Some sort of Legacy I suppose
I had an idea for a laidback sort of Rpg, but I'm not sure if I'm the only one who would find it interesting. I'm looking for ideas and a co-mod, since none of my friends rp anymore!
Ummm, basically the idea is the Rp is set in 1992, where this couple are in their 70s. They've had kids and grandchildren and even great grandchildren now. With random 'flashbacks', we'll be telling the story and creating their history as we go. I'm not sure whether the flashbacks will be set as events by the mods, or whether any of the players can start one.
There'll be a timeline to keep track of events and births + deaths of characters etc. I don't want to follow history TOO closely, but it will mimic it a fair bit. I also want lots of, I don't know what to call them, plot points - which can stir up gameplay. For example, at least one character to be an activist ((probably in the late 60s)), at least one character to get a divorce, someone to be a convicted criminal, one character to be a murder victim, one character to be physically disabled. I'm trying to cover a broad range of, I guess you could call them stereotypes, that would be subjects of interest or controversy during the years ((teen pregnancy in the 50s for example)). A character that may be gay in the 40s had to keep it under wraps, but a few decades later could come out ((even though I know they aren't ALWAYS accepted, and still get persecuted, but it would be easier to announce you are gay in recent years than way back then)), or maybe they are so used to staying in the proverbial closet, they don't want to come out!
So basically the game starts in 1992, but stretches right back to the 1920s when the patriach was born. Characters available will be family members obviously, in laws, family friends etc.
What do you think?
