CloseHallo to all. I've been pondering, thinking, and stumping over some story ideas. I want to do a Lysander86 move and make an RPG out of a classic fantasy story (The Book of Three). Here's some idea's I've been pondering. Let me know what you think.
If anybody rips these ideas off, I'll see to it that I add a comment to your game with a link to this post. ;)
-An RPG/Adventure game out of 'The Odyssey'. Obviously, the story would be changed around a bit to shorten it & make it more appropriate for an RPG.
-An RPG out of the classic King Arthur legend. Perhaps I'd make stuff up, because the life of Arthur isn't very action packed when he's old and a King, but it's very nice while he's young, sexy, and adventurous.
-Or should I just make up some other story? If you think I did good story-wise in my game 'That Fine Line', please be sure to tell me, as I'm starving for feedback.
So if anybody thinks that these are FANTASTIC ideas, or that they'd NEVER work in an RPG, please tell me.
Thanx. ;D

Probably better in Game Theory buuuuut anyway, why do you feel you need to make a game out of other people's story? Why not just make your own one? I know it takes more effort but it'd be doing yourself a favour.
As for That Fine Line, judging from the comments it looks unplayable. Overpowered bats, glitches etc. Did you fix those issues yet?

I really like the idea of an Odyssey game but here's the issue I have with your post (and it is a HUGE issue):
You cannot take someone else's PUBLIC DOMAIN stories and say that you are the only one allowed to adapt them. Bad form.
Tremendously bad form, in fact. Were these your own stories/storylines, of course, protecting the author is awesome.
However, you can't call "dibs" on Homer. You just... can't.

Well, while you can hardly "call dibs" on classic stories for making your RPG (especially when you are so vague in your opening post), I think that the Arthurian legends offer good grounds for RPGs.

I agree with Kentona here. I like the Arthurian legends, like the knights of the round table. There was a game for the PS2 called "Excalibur" and it was about Arthur and the round table, it wasn't that good but the story and cutscenes were. If you could base you game off of that story, making your own unique alterations, I think it would do well.

I'm not saying that either of these ideas are bad ones for an RPG - in fact, I'd love to see them done.
But you can't say "I'm the only one allowed to make RPGs out of this public domain stuff."

As for the 'calling dibs' thing, I apologize about that. I was tired and wasn't really thinking 'bout what I was typing. Anyways, thanks for your help.
