what are those rp ideas you have that only you really want to write?

this is weird...on another roleplaying site I'm on, someone is recruiting for a group RP based exactly on this Terra Nova concept. I wouldn't have known (because I've never heard of it before) except that they told me as much during character creation conversations.

Strange minds think alike. Apparently someone is on the same wavelength for my particular part of the autism spectrum.

yeah, like normally, I assume it's a new show trending when I see people advertising such a same item. But the series is like 13 years old. Has it recently been brought back on Netflix or some other such streaming service?

As far as I know, no. This idea came to me after playing Exoprimal and Anthem and wanting very desperately to justify people in power armor fighting dinosaurs and exploring a hostile environment.

yeah, that's always a trend i notice. whenever some popular movie or show is peaking in popularity, there is often ripples of inspired roleplays in the same vein.

When the Fury Road Mad max movie came out, i had hoped to see more postapocalyptic group RPs spring up. But it did not seem to catch on. Niether did I see any sci-fi settings in DUNE analog. Alien: Romulus recently came out and was amazing! Yet, i have yet to see anything that beckons to its narrative and theme.

I dunno... I think I just no longer understand what the younger gen of RPers are into nowadays. I see a lot of Harry Potter and Isekai stuff... to which I gag. Never been my thing, but they remain popular.

I suppose the last time I saw freeform group RPs catch fire was after James Cameron's Avatar. The first one. People went nuts and whole forums spun up primarily focused on RPing in that setting. Despite the second having solid sales I didn't see that revive.

gotcha. That was definitely some time ago. I think I do vaguely remember seeing a few "AVATAR" RPs advertised a while back, though mostly in non-adult places.

I actually couldn't get through the second movie. But they sure did make a shit-ton of merchandise for it.

cool.
I have no idea what either of those are. lmao
I'm assuming video games?

Aside from my sci-fi idea:

• something wholesome and cute, but at the same time a little smutty
• playing opposite an android girl in a semi-futuristic setting
• science fiction featuring powered armor
• fighting kaiju using giant mecha?
