Hey all, Obould here, not sure if anybody remembers me, but I'm here with an idea for a new RPG. It struck me the other day that I haven't been able to be as creative as I'd like to be, so here I am once again to design beautiful worlds with fantastic people. This is going to need to be a team-effort however, as I want the community to help me design the game before I start it up.

I believe that the players control the game's world more-so than the game-master does, I think that it makes for a better game. So I leave you with a poll. Every few days I shall add another poll for the next element of the game to be implemented. First and foremost, we need a time period for the RPG. Please vote on one of the following basic settings:

- Prehistoric
- Ancient Civilization
- Medieval
- Victorian
- Modern
- Post-Modern (100 or so years in the future)
- The Future (Thousands of years in the future)

Thanks everyone, may we have a fantastic RPG brewing in a week or so!

I'm a follower not a leader, streamline is my vote. though I may change it is enough people say open.

Alrighty, the main storyline will be more streamlined and directed, but outside of that the players will have 'free' roam capabilites. Now, should this be a cooperative RPG or should there be opposition between players?

opposition

A little bit of both perhaps? Too much opposition and too much cooperation makes things a bit bland. I prefer not knowing who to trust. Keep your friends close, but your enemies closer I suppose.

I also agree with rip and danwar, we need a good balance between the two.

I'm always up for co-op, I prefer it in fact, but a bit of opposition keeps everybody on their toes.

So far I can just imagine this game being a story-driven game of TTT on Gary's mod.

I know the first two has been answered, but:
The future
Streamlined
A mix of both

Alrighty, so we'll have a bit of both, as that seems to be the consensus. Next up - Should there be an 'endgame' sort of goal that the players are attempting to achieve (Kill X/Obtain X) or should it have more of an open-ended story (No real WIN condition, just playing)?

I hate games that just end when it was just getting good so I vote for a slightly open end game, but a game that go's on forever is boring so, when things starts to slow down do a final boss fight.

Open ended, let the players have their own goals but create more so the game doesn't end.
