So I've been thinking about starting up a new story-driven RPG, something I haven't done in YEARS. Soundwave seems to think its a good idea and I must admit, I have had ideas/plans for one for years also. Before I would actual commit, I'd rather see how many people are actually interested in it.
Features that apply to this new RPG. - A one-year long story with a set beginning and a set end. - A boss fight every season (4 bosses). - Each season, the landscape/story would take a new turn. More environments would be added and some taken away. - Battles would be modeled after UCA style with a ref deciding a victor. - Players can control up to 8 100% original kaiju (Sorry, no Super Ghidorahs, Omega Godzillas, Uber Anguirus, etc). - Four factions of monster waging war for the Earth (Human/Earth, Terrorist, Alien, and Rogue).
Now some features that may turn people away from this RPG...
- Should your monster lose 3 consecutive fights, it will be killed/destroyed. You would then get the space open for a new monster. - Should you, as a player, win 5 consecutive fights, you will be rewarded with a 9th kaiju slot. If you repeat it, you will gain a 10th slot. After that, no more unlocking slots will be available. - No demonic/supernatural kaiju (such as Demortis, Black Dragon, etc) would be allowed right off the bat. As the story progresses, that could change, but right now only your more traditional kaiju types (mecha, mutants, aliens, and natural/ancient) would be allowed.
If this would be made, chances are my own roster would appear something like this:
- The Hessian - Thresher - Rosie - Leoxic - Cell 3 - Undecided - Undecided - Undecided

Hmmmm.... sounds interesting....
If this is so, my roster would look like:
Kori Kahn Ferrum Magnus Gorgo Erebus Tel Megiddo
Auroros is like a god-monster, Ontslaan's a demon, and Armageddon is like an abomination.
I dunno if I like the idea of your monster dying if you lose 3 consecutive fights. It may not sound like much, but if you aren't an awesome fighter, you can potentially have to rebuild your entire roster from scratch in a month. The rewarding seems okay, but 10 monsters might be a wee bit excessive.
Also, how would a boss monster work? Everyone fights them at once? If so, I got someone who'd make a good boss...
Overall, I like it, but the "monster revmoval/adding" seems a bit excessive. For one, losing 3 battles in a row with a monster would suck big time. Second, it's almost impossible to win 5 consecutive matches in a row. Trust me.

Looks like I might have to think up of a new monster if I plan on joining this... I'm on the fence for this one...

I dunno. It sounds fun and all, but like giratina, I am a little concerned about not being allowed supernatural monsters, as that would mean I would have to get rid of Leviathan, Behemoth, and Ziz. (And Ziz just got here!) It also means that I won't be able to continue my story about Leviathan's connection with Crydmarr, and introducing Crydmarr himself was something I was really looking forward to.
Like Dan, I'm also not a fan of the whole death thing. I don't think I'm interested in this one, UNLESS the RPG separated from the normal UCA.

Quick question: how many people have had monsters loose three fights in a row here? 'Cause I can't recall any.

I don't think I remember any either. Same for 5 consecutive wins. XD

Quick question: how many people have had monsters loose three fights in a row here? 'Cause I can't recall any. Bingo. That's more in play to make sure everyone fights as hard as they possibly can. Sorry, Dan. But only 100% original kaiju would be allowed. As for the demons, I'm pretty sure they would be allowed in around the middle of the second season. However, the demons would all be unified under one banner. Also, some other stuff I've been planning for future RPGs, if I ever do one... Redone Super Weapons: The Super Weapons were introduced in previous RPGs. Think of these like Super Xs and Gotengos. They can help specific kaiju in battle. For example, my Roller would come in help Rosie and Thresher in battle, giving me an extra hit in my posts. However, the Super Weapons can only take up to five hits per match before being destroyed. This would mean, if Rosie and the Roller are facing someone like Suchodon, Suchodon can focus all three of his attacks on the Roller and he'd be 3/5 done for. Chances are, if I didn't have it retreat from the match on my next post, Suchodon could destroy it and force me to create a new. Regeneration would also be allowed, but be used as a limited time thing. Instead of healing all wounds gradually, the player with regeneration could choose to heal one of his wounds in place of using one of his or her attacks. Mechs piloted by alien, terrorist, and human forces would have a slight advantage in battle thanks to tanks/jets/spaceships being able to blast and distract opponents. The opponent could either choose to ignore their assaults (which could build up in damage as the battle progresses) or focus an attack on the military and get rid of them. Or, of course, if its human vs. alien vs. terrorist, the militaries themselves could get locked in battle with one another, making each moot. Players could also have a "summonable" weapon for the alliance. For example, if I'd choose to have the Klenthurians have the Roller as a Super Weapon, I could give my A.K.D.F. the Anti-Kaiju Sniper Rifles, which fire from long distance and can hit up to twice per battle. 3rd and 4th party kaiju could join a battle up to the 10th post of the fight. For example, if Rosie & Roller are taking on Suchodon and are winning, Darktide could potentially interfere in the first 10 posts and try and sway the tides of battle. Likewise, someone else like Rustred may want to come in and help me, turning a simple one-on-one with a super weapon (probably destroyed or forced into retreat) into a team match. I want a prize for the winners, but I don't know what that may be yet. Maybe a "token" system where winners could save up and use their victory tokens to buy more powers, upgrades, and even the 9th/10th slots. Don't know yet.

As for all demons under one banner... Hmmm... that's abit harder... Gotta think on that one...

So assuming that this will be a separate RPG, this sounds like lots of fun to me. However, it looks like I can never, ever bring my upcoming demon in. Oh well, it'll be a UCA exclusive!
