What if LBPC was an RPG?

I don't see why you should simply discard the characters. Just make them look and feel a bit more "general", and voilá, you have characters that anybody could love and retain the references.

If you think we should not do an LBPC RPG.

Ok, so, if we were to make an RPG, would you rather it be LBPC or an original one, and would you work on either?

Personally, I haven't been on here in a while so I can't really make an accurate portrayal of current LBPC, plus it'd drastically limit our potential playerbase and we'd be swamped with people trying to say what they want to be and all that. It might be best to try to make something where we aren't chained to the forum... But, of course, I must know what YOU think. Yes, YOU.

Ok, so I might have gone to bed without mentioning it on Skype -.-

But once I'm less busy I'd definitely be up for working on this in some capacity. It'd be nice to be involved in an LBPC project that actually goes somewhere for once

Not making it about LBPC would kind ofdefeat the point of all this, right?

You wanna come up with a story for the RPG, and you haven't even told me about this? ~_^

We don't have to base the story off of current affairs. Now these days, stuff that happens on LBPC just isn't as interesting as what happened about a year or two ago. If you wanna make an RPG off of LBPC, you have to remember the core aspect of the community: its members. So, rather than basing it off of LBPC entirely, we can use the personalities and characters of various members and have different elements inspired by LBPC, like I did in the comic project I was involved in for the longest time. Here's my idea for a story:

Over several years, the continents of CraftEarth have been increasingly populated by players, to the point that many have began to settle and create vast countries and kingdoms. The Central Kingdom is CraftEarth's largest country, occupying vast swaths of land and boasting several cities and regions. It is ruled by Admin ConfusedCartman, the 3rd and longest-serving monarch thus far in the kingdom's history. Though retaining supreme authority, he leaves state and regional affairs, outside of the capitol region of Modania, up to his self-appointed Moderators. The Moderators act as governors to their region/city, though some wield more power than others. Each region and city has their own share of important individuals and groups, some known for good acts while others do more nefarious deeds. You, the player, are a traveler, and have entered the vast kingdom of Central. Many adventures await, and so do various dangers and opportunities. But ultimately, its up to you on what you do, forging your own path in this vast, exciting kingdom of possibilities.

Here's some ideas for regions/cities:

Spoiler - Region 1

Modania- Moderator: ConfusedCartman, Capitol: Modania

Capitol of the kingdom, and the seat of Central's royalty. This city-state is rather safe in comparison to the rest of the kingdom, as the mighty gauntlet of Cartman and the Royal Guard who patrol the busy streets keep strict and disciplinary order. For the most part, the citizens of Modania obey authority; however, rebellious individuals have caused a ruckus in the city years past and have since been banned to various other regions. Thus in recent times, Modania has played as the center of social and political reform in the land. Law-abiding citizens and powerful authority figures, such as Sir Clayton, Whaaaaale, and the SpookyBuzz family, reside in this vast city. The Administrator's Palace, as well as Moderator Abbey and the Temple of Rules reside here.

Spoiler - Region 2

The Wilderness- Moderator: warlord_bob (though overshadowed by RockSauron/ The Wilderness Alliance), Capitol: n/a

Long since a desolate wasteland where the kingdom's worst offenders were sent to dwell, the Wilderness has grown in population and has started to form small towns. Rich in resources and relatively large in size, it has forever remained a wild frontier where only the toughest dared to stay. Peanut Lord RockSauron, a self-proclaimed demigod of all things peanut-related, has declared claim to the region, and has since waged a fierce war against the sparse residences who dare resist his power. Such individuals, like Outlaw-Jack and gdn001, have played as important figures to challenge of the Peanut Lord's authority, swearing loyalty to a rag-tag group called the Wilderness Alliance. Others however, like SLS10 and Rabid-Coot, have sworn loyalty to Rock and are faithful servants to the cause. warlord_bob, one of Cartman's toughest mods, has been dispatched to the area, along with a handful of Cartman's elite regiment, in order to quell this firefight before it got worse. Unfortunately, they too have been absorbed into the battle, as the War in The Wilderness has turned into a three-sided confrontation. Mount Peanut, the dormant volcanic peak within the Divinding Range where Rock's Castle is based, looms over the expansive Banneville Flats, home to Gamestown and Chatson, among others.

Spoiler - Region 3

Generalta- Moderator: schm0, Capitol: Showcase

The largest region in the Central Kingdom, this land-locked state occupies the majority of the mainland, serving as both the economical and geographical center of the country. Moderator schm0, a former coal miner with a no-nonsense attitude, maintains the region with the help of the Forum Army, the largest military unit serving the monarchy. Its vast plains and rolling hills serve as ground zero for many a project, as Generalta serves as the showroom for all creations and levels formed by people from all around CraftEarth. Due to the volatile nature of the central region, most settlements have been established on the outer edges of the state, sparsely populating the countryside so as to not intrude on CraftEarth's most cherished past-time of publishing. Powerful businessmen such as poms and gevurah22 have made permanent residence near the chaotic center. The capitol of Showcase, located at the heart of Generalta, is home to The Showroom, the largest convention center in all of CraftEarth, which plays host to countless conferences and groundbreaking reveals.

Spoiler - Region 4

Isle of Create- Moderator: Morgana25, Capitol: Arte

A small island off the coast of Generalta, the Isle of Create has served as the creative and imaginative center of the Central Kigndom. Under the watchful guidance of the mystic-mod Morgana25, and the Council of Creativity, the island nation has for many years prospered and produced ingenious and brilliant ideas that have changed the face of CraftEarth as we know it. Vulnerable to pandemics such as "artist's block", this region is constantly under high-alert and is always in danger of being overrun due to a lack of an organized militia. Many times in the past, the nomadic Trolls have raided the isle, destroying precious ideas and stealing national treasures. Today, the Trolls have since adopted a mafia-styled format and operate under the Cult of Inanimacy, an order forever loyal to their leader-in-exile Inanimacy. Such individuals like TheZimInvader, jump_button and >er originate from the Isle of Create, but are constantly on the move due to their creative itches. Arte, an old establishment dating back to before the founding of the kingdom, is home to the Creatatorium, the University of Ideas, and the Cathedral of the Holy BoxGhost.

Spoiler - Region 5

Logicsticstan- Moderator: Aya042/ (unofficially) rtm223/ (unoficially) comphermc, Capitol: Technopolis

An entire region created by the crafty individuals rtm223 and comphermc (in a one-time agreement), Logicsticstan extends off the northern edge of Generalta, acting as a land-bridge to the neighboring country of Planetorium. Built from the ground up by pure logic, this artificial region serves as the technoligical hub of the kingdom, where many individuals go to learn and educate themselves in the realm of technology and engineering. Due to the constant feuding between the original founders, Cartman appointed Aya042 to stand guard over the new region, and to monitor Rtm and Comph. However, despite Aya's capability and the Logistical Bureau, the everlasting influence of the state's co-creators still leaves the region divided, with both the Piston and Winch factions taking respective sides. Certain "logicians" like Sehven and jwwphotos stand prominent among the highly-competitive community. Technopolis, the crown jewel and pinnacle of all things logic, serves as a battleground as both sides wage a war of influence and superiority. Both the headquarters for Roller INC and The Subterranean Co. reside in Technopolis, as well as The Intelligenceon and Pi Square.

Spoiler - Region 6

Welcome- Moderator: LadyLuck_777/ RickRock_777, Capitol: Intro

Located in The Tutors mountain range, Welcome is a peaceful region centralized around the Thanks River, where it is said that the founder of the Central Kingdom, lbp, first set foot. A neutral region, Welcome has not seen any wars since the beginning of the kingdom, and has long since served as a meeting place for celebrations, truces, and all things peace-related. Locals LadyLuck and RickRock, a long-standing couple that ruled over the town of Help, were nominated by the King himself to maintain the peace of this already-tranquil state. Most of the small population resides in the Thanks River Valley, with the capitol of Intro residing next to the large resource of the river: Glacier XP. It is here that you'll find the grand halls of Castle Noobenschwanstein, where many a political summit is held. You'll also find the LBP Memorial and the Temple of Help within city walls.

That's all I can come up with right now.

Considering today's incident, it's very ironic that you guys were trying to come up with a story about hackers infiltrating the LBPC servers.

Not making an LBPC RPG would defeat the point of an LBPC RPG. But we could make another RPG.

Course, we'd need to make sure that people are interested enough in said concept to make said thing.

Anyway, Outlaw, all that stuff is cool and all, yo.

I'd just like to change the plot of the Wilderness area to a civil war between CC's mod, warlrod evil, fighting against my forces for control of the region.

So it was a hack? I thought it was our usual 'site can't support itself' habit.

Me too, anyone know what happened? Or have I scrolled down too fast and missed the thread.

Predicting that a site will get hacked is on the same level as predicting that the Sun will rise tomorrow morning.

**Outlaw-Jack•** · 05-06-2012

And it looks like everything hasn't been cleaned-up yet It says you guys posted last week.

So, do we still need more ideas or is this thing dead already?

We did post last week, LBPC went down on the 28th for several hours when the hack got through then returned briefly before being closed for upgrades.
