Im asking permission to start a new Halo RPG. By looking around the site, it seems that its time for a new one.

Setting: Earth, right after the events taking place at the end of Halo 2 and preceding the events of Halo 3. The main focus will be around a small ONI facility in Cambridge MA, UST **thats United States Territories** called Yankee Station.

Situation: Yankee Station is one of many Ground Control facility's for the Orbital Defense Platforms. Sophisticated electronic and surveillance systems are housed here as well. The Covenant have discovered the purpose of this station and plan to wipe it off the map. The defenders, 30 marines, are low on ammo and supplies.

The single ship in this RPG is a frigate called BattleAxe. She hosts a contingent of Marines, and ODST. The mission will be to break the seige on Yankee Station and evacuate all personnel and sensitive equipment before the Convenient can get their hands on it.

Rules:
1. Absolutely no SPAM-ing
2. Characters are limited to a rank cap of Sgt. Major for now..possible field promotions for Marines and ODST characters depending on people and need.
3. Spartans ARE allowed
4. Posts will be written in novel format, try to keep the posts to a reasonable length...makes for a better story. And PLEASE try to use proper grammar.
5. Covenant characters are always welcome, we need you guys to help the story along.
6. I want to limit this to a max of 10 people, first come first serve.
7. Have Fun.

Thats it for now. Let me know how it looks, Im new here so any feedback is appreciated.

2. UNSC Marines
3. ODST
4. Civilian mercs. under UNSC control

Thanks and
JOIN MY RPG!!!!

does anyone live here anymore??

Remember my Unhosted RP Forum suggestion in case of 😉

There are more active members there ✅

And I would in that case want to be a Spartan 🪩

you know....i just might 😄

im here 🪩 trying to find fantasy types

The Halo idea certainly did look like it would work better Unhosted, especially the novel format, so I think it is going ahead in there.

Why not a more comedic halo rpg that resembles red vs blue?

Okay, I think I've actually comeup with a decent idea for a game.

It's like red vs blue in spirit and RP..

But it's Dungeons&Dragons.

Yes, I want everyone to be a human and be a class of anything from the system reference document. Because i'm poor and don't have anything else.

When you die, you return via a clone at the base. I won't get into the character creation process as the game doesn't exsist yet. But i'm sure it could be a ton of fun.

I have an idea of a game set in quasi-medieval setting. There is a huge Kingdom, but the King is insane and rebellion seems inevitable. People would play mostly characters from major noble Houses of the realm, engaging in political intrigue, but war and duels as well. There are minor supernatural elements in this setting- for example there is a an enormous wall in the far north, beyond which monsters are rumored to exist and current ruling family conquered entire realm because they had dragons. However only availible race are humans, and most people don`t know anything about "magic". Setting is based on fantasy saga called "The Song of Ice and Fire" but characters will be diffrerent than in book.

Also, I am going to be Gamemaster and control all important non-player characters. There will be simple rules, mainly based on different levels of skills.

If people are interested, I will ask Ush if I can make the thread with character creation thread and more setting decription.

Minimal magic? Boo 😛

Me being me aside, I think it sounds nifty.

Well, you can play character with some "magical" abilities, but either it would be very undeveloped, or high chance is that you are consorting with dark powers. Dominant religion is very against such things, but there are rumors of sorcecers in foreign lands. Having ancient bloodline also helps. House Targeryen, currenly ruling the Kingdom, are descendants of ancient Empire that was supposed to have powerful mages, but was destroyed in ancient catastrophe. They salvaged several dragons from the disaster and conquered seven Kindoms of Westeros, that are currently one Kingdom. But after several hundred years only one dragon is left, because they needed to be kept in closed spaces. Dragons get bigger and healthier when they get to roam free and burn stuff. Of course, current King is insane and loves burning stuff.

But yes, this game is going to be gritty and vicious, not heroic fantasy. Propably not PG-13 as well, though I am not sure how much this board allows for. You can have badass characters, of course. But think more middle ages than superheroes.

Well, I still think it sounds cool and I still say that I am interested.

(I'm not exactly a fan of superhero-type characters anyway)

I would be very happy to play this game, especially if I could be a Cardinal 😄

Seriously though, its not often good political RPs come along!

I may post some preview later if Ush allows me.

You can play the leader of the religion, called High Septon- though he isn`t as powerul as Pope at height of his power- current ruling family likes priests that know their place, though they cannot ignore them.

Note that while game may be political, people can play formidable warriors and even assasins as well- though I want most of you to be nobility. And you are not going to be best swordsman in the realm if you are teenager.
