I don't know exactly where to post this topic. The General Discussion is for wiki-related stuff and the Forum Games section seem to be for games running on those subforums, so I posted it here.
Anyways, I was curious if there are any good Homestar Runner Forum RPGs on the net? I've done numerous Google searches, and nothing really came up. I've checked the forums here (with some of biggest HR junkies I've seen to date
), yet no continuous HR-themed RPGs.
If not, I would like to pass on the idea of what I think Homestar Runner deserves: A Forum site devoted to roleplaying in all that is H*R themed, and a proffessional one at that. When I mean proffessional, I mean the kind where if you wanna roleplay someone big like Strong Bad, you need to require members to sign up, writing a very detailed character bio and be ready to devote yourself to such a major character.
To give an example, there was this one forum RPG site I was at that was devoted to this one anime (I would show you all the link, but that would seem like unneccessary advertising). Anyways, every single major, minor, and even most singley one-lined characters were being RPed. Every different location in the world were given their own appropriate subforum, every different universe and major continent was given its own seperate category in the forum ... I could go on, but I'd like to say that it was the most organized forum RPG I have ever seen. Also, you could ONLY take characters from the show, and only once you were active enough would you be allowed to make a max of one made-up character. If such a forum RPG for H*R would exist, I would stress the fact that a number of forum RPGs have way too many made-up characters running around, and will usually destroy the atmosphere in which the original subject was (not saying all, just a lot). In a universe such as that of H*R, which is heavily character driven, this would be a definite must.
How much of a range of characters are there really for such a major RPG Forum to be able to distribute to members? A lot more than one would probably think. You have to consider more than just Free Country, USA. Here are some that come directly to mind:
- Free Country, USA
- Old Timey 1936
- Peasantry
- Stinkoman K 20X6
- Sweet Cupin' Cakes
- Teen Girl Squad
- The Cheat Commandos
Of course, if such an ambitious Forum RPG site were to start, it'd need to limit itself to only Free Country, USA most likely to start and build itself up as more members joined.
Sorry for the complete rambling. A simple question turned into a complete suggestion topic I guess. If I had the time, I would love to start a great project like what I mentioned, I just doubt I could without much manpower
