If you have a story idea for us to work with post it up here. It doesn't have to be a long explanation. A short premise is acceptable. For example: Fantasy adventure to stop the end of the world! XD (To pull off the old RPG cliches. XD)

I'm just listing the suggestions put forth by FaronKaos.
- Highschool Drama: Create a story for a highschool setting.
No character limits, all races welcomed.
- Gothic: Victorian/Modern setting using mostly Vampire-type characters, but other creatures are welcomed too.
- Demonic: What's it like to be one of the "bad guys"? Demons war against Heaven. Mostly demon, angel-type characters.
- Quest for a Cure: It's not exactly fighting for cancer's cure,Sick person's friend goes to find a magic cure, that char meets other chars, they're all looking for the same magic item...
Eventually find it in a temple that goes underground, then have to decide how and where they're going to use its power since it's limited. They HAVE to save the warring countries with it first, and the person playing both sides needs to be killed.
- Survival: Characters are set in an isolated area. Can you trust your neighbor? It's every man/woman for him/herself!
Please continue to post suggestions or suggest more detailed ideas for the plots put forth here. Input is appreciated. ;D

A 'simple' goblin raid is more than it appears to be when a powerful artifact is stolen...
Fantasy visitors stumble into the modern world (just imagine elves playing DDR! ^_^)...
There's a spooky mansion on a hill...
Puzzling writings lead to a lost civilization and they're in danger!

There's a spooky mansion on a hill... Puzzling writings lead to a lost civilization and they're in danger! The goblin raid is a bit done... but not a bad idea. I like the fantasy visitors idea. =D Actually, in the RPG I created www.freewebs.com/impur even though it's still being worked on, combines tech and fantasy. Like, think of Trigun. You know the basic plot of how they got on that planet, right? [If not, I'll explain later.] Anyway, instead of landing on a dustball, the humans land on Eluria, a world with beings they thought only to be in fairytales and fantasy stories. But nope! They're quite real. However, BECAUSE the place is still under construction, we can just base a story off the planet. It would require some reading, though. And YES! House on Haunted Hill!!! XD I would love that. OR, we could do a Scary Movie type thing.

>>Elves playing DDR?? Sounds like an animation I have. ...well...I started it and never finished.@_@
Anyway, onto business...or back on topic. I am totally excited with everything put forth so far. I wasn't expecting so many! I think now we can elaborate or modify what we have to come up with something.
Watch out, I'm going to make a list again. XD
- Goblin Raid- As FaronKaos said, pretty generic. But the benefit to that is that there is no species limit and it can be made more interesting.
- Fantasy Modern- This would be way fun too. >_> Totally what I did for MSK. XD There's a lot of possibility for plots in this setting.
- Haunted- Anything haunted and mysterious makes for a great, easy to do story. All creatures can be a part of it. This idea can be blended with some of the others. (I just learned how to play BHH this past weekend. XD)
- Lost Civ- This could be something mixed with the modern fantasy thing.
I've got more ideas to start developing with some of the suggestions so I'll make another post.

Plot Developement Feel free to continue suggesting, but I think we have plenty to work with. Here are some ideas I got based off what was suggested.
>>Fantasy Highschool: One time I found an online manga about an elf high school. It never really got started but I was charmed by the idea. My sister and I got this wacky idea of having a sort of "Fantasy Character Academy" where characters are trained to go on adventures or star in video games. This way we could have various genres compete with each other with some sort of rivalry. Or Perhaps have romances across genres (which may or may not be taboo.) You could also blend the haunted/gothic theme into it. Well it has lots of possibilities.
>>Modern Demon Wars: Again blending the fantasy vistors. A chance to do some modern fighting but also include other races. I haven't brainstormed this one as much.
>>Lost Civ of Demons: More blending. (I should totally be a cat breeder or something). The puzzle unlocks the so-called demonic, who are not necessarily evil. Characters are challenged to either re-seal them or help them readjust.
That's all I've come up with at the moment. I'm not sure what genre the other two artists specialize in but we shall see soon, I hope. Keep in mind there will be a maximum of 10 main/major characters if everyone uses their 2. And there's no NPC limit.
Please continue to suggest or discuss ideas. If you think we have enough to vote on please let me know. I would like to hear what the other artists have to say/suggest first. ((*tries to be patient*))

Except it takes place in the modern day and on different worlds. Even though it wasn't a comic, it got really popular!

Err... It was... it is... It's not in one piece. ^_^; It started off in a dieing roleplay group, I split off and made my own group just for FrostBite and carried over anyone who wanted to join it. That went great for a few years until I left for a mission for a couple years (my character was on a 'secret mission'). While I was away my friend and co-founder made TN (The New) FrostBite and carried on. I think two other schools were spawned from that too (but they didn't last. They needed my leadership, lol!) and then I came back to see an even newer FrostBite taking it's whole forum! There isn't much in the forum though and most of the old groups have dissapeared. At it's peak though we had about 100 members, 40 of which were active. Now most of it is archived notes and stuff still in our heads. It's really slowed down though since I got sick right after I got back from my mission. I still keep in contact with some of the people from there and most say they'd be eager to jump back in the second I start it up again. There's some stuff I have to plan for it though and I think it's making them more eager.

Cool. I used to run this one roleplay with the old Greek/Roman gods were reincarnated in modern times. The girl who lead it though was really exclusive and only let certain members join. Of course, she wasn't the one to turn people away. She let me do all the messy business and I ended up getting hated. >_> I left the forum permanently. But I was always sad I abandoned it. It had such great potential. There were several very good players and it was relatively active.
Saddest part is that the forum had a reset before I could log all the play.
Anyway, I'm getting off topic a bit. Thanks for posting input. Anyone of the ideas you feel particular favor for?

I rather like the idea of mixing fantasy and technology. We could combine it with the idea of the fantasy school. There's two rival schools, one of magic and one of technology. Due to funding problems, one of the schools has to join with the other. Maybe the school of technology falls on hard times cuz they keep importing all this expensive metal to experiment on ... like adamantium (insert random cameo appearance by wolverine).
Of course, the school of magic just laugh at the school of technology and its hard times. The school of magic never has their budget in the red since the alchemists can make gold for pete's sake. Plus all they do is gather and grow herbs all day. They're like a commune.
Much to the dismay of school of magic, however, their headmaster makes a deal with the headmaster of the school of technology and the schools become one. Much hilarity and near death experiences ensue.
In terms of plot, perhaps there could be a conspiracy between the headmasters ... one wanted their schools joined so they could somehow profit from or undermine the other. Or maybe they just wanted to secretly elope. Whatever. lol. Same thing really.
The story can mix anthro with elves with dark brooding machine gun toting crazies.

Awresome! xD Spiffy idea, bb! ^^ That would be fun to do. Reminds me of the Tales of Destiny online-manga a little, though. Not that it's a bad thing. =3

The mixing of tech and magic would open up the character variety. Thanks for the suggestions bb.
