~~DARK FANTASY RP IDEA~~
MIX OF GAME OF THRONES/MALAZAN EMPIRE BOOKS WITH ORIGINAL FLARE
**NAME STILL A WIP**
Tell me what you think of the ideas I've got. Any ideas or suggestions from people are more than welcome! ==========
A land covered in strife, taken over by a ruthless foreign army, has been conquered and ruled for about two years.
There has been a quiet group of dedicated citizens determined to free their city, once a free city now under the control of the Malazans, the empire that controls them now. In the shadows they have been gathering followers and meaning to begin their efforts to reclaim their home.
The gods of the land seem distant. And some perhaps, dangerous.
The ancient evil that once roamed the land eras ago and thought to be long gone, seems to be showing subtle signs of returning. It is not certain, but the winds have grown cold and the bite of winter looms like a shadow of a storm-cloud rolling slowly across across lands of the Empire and those still free of the Malazans' grasp.

Honestly? To me sounds like every other story. Rising evil and good has to rise against it. Gimme more to get exited about.

Well I haven't gotten it totally fleshed out yet. I also wanted to keep the plot vague and open for development within the RP.
I like the rising evil thing... I was gathering that from the Game of Thrones, where the main focus is everything else but there's the threat of what lies beyond the Wall in the far North. If you don't like that I can get rid of it.
ALSO I wanted to make this RP REALLY DARK AND SINISTER. So good may not even rise against it. The main focus would be on the threat of the Malazan Empire, who has conquered many free cities and lands and continues to spread and the empress of the Malazans enforces her rule with terrible agents who work in shadows and strike terror into the hearts of any... yeah. Also, I wanted to add some mythology with gods...
I know it sounds like every other fantasy story. But honestly, most fantasy stories sound like each other. What makes them is the way they go about fleshing out their world and most of all, the characters. I like character-driven stores with action; Like Games of Thrones.
It would help to give me some ideas to work with! What do you think would be interesting?

Even with good rising to evil, it's not like RP's have been concluded... Ever. If there was no conflict, what would the RP be?
I think it's a nifty idea. More about survival, I would think.
And we used to throw all kinds of RP's into production and the ones that worked, took off. The others just fell by the wayside. And I didn't mind it that way.

Lmao! Yeah I mean there has to be some kind of conflict. Honestly the evil will just be something very evil. Trying to survive is a good way to put it. Once I start reading a bit of this new book I just got, I think it will help give more to work with.
And I did want to do a Game of Thrones kind of thing... Not only is Winter coming... so is some dark force.... And not to mention the political unrest with the rebels moving to take back their land.

Sounds cool to me. Personally, I'm still disappointed the zombie RPs we tried didn't pick up as much as I hoped... I love dark, gritty, gutsy RPs.

I would be happy to have another zombie RP. I'm a dark, gritty person as well.
