So, I've wanted to do this RP for a good, long while. Unfortunately I'm not very good at hosting roleplays or keeping them on track, so I'm looking for a little help as well as a co-host. Here's the basic premise:
And if this seems familiar to you? Then I want to shake you by the hand and call you friend, because it's basically the plot of my very favourite game and what this roleplay basically centres around - A survival game called The Long Dark by Hinterland Studios. The difference being that this will be a group roleplay, rather than the single survivor scenario that the game does so well.
I'm thinking that those in the group could also have set roles - Hunters, gatherers, crafters, medics, tinkerers and, of course, a Leader and Second.
So, I need a bit of help fleshing things out, deciding if I'm going to use the island in the game or make my own, deciding on coding and someone to help come up with plot ideas and help make decisions. anyone interested?

I can do some coding/graphics for you if you'd like, just need a colour scheme and I'll do something up

Lycaonia yea, thats why im not opening my semi advanced rp until may when everyone comes back after school rip my concern about canada is the cold--that, theoretically, would make it harder to survive, although that could be part of it and i have not played the long dark, but were you thinking of incorporating monsters of some form, or keep it purely wildnerness survival?

υиdεяcσνεяѕнεяlσcк That'd be grand ^^ It's meant to incorporate snowy wilderness with a bright, starry night and an Aurora so the colour scheme would be pretty varied - From white and dark blue as the base colours to greens, blues, pinks, purples, oranges and more as accents or highlights, whatever works best. If you like, I can send you some screenshots from the game, it really is beautiful. desdemona The cold making it harder to survive is a big part of the game ^^ You see, it's a sandbox kinda thing, no ending. The premise is'survive as long as possible before something kills you, or you die from either the cold, dehydration, sickness or starvation'. They did bring in an episodic story mode, but the sandbox is what the vast majority of the players are there for. I know it's the type of game that can get boring easily for some, but I love it. No monsters, just hyper aggressive or skittish wildlife - Wolves being the most common, but bears that tear into you, moose that break your ribs and deer and rabbits who flee at the sight or smell of you.

Okay so I've got two backgrounds for you with slightly different colour schemes. Let me know which one you like/if you want any changes.
For the 'headings here' section so where you would have like Introduction, Rules, Joining Form etc. I've got an example of a graphic I can do. I can change the colour from white as well if you'd like. I can also just do text like in the example backgrounds if you prefer that, just let me know (:

desdemona I was thinking of a long-term RP split into basically two parts. The first will take place over the course of about six months to a year in RP time. In this part it will start off with a small group that will (hopefully) expand as time goes on. It's meant to be a bit Apocalypse-Slice-Of-Life in format. A group of people meeting, getting to know each other and trying to cope with the harrowing circumstances they find themselves in. The island is isolated and sparsely populated. Some will die, others will be found and the group will learn and grow together. There may be some minor plots regarding Leadership struggles, illnesses and the like, but nothing major. I'm still trying to sort of sketch out the idea of the second half in my mind, but I don't want to solidify anything at the minute. What I do know is that there is where it will really break off from the game that inspired it as they find a way to reach the mainland, but I'm still a bit stumped where to go from there. Maybe the Geomagnetic event was man-made and they have to somehow find a way to reverse the effects? Or maybe they just decide to find a way to begin rebuilding, founding their own town, or just making their way south to warmer climates. One of those things I really could use a sounding board for. Protractor Nooooo, my mind is blocked enough already ;-; Please benevolent one, grant me your aid, do not curse me to wallow in a sea of blocks! υиdεяcσνεяѕнεяlσcк Ooooo, I really like that background you found for it. I honestly prefer the second one with the black border and something about the white on the starry background seems a little jarring, but I'm not sure what I'd change it to... Hmmmmm, maybe a dark purple where it's white and light blue writing? As to the test example, I think I have something I'd like to use for that sort of thing, but if it doesn't work out, I might change my mind ^^

if they decide to move, that would be better suited to leave up to the roleplayers who join i think
the geomagnetic event could be man made, which would give the group the decision to go about finding how to reverse it this does mean, however, there is likely some evil rich organization that, if the group went up against, they would probably not not win rich people with a cause would keep the electricity for themselves
i do have to ask, is the geomagnetic event continual? cause if it only happened once, it would be easy to restore electricity with the plants already built

Lycaonia I've changed it on the post, is that more what you were thinking of? I also did two different dark purples for the background, so up to you which one you use. I can change it again if you'd like (: If not, all you need to do for the code is just quote the post, go to the bbcode tab and copy and paste it onto your post!

desdemona It's meant to be sort of continual. Anything electric just plain doesn't work anymore, except for during the Aurora, when everything switches on and kinda glitches at the same time. It makes for a very eerie environment in-game and an interesting dynamic. And no matter what you do to something, after the Aurora dissipates it fails once more. υиdεяcσνεяѕнεяlσcк Ah, the second one was just what I was thinking of ^^ Thank you so much!
