basically referenced even before her name is known from the first book, but they're also kind of supernatural/paranormal romance type things so not everyone's bag. I mostly read them for a few characters and the entire world building thing.

Re: Mythology-based Sci-FI Musebox

[daughter_of_didymos]

...and now with the real journal

Re: Mythology-based Sci-FI Musebox

[4182]

Ohh, okay. That seems workable.

I still have a lot of work to do in terms of a plot/setting, but I think something along those lines will be able to fit in.

Once I have things more settled, I'm gonna post what I have on rpanons.

Motorcity Musebox

[ninthlife]

I have this Motorcity Musebox I made a few months ago. thedepths

I know there's not a high demand for it and the fandom is pretty much non-existent in most corners of the internet, but I figured it wouldn't hurt to post. The setting is the same as the show: futuristic "utopian" city built on top of an old ruined city where freedom is still a value. Also, CARS.
