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

With the new season coming out, I've been curious about doing a Goblin Slayer RP simply for the challenge of writing a character that doesn't have a real name. Might be an excuse to dip my toes into non-con waters again, too.

Something inspired by the concept of the game SBURB featured in the webcomic that got ruined by its own fanbase and author; Homestuck

The idea of a group of online friends playing a game together, learning it overlaps with reality and will result in the destruction of their universe, with their only hope of having a home to complete the game and create a new universe to inhabit. These friends are then transported to their own "planets", based around their ideas of what an alien fantasy world they as an individual would have to save would be like, meanwhile having to rely on their friends for progress and resources, creating an inter-dependency while forcing them to become independent paradoxically.

Meanwhile, they are faced with enemies at every corner who do intend to destroy the world of the game, i.e. reality, and make it anew, seeing these "heroes" as the primary hurdle in their efforts while fighting the forces of "good" which are destined to lose.

As all this occurs, they have to come to terms and accept the distinction between their friends' online personas and their true selves, even meeting them in person, and what the resulting interactions entail.

To accomplish their goal, they must each visit the worlds of their friends, and face their inner demons personified in the form of an individual boss before joining each other in a final effort on the central battlefield their planets orbit and defeat the final boss.

In an ideal world, it would be a small group game, where each players gets to also be DM for one of the planets IC and OoC. For that reason and many more, it's been a difficult concept to pitch and convince people to play in.

Well, I mean, you perhaps have at least one person who is intrigued: me.
 
Been kicking this plot around in my brain for a good month-ish now, and I think I've got it figured out enough to actually put fingers to keyboard and type it out.

Several hundred years in the future, humanity has spread to the stars, and have colonized dozens of new worlds in the Milky Way. As time went on, tensions rose until they reached a breaking point, resulting in war across known space. One little planet has decided to remain neutral during the war, and continued life as usual. Its forests were felled, its seas fished, and its mountains mined. One day that all changed. Massive creatures rose from the depths of the sea, laying waste to coastal cities for weeks before they were killed by the planet's military forces. At first it was thought to be a one-off incident. But as more creatures - dubbed "Tenshi" by the media - began appearing, a task force was put together to fight them.

Persuaded by outside sources, the planetary government began importing humanoid machines known as "Hachiman" in order to combat the Tenshi.

Well, pilot? Are you ready to fight some Tenshi?

This idea is inspired heavily by Titanfall, though there's some other inspiration thrown in for flavor. I plan to explore and justify why the Tenshi are specifically attacking humankind on this planet. I really want to explore the relationships between Hachiman pilots and their AI, as well as inter-pilot relationships.
 
A pet for a pet? A human is kidnapped and turned almost immortal due to experimentation but humans are social creatures and need company. So what does her captor do? Get his pet a pet.

Since two of the characters are non human there's no interest.
 
My biggest issue with roleplaying is that I often get an idea that I really like and want to do, but then because I sometimes can't get a partner to do it right then and there, I end up becoming interested in a different idea by the time someone messages me about doing that RP. It's why I haven't made a new RP in a while, because I hate being so flighty, so I don't want to risk disappointing someone.

This is why some people update their RT religiously
 
Swinging. I find it tricky to find people who are interested in swinging as opposed to cheating, cuckolding, pimping, control etc.
 
Still looking for something historical. Especially it involves race dynamics (not as a kink, I just like exploring the themes and also the drama.) Especially post WW2.
 
Everywhere I look, I see absolutely no one looking for a Succession roleplay despite the popularity of the series. But also given the fact that I want to use an OC which would make it more niche, I don't think it'll be easy even if I do find roleplayers in the fandom
 
Tekken.

That's it, that's the idea.

Just give me the chance to take a crack at a fighting game franchise and the (admittedly, fucked) timelines that come with the territory.
 
My ideas tend to vary quite a bit, but there's one that's refusing to leave my head for about 6 months now and I've had very little luck in getting partners for it. Despite that, it's been so stuck in that I'll probably need a crowbar to dislodge it from my brain.

The short blurb is, a recently single Mc ends up in bed with her ex girlfriend's mother. That might cause some issues on its own, but perhaps worse is that they actually click really well and neither wants it to be a one time thing.

Low-ish stakes admittedly, but it has the potential for a cute, cozy, and smutty story. With a little drama when the ex girlfriend returns from her plot convenience holiday.

Tell me about it, bro. It is very hard to get a story-based fist fighting plot going. It's even harder if you're trying an original idea and not a fandom.
 
Since playing Monster Hunter Stories 2, I've been wanting to try writing a serious RP in the setting (especially one that has zero smut and is focused on character interaction and growth, especially with the idea of Riders and Hunters being two sides of the same Zenny).

A steam punk flavored setting were mythical creatures are real. like Akhlut, half wolf, half killer whale. I really don't want to go the character gets chosen to be sacrificed route or something like that. maybe it's a tribe that largely shuns the steam-magic ways that have ruined much of the land. Maybe the only way they will survive is by convincing one of these very powerful beings to protect their sacred grounds. Some one gets chosen and they have to convince Akhlut to protect them. But there is always a price
 
There's two comic book characters that, in my heart of hearts, I do want to ship, even though they've never met and it would never work and they wouldn't be interested in each other. But I'm the only one who knows one of them, and the only one who likes the other at all and understands how he should be written. It's clearly something that can only exist in my headfic.
 
A RP with spies, where two agents and a thief are teaming-up to save the world from an ancient menace.

An ancient curse that nobody know the origins.
You won’t find smut, just possible friendships.
 
I never seem to get my vampire ones off the ground but so far I’m still having fun.

I have no idea how to approach that idea OK then hope I meet someone who is curious enough to try it.
 
Classic Sword & Sorcery group RPs. I just never see hem anymore. (This is the part where someone chides in that I should make one, at which point I reveal that I do not have the availability to RUN a group RP). But yeah, for whatever reason group RP is suddenly dominated by system run rules. Where did all the freeform group enthusiasts go?
 
Something inspired by Children of Morta: a family of adventurers taking on an eldritch threat sounds awesome!
