Retake Redwall Discussion

[KitrallStreamrippler]

Hi. I have an idea for an RPG, but I am not a good gamemaster at all (I tried it with D&D). So I was wondering if there was someone who was willing to GM for me (or rather, my idea). My idea is this: Redwall Abbey has been under the paw of a vermin warlord (fox or wildcat maybe?) for many seasons now, and the creatures there are either in the vermin horde or enslaved. Martin's spirit has been long silent. But now he speaks, and the Abbey must be re-taken. Please let me know if anyone's interested.

[KitrallStreamrippler]

Oh, by the way: I'm really sorry if someone else already has an RPG like this. I promise I'm not stealing your idea (on purpose, anyway...). I just thought it would be interesting to have Redwall Abbey be under vermin rule for a prolonged period of time.

I feel like kind of an idiot. Maybe I will be a Game Master? If no one else wants to, I will, but I would really like some help with it at least, like a co-GM. Characters of all- well, most- species are welcome. (I haven't noticed many shrews, though. It would be cool if we had a few, but it doesn't really matter.) Arrgh, I'm so weird and I worry about silly things. *sigh* Oh, well. C'est la vie.

OK I could be it but please don't double or triple post you may just hit the pencil on an notebook which lets you modify your post.That button is right above the quote button. If I'm not the game master I 'd like to be in it.

I'll think about it. Just to let you know, there's also a tournament coming up if you'd like to join

[W0NWILL]

I'd do it. Nice idea. Welcome to the forum, by the way.

[Dannflower Reguba]

I'd volunteer to do it for you, but those other three have to decide first.  Sounds like a great idea, and I certainly plan on joining. Welcome to our forum!

[Romsca]

I actually can't. Sorry

[WoodenSpoon]

What would the GM do?

[KitrallStreamrippler]

Mattio- Thank you. I don't really know very much about forums at all, so constructive criticism is very helpful. Also, I'd love to have you in this RPG, even if you can't be a GM.

Romsca- Thank you, too, for letting me know about the RPG tournament. It sounds interesting, but I'm not sure if I'm ready for a tournament quite yet...

WONWILL and danflorreguba- Thanks for considering. It'll be lots of fun once we get this going.

WoodenSpoon- The GM is the "Game Master". They basically control the "background" details and such of the story, and often plays a character, too. (Sorry if this didn't explain very well. Others, please feel free to add to this explanation.)

Again, thanks to everyone. This is my first forum, and it feels nice to be welcomed so quickly.  

[W0NWILL]

Well, this is considered by other people on other forums who are also part of this forum to be a very friendly forum. This was my first forum as well. And I suggest that you start to flesh out the idea a bit more, add a larger storyline, think of what the creatures attempting to free the abbey need to do to free it, like steal Martin's Sword back or something along those lines.

[Mattio]

Or steal their own tapestry putting them in the villians shoes might be kinda fun

[KitrallStreamrippler]

  I like the idea of the woodlanders having to sneak and steal to get their abbey back; it makes a nice twist. And WONWILL, thanks for your advice. Looking at the idea, it does seem a bit like an incomplete skeleton. I will definitely work on the plot some more.

[BrookSkimmer]

This looks good so far Kitrall  It seems like you're getting the hang of things just fine. Feel free to ask questions along the way, people here are good at helping with putting together role plays.

Once you have a more fleshed out plot, I would love to join in.

[Rainshadow]

  I think that this would be a very interesting RP to join!  When you've got this whole idea thought out, I'd love to be a part of it.
